                <p>It’s a devastatingly horrific scene anytime you turn on the news or check the news online. Houston Texas and surrounding cities, most recently Port Arthur, are under water and the catastrophic Hurricane Harvey seems to still be wreaking havoc to anything and anyone in it’s path. And with rescue efforts in full force, round the clock, there is no shortage of organizations posting links to their sites to encourage people to volunteer, donate and organize food and clothing drives in their local communities. But which one is the best or most effective to actually help the families, animals included, in Texas? I have spent the better part of the afternoon looking up several articles and organizations and have found some great sites. But this one article is on point. Here are the best ways to help Texas recover from Hurricane Harvey!</p> <p>While scrolling on Insta, I came across a post on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amypoehlersmartgirls/">@AmyPoehlersmartgirls</a>. This pic below broke my heart and also made me so happy that people are making sure to take great care of their fur babies. The link in her bio points to an <a href="http://www.chron.com/news/houston-weather/hurricaneharvey/article/Hurricane-Harvey-How-to-help-victims-of-the-12003372.php?utm_medium=email&utm_source=onward&utm_content=2 - collecting ways to help&utm_campaign=hh&source=hh">article from the Houston Chronicle</a> and lists a ton of local Houston organizations that you can donate to, no matter what part of the world you are located in! There are joint efforts being made by several celebrities and SO many of the posts are pointing to <a href="http://www.chron.com/news/houston-weather/hurricaneharvey/article/Hurricane-Harvey-How-to-help-victims-of-the-12003372.php?utm_medium=email&utm_source=onward&utm_content=2 - collecting ways to help&utm_campaign=hh&source=hh">this article</a> because of how much awesome information it contains. There is no way you can’t find some small or big way to help out guys and gals, even if all you can donate is $5- ANYTHING HELPS! I loved this post so much that I reposted it to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/burgandiphoenix/">my instagram page</a> & pasted the link to the article in my bio.</p> <a href="https://i2.wp.com/myfeistylife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Screen-Shot-2017-08-30-at-7.14.19-PM.png">

Houston Texas and surrounding cities, most recently Port Arthur, are under water and the catastrophic Hurricane Harvey seems to still be wreaking havoc to anything and anyone in it\u2019s path. And with rescue efforts in full force, round the clock, there is no shortage of organizations posting links to their sites to encourage people to volunteer, donate and organize food and clothing drives in their local communities. But which one is the best or most effective to actually help the families, animals included, in Texas? I have spent the better part of the afternoon looking up several articles and organizations and have found some great sites. But this one article is on point. Here are the best ways to help Texas recover from Hurricane Harvey! While scrolling on Insta, I came across a post on @AmyPoehlersmartgirls. This pic below broke my heart and also made me so happy that people are making sure to take great care of their fur babies. The link in her bio points to an article from the Houston Chronicle and lists a ton of local Houston organizations that you can donate to, no matter what part of the world you are located in! There are joint efforts being made by several celebrities and SO many of the posts are pointing to this article because of how much awesome information it contains. There is no way you can\u2019t find some small or big way to help out guys and gals, even if all you can donate is $5- ANYTHING HELPS! I loved this post so much that I reposted it to my instagram page \u0026 pasted the link to the article in my bio.  Photo Courtesy of @amypoehlersmartgirls via Joe Raedle\/Getty  You can also take it from Chiquita Bonita aka @mividachola. She found another site called Team Rubicon which is also a great organization that is helping to #giveback to the people of Texas. Check out her video asking for your help below!      The point is to help and give back, regardless of the way you choose to do it. Just PLEASE do it! Please comment below with any organizations you think are awesome and deserve some notoriety!

At the end of January, I decided after being told about a billion times to cut my hair, to finally bite the bullet and chop 6 inches off. It was brought up several times to me, just in the month of December alone, that it was too long and distracting, for film, tv, and commercials. And while everyone has an opinion and you all know the saying, opinions are like- ok, you get my drift, I did it. NOT only because I kept hearing this from casting and people in various parts of the industry, but because, I realized that maybe after 7 years of not cutting it more than just an inch or so, that maybe the Universe was trying to tell me something. Maybe it wasn\u2019t a bad idea- it\u2019s not like it won\u2019t grow back- thankfully, my hair grows like a weed (#blessed), so what was I so afraid of? Well for starters, I didn\u2019t realize how much my hair had become like my built-in security blanket; a place for me to hide within it\u2019s many thick layers and feel comforted by its weight- sort of like one of those therapy blankets with actual weights in it. Yeah- like that. It also became my identity and how most people recognized me- \u201cBurgandi, you know, the one with the super long hair?\u201d. And all of you Latina\u2019s out there know that our hair is very much a part of our culture- in my house, having long hair went hand in hand with wearing earrings 24-7. I remember telling my mom I was going to cut it and her reply was, \u201cNOOOOOOO, it looks so pretty long, just trim it mija!\u201d It was also a topic of conversation anytime I met someone and if I had $1 for every person who asked me where I bought my extensions\u2026I would be able to pay off my car. Speaking of that, I might be a little bit of a smart ass, so when someone asks where I get my extensions, I always reply, \u201cFrom God\u201d. I swear people look at me and almost everytime ask, \u201cGod? Where is that??\u201d L O L! Some people are not always the sharpest tools in the shed, amiright?! So anywho, back to my hair. Being that it\u2019s 2018, I decided that this year, more than any year that came before, that I was going to do anything that scared me. Yeah, so about that\u2026.. I am terrified. BUT I also feel pretty AWESOME. Getting out of my comfort zone is somewhat of an addiction of mine and the biggest reason I have learned so much and grown tremendously. So, first up, cutting the umbilical cord that is my hair! Being in Los Angeles, there are about a million \u201chigh-end\u201d salons to choose from. But don\u2019t let the facade of a boojie looking space, fool you. When it comes to my locks, especially because I am a Latina\/Native American woman with insane curls and frizzy texture, (think Chaka Khan) and enough hair for an entire tribe, (I am not exaggerating), I do not mess around! Hence, the reason, I will only go to one place to get my hair-apy- the Ken Paves Salon!  Photo Credit: Lee Cherry @leecherry  Owned by the talented man himself, Ken Paves and his bad-ass lady-boss partners, Britt Stevens \u0026 Jillian Cherry, this team is definitely on point- not to mention G O R G E O U S!!!  Jillian Cherry \u0026 Britt Stevens  The new space on La Cienega is not only absolutely B E A U T I F U L, but it\u2019s upscale, chic, design and classy vibe both inside and out in the dream-like courtyard, will have you forgetting all about the hustle and bustle of life in LA.  Stunning Courtyard  I have been going to the Ken Paves Salon for years, and I honestly can say there was never one time I left there unhappy or unsatisfied. My hair looks as good as it does because of this place and its amazing stylists and I can\u2019t recommend them enough! I walked in and was greeted by Jillian, who is so nice \u0026 accommodating, all the while, multi-tasking like a champ! #ladyboss. A few minutes passed and Britt came out. She is always a positive beam of light and one of her many talents is making you feel safe and cozy in her chair. Within minutes, she had me feeling at ease about such a drastic cut- well, drastic for me anyway! She listened to everything I said about the type of cut and walked me through each step, leaving no detail out. I felt so good about my decision, that I didn\u2019t even drink the wine I was sure I needed\u2026.wow, she is really great at what she does! After a shampoo, blow-dry and straighten, my hair was ready to be cut.  Looking back, I was so nervous, that I forgot to ask someone to take a pic or vid of the actual first cut, but if I had to describe it, it felt like inches of baggage was being lopped off and my head actually felt much lighter. It seemed like it all happened so fast and before I knew it, Britt said I was done! Drumroll please\u2026\u2026.  I LOVE it! I couldn\u2019t believe how bouncy and beautiful it looked and it felt so soft and light- and when I saw the before pic, I was surprised at how drab my super long hair looked! Wow- I needed this cut more than I knew and for so many reasons and I couldn\u2019t be happier! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Britt!!! You can check Britt out and follow her here on her Insta page: @lookbystevens\u2013 also, be sure to follow @jillianbcherry and of course, @kenpavessalon! AND, for all of you men out there that love a good barber, they just opened up a super sexy barber shop, on site! (Call Jillian for more info.) In conclusion, if you\u2019re thinking about making a change to your look, do yourself a favor and call the Ken Paves Salon. You and your hair will be in the best of hands and you will be SO happy with the results.  I\u2019d love to hear from you locas y locos! What are some new things you\u2019re trying this year? Comment below and subscribe to stay tuned because this is going to be a fabulous year full of surrender!  Hay Dios Mio.

