I would like some feedback from YOU! Usually I just write to just vent and lay out my thoughts so I can work them out better when I have them in front of me. But I don't know what my blog readers like to read about. I would like to know what topics you would like to read about more? my QOTW's? my jewelry making? my Henna? a lil more about my crazy/busy life? about my religion, Islam? or culture? idk.


Is there anything you would like to ask? If so, leave a [decent] question in the comment section below and ill be sure to answer them =)

Ban on sugary drinks, Hell yes!

So I was extremely excited to read in the paper this morning about Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to ban large size sugary drinks in their ambitious effort to combat raising obesity! The ban is to take place by next March and it would affect restaurants, delis, movie theaters, and bodegas. This wouldn't apply to grocery, drug or convenience stores. 


According to metro NY- not all soda and sweet drinks would fall under this ban. The list of drinks that fall under the proposed ban are:

  • Coke
  • Pepsi
  • Sprite, etc
  • sweetened cofee or tea
  • energy drinks(ex redbull)
The 16 o.z. drinks that do not fall under the proposed ban are:
  • diet soda
  • milkshakes and other dairy based drinks
  • alcoholic beverages
  • lattes
  • cappuccinos
  • fruit juices (with at least 70% real juice)
I think this is a great start! When people are forced to buy smaller drinks, for example-they're not gonna carry 2 16 o.z. bottles to the theater. That is the goal, but obviously people make their own choices and those that are addicted to soda and other sugary drinks will do what they have to do.  Our society needs to start somewhere due to the rise in obesity, and in the future years I hope for this 'drug' to decrease its addicts!
