Let's Move !

On February 10 2010 Michelle Obama launched her Let's Move campaign. The Let's Move campaign is a nation wide campaign that brings together non-profit, for profit and private sectors that want to fight childhood obesity. At this given point in America at least one and three children are obese or overweight.
April of this year Beyonce joined the First Lady in her campaign to fight obesity in the United States. Studies show that one and three children born in the year 2000 and after will be obese at one point and time of their life. They will also have a bout with Diabetes in their lifetime.
Beyonce's new song titled "Move Your Body" is bound to get you up and going. It's fresh energetic and makes you want to move. She incorporates dances from different eras and cultures. At one point you may be hitting your 90's Runner Man and then taken to Spain to hit the Salsa.
It's a great video and makes you want to move. So let's all encourage ourselves, family members, children and friends to Let's Move!

Dollhouse Meets Kelly Price & Attends Somwa Ball For A Cause

April has been one hectic and busy month for DOLLHOUSE! We kicked off the month with the Somwa's Foundation (Survivors Of Mothers With Aid’s) basketball game on April 2, 2011. Ball For A Cause Charity event. The coaches were legendary Shady Kem Prada, and Kym Hampton from the WNBA. The game was held at gauchos gym in the Bronx tip off was at 2pm. The game was AMAZING and consisted of some WNBA players and volunteer players. The basketball game was a great event Kym Hampton’s team won. All the proceeds will go to the Somwa Foundation and Shaq the founder will be taking all her beautiful mothers on a cruise around the city. The cruise is this Sunday on Mother’s day a present to all the deserving mothers.
Now the most epic event took place on Tuesday. Kelly Price came to Fashion 40 202 W 40th St (btw 7th & 8th Ave), beautiful venue, great food and the hostesses are gorgeous. Kelly's 6th studio album was released this Tuesday, May 3 and she came out to help Dollhouse raise money for Aid’s Walk 2011.
Kelly met with press from Essence Magazine , Black Expressions. Good Morning America and our very own LGBTQ 3minds, Ikons Magazine and Nolabelz Magazine. Kelly who was very friendly and all around genuinely enjoying her time with everyone at Fashion40, helped bring so much more joy to an already joyous cause.


We also had the pleasure of hearing some phenomenal poetry from Messiah. He toured with Kelly while he was an Undergraduate at Howard University. He has also done the BET Awards preshow and ShowTime At the Apollo. His poetry on Tuesday night was about Hiv/Aids. Very heartfelt this man is the next big thing! His words are so insightful. If you ever have the chance to support one of his shows please do. You will not be disappointed.
Kelly did a very personal walk through met, hugged and took pictures with everyone that was in attendance. After her walk through she sang "Tired" from her new album. Beautiful song and the lyrics will give anyone in a bad situation the courage to move on. My favorite line has to be "I'm tired of the broken promises". That's a line no matter your age creed gender or background you can relate too. It's just so heartfelt. After she sang her soul out on "Tired" Kelly did personal meet and greets for everyone who brought an album that night.
I have to say she is one of the most humble individuals I have ever met. Kelly helped Dollhouse raise money for Aids Walk and shared her 6th album release with all her family, friends and fans.
To everyone attending #SweetHeart2011 have a safe flight. Everyone who is staying in New York I hope you come out to join #TeamDollhouse and walk with us on May 15th 2011 at 9am for the Aids Walk 2011.

#TeamSingle vs #TeamRelationship

Relationships or Single which one do your prefer??? Me personally I'm #TeamSingle! Till I meet misses right! Not miss right now! ..I'm Mia sweet, Aquarian girl that you love to party with! I'm from long island so yes I have my blond moments lol. Spoiled brat, Mac addict, Big Hair that always consist of curls and I love red velvet cupcakes w/ lots of cream cheese icing lol ..Oh yeah and I'm Davone "Bosslady" Madison's assistant so for all things Dollhouse-Playhouse & DHMG ask me. This is my first blog and I will post a new blog every week. Discussing a range of different topics, relationships, single life, intimacy levels, fun dates or whatever you want me to discuss. Now enough about me lets discuss the pros's and con's of #TeamSingle!
I enjoy #TeamSingle its like having my own personal Baskin & Robbins 31 flavors. You are never bored nor should it ever be a dull moment in your life, when you are openly dating. Openly dating is when you date different individuals and yes they are all aware of the situation. When you are openly dating you have the opportunity to get to know different people. Experience different things gain multiple perspective's on what you like, enjoy and what you don't like in people. The choice is solely yours but make sure honesty is always there and you continue to communicate.