Christmas came and went and a brand spanking NEW YEAR has arrived! (Panic slowly starts to seep in) Me: Wait\u2026.whaaat!? HOW THE HELL IS IT January of 2018!?!? Inner critic:\u201dYes, that\u2019s right Burgandi, you don\u2019t have EVERYTHING done that you wanted to do in 2017 yet 2018 has swooped in and dominated us ALL! You haven\u2019t put a plan of action into place for the New Year- like updating your website, making sure your brand is on point, putting ALL of your new headshots up on LA Casting, (now that so many people made the switch from Actors Access\u2026 oi vey), and EVERY OTHER CASTING SITE, finish writing the 12 projects that I\u2019ve been putting off all year, updating your reel, land new representation before pilot season, etc, etc, etc AND let me guess, you have no idea where to start?!\u201d Me: Sound of a rapid, echoing heartbeat and then a long beeeeeeeeeep sound\u2026.. \u201cI\u2019m dea\u2026.\u201d OK, OK, I\u2019ll stop with the exaggerated dramatic effects\u2026but in all seriousness, that\u2019s what it really feels like to me! NOT FUN. What about all of you? Does this sound familiar? Can you relate or do you know someone who can? Do you feel like every year you are rushing and hustling and doing everything and then some to keep yourself sane and not broke af? You are taking classes and workshops, taking yet another headshot session (or sessions), self-submitting, networking and auditioning like crazy, (or at least would like to be), but it feels like everything you\u2019re doing is never good enough? YOU ARE NOT ALONE. WE ALL GO THROUGH THIS. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US. Actors, Writers, Directors- ALL OF US. This state of being was me to a capital T, EVERY YEAR- except for this year, that is. What changed? Simply put, I did. Well, I wouldn\u2019t say \u201cchanged\u201d, I guess I would say re-aligned, shifted, re-adjusted and re-vamped! I decided to be the captain of my own imperfect ship and I freaking took charge! Arg! (Yes that\u2019s the sound a pirate makes, but you get my point!) I decided to look back on the (INSANE) year known as 2017, and reflect on the positive AND the negative, but to hyper-focus on the way the positive made me feel- which turns out to be like kryptonite to that negative critic! In 2017, I wrote my first short film, I booked 2 awesome spots on Conan, (see them here) I did a bunch of VO work, I auditioned A LOT, I gained across the board representation (and then followed my gut and parted ways with ALL of my representation), I took 3 new head shot sessions, (YES 3!), I lost several people I love to the angel of death, lost some \u201cfriends\u201d when I decided to no longer dim my light to make them feel better about themselves. I traveled to new places, tried lots of new things, re-connected with true friends and classmates and celebrated one year of the creation of my favorite loca, Chiquita Bonita. I started yoga again and fell in love with it AND dance all over again. And even with all of the hustle and bustle and constantly putting myself out there, I realized that I actually booked WAY less in 2017, than in any other year. This past year has definitely been one of the toughest years of Mi Vida Loca, here in Los Angeles hands down and I am happy to be moving past it! BUT, it\u2019s also the most I have ever grown- like, E V E R! This past year reminded me to take care of me, it reminded me of my strength, my courage, my vulnerability, my joy, my pain- you name it, I faced all of me, and as I\u2019ve mentioned before, that \u2018ish is NOT pretty. The lessons I learned in 2017 are invaluable and I am grateful for all of the beautiful misery I went through. This thing called life is not for the faint of heart, that\u2019s for damn sure! BUT WE SHALL ALL PERSEVERE! Alright, well, that\u2019s more than enough about me, now it\u2019s time to talk about the 3 super awesome entertainment industry tools that if you don\u2019t already have, YOU NEED TO GET THEM NOW!

Not only do they allow you to connect and network with other people in the entertainment industry, but it also allows you to take workshops with industry pro\u2019s, (via the interwebs), on every subject from film production to distribution, screenplay writing and SO SO SO much more. My favorite thing about this is that I can connect and chat with everyone and meet a ton of people I\u2019ve never met before every weekend, in their Introduce Yourself Lounge! I\u2019ve met some great folks and really applaud them and how far they have come over the last several years! I personally use the free App but I created my page via the desktop version of their site on my laptop. This is a must-have, in my opinion, because truth be told, as much as I love FB groups, I totally prefer the way that Stage32 encourages everyone to mix, mingle and get to know one another. It\u2019s a very comfortable online environment where creatives are encouraging and nice\u2026imagine that! AND you can even copy\/paste your Stage 32 link into your talentboom page!

If you\u2019ve never been to something like this and you LOVE health and fitness, like I do, you NEED to check it out! It\u2019s like Disneyland for health nuts, so naturally, I was in heaven.  I felt like I had walked into a gym the size of a convention center\u2026.oh wait, that\u2019s exactly what I had done. This place was full to the brim with gigantic dudes and ladies lifting weights, doing insane tricks on bars, guys doing push-ups and one strong man even lifted me above his head\u2026which was terrifying and I don\u2019t recommend it- unless the guy is Thor.  This was such a fun experience- I had never been to the Fit Expo before, although living in LA LA land, I\u2019ve heard PLENTY about it! And while there were SO many awesome products, there were a select few that definitely stuck out to me.  One of my most favorite products is definitely ONYX Black Fermented Garlic!!! I LOVE garlic in general so when I saw the booth I went to try some immediately. It has a ton of anti-oxidant and probiotic properties and is considered a superfood! It is naturally fermented for 4 weeks and contains 3x the amount of Amino Acids because of the fermentation process. They sell cloves of it, full bulbs and even a paste that can be used as a vegan bullion base! It has this sweet, chewy texture, like a garlic gummy but with none of the sugar or gelatin that gummy\u2019s have. I had a serious belly ache from something I had eaten earlier and the woman at the booth told me this would help. The woman we talked to, Elke Heitmeyer, was so knowledgeable- she gave us lots to try and within an hour my belly felt much much better! If you haven\u2019t tried anything like this, or you\u2019ve been wanting to try it, I highly recommend it! For more information, email Elke at info@scenariointernational.net  and tell her I sent you! Another is this amazing company called Lakanko! They make zero calorie sweetener from Monkfruit. Yup, that\u2019s right!  I met Brett when we walked up to the booth and he told us all about the product. I have to admit, I was so busy gulping down their Matcha \u0026 Chocolate probiotic drink, that I didn\u2019t really hear anything except Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free! SOLD!  They are SO good! They also have a low carb, gluten-free pancake, and waffle mix and a monk fruit powdered sugar, monk fruit sugar substitute, maple syrup and lots more!

These bit-sized banana bites are SO FREAKING GOOD!!!!! You guys- FOR. REAL. I can eat an entire bag in one sitting\u2026.and have\u2026more than 5 times. #Yolo right? (Is yolo even still a thing?) Any-who, as I was saying, BARNANA!

