Beverly Hills Housewives: The Morally Corrupt Faye Arsenic

I love my housewives. I have said it enough times that I assume you'd get the picture by now. Anyway, tonight's episode of Beverly Hills Housewives Faye Resnick struck again. This woman is one piece of work. Let me break it down for you.

Faye Resnick is known for being Nicole Brown Simpson's best friend, who shortly after her passing, took her new found fame due to her best friends murder trial to pose for Playboy. Real winner right there. Camille called her out on it during the first season by calling her the "morally corrupt Faye Resnick". This was already setting us up for more to come with this piece of trash.

This season she makes it clear she does not like Brandi. At a party for some new vodka called Zing that Adrienne is trying to push, Marissa tells the girls Brandi sent her a text saying "I know how to save your marriage, give each other a hall pass". Marisa was confused as to why she would need to save her marriage, but was just commenting on it, when Faye jumped in and began to slander Brandi. Faye told simple hearsay that she doesn't even know for sure. Yolanda said do not speculate and to not make a big statement without seeing it with your own eyes. Yolanda pointed out that if Marisa, or anyone else, had an issue with Brandi they should say something to her face and not throw her under the bus. Which I completely agree with. Yolanda is like a beautiful blonde angel. She really is the voice of reason and honesty, and she takes NO bullshit from anyone, especially hot messes like Faye.

Marisa Zanuck

Shortly after Adrienne's party, it is announced that Paul and Adrienne are getting a divorce. Lisa throws a party in which all the girls are there, minus Adrienne. Yolanda pulls Marisa and Brandi together saying to Marisa that what she said at Adrienne's party to Brandi to clear the air. She was looking to have Brandi explain where she came from to Marisa about the text message that was sent. When trying to clear it all up, and making progress about both Brandi and Marisa explaining how they feel and how they see things, Faye decided she should jump in. One question, WHY?! Mind your damn business! This had nothing to do with Faye, but because she saw an opportunity to attack Brandi, so she went for the kill. She interrupts the conversation and begins to tell Brandi she is the reason Adrienne and Paul's marriage failed because she caused them so much stress. Marisa and Yolanda both told her how much bullshit that was, and how it has NOTHING to do with Brandi. Brandi sticks up for herself by quoting Camille in her own funny way by saying, "The morally corrupt Faye Arsenic". I loved Brandi for that. Faye didn't go over to defend or help Marisa in anyway, she went over there to cause a fight with Brandi. Faye then says to Brandi, "Honey, no matter how many Chanel's you borrow, you will never be a lady". Like a damn Chanel bag has anything to do with being a lady, and how dare she tell Brandi she will never be a lady, yet she's walking over balls to the wall ready to cause drama! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Faye Arsenic

Brandi Glanville

Yolanda Foster 

Faye has nothing better to do than harass Brandi and cause all kinds of drama. She acted like a high school mean girl, and she was looking for nothing more than to put attention on herself. Faye is a disgusting woman, and I think she is miserable and wants everyone else to be miserable with her. I have no idea why Kyle is friends with her because Kyle is much better than the piece of trash Faye is. Faye is unhappy and miserable with herself, and she is bored with life, so she feels the need to attack Brandi because what has she got to lose. Not a damn thing. Faye is a nobody, and shes lucky anyone even talks about her now. The only reason we even talk about her because Kyle brought her lame ass on the show. Faye Arsenic needs to take a dose of her own poison and mind her own damn business. There was NO reason for her to butt into the conversation, and it was not the time nor the place to accuse someone of ruining a marriage. The destruction of Adrienne and Paul's marriage is solely between Adrienne and Paul. That marriage was on the rocks in season one. There were too many times that they clashed and acted like it wasn't a big deal. That marriage was doomed the moment the cameras started rolling, in my opinion.

Faye needs to find her own life and stop using her friends fame to garner her own fame. She is nothing more than a tag-a-long. Someone like Faye is miserable and desperate for anyone to pay her any mind. She needs to find a new hobby that doesn't include bashing people. She is negative and poisonous and needs to take her hot mess issues to a psychiatrist.

VANDERPUMP RULES: A LOVE STORY

It's no secret, I love my housewives! I have a fondness for Jersey and Beverly Hills. My two fave housewives being Lisa Vanderpump and Melissa Gorga. When Lisa was given her own spin off for her restaurant SUR, I had to have in on it.

Jax and Stassi

Obviously, if you've seen the show, the main premise of it is the tragic love story between Stassi and Jax. Both beyond ridiculously good looking people in the midst of a lovers quarrel. They dated for two years, and lived together as well. Jax is being accused by Stassi of cheating on her in Vegas and subsequently getting another woman pregnant. Jax denies this claim to everyone at SUR, and this leaves Stassi on the outs with everyone at SUR.

Jax then begins dating former meth addict Laura-Leigh. Anyone else see the red flags? Anyway, their romance is hot and heaving. The two of them are always having sex multiple times a day in public places. Jax tries to make it clear to Laura-Leigh that they are just having fun. It comes to light that Jax may only be using Laura-Leigh as a rebound, which HELLO SHE IS! Laura-Leigh destroyed her relationship with Stassi for Jax, who was using her as a rebound. Laura-Leigh is a hands down a hot mess. She is that girl that all ex girlfriends cannot stand. No wonder Stassi blew up on her.