You should never feel the need to lie to anyone or have to lie about what you are doing. Being honest is very important when you are single. You must be honest with the people you choose to hang out with, get acquainted with date or just simply choose to have sex with. Everyone is different so you may need to communicate with people continously to make sure they understand that you are #TeamSingle. For me being and declaring #TeamSingle is independence, freedom, variety. The spice of life I am not tied down to anyone and I can sample each one for my different flavors in a different way!
　

It can become very difficult juggling all these different woman especially if you are trying to do it at once. Which can become overwhelming and that’s when you need to slow down and regroup. Cut some loose if they are just hanging on by their coat tails. If you don't need to add more flavors to your mix at that time, then don't. Its all about communicating and just enjoying each others company. Make sure you continue to let them know that you are still single and just enjoying their company. The situation between you and someone can become very complicated and difficult if there is no communication. Sometimes you will feel alone even with all these different woman in your reach. That is OK! It just means you are human and want something more stable and solid. Do not make a drastic decision by calling someone over to come fill that void it can complicate things. Then you have someone stalking your where abouts and popping up at all your hangout spots...lol and that is BAD!

Tips for this Thanksgiving

Sweet potatoes: Use apples, not marshmallows.
Sweet potatoes and yams are considered interchangeable, but they're not the same nutritionally. Unlike yams, sweet potatoes are packed with vitamin A. "[Yams] have lots of color, but they don't have a ton of nutrition," Carey said. "They're high in water."

Take six medium-sized potatoes with three apples. Jonathan or Honeycrisp varieties are two examples of apples, most of which are at the height of their season in the fall. Thin-slice the potatoes and apples and alternately layer them in a casserole dish. Carey advises adding just a tiny bit of butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Bake the dish at 350 F for 45 minutes or until tender.

Stuffing: Use low-fat chicken broth, not butter.
Carey said that she still cooks her turkey with the stuffing inside it. (Others advise cooking stuffing in a casserole dish to avoid potential foodborne illnesses that can arise from temperature problems when it cooks inside a turkey.) The key to a healthier stuffing is to axe the butter and replace it with low-fat chicken broth.

"You reduce the saturated fat when you eliminate the butter," Carey said. Although many recipes call for slices of white bread to form the body of the stuffing, Carey opts for seasoned croutons, which contain more flavor. Add celery, onions, eggs and other traditional stuffing ingredients -- just leave out the butter.

Green bean casserole: Use slivered almonds, not mushrooms.
The traditional way of cooking a green bean casserole by including cream of mushroom soup and breadcrumbs should be avoided. "It's really high in sodium," Carey said.

Instead of breadcrumbs, add flavorful sesame oil, a valued monounsaturated fat. And substitute slivered almonds for cream of mushroom soup or sliced mushrooms, which are in many traditional recipes. The almonds add superb flavor and texture to complement the green beans as well as vitamin E and protein. Saute the ingredients but not so long that the green beans lose their crispiness.

Pumpkin pie: Use fat-free evaporated milk, not whole evaporated milk.
Pumpkin pie is a healthy addition to the table since pumpkin is packed with alpha- and beta-carotene; fiber; and vitamins A, C and E. However, the whole evaporated milk that's recommended in many recipes should be replaced with fat-free evaporated milk. "The whole evaporated milk has butter fat in it," Carey said.

If making your own piecrust, Carey suggests using whole-wheat pastry flour, which adds fiber. "My guests always love it," she added.


Here are five simple Dr. Gourmet Thanksgiving guidelines:

1. Serve fresh snacks.

Put out bowls of popcorn: It's super easy to make and popcorn is full of fiber.

Fresh veggies and dip are especially easy now that most grocery stores sell bags or platters of pre-cut peppers, celery, carrots and cherry tomatoes. Making your own dips helps you control the calories, but you'll also avoid the added chemicals and salt in many prepared dips.