These two words, hold so much power right now and I for one am so thankful that women are speaking up around the globe. I have hesitated to write publicly about my experiences with sexual abuse, assault, and harassment because there is this deep-rooted fear that I have managed to cover up the majority of my life. The fear that by admitting that I have experienced this more than once, and at times was silenced or too afraid to speak out, means I am putting myself out there to be ridiculed and judged, or even being accused of lying. I had managed, up until a few years ago, to deal with all of the emotions that were associated with my experiences pushing them down and away as often as I needed to, whenever they decided to bubble up and interfere with my life. This numbing out, cover it up with humor, trigger personality trait that I learned at a very young age, would both serve me and hinder me from really dealing with what I went through, throughout my life. And although it seems obvious that I am not the only one who has ever experienced this, for the first time, I know I am not alone. I was on the phone with my brother the other day and we were talking about all things Hollywood, political and just life in general. He brought up everything going on with Harvey Weinstein and as we spoke, I found myself recounting, out loud for the first time ever, all of the times that I had experienced an inappropriate situation. From former bosses in my hometown to men in the industry here in Los Angeles. I felt like I was having some sort of out-of-body experience as I was talking because I had not really wanted to remember the details of most of these things until we started to talk and then it was like the floodgates were released. Holy shit. Why didn\u2019t I do or say anything about all of these gross encounters? I immediately changed the subject when I felt this sick, hot lava feeling from head to toe and being the supportive big brother that he is, he encouraged me to write about it so here I am. After we got off the phone, I felt so small, so weak and just overall gross. I cried and got really angry, read through more horror stories of women coming forward, cried for them and basically spiraled into this deep, dark rabbit hole of\u2026I have no idea how to even put it into words. I blamed myself, tried to think of ways I could have prevented it and let\u2019s just say it was a very ugly place to dwell in. This took a few LONG days to sort out and with the help of Lola, (my fur baby), Yoga, A LOT of tears shed, prayer and much-needed alone time, I took several deep breaths and replaced that guilt with power. It was time to speak the F up. The first time I was violated was when I was 5 years old. So as many of you reading this who have gone through something similar knows, sexual abuse at that young of an age molds and shapes you in ways that you sometimes won\u2019t discover until years later. In my case, it also gave me a very confusing, tainted barometer of what trust was, how relationships were supposed to be \u201cbuilt\u201d within my family and outside of it with the same and the opposite sex. I had a hard time defining what was \u201cwrong\u201d and \u201cright\u201d in certain situations, for many years, especially when it came to men. As a teenager, I worked for a small company in Arizona. My boss one afternoon, who was known to talk about the most inappropriate things almost anytime he opened his disgusting mouth, asked me to file paperwork in his office. I was crouched over with my back facing away from him, on purpose, when all of a sudden he got up from his chair and put his hands on my hips tightly and pulled me down on his lap. He was holding me tightly and telling me things like, \u201cIt\u2019s cool that you\u2019re not super hot and just average because you\u2019re more approachable\u201d I remember being startled, scared, VERY uncomfortable and I tried to pull away while laughing because that\u2019s one of the traits I learned as a little girl. \u201cLaugh through everything so you don\u2019t break down and cry, don\u2019t let them see you cry,\u201d I repeated this to myself in the mirror and in my head when anything was out of my control and always in a situation such as this one. I finally pulled away and was encouraged by my boyfriend at the time to tell the owner of the company. So I did. The owner paid me a visit at my apartment after I refused to return to work, at which time he smirked and asked to tell him what happened. While I told him, I started to cry and he actually laughed, rolled his eyes and said, \u201cLook, I understand that he made you feel uncomfortable and I have had a long talk with him already. This won\u2019t happen again. But, before you talk about it being sexual harassment and involve anyone else, I think you should know that it won\u2019t look very good for you.\u201d \u201cOk, what are you talking about, he clearly is the one in the wrong!\u201d I cried, \u201cYes, he is but he also told me that you guys talked about inappropriate things\u2026.\u201d \u201cYEAH, HE DID and whenever we were alone at the office HE talked about the most disgusting things and unless I talk to him he won\u2019t leave me alone! So YEAH I did \u201ctalk\u201d to him about things I shouldn\u2019t have the last few days before he put his hands on me but I didn\u2019t feel like I had a choice! He would corner me or stand by the door in his office so I would laugh at his jokes or answer yes or no to his questions just to satisfy his sick twisted mind so I could go back to work and get the hell out of there!\u201d He then told me that he understood and that I just should not proceed forward with anything because I would just embarrass myself. And for some reason, I believed him and didn\u2019t ever talk about it again. I quit that job and soon after moved away, promising myself that would NEVER happen to me again! I moved on with my life and I wish I could say the experiences ended there. But they didn\u2019t. Moving to LA opened up a whole different experience for me. An experience where manipulation by those in certain positions caused me to let my guard down and the promise of \u201cworking in film \u0026 TV\u201d clouded my common sense. When I first moved here, I had a meeting at a directors office, in which he mentioned how beautiful I was over and over and who I caught staring at my ass and tits much more than my eyes. He told me over and over \u201cwhat a great look you have!\u201d or \u201cI have some films coming up I would love to put you in them!\u201d I stupidly agreed to go with him to an event he invited me to, as long as I could meet him there and bring a friend but that was not what he had in mind. He switched almost instantly and angrily refused to give me the address and said unless I went in the same car with him and came alone, he didn\u2019t want to take me. So I told him thanks but NO thanks. He sent me a text message saying something along the lines of, \u201cyou need to change this type of thinking if you ever want to work on anything worthwhile.\u201d. Or something like that. I haven\u2019t spoken to him since. Once I met an old as rocks casting director who called me \u201cbaby\u201d among other pet names and tried to hug and kiss me anytime I saw him, regardless of my boyfriend and\/or friends always being present. Even his female friend told him to back off more than once and apologized to me and other girls in the room saying he was \u201can old dog\u201d and he \u201cneeded to learn to control himself\u201d. After a few times of that happening, that was where that short-lived relationship ended. And unfortunately, there were several others in-between with other men in the industry. A professional photographer \u201cfriend\u201d who I trusted to no end and who I had known for several years agreed to take some head shots and a few artsy editorial print shots for me. The editorial photos, which were on the more risqu\u00e9 side, took me a long time to muster up the courage to do but he was a true pro, or so I thought. He ended the shoot by asking if he could kiss me because I was \u201cjust so beautiful\u201d as I was laying in only underwear. I declined and moved away grabbing my clothing and when he didn\u2019t move, I laughed uncomfortably and told him he could kiss me on the cheek. All of this after he handed me a glass of wine, just in case I needed to \u201cloosen up\u201d upon arriving. I quickly gathered my things and left. YES, I KNOW. There were several red flags but again, I trusted him and like many others, I went into a professional situation and didn\u2019t know how to get myself out. My decision to take photos is NOT an invitation to be harassed, assaulted or violated! These situations all had one thing in common; they all started on this high note of professionalism and all ended with this gross manipulation. And then there was Harvey Weinstein. I met him not because he invited me to his hotel for a meeting, but at the Cannes Film Festival in 2013. We were at one of the major hotels on the strip in the lounge having cocktails after a screening. A guy friend of mine dared me to go and talk to him and give him my card. I am always up for a dare and being that we had some cocktails in our belly\u2019s, I was braver than ever. Let me just say, I had NO clue who he was\u2026as in zero. Now, OF COURSE, I had heard of his company and of him, but I didn\u2019t know what the hell he looked like and\/or what his reputation was. But sadly after taking his dare, it took me all of 3 seconds to see exactly what his M.O. was. He was a pig. From the get-go. He was very obviously starting at every female who walked by him, as I stood there waiting for a drink as if they were all there for his amusement. He looked me up and down and asked what I did. It was a very casual conversation and he commented on my name, said I had a unique look\u2026blah, blah, blah. I found my way back to my friend and we left. My friend told me after this happened that he was not surprised because he had heard he was a complete pig. Things I would have loved to know BEFORE I walked up to him. My last experience with him was the next night when I walked up to the concierge at that same hotel, asking where the restroom was, he happened to be standing nearby and offered to show me where it was, mentioning he was staying at that hotel. I declined and said something smart ass about the offer being below his pay grade and also saying that I was FULLY capable of taking myself. He smiled saying, \u201cOh, I like you!\u201d I didn\u2019t respond and hurried off to the girl\u2019s room. We left right after and I never saw him again. THANK GOD! On that same trip at an after party, another producer who I had met in LA \u201cnicely\u201d scooted over so I could share a seat, since they were all taken, only to move back right as I was sitting and I landed on his lap. He immediately put his hand on my leg moving it up and down and I looked at my friend laughing but terrified. I jumped up and his friend grabbed my ass in front of everyone. He stood up and told me that next time he invites me somewhere I am NOT allowed to bring a guy. I told him if he ever touched me again I would punch him in the throat..he laughed and said I was \u201ccute\u201d\u2026we left shortly after\u2026.that\u2019s the last time I spoke to them ever again. When I look back on certain situations I find similarities to those like Hilarie Burton who said she laughed so she didn\u2019t cry\u2026how often so many of us smile to mask the truth. I found myself beating myself up for backing down when I shouldn\u2019t have. I let fear guide me. This crippling fear is a major issue in today\u2019s society and WE MUST NOT REMAIN QUIET! If we all allow ourselves to be ruled by our fear the major issues, such as this one, that really need to have a spotlight shined on them, will remain dimly lit and those who were hurt and who are suffering will feel the need to remain silent. This has to stop. Not go away, STOP. To all of the people saying they\u2019ve never been a victim of this behavior and who are in some way, intentional or not, downplaying and discrediting all of the women who are brave enough to come forward. STOP. To those who think that if you \u201cprotect yourself\u201d or aren\u2019t \u201cthe hot girl\u201d and wear clothing that covers you up, you are not at risk, (SERIOUSLY?!) STOP. This type of predator does NOT discriminate if someone wants something badly enough and they have their mind made up that they are going to get it, WE ARE ALL an \u201ceasy target\u201d. I am so sad and very angry but amidst all of this, I am so proud and inspired by all of the women who have spoken out against this disgusting abusive behavior. To all of the women who have recently been deeply affected and who were abused by Harvey Weinstein and other men in power\u2026including the POTUS\u2026(WTF?!), YOU ALL are reminding us how important it is to speak up and not allow fear to silence us. You ALL are paving the way for CHANGE TO TAKE PLACE ONCE AND FOR ALL! THANK YOU for being brave enough to come forward and speak out, stand up and stand strong together. To the men who have NOT fallen into this category, THANK YOU for NOT being the majority and for supporting and respecting yourselves and ALL women, especially right now. I know there are still so many people who have not shared their stories and regardless if you decide to or not, know that you are NOT alone! Whether you are a man or a woman who has experienced something like this, YOUR VOICES MATTER! In the words of Babs, \u201cTo achieve change, we must speak up. Every voice is important.\u201d #TRUTH  Follow me on Bloglovin!

