Boot Season

Hey everyone, before I begin I just want to say Happy Friday!! I stepped outside this morning and I felt the cool, crisp air and immediatly I thought. It's time to rock my boots. ITS BOOT SEASON YEAH!!! Now being a plus size woman its a challenge finding stylish boots. Either you have big feet(slowly raising my hand lol), thick calfs, or you may not be able to find a comfortable heel. *SIGH* Well I'm going to make it my mission to find stylish boots for plus size women facing this challenge.I went on the search for what style of boot I'm looking for. Me personally I am looking for something unique and different so I found this website called www.barefoottess.com. They specialize in boots from sizes 11-15! There moto is "Because style does not stop at size 10" I love that..... and here is what I found.This particular boot is called the Mantiboah 'Buffalo Dancer Boot'. I liked this boot because of its uniqueness and style, they look comfortable and they would definatly look good paired with leggings and a long sweater.(very native american)ite is $199.00. I really like these.Now this boot I love. It's called the Delman 'Gaiety' Boot. I love this one because its very chic, structured, and sexy.(not to mention unique) This would look good paired with tights and a sweater dress (very simple)the cost of this boot is $299.00 its on sale from its original price which was $595.00.Last but not least, the Muk Luks 'sweater knit' Boot. I just thought these boots were cute, plain and simple. They kind of remind me of Uggs. Rock these with a pair of jeans and sweater or tunic top will bring the outfit together nicely. These are sold for $49.00.Okay I know the prices are high but my next challenge is to find the alternative to these boots. And if you can deal with the price remember they are on www.barefoottess.com. Let me know what your boot pics for the season or if you like the ones I picked all you have to do is leave a comment. To be continued......Hey if you liked this blog go to my blog spot at www.upscale07.blogspot.com for fasion tips, conversation, and the latest trends in fashion.

YOU CAN CREATE A VIRAL MARKETING VIDEO CAMPAIGN USING VLOGS AND YOUR CAMERA PHONEVIDEO SHARING SITES CAN GROW YOUR BUSINESS.Information provided by Juniques Marketing (www.juniques.us)"Make Extra Income in Your Spare Time Just By Sharing Videos With Your Friends!"click hereThere are many video sharing sites that allow you to upload your videos for free.Are you using this business building tool to grow your business??A video hosting service allows individuals to upload video clips to an Internet website. The video host will then store the video on its server, and show the individual different types of code to allow others to view this video. The website, mainly used as the video hosting website, is usually called the video sharing website."Make Extra Income in Your Spare Time Just By Sharing Videos With Your Friends!"click hereBecause many users do not have unlimited web space, either as a paid service, or through an ISP offering, video hosting services are becoming increasingly popular, especially with the explosion in popularity of blogs, forums, and other interactive pages.CAMERA PHONES ARE CHANGING THE WAY VIDEO CONTENT IS BEING DELIVEREDThe mass market for camera phones has increased the supply of user-generated video. Traditional methods of personal video distribution, such as making a DVD to show to friends at home, are unsuited to the low resolution and high volume of camera phone clips. In contrast, current broadband Internet connections are well suited to serving the quality of video shot on mobile phones.Most people do not own web servers, and this has created demand for user-generated video content hosting, which the likes of YouTube are catering to.Mobile video hostingA more recent application of the video hosting services is in the mobile web 2.0 arena, where video and other mobile content can be delivered to, and easily accessed by mobile devices. While video-hosting services such as YouTube have developed means by which video can be watched on mobile devices, mobile-oriented web-based frontends for video hosting services that possess equal access and capability to desktop oriented web services have yet to be developed.A mobile live streaming software called Qik allows the users to upload videos from their cell phones to the internet. The videos will then be stored online and can be shared to various social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Videos will be stored on the servers and can be watched from both the mobile devices and the website."Make Extra Income in Your Spare Time Just By Sharing Videos With Your Friends!"click hereYou can send video from your mobile phone and have delivered to major social networks instantly.Are you putting this business building resource to work???Qik is a mobile live streaming web application that allows users to stream live video from their cell phones to the internet. Qik enables users to record and upload video directly from supported cell phones. Qik, a Silicon Valley startup, launched its alpha version in December 2007 and went into public beta in July 2008.As of April 2009, Qik supports about 128 cell phones for its software. Qik videos can be shared via Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and many other online web 2.0 sites.On April 2009, Qik was the first mobile video service to support Facebook Connect. It allows Qik users to automatically post videos directly to their video collection or wall and does not require them to install additional Facebook applications.The Company's headquarters is located in Redwood City,California. Qik has another office in Moscow, Russia.Send out live updates to your friends on your favorite social networks; you can even sign into Qik using just your Facebook or Twitter login!https://qik.com/YOU CAN CREATE A VIRAL MARKETING VIDEO CAMPAIGN USING VLOGSVlog has changed the way we communicateIn late 2005 to early 2006, a new form of blogging emerged called a vlog. It is a blog that takes video as the primary content, often accompanied by supporting text, image, and additional metadata to provide context.Communication of information in media that can be easily forwarded such as Internet videos, text messages (SMS) can effectively augment word of mouth transmission of the information throughout social networks."Make Extra Income in Your Spare Time Just By Sharing Videos With Your Friends!"click hereYou want to create a message and/or video that can go ViralViral Messages refer to marketing messages that are passed from person to person through their Social Networks.

