Hot and Not

           Friends, it is officially Summer here in Az.  We hit triple digit temps yesterday and today.   So while everywhere else in the world, people are freaking out about Spring getting it's shit together, it was 102 at my apartment.  Ridiculous.  However this got me thinking in a "Hot or Not" sort of way and I thought it would potentially be fun to share with you my hot or not thoughts on some things in our world.

Hot: Gwyneth Paltrow.  Let me list a few reasons why. 1-She wore this knockout number to the Iron Man 3 premier

  I don't know a whole whole lot about fashion, but that is killer confidence on People's Most Beautiful Woman.  2-when on the Ellen show she joked and laughed off critics views of her dress and how she couldn't wear underwear.  I don't really know many women or celebrities who would joke about "rockin a 70's type style"  when talking about showing off her goods.  3-Her second cook book "It's All Good" has already shot to number 1, and in it she shows off her natural beauty.  That's right, no make up, no hairstylist.  

Not: Chris Brown.  Do I really need to say why.  The fact that he still makes money and profits anything make me sad for society.  

Hot:  Marvel movies.  These movies aren't just for nerds anymore.  While they still appeal to die hard comic book fanboys (they stay very true to comic book story, straying not too far; rather expanding), they have gathered a higher following.  Soon they were appealing to action fans all over.  When news hit that Joss Whedon was on board, nerds everywhere rejoiced, bringing in more fans from cult followings like Firefly, Buffy, Dollhouse etc.  And the trend continues.  While more Marvel movies are in the works, plus a tv show centering around Shield, it seems that we are in store for a few more great years.  And ladies, I highly encourage you to see these movies.  Even if you are being "dragged" to these events, they have everything you could want.  Plus I mean, look at this eye candy.



Not: Sports Blogger Claire Crawford.  For those who have not seen this yet, the blogger wrote after  an Oklahoma City Game that one of the cheerleaders, Kelsey Williams was too pudgy.  It's pretty bad that women attack each other and treat each other like shit, but this takes bullying to a whole new level.  Claire Crawford, you're job is to blog about sports, not bully women into your ideal beauty standard.   

Hot: Staying motivated and living a healthy lifestyle.  Do your thang!  Eat healthier if you want.  Want to juice?  Feel free.  Raw vegan is right for you?  Right on.  Stay motivated, stay true and do what's best for you.

Not:  "Fitspiration."  A study was just released about all this "fitspiration" madness.  Two groups of people were asked to keep detailed food and workout journals.  One of these groups was also asked to post the so called fitspirational posts to help their progress.  In the end, the group with the fitspirational postings had higher depression, anxiety and tended to overeat as a result.  Now this is not necessarily how it is for all of us out there.  I'm sure some really do find them to be motivational and helpful.  But we should make sure that they are helpful and not hurtful to us.

    That's all I got for now lovelies.  If you have any hot or not suggestions, or would like to add on, feel free to comment below or find me on facebook at facebook.com/trista.tuzik and let me know!

  1. I like your post here!! The hot or not thing was so interesting to me! Especially that last one because, well, duh. ;o) But your last NOT really got me thinking. I was doing pretty well on my mostly raw mostly vegan diet thang, but then I started posting to this silly blot what I eat every day, and holy shit did I start to overthink things sometimes! Not all the time, and actually not even most of the time. I don't usually think about something as I'm eating it and say, "Man, I don't want to tell people I'm eating this!" But I totally see what that study found and how easy it could be to fall into that trap. It's always good to track things like that if you're having trouble, but I get it, girl. Man. Thanks for sharing!!