Hurricane Season isn\u2019t over yet! While Harvey, Irma, Jose have passed, 2 new storms named Maria and Lee are just getting started. It\u2019s insane to me how many hurricanes and tropical storms have gained momentum and destroyed so many cities in their paths! And, it seems like the second one is losing speed, another one is looming close behind. We are all heartbroken for the families and states that have been affected and as much as so many of us would like to help, front and center, a large majority of us are just not able to leave our homes, jobs and families right now. So, I started thinking about other ways for all of us could help out. A few weeks ago, I wrote an article with a list of local places to donate to in the Houston area after Irma hit, but since unfortunately so much more destruction has occurred since then, I felt compelled to write something that had links to nationwide organizations that I personally think need some serious support. So if you\u2019re looking for ways to help out and you can\u2019t be there in person, here are a list of 5 awesome organizations that are worth donating to. 1) Humane Society International: This organization is on the ground, rescuing abandoned pets and animals of all types, that have been mis-placed due to the storms. These amazing people are some serious hero\u2019s and if you\u2019re like me and love people more than animals, (sorry not sorry), send some love and money their way! 2) All Hands Volunteers works on damaged homes and removes debris from disaster areas. According to their website: All Hands is a US-based, 501(c)3 non-profit organization that addresses the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters by engaging and leveraging volunteers, partner organizations and local communities. To read all about the awesome things they do and stand for, click here. 3) Americares takes medicine and supplies to those in need. Especially after a major disaster, it\u2019s so important to get supplies to those who depend on insulin or oxygen etc. \u201cAmericares saves lives and improves health for people affected by poverty or disaster so they can reach their full potential.\u201d Click here to read all about them! 4) SBP a national disaster recovery nonprofit, will conduct damage assessment and help residents rebuild. \u201cWe shrink the time between disaster and recovery. We can\u2019t prevent natural disasters. But we can prevent some of the suffering they cause. By increasing resilience before disasters occur and streamlining the post-disaster recovery process, we\u2019re able to fortify people against unnecessary stress and trauma.\u201d To read all about this organization, click here. And last but certainly NOT least, an organization whose focus is worldwide, 5) UNICEF USA: \u201cUNICEF USA helps save and protect the world\u2019s most vulnerable children. Rated one of the best charities to donate to, 90% of every dollar spent goes directly to help children.Founded in 1946 to help children suffering in the aftermath of World War II, UNICEF provides children and families with disaster relief whenever emergencies strike. Every year, UNICEF responds to more than 250 emergencies\u2014from conflicts to natural disasters.\u201d THANK YOU TO ALL OF THESE WONDERFUL ORGANIZATIONS FOR ALL YOU DO! There are SO SO SO many more amazing organizations to give to, so if none of these resonate with you, that\u2019s ok choose one or several that do! BUT, before giving to just anyone who claims to want to help, check out Charity Navigator and enter the name(s) of the charity to see how they rate and most importantly, make sure you or someone you know isn\u2019t getting scammed! If you happen to come across any shady af organizations, report it by clicking here!