Hello BBWO!I had the privilege of interviewing veteran filmmaker Lee Daniels where he talks about his highly-anticipated film "Precious," starring Mo'Nique, Lenny Kravitz and working with newcomer Gabby Sidibe. In the intimate conversation he tells a dramatic story from childhood that explains why he chose to bring Sapphire's book, "Push," to the big screen.Also check out the interview I did with Gabby Sidibe, the star of "Precious." She is such a delight. Funny and witty. When we did this interview she was completing her second film called "Yelling to the Sky."Would love to hear feedback? And please feel free to leave comments on Creme Magazine.Have any of you seen the film yet?-Vanessa

How Stress Affects Your Weight

It’s difficult to avoid stress. Stress enters our lives daily. It can impact your well-being and success on any type of fitness program.Stress can mean different things to different people. A roller coaster ride is a thrill to one person -- a terrifying experience to the next. There is good and bad stress. Daily exercise is an example of good stress. Stress can be defined as: wear and tear of life; adjustive demands made upon individuals to the problems of day-to-day living, or any physical or psychological threat to a person’s well-being. Stress is essentially a good or bad change which evokes a generalized physiological response of the body to physical, psychological, or environmental demands.Body reactions are a good warning system to monitor stress, they include:1. Easily overexcited, irritability, depression2. Increased heart rate3. Dryness of the throat4. Impulsive behavior, emotional instability5. The overpowering urge to cry or run and hide6. Inability to concentrate7. General disorientation, alcohol or drug addiction8. Accident proneness9. Feelings of unreality, general weakness, dizziness10. Fatigue - paranoia11. Body trembling, increased medication use12. High-pitched nervous laughter13. Stuttering14. Grinding of the teeth (bruxism)15. Insomnia, nightmares16. Inability to take a relaxed attitude17. Perspiring18. Frequent urination19. Diarrhea, indigestion20. Neck or lower back pain21. PMS22. Migraine headaches23. Loss of appetiteIf stress is prolonged, and especially if physical action is not a permitted response to the stress, then it can drain the body of its reserves and leave it weakened, worn, and susceptible to illness.Much of the disability imposed by prolonged stress is nutritional; you can't eat, can't digest your food or absorb nutrients, and so can't store them in reserve for periods of need.Many people eat excessively in response to stress since food can have a relaxing effect. You can develop a conditioned response so that whenever stress hormone levels become high, you feel the need to eat.Want to know more about how to conquer stress and prevent it from taking over your weight loss and weight management journey?