Anyway, Jax tries to win Stassi back saying over and over how much he loves her and how she is the one for him. They begin to work on things when Jax decides to be honest and drop the biggest bomb. He finally admits that he had sex with a girl in Vegas and got her pregnant. Stassi burst into tears, finally being vindicated, and tells him she never ever wants to speak to him or talk to him ever again. Jax also admits the truth to his friends, and they are all annoyed and disappointed that he lied to them.

Jax continuously tries to convince Stassi he is changed and that she is the one. I think it's a load of horse shit. If he really wanted to be with her he would have never cheated or lied in the first place. He made her look like a fool and caused her unnecessary heartache. A man like Jax won't ever change, and if Stassi went back to him she would be in the same cycle over and over again. Jax is the kind of man who convinces himself he loves someone so deeply and that they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but if another woman came along, its dunzo. He would and will say anything in order to convince himself and someone else how he truly feels. If he can lie about getting a woman pregnant, he can pretty much lie about anything.

What makes me beyond happy about all of this is that Stassi seems to not give in. Yes, she considered being back with him until he confessed the truth. Also, she did admittedly hook up with him after the fact. Clearly, she still loves him, but he really isn't anyone to love. He is selfish and if it came down to being faithful to her and getting what he wants, he'd forget she even existed.

Men like Jax need to be shown to every teenage girl in the world so that they know what to stay away from. Give him a chance, but when it happens DO NOT RUN BACK TO HIM. Yes, some of us girls, including myself, have to make a couple mistakes a few times to really be sure it isn't worth going back to. We all do it, it's insanity, but it happens. All we can do is make an example of a man like Jax and warn other women to not bother with men who play such petty games. It should be something we should be able to avoid, but we will all have at least one Jax in our lives before the age of 21. Just remember, if you run into a Jax, be a Stassi. Meaning, when you find yourself with a liar and a cheater, leave him and don't bother looking back because you're not going that way.

Jersey Girl Shake It For Me: Part Deux

I haven't written in a little over a week because I have been focusing on my health. Since I was 11 years old, I have been struggling with my weight. I was never an overweight child, I just had some extra that could go, maybe 10 or 15 pounds. By age 12, I hit my goal weight of 120. I should also mention that I am 5'5'' so 120 is ideal for me. I was extremely active, I rode my bike everywhere, walked, ran, and many other things. The weight kept coming off until I was at an unhealthy weight of  108. My body was shutting down. I was eating and all that. I never once starved myself or threw up. I just didn't understand how to maintain. I was told to put weight on.

By the time I was in high school I was about 130, which is perfectly fine, but that 130 turned into 140, that 140 turned into 150, and I was HUGE! It was bad. By my sophomore year I maintained 135, and then by  my junior year I was 127 and I stayed there until my junior year of college, that's when I blew up to 145, and then 150 again. 

At 21 years old I weighed 165 pounds. None of my clothes fit. I was drinking heavily, I ate nothing but crap, and I was in a bad place in my life. I ate and drank my feelings. I let another person get so deeply under my skin that it became detrimental to my health. My senior year of college, I went on Nutrisystem. It worked wonders. I went from 165 to 140 in about three months. I felt fantastic. Unfortunately,  I couldn't afford Nutrisystem anymore, so I had to cancel it. I maintained my weight, but I wanted to lose 15 more pounds. I was stuck at 140. When summertime came, I gained about 10 pounds from going out every weekend and not hitting the gym like I should have been. Once I changed my habits in late July, I got back down to 140. Again, I was stuck.

My weight has fluctuated since September, and finally I had enough, I broke down to my mother. I wanted to know why I still carried this extra weight, She told me it seems like I was eating an over abundance of carbs. She suggested I try Atkins. It worked for my uncle and he has maintained his health and weight for over 10 years. I decided to do my research. I read Dr. Atkins book, googled different blogs, different reviews, and finally I decided this was for me. I do not use Atkins products other than the book Dr. Atkins wrote himself. Everything I do is clean. I make all my own food, and I follow Atkins strictly.

I have officially been on Atkins two weeks. I feel wonderful. I'm never starving, always satisfied, never stuffed, and I have already lost 13 pounds and three inches from my waist. A typical day for me is this:

Breakfast:
3 Eggs scrambled with either Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese
2 slices of bacon

Snack:
Half an Avocado or full fat String Cheese

Lunch:
I always have spinach and arugala with the occasional cucumber
Steak, shrimp, tuna salad with mayo, or Tilapia
Caesar dressing or Buffalo Bleu Cheese dressing

Snack:
2 hard boiled eggs

Dinner:
Spinach
Steak, Tilapia, or Flounder with drawn butter

I never feel starved or deprived. The first three days were hard because I was going on a sugar crash. I was addicted to carbs and sugar. Sugar turns into fat, so I'm sure a bulk of this weight loss is because of no sugar. I ate A LOT of candy. I love Bottle caps, lollipops, and chewy sweet tarts. It wasn't rough, but I was getting a sugar crash headache. Eventually I got over it, and I began feeling immaculate every day. 

The reason I feel Atkins is the best choice for myself is because it gives you the tools to maintain your weight and health for the rest of your life. I need that maintenance  I need it because I'm tired of the yo-yo. I'm done. I will be successful in this and I will be able to sit here and say I DID IT.   I plan on documenting how this goes for me. So far I am on cloud nine. I would like to stay that way for the rest of my life.