BUT TODAY WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE DAYS OK?!! SO you don\u2019t need to remind me what my beliefs are or what I preach on the almost daily! BACK OFF! (Taking a DEEP breath)\u2026Now, where was I. Ah yes, Today SUCKED. There, I said it. Yup. S-U-C-K-E-D. And not because of anything that happened in particular to me that was terrible, in the grand scheme of life, I would be lying if I said I wasn\u2019t BLESSED. BUT still WE ARE ALL ALLOWED TO HAVE BAD DAYS!!! And today, definitely was not the best day for me and I am sure, countless other American\u2019s around the nation. Today is September 11th, 2017 which marks 16 years that the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists. SO many innocent lives were lost and our lives were forever changed. I woke up this morning with this sick feeling in my belly\u2026usually it\u2019s because I ate way too many tortilla chips the night before but this was not the same feeling that I have grown to know all too well. This was deep\u2026I mean really deep and dark and angry. So much so, that I felt numb then I felt heavy and sad and then angry again and I just wanted to go back to bed and hide away from whatever these feelings were. I guess it didn\u2019t help that the last images I saw before bed, were of the World Trade Center in flames or pics of people plummeting to their deaths in the hopes to escape the burning building\u2026(f\u2019ing internet!) As I type this, it is the fist time I have actually cried about it and I can\u2019t even cry about it on the same level that I feel so overwhelmingly sad about it. You know that feeling when the feels are stuck in your chest, then your throat and you feel the ugly cry face happening, but nothing comes out? Well, I don\u2019t. This idea is foreign af to me I am an extremely sensitive and emotional girl and the fact that I\u2019ve been thinking about this all day and haven\u2019t cried is nothing short of a miracle. I can\u2019t help but wonder why this year, of all of the years since this tragedy happened, I am so deeply torn to pieces about it. Now, let me be clear. For months after it happened I remember being really scared. I couldn\u2019t sleep, I was terrified to fly, even more than I was before and scared to travel in general, even by car. It shifted this enormous fear mongering monster, that lay dormant and shaped my childhood into something that I still can\u2019t define as anything other than paranoid, shaken, frightened and extremely tense. On that day in 2001, I \u201cgrew up\u201d years in a matter of hours and those images will forever be burned in my brain as they will be in all of our minds and history, until the end of time. I had never been to NYC at that point in my life and I remember the thought that I\u2019d never get a chance to visit that beautiful city I\u2019d hoped to live and work in one day was very real. What if the terrorists found a way to eliminate the east coast, the U.S.- THE WORLD?!?! From the images on TV and every news channel that seemed to be broadcasting 24-7 it seemed like we were all watching a terrible action movie over and over and over\u2026.there was no hope in site and the world appeared extremely gloomy to me for the first time in my life. Fast forward to the time a few years ago, when I met a very creative man from NYC. An awesome and talented man with tons of spirit, who lived life to the fullest, everyday. He told me that he was there when it all went down. That he lost friends in the World Trade Center. That he was aimlessly running through the streets covered in ash and had to be aware of bodies coming out of the sky above him like rain. He said he went to years of therapy but he could still feel it, taste it, smell it, and see it every time he closed his eyes, like it had just happened and continued to loop in his mind non-stop. He told me that only after almost 12 years of speaking to his therapist, did he have the courage to talk about it to anyone even his close friends and family were hearing his story for the first time ever. It was heartbreaking, to say the least. This man was inspiring, strong courageous, beautiful and deeply affected but one thing he was NOT, was broken. I could only begin to imagine what he or anyone went through that day and even then, it was nothing in comparison, I am sure. It\u2019s people like him and other countless stories and images that remind me of how life short truly is. It also reminds me that my \u201cdeep emotional anxiety\u201d that I\u2019ve associated, (created), with this day, is nowhere near what someone who experienced it first hand, lost loved ones or lived through that nightmare. I guess the most valuable thing that I\u2019ve discovered about today is the reason that I felt this way. I was pushing all of these thoughts and feelings away for years and this year, it finally hit me hard. The universe needed me to deal with myself completely, in more than 1 way so, I forced myself to push below the surface instead of just chalking it up to the fact I was PMS\u2019ing or something. Instead of pushing my feelings down and actually dealing with it, I went through them #feels and let the emotions be what they were, for the majority of the day. I have to admit, I do feel like some weight has been lifted\u2026emotions weigh more than we realize especially when we don\u2019t deal with them head on. So yeah, I didn\u2019t have a \u201cgood\u201d day, BUT I had a breakthrough day and I\u2019d rather have that kind of day, any day. Can I get an Amen? To everyone who lost someone, to all of those who\u2019ve suffered and still are, from the tragic happenings of that horrendous day, to the innocent lives lost and the devastation to our nation; thank you for your courage, your strength and your non-stop inspiration. May we always remember to rise above and join together with LOVE! Comment below with your story I\u2019d love to hear your thoughts and feelings.  Follow me on Bloglovin!

UM. TO PODCAST, amiright? Ok, well\u2026.unless you happen to come across a super scary podcast that talks about someone\u2019s evil plot to end the world\u2026um\u2026yeah, please stop. Any who, back to what I was saying. I LOVE a great podcast. Whether it be about a badass #ladyboss, health, fitness, real life stories, comedy, FOOD or the entertainment industry, I am always so much more motivated on my drive to an audition, set, yoga or most importantly, to eat, when I listen to one of these awesome pod-casts. I found a super cool one called She Means Business, which was recommended by Holly Gunns in her article on Career Girl Daily. Fun Fact: I am #obsessed with this site and oddly enough, MY DAD sent me an email saying he thought I\u2019d like it\u2026.he was so right! 10 points for my tech savvy Daddy-O! So what\u2019s my point with all this podcast chat? Well, if you read my last article on The Cinema After Dark Podcast, with the fabulous Max Cole, that I was stoked to have been part of a few months back, you\u2019d remember that we had such a great convo that my episode had to be split into 2 awesome parts! SO\u2026..without further ado, below is the link to Part 2 of The Cinema After Dark Podcast with Max Cole!  Please listen, like, share and comment below with your thoughts! And if you happened to miss part one, check out my article here to listen! Have a happy #humpday everyone and remember, YOU are all freaking awesome, for real. Thanks for reading!

Someone said to me yesterday, \u201cCan you believe Christmas is 5 months away!?\u201d\u2026.I immediately choked on my homemade organic, iced, coconut milk vanilla latte and said, \u201cWHAT?!?!?!\u201d It was then, that I blacked out and came to a few minutes later on my kitchen floor, only to realize that they were right\u2026.December is less than 5 months away!!!!!!! Ok, ok\u2026, so I might have added the fainting line for dramatic effect, BUT that\u2019s how it felt! Time is flying waaaay too fast! It\u2019s already the end of July and I am happy to say, it\u2019s only going to get busier from here. What do I mean by busier? Well, here are some great new things that happened to me this month! I got a new car- BUT before I go any further, let me start by saying, I got into a minor car accident in which my car was deemed a total loss, hence, the new wheels. I would have rather not have had an accident, duh, and I am SO thankful no one was hurt, but everything happens for a reason and in the end I was able to get something more economic for as much as I drive in this gigantic city AND I will save a ton of mula on gas, so I am stoked! Here\u2019s what I got! (*Special thanks to Aaron at Autoland USA, Partners FCU \u0026 Progressive for making this as painless as possible!*)2. I signed with a new and awesome theatrical agency, Aqua Talent! I can\u2019t tell you all how excited I am to work with them and with Courtney Peldon! Great things ahead! Stay tuned for updates! #werk http:\/\/myfeistylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_4171.mp4 3. I signed with a new print agency Role Models Management! Super excited to work with these ladies and LOVE their philanthropic business model! I look forward to doing a new print photo shoot very soon. Be sure to follow my insta page for a sneak peek of those shots! 4. I was given the opportunity to audition for the ABC Showcase AND the CBS Sketch Showcase! I had so much fun creating, OH, and I LOVED the challenge of creating 5 unique characters in 2 minutes! I am so thankful and am very grateful to have been able to meet the fabulous casting folks at both networks! Here\u2019s a film still from one of the auditions I did. 5. I went back to class at Stuart Rogers Studios and was reminded how amazing this community of actors are and not to mention SO talented! Looking forward to class on Tuesday!6. I got to spend some much-needed time with my parents! We explored the city, took a day to go to Santa Barbara, went to a train exhibit, finally saw the Last Book Store and ate a lot of great food! I am so thankful for them both. They are great human beings. Their love, support and constant reminders that everything is going to be alright are beyond appreciated and of course, I am thankful they are honest with me and never hold anything back, regardless of how much I don\u2019t want to hear it. They have taught me so much about how to trust my gut and to forgive, always, despite the wrongdoing. I hate to admit it but you guys are right, way more than I realized until recently\u2026who knew\u2026and ps that is the ONLY time I am ever going to admit that.    All in all, this has really been a great month and so much more happened! 4th of July at the beach, Yoga in Malibu, I started writing my first short film and started a few new workout routines that are whipping me into serious shape! I also connected and re-connected with some cool af people who are beautiful inside and out! These creative peeps are such amazing artists who are encouraging and confident in their abilities. It\u2019s SO refreshing to be surrounded by kind, genuine artists whose talent in beyond inspiring. These people not only allow me to be my total and complete self but they contribute to our friendship and to society and their momentum is contagious. THANK YOU UNIVERSE- YES PLEASE! Kindness \u003EFlattery. Oh and on a side note, news flash people, THE WORLD DOES NOT ONLY REVOLVE AROUND YOU AND YOUR NEEDS! STOP THE TALKING AND START THE DOING! Hey, it\u2019s called my feisty life for a reason\u2026.. Comment below with all of the awesome things you\u2019ve been up to and tell me what your plans are this weekend!