Nuts and trail mix made with dried fruit are a great party snack. While they are higher in calories, research has shown that eating nuts before a meal helps us feel fuller and makes us less likely to overeat. We also know that nuts and seeds help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol.

2. Think about drinks.

Don't buy soda for your Thanksgiving day festivities. A can of regular soda contains a whopping 9 teaspoons of sugar.

Make fantastic iced tea or lemonade with only one or two teaspoons of sugar a glass. Delicious, refreshing, and each drink has 100 fewer calories than the same amount of soda (you probably can't get 9 teaspoons of sugar to dissolve in a glass of iced tea).

Alcohol can be a big source of excess calories and can also make you less inhibited and lead to eating more than you really want. Limit the number of drinks and alternate your alcoholic beverages with non-alcoholic beverages, preferably water. (And encourage your visitors to have a designated driver!)

3. Eat real food.

More and more research is showing us that the more processed food is, the worse it is for you.

Soup is a great starter course. There's good research showing that people who have a soup course to start with eat fewer calories overall. Fall is a great season for soups -- they're so warm and satisfying.

For your main course, choose fresh turkeys that have not had any fat or sodium added. Many have had flavorings injected into the meat. Check the package if you purchase a frozen turkey: the ingredient list should list only turkey.

If you usually serve a ham, serve pork tenderloin or a pork loin roast instead. Good quality cuts of pork like these are lower in saturated fat than that spiral-cut ham and have no added salt.

Traditional Thanksgiving side dishes are some of the healthiest you can eat. It can help your diners a lot to serve only a single starch -- whether that's stuffing, yams or potatoes. It's best to choose baked yams or mashed sweet potatoes instead of stuffing or dressing, as they will have better quality nutrients and are generally higher in fiber.

If you are going to make stuffing, don't use a mix. The products on the market are full of salt, chemicals and often added fat. When making your own, use whole grain breads or cornbread. Both will have more fiber than the stuff you get out of a box.

Serve veggies, veggies and more veggies. Serve a wide variety of vegetables with your Thanksgiving spread.

Cranberry sauce can be great for you -- cranberries have tons of antioxidants. They are, however, tart and most pre-made sauces have a lot of added sugar. Check the package for a brand with the least added sugar (or make your own).

4. You don't have to have a second helping.

Stop and think about how great that food was before you head for the buffet table again. Sometimes that's all it takes for you to keep from overeating.

5. Serve a portion-controlled dessert.

Instead of making a whole pumpkin pie, make Pumpkin Tarts or Pumpkin Crème Brulee. Carrot Muffins or Pumpkin Nut Muffins are also a good choice.

Best of all, serve fruit. Go with something fancy like Poached Pears, or if you don't want to make the effort, serve cut fruit or berries with whipped cream (the real whipped cream from a can help you with portion control too).

It's been decided. On October 20th, 2010, we will purple in honor of the recent gay suicides. Many of them suffered from homophobic abuse in their schools or in their homes. We want to take a stand to say that we will not tolerate this. Purple represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that's exactly what we'd like all of you to have with you: spirit!

How to Help a Suicidal Person

How to Help a Suicidal Person



Always take suicidal comments very seriously. When a person says that he or she is thinking about suicide, you must always take the comments seriously. Assuming that the person is only seeking attention is a very serious, and potentially disastrous, error. Get help immediately.


Follow the information that is on the home page of Suicide.org. Feel free to view the home page of this site and to use it to help you. Dealing with a person who is suicidal is not easy, so following what is on the home page of Suicide.org can help you. And always remember that you need to call 911 or your local emergency number immediately for anyone who is at a high risk for suicide. Do not hesitate.


Try not to act shocked. The person is already highly distressed, and if you are shocked by what is said, the person will become more distressed. Stay calm, and talk with him or her in a matter-of-fact manner, but get help immediately. If the person is at a high risk for suicide, call 911 immediately.


Get help immediately. Call 911, 1-800-SUICIDE, or 1-800-273-TALK. This point cannot be overemphasized; a person who is suicidal needs immediate professional help.


Do not handle the situation by yourself. A suicidal person needs immediate assistance from qualified mental health professionals. Again, call 911, 1-800-SUICIDE, or 1-800-273-TALK. And do not allow untrained individuals to act as the only couselors to the individual.
