Control
Hey Folks!
Just a little tip:
If you have a problem with portion control just eat children’s portions! If you’re going out & serious about losing weight then order off the kid’s menu/meals and It will help for the beginning stages of learning your own control! Good Luck :)

Hey Everyone!
Just a quick update, I’m still not drinking sodas and it’s been MONTHS! I’m so happy! It’s been one full week now since I’ve given up red meat as well. I’m trying to be the healthiest I can! So, here is to fish, chicken, turkey and all the other goodies like fruits&veggies! :)
I’m staying strong and you all can stay strong too! Just set your mind to it!
Sending my love out,
Ayla <3
Hey all!
So, here we have Chicken Katsu! What an amazing treat this is at L&L Hawaiian BBQ and not only that, but it’s only $4.99! Great deal for a full meal! They also have other dining options, but of course, I highly recommend anyone trying the Chicken Katsu at least one time!
We wanted to share this great deal and hope that you take adventage! Thanks for reading! :)

Updates!
Hi Everyone!
So, I’ve begun a new job that I love so far with MGM resorts! Now that I feel more settled in here, I realized I need to keep up with all of you! :)
Now, it’s time to let you know that I have successfully completed the first month of the insanity workout! I’ve been sore all month, but I’ve seen great results! I heard that month two is like going to bootcamp. Haha! So, I will have to keep on keeping everyone posted and I will post results when the program is complete!
Also, I’ve been successful about not drinking any sodas for MONTHS now! I tried a sip of Coca-Cola a few days ago. Not only did it burn, but it tasted like carbonated flat soda mixed with syrup! :)
Anyway, thanks for reading everyone and stay healthy and find something that motivates you! Best of luck!

A New Start!
Ok Folks,
So I did finish my detox/cleanse and I didn’t stick with the right foods as much as I wanted to. haha! My advice, try a detox/cleanse some other time than the holidays! But, even so, my results were great! I’m still the same weight as when I began but I lost 20% of my body fat and gained muscle! I’m so very pleased! So, now that book is closed and it’s time to open another!
Today, Dezi and I are going to begin the Insanity work out and document our results! It’s a 2 month process so we will keep you posted! In the meantime, we hope you all are having a successful year so far!

Busy busy bees
Sorry it’s been a while since we’ve posted, but we have some good news to announce!
Ayla and I are finally roommates once again! After a long and exciting journey from Denver to Desert as she likes to call it, Ayla and her boyfriend David have made it safely to live with me here in Las Vegas!
With all that’s been going on, we both have forgotten to create any posts on our tumblr. Things are going great in our new house! Everything is coming along nicely and I can’t even begin to express the feel of accomplishment that this venture has brought us.
Now that we are back together again, we hope to bring you lots of inspiring ideas, creative crafts and motivational memoirs!
Have an excellent day no matter what you may be doing!
-Dezi
HAPPY NYE!!!
What are your resolutions? I believe it’s always motivational to write down your goals and as you achieve each one, check it off your list! Also, claim that your goal is going to happen, don’t HOPE, just DO!
This year I will:
- Move to Vegas
- Visit California as much as possible
- Do the INSANITY work out and join a Gym (with a pool ;))
- Finish writing more music and create a DEMO CD
- Upload more YouTube videos of me singing & create some short films
- Do a photo shoot when I reach my goal weight (This keeps me motivated)
- Keep only the friends that care about me and stop going down one way streets
Now, I want to hear from all of you, inspire me! =)
Also, be safe tonight!
Love, Ayla xoxo
Wax!
So, today I wanted to write something short & simple!
I’ve been packing up for the big move to Vegas (which is in a week) and I needed to get the tart out of my burner today, you know by Yankee Candle! So, instead of trying to pry it out or scrape it out, I went to put it in the freezer for about an hour or so and when I went to get it out, the tart had come out all on its own! It’s such a simple tactic! It works for all candles and wax as well! If you want to try to pluck out wax from a vase or holder you like, but can’t, stick it in the freezer or a good hour! It should come right out or push right out! BAM! Your holder is free of any residue and the wax/tart is gone! Good as new :)
I hope this is a simple yet helpful tip!
Enjoy your day!
-Ayla
Hope Everyone Had an Amazing Day!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! :)
Being happy is a choice!

Joie de vivre…Or should I say 生きる喜び
Traditionally when one thinks of a crepe, they imagine a little cafe in Paris where the crepe is filled either with savory flavors or delectable fresh fruits wrapped in something that resembles a thin pancake which is typically eaten with a fork and knife. This is not the case at the Crepe Shack and Waffles.
This small gem on the East side of town where St. Rose and Eastern meet is probably one of my all time favorite places to grab a unique dessert. You have your choice of toppings, and they have tons of specialty flavor combinations already created or you can choose your own. Some of my favorites include the rebel special which pairs strawberries with banana and Nutella, Apple a la Mode which is basically like apple pie heaven and the Camp Out Smore which features classics of the American favorite-Chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker.
My favorite, the Rebel Special:
The best part is, these delicious creations are served with ice cream in a “Japanese Style” crepe. What is that? Basically, it’s like a French crepe but a little thicker. They wrap it up almost like an ice cream cone and then it’s yours to enjoy. For those of you who don’t like the crepe idea, they offer all of these flavors and more as toppings on a waffle as well.
Apple ala Mode on a Waffle:
By far, Crepe Shack and Waffles is one of the best places you can go to find a fresh, delicious and unique dessert experience in Las Vegas!

After Day 1 Detox
So, yesterday was my first day on the cleanse and I must say it was a little bit much for me because I have never done a detox! I felt a little feverish for a bit and everything was exiting my body, but today I woke up feeling like a new person, ALREADY!
I’m very excited for the next 12 days of this process because of the difference I feel in just one day! I’ll keep you all posted as time progresses but for now, thanks for reading!
Oh… and by the way…
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!!! :)
-Ayla
Hiiii everyone!
So, today I started on this detox/cleanse! This is my first body cleanse I’ve done so I thought I would report back as the two weeks progress and let you know how the finished product turns out!
Here is to experimentation! Yay! :)