Yikes. It\u2019s a nail biting time for anyone currently on a show and especially for the fans of said shows. On a side note, can I just say that I can\u2019t even believe it\u2019s the middle of MAY!?! Where the heck does time go??? Anywho, I digress. So, what was I talking about? Ah, yes, TV shows! Ahem, so as you can all imagine, when I finally saw the article on ET online, I stopped everything I was doing and prepared myself to accept whatever the network\/television God\u2019s had decided. I read as quickly as I could to see what was coming back and what was getting, gulp\u2026..cancelled. This is where I have to admit, I was not happy with some of the cancelled shows I was reading about and was sad to hear; OMG SCANDAL is ending?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Whhhyyyyy ABC? I can\u2019t tell you all how much I love this show\u2026Kerry Washington, you are extraordinarily talented and one of my #fav spirit animals\u2026.and Shonda Rhimes\u2026.one word, QUEEN. This entire cast is just\u2026.badass! You will be missed fo\u2019sho. So, on that note, here are a few of my fav\u2019s that are gracing us all with their presence, in order of my binge watching obsession. Numero Uno: THIS IS US on NBC Unless you have been living under a rock, you know and have watched, This is Us! This show is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G to put it lightly created and written by the creative word and producer God, Dan Fogelman. From the first episode, I was hooked and I think it\u2019s safe to say, we ALL were. This family friendly show is heartwarming \u0026 heartbreaking all at the same time and I can\u2019t think of one time that I\u2019ve watched, and didn\u2019t ugly cry. Not to mention, the ALL STAR cast of actors, Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz \u0026 Justin Hartley, just to name a few, which reel us all in and have us hanging on their every word, in every single episode. I get chills just thinking about it. SO freaking excited to see what Seasons 2 AND 3 hold! 3 cheers for this is us! Numero Dos: Lethal Weapon on Fox YOU GUYS- I LOVE this show SOOOO much! I am giddy AF that this is back for a 2nd season! First of all, I love, love, love, Damon Wayans and I\u2019ve developed a serious school girl crush on Clayne Crawford \u2013 that smile and that hair AND he\u2019s talented AF? Yes please. Add these men with the powerhouse, Keesha Sharp\u2026Yup- I\u2019m a fan fo\u2019 life! I can\u2019t wait to see the trouble that comes their way and what crazy high building Riggs jumps off of in Season 2. #riggsandmurtaughforever Numero Tres: Superstore on NBC AHHHH! I am SOOOO glad this show is back for a 3rd Season! It seems like only yesterday that I was watching the 1st episode and choking on my Non-GMO, organic popcorn, as I snorted with laughter! (Sadly, this is NOT an exaggeration.) I haven\u2019t seen one episode where I am not LMFAO-ing and who isn\u2019t? With all of the quick witty dry humor mixed with sarcasm AND sprinkled in moments of \u201cAWWWW\u201d, this show is one I binge on the regular. I also have MAD RESPECT for America Ferrera\u2013 this MAJOR #LadyBoss is all sorts of talented and the word inspiring is a huge understatement. Anyone who can be as gracefully strong-willed and determined, on and off-screen, AND do justice to and for all of the Ugly Betty\u2019s out there, the way she did is someone I definitely want to support! And let\u2019s not forget how hilarious everyone is, in their own awesome way, in this show!!!! I mean, Lauren Ash, Mark McKinney, Nichole Bloom, Ben Feldman \u0026 Colton Dunn, just to name a few, keep me laughing from beginning to end. Is it time for Season 3 yet?! Numero Cuatro: JANE THE VIRGIN on The CW Ok\u2026this is the one show that I have followed EVERY SINGLE episode of, as they aired, like it was my religion! I LOVE THIS SHOW! Gina Rodriguez is freaking phenomenal, to say the least. I remember going to the premiere of Filly Brown and she was mesmerizing to watch both on the big screen and in person. Her energy was contagious and her classy yet very confident attitude is something I will never forget. Ok, back to the show. I love the storyline in this show and how it is always changing, ever so slightly, yet manages to throw me for a total loop and make me second guess everything I think\/feel about the characters. Speaking of characters, these awesome actors, Jaime Camil, Ivonne Coll and Andrea Navedo, to name a few, are so unique yet, you, and by you I mean I, start to believe they are actually a family. Sigh, I live for a good telenovela\u2026 I am on the edge of my couch for Season 4! #JTV #ILY Numero Cinco: The Good Place on NBC OMG, I am SO forking happy that this forking show is coming back for a 2nd season!!! Besides that fact that I am a huge fan of Ted Danson \u0026 of course, the funny as h-e-l-l, Kristen Bell, this show seriously made me jump with excitement every time a new episode aired and then, it shocked the ish out of me, to find out where they were and let me tell you all, it\u2019s NOT what you think!!! Or at least it was not what I thought. These writers are gooood, really good. For real. There is definitely no other show that has both, made me want to eat frozen yogurt and want to be a better person, JIC there is a son of a bench, like Michael in the afterlife that wants to seriously fork with me! (Did I also mention I am OBSESSED with the fact that the curse words aren\u2019t curse words and that fork is probably my #fav?) I can hardly wait to see what is in store for everyone in season 2, no bullshirt, I think it\u2019s safe to say, we are all SO READY! Numero Seis: My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on The CW Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna YOU LADIES ARE THE SHIIIIZ! Holy crap, I don\u2019t even know where to begin. This is another one that I can\u2019t stop binge watching. And not only because it\u2019s extraordinarily different from anything on the airwaves, but I am a sucker for anything musical and this chic, and the majority of the fab cast, can sing their asses off! Plus, the choreo, the funny AF musical moments, that are SUPER unexpected sometimes, the sad af moments, (episode 213) and last but not least, the array of quirky characters like, Pete Gardner and Vella Lovell, they have my heart and loyalty! THANK GOD for creative peeps who are willing to step outside the box! Hallelujah for season #3! There are obviously more shows that I love, duh can anyone say The Goldberg\u2019s, Big Bang Theory, Black-ish, Fresh off the Boat (and pretty much anything on ABC) \u0026 LUCIFER on Fox?! A gigantic CONGRATS to ALL of the shows, casts and crews, that are coming back for another season! #RIP to the shows that didn\u2019t make the cut. I am so sad to see MANY of them, (2 Broke Girls, American Crime, Dr. Ken), disappear into the white noise. But hey, there are always re-runs and online streaming, RIGHT?! Onward we must go! I hope you all enjoyed reading my picks I\u2019d love to hear from you! What shows are you excited and\/or bummed about?!  The post Cancelled or renewed?

