WOW!
As I was surfing the web I came across this website discussing jobs at Starbucks and how people did on their interviews and if they ended up securing the job or not. After reading this, it really made me wonder how some people are successful at finding employment. With the invention of Word and spell check, how can someone make so many mistakes? Below is one I had to share. Now, take special notice to what position this person accepted. WOW! (Gong throw has to be my favorite part.....HA!)

Mr. Coffee Recall
Mr. Coffee stated that they are voluntarily recalling this product and that - "We have received reports that a build-up of steam can force the brewing chamber to open and expel hot coffee grounds and water, posing a burn hazard." Go here for more info. and what to do if you qualify for the recall.
Is anyone as happy as I am about this recall!!! I hate this machine! I purchased this Mr. Coffee single serve brewer (knock off brand of a Keurig) last year. At first it was o.k., but after awhile it started spitting coffee grounds all over the place and into the actual coffee we were drinking. (NASTY) At the time we just figured it was because it was an off brand and not the real thing. So last Monday night we went to Elder Beerman to get a real Keurig and we saw the signs posted about this recall. So, now I have no idea what we are going to do with this new Mr. Coffee that they are sending me. :( I wish they would just give me a refund!
This is the one we got in place of it:

belVita Breakfast Cookies/Biscuit
After seeing the commercial that Snookie and Deena from Jersey Shore were in, it sort of took me awhile before I tried these. (Sort of Skeptical -- I was like......what are these?!?! Hangover Cure?) HA!
*** I was hoping to find the commercial video to post.....but, after reading I think that belVita had a lot of negative feedback on the "star endorsers" and they pulled all videos. ***
But, after I did, I really enjoy the belVita breakfast cookies. I was so excited when I heard they brought out a chocolate flavor. I have only had the Golden Oat. But, they really capture that salty and sweetness that I crave. Some people disagree with this product b/c they say that they really do not have any "good" nutritional value. Go Here to Read As I am not disagreeing with this, I am just trying to take smaller steps towards being healthy. I believe that this product is better than some foods I tend to grab in the morning or nothing at all. So that is why I like and eat the belVita packs.
I really like how they come in their own individual packages, they are easy to grab and go. You can pair these cookies with yogurt or fruit to make a really filling breakfast. I normally do not pair anything with the packs b/c I do not have a huge appetite in the morning, so I just sort of munch on these throughout the day.

Metabolism
Do you ever wonder why you can't eat the same diet foods that your friends or family does and not lose weight? The other day I just happened to be watching Dr. Oz and he said that everyone has a different type of metabolism. I already knew this, but he made it clearer to me as to why this is such a big deal. When I was still in college my roommate and I joined weight watchers and we went and bought all those frozen meals. She ate them everyday and lost weight. I ate them everyday and it seemed like I was bloated and actually gained more weight than I lost. I didn't understand it at all. But, now I sort of have a better grasp on it. I know now that I can not eat processed foods to lose weight. I have to eat mostly fresh prepared meals and I know if I stay between 1500 and 2000 calories I can lose weight. The hard part is just doing it!! (ha)
After the show I went to Dr. Oz's website and took the quiz that is available to tell you what type of metabolism you have. Now, don't expect anything amazing because it is not. It is very simple. But, it was neat because it sort of gave me a little bit of any idea of what I need to do a little different.
I took the quiz and I am a type A Metabolism. It said that I need to add more protein to my diet. It said that I should have 50% protein, 30% fats, and 20% carbs. Go here to take the quiz.