I HATE needles. I mean, H.A.T.E! When I have to get blood drawn, they still use a baby needle on me, lay me down, so I don\u2019t PTFO, (this has happened, sadly, more than one time), and give me a kids juice box, afterwards. Even after all of that accommodation, I still cry-EVERY TIME. So, as you can imagine, I an NOT a fan of any sort of facial and\/or body injection! ESPECIALLY one, that comes with the warning, \u201cThere is a small chance, your face could be paralyzed \u0026 your skin could malfunction, etc.\u201d UM, yeah, NOPE. I personally believe, that you can find other ways to keep your skin looking youthful and beautiful, until the time where YOU think, it\u2019s absolutely necessary, to do something more drastic. Trust, I am not saying I will never do anything, I might, when I am 50, want to, but until that time comes, many moons from now, I will do anything and everything I can to maintain healthy skin, without all of that hoop-la. Let me make it very clear, that I do not judge anyone who wants to do any sort of surgical or injectable procedure you do you boo\u2026.just stay the EFF away from me with that ish! You dig? I\u2019ll admit, not all things that involve a needle, are bad, in my book. I have had acupuncture and B12 shots and I find benefits in both. AND Fun fact: I did used to have several facial piercings, Yup, true story. (IT WAS A PHASE!) But honestly? Internally, I was kicking, screaming and crying, the entire time. Also, it\u2019s important to note, that I am SO blessed, to have been raised with a momma, (who btw has AMAZING skin and is past her 50\u2019s\u2026okaaayy), who taught me the importance of healthy eating, taking vitamins, drinking chlorophyl regularly and all natural skin care, from a very young age! Also, I was blessed to have friends like the amazing, MUA Raquel Grijalva, who made sure I invested in eye cream and did once a month facials, from age 18. #Spoiled Speaking of starting a skin regime, at a young age, I think, this is THE best way to ensure your skin will look fabulous, well into womanhood. It\u2019s because of this fact, that I personally believe, you can achieve gorg-glam-skin, without having to inject something, that could, in the end, leave you looking like Cruella Deville! #ScaryAF. So, without further ado, here are 5 things, I have found, that have worked wonders, for my Skin! 1) Rest. Get your zzz\u2019s y\u2019all! This is seriously, one of the best ways to rejuvenate your skin and body. On average, according to the National Sleep Foundation, young adults from the age of 18-25 and adults age, 26-64, need an average of 7-9 hours of sleep, every night. This is crucial for your body, in order to rejuvenate and repair. Truth? This is something I STRUGGLE with! I get more like, 5-7 on average but on the days I sleep in, and get my 8 hours, my skin does look and feel, much more plump and refreshed. I also use a certain pillow, that is shaped, to help prevent your skin from aging and getting sleep wrinkles, while you sleep, (this thing is awesome), as well as, I always use a silk pillowcase. But be sure to change it often, say 2-3 times a week, to prevent the oils from your head\/hair from irritating your face. I also try, to sleep on my back as often as possible and last but certainly not least, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, wash your face before you hit the hay! Leaving your makeup on overnight, is a sure-fire way to get breakouts and cause pre-mature aging, so don\u2019t do it. 2) Diet. You ARE what you eat! I cannot tell you how much, the way I eat, contributes to my skin. And not to mention, the badass vitamins I take. I am a little bit of a health nut\u2026.OK, I\u2019m A HUGE health nut and I am VERY sensitive, to certain foods. I don\u2019t eat: dairy, soy, gluten, refined sugar or meat. I do eat: Pasture farm eggs, wild caught fish, TONS of green veggies, beets, red seeded grapes, avocado\u2019s etc, oh, and\u2026 I LOVE tortilla chips! Now, I know fish is not always the healthiest because of mercury levels, radiation and even plastic, (STOP POLLUTING THE OCEANS\/PLANET PEOPLE!!), so I don\u2019t eat it very often but I do love sushi. And, I do love a good french fry and once in a LOOONNNNG while, will get a craving for something sweet, so I give in. There is no fun in depriving your body that much\u2026.live a little! Besides, everything in moderation, right? 3) H2ohhhhh HYDRATE YO\u2019Self! This seems pretty obvi, am I right? Our bodies are 60% water people, 75% in our muscles and 85% in our brains. SO, yeah. Agua is muy importante muchachos! I\u2019ve mentioned it before, I am a water obsessed, #waterjunkie, for real. I drink about a gallon a day and I only put one type of water into my petite bod, period. I take it restaurants when I go out to eat and have it on my person at ALL times. This is one of the reasons, I have people asking me what injections, I have had done, on my face. UM, no. So, what is this magic water, you ask? It\u2019s called\u2026(drum roll please\u2026) Kangen Water! And for me and COUNTLESS others, this ish seriously, CHANGED MY LIFE. NO- I am not just saying that because their slogan is \u201cChange your water, change your life.\u201d I am 150% telling you that before I was #blessed with my SD-501 machine, I needed Costco sized box of tissue, for all of my many issues. From skin breakouts, indigestion, bloating, hormone imbalance, back \u0026 neck pain and much more. This water is the cat\u2019s meow. It\u2019s alkaline water BUT, is full of antioxidants. (One 8 oz glass has about the same amount of antioxidants as, more than, 20 packs of blueberries!) Did you know, that like calcium needs \u0026 magnesium, alkaline properties need antioxidants, in order to be beneficial? Who knew? So not only am I hydrated, I am loading up on more antioxidants than ever, on the daily. And don\u2019t believe the hype of the \u201calkaline water\u201d in bottles at the store. It\u2019s impossible to keep an alkaline water in a clear, non bpa free, plastic bottle, without adding something like baking soda or some other chemical property. (Take a look at your bottled water\u2019s ingredients next time y\u2019all.) No thanks. I also use a 6.0 beauty water, to wash my face and spray on, thought the day. Now, in all honesty, a Kangen machine is not cheap, but it\u2019s also not impossible. Add up how much you are spending on water every month\u2026you\u2019ll be surprised at how expensive \u201cgood\u201d water is costing you. And also, the machine is a tax write-off, so that\u2019s pretty awesome. So seriously STOP wasting money and contributing to the mass pollution of plastic and consider investing in yourself. Treat yo\u2019 self guys and gals and help our skin look and feel like silk!  Photo by: Wayne Allen Photography  4) Skin care!!! I\u2019ve tried A LOT of different types of skin care and have spent tons of mula on the wrong products. But recently, I found a Gem! Aside from ALWAYS wearing sunscreen, the one that sticks out the MOST to me, is The Method by Lancer Skin Care. I have been using it for almost a year and YOU GUYS- this skin trio is magical AF!!! I have not only noticed a huge visible difference, but also the texture of my skin is the best it\u2019s been in years. For real. I use the one that is geared towards sensitive skin, because that\u2019s how I roll\u2026but they make 2 different types of The Method.  I heard about them through a friend and did my research. Not only is he located here in Beverly Hills, his clients include, Victoria \u0026 David Beckham, Reese Witherspoon, Rosamund Pike Chrissy Teigen and Marion Cotillard, just to name a few. No I\u2019m not name dropping\u2026ew\u2026I have a point. What does that mean to me? It means people who are constantly in the limelight trust him enough with their skin AND these beauties look so natural, it\u2019s cray cray. He has so many different products, from eye-creme, younger youth serum, to a mask with Apple stem cells, (VEGAN!) and even an intense brightening serum and much more. Now, I can\u2019t vouch for all of these products because I haven\u2019t tried them all\u2026Why? Because I\u2019m not made of money people..duh! Lancer is in no way inexpensive, but as I said before, it\u2019s also not impossible. But, it\u2019s definitely worth the try, I promise. Dr. Lancer even wrote a book called Younger and it addresses skin care \u0026 how to nourish your skin from the inside out. #Love I recently went into Nordstrom at The Grove and had a facial by a skin care specialist, who works at the Lancer skin care office. She gave me a treatment they do for a lot of their clients and also gave me some awesome info about the line. She did a mask called the younger revealing mask intense, (see below)\u2026 my skin is STILL glowing, so I bought the mask to have a home-well worth the mula. So, if you are looking for a regimen that actually works and will turn back time, on your face, you have to try Lancer Skincare. All you have to lose is a dull skin so, DO IT! (Click below to see a quick clip of me getting the Younger Revealing Mask treatment!)      5) Facials Pro \u0026 DIY! This one is just as important as the others. Regular facials (and by regular I mean at least once a month), will ensure that your skin is being properly pampered! By putting your skin in the hands of a professional, who is trained on facial massage techniques and assessing each individuals skin so that the perfect treatment can be done, your skin will look and feel healthier overall. And, combined with the other things you will be doing for your skin, this is a win-win. I usually only go to one place to get my facials because I know that I am getting the best treatments and I am not getting a sales pitch about all of the $5k treatments or injections they think I \u201cneed\u201d, when I go in. One thing that I really love, is that my facials are always different. I opt for the custom facial and the esthi will work her magic by doing, micro-derm abrasion, a peel, a mask or sometimes, all 3! Again, it\u2019s all dependent on my skin and how it\u2019s behaving or misbehaving, that day. I think it\u2019s very important that you don\u2019t just go in for a super hardcore treatment that you\u2019ve never done, just because you read about it somewhere or your friend had it done. There is no such thing, in my opinion, as one size fits all skin care- and that goes for facials too. Make sure you work with someone you feel comfortable with and feel like they really have your skin\u2019s best interests at hand. There is nothing worse than having someone who is not professional, seems like they are just there for a paycheck and\/or, makes you feel like you are not in the best of hands. This is your face, after all and I personally, don\u2019t take that ish lightly. Definitely do your research! You can also do some great DIY facials and masks, at home. What do I do on the regular? A: Raw, organic sugar scrubs: 1) Wash my face (at night I use a Clairsonic) 2) Take a bag of raw organic sugar, I buy mine at the dollar store, and put about 1-2 tablespoons in the palm of my hand (morning or night) 3) Mix it with a few drops of beauty water 4) Apply it to my already damp with beauty water face, in soft circular motions. Then I rinse with beauty water and moisturize! B: Honey\/Cinnamon Masks: I got this idea, from Dr. Oz\u2019s Website. I LOVE DR. OZ! Click here for the recipe and benefits. C: avocado masks (for my face and hair)- take 2 avocados, mash them up and slather on. If you have hyper-pigmentation, use a little bit of lemon. Leave on for 15-20 mins, rinse and viola! Soft, moisturized skin! D: Awesome Sheet Masks: I LOVE the line of masks that you can get at any Korean market or spa and my new #fav, are the sheet masks by Double Dare called OMG. They have a great line of masks (and even one for your hair), they are SUPER affordable and they still manage to use high quality ingredients! I have tried all of their masks and I am hooked. AND, they have these ADORBS headbands to keep your hair back, while masking! Check out the video I did below, of me using their 2 in 1 Detox Bubbling Microfiber Mask AND if you enter code: burgandiphoenix at checkout and save 20% on your order! But hurry, offer ends May 31st! #OMG you guys rock.

Yes, I had a couple of \u201cWelcome 2017!\u201d, glasses of champagne, so I was relaxed and feeling bubbly, but nevertheless, the thought came up and wouldn\u2019t go away, so I decided to listen to what I had to say. It was this little voice, (obvi a sober little voice), that suggested ever so slightly, \u201cHey, bet you can\u2019t stop drinking for 1 month\u2026\u201d Now, before anyone starts to wonder if I have some sort of drinking issue, OMG, let me stop your imaginations right there and say, I, of all people, would be waaayyy to paranoid to have a drinking problem. For real. I am scared to take ibuprofen, for god sakes and I am such a lightweight, 2 drinks is usually my limit. AND, not to mention, that I always have to eat, like a full blown feast, or I get super sick. So, yeah, my body won\u2019t tolerate it, sorry, not sorry, to dissapoint. Anywho, back to the point. I took the challenge that the little voice in my head suggested and figured, what the heck, how hard could this really be? I like trying new things \u0026 challenging myself as often as possible. So, I stopped drinking \u0026 cut out excess salt, on Jan. 1st, 2017-Feb 28th, 2017. OK, technically, on the last day of February, I had a few cups of Saki. Hey! Nobody\u2019s perfect. BUT, if you notice, I said FEBRUARY. Uh-huh\u2026I decided, after 1 month, to try one more, because I am a badass and an overachiever\u2026but, I digress. It was seriously, one of the best challenges that I\u2019ve ever done. First things first. This was HAARRRRDDDDD. Not impossible but harder than I would have ever thought! I eat SUPER clean, I drink the BEST water and, I am a health fanatic! But, this was a major detox, for me, and I didn\u2019t realize how \u201cdependent\u201d, in a social, habitual way, that I had become, on having a cocktail at dinner, or at a meeting or any day of the week, because a lot of peeps drink, daily, in LA! #truth Some things I noticed immediately? I was really emo, for the record, I am super emo and sensitive as a human being, and this was way more than normal. I felt a little like, that illustration with a black cloud over it\u2019s head, that followed them around wherever they went. I was moody and bitchy to Carlos, and wanted to stay in bed all day. I had a difficult time, at social events and around crowds of people, at first, because I usually get a drink, first thing, lol. What I realized, is that, those exciting nerves that I get when I am around a crowd of peeps I don\u2019t know, were just being numbed out, or I was able to force the feeling of being \u201crelaxed\u201d, by having a glass of wine. Without liquid courage, I had to go through all of those mixed emotions and live there, until I could figure out a way to chillax, sans vino. And it took a few events, in order for that to happen. But I did it! I found that just talking to others, LISTENING more than I talked, laughing and even dancing, brought out those same feeling of ease for me, so I made sure to talk, laugh, listen and dance the night away! I saw a huge shift in my body. I shed at least 5 lbs, and lost several inches around my waist and all over, really, and I got the urge, to work out, almost everyday. I had tons more energy, mostly because I got much better sleep. I did a 21 day fitness challenge, (I will post that article soon) and I discovered, that when I would get stressed out or feel upset about something, that there were some unhealthy habits that would come up. Say for instance, like eating a costco size bag of chips or grabbing an extra large michelada. (MMMMMM Chips \u0026 Micheladas). See\u2026.everyone has their vice(s). Also, since my B-Day is in March, I figured I would wait until then, to have my first official celebratory cocktail. So, when we had dinner in Santa Barbra, I had a super spicy margarita. YUM. It was so good! I didn\u2019t go overboard, but my body could handle 2 and I was D-O-N-E. So I just danced like no one was watching and then slept like a new born baby. I felt great the next day, mostly because I chugged my magic water that I brought from home. I was a little sleepy, because, the dancing, but had a great day. Now, if I\u2019m being completely honest, there was a time, shortly after my b-day that I went a little overboard\u2026and by little, I mean, A HELLUVA LOT. UGH. I totally over indulged. (face palm). I didn\u2019t eat enough had 2 margaritas, let someone talk me into a tequila shot and got so sick that I ugly cried, at a bar, ended up having to be driven home and let\u2019s just say, a 5 minute drive turned into 45 minutes, because the driver was nice enough to pull over every time I asked. Oi Vey\u2026.Yeah, that happened. I was that girl. And I swear, it took me a week to recover and I cried a lot that week\u2026.like a lot. But I overcame, kept myself hydrated and worked out the toxins by sweating and everyday, I felt like I was a little closer to feeling 100% again. NEVER. AGAIN. Bye Felicia! Bur seriously, I have to admit, I really love the way that I feel when I don\u2019t drink\u2026it\u2019s like this refreshed, super energetic (if you imagine me with more energy), version of myself that\u2019s ready to face anything, anytime. But don\u2019t get me wrong, I don\u2019t plan on stopping completely, (did I mention that I LOVE a good michelada y\u2019all), I just plan on stopping a good portion, of the social drinking, over indulging, part of it. Everything in moderation.  Overall, I would challenge anyone reading this to detox in a way that you haven\u2019t tried. For me it was Alcohol, for you, maybe sugar or caffeine? I\u2019d love to hear your thoughts, comment below and let me know what you\u2019ve done to detox! Cheers to healthy living\u2026and micheladas!!

So I decided to try it. As I type this, I am barefoot at the beach. It\u2019s a beautiful, warm day, in sunny Los Angeles and the smog is almost invisible. The singing birds are flying overhead and the sound of the ocean waves, is beyond relaxing. As I breathe in the salty sea air, I am brought back to a time when- OK, OK, I\u2019m not at the beach! But, in my mind, I really, really want to be. That counts for something, right?? You see, I have this \u201cchallenge\u201d with, well, yeah, to be honest, A LOT of things. But, who\u2019s counting? For the sake of this particular article, I have to admit, I find it extremely difficult to take a day off, or any time off at all, and to really just take time for myself. I don\u2019t mean that I NEVER do anything for myself, I do budget in regular facials, mani\/pedi\u2019s and the very occasional massage, duh, but I mean, really take a day for me. The kind of day, where I shut my phone off, shut my laptop, (BAHAHAH!!! Who am I kidding, this never happens,), and just bask in the beauty of nature, take a nap or dive into a good book. That idea is so foreign to me. And as much as I talk and write about really doing the things you enjoy, and how important they are, I find it harder to actually practice what I preach; in this particular area. Looking back, I think it all started when I was 3. I was in ballet class, gymnastics, choir and, I hate to say it, baby pageants. Ugh. I rarely had down time as a kid. And, even when I did, I would stay in the bath until my fingers and toes were all raisin, wrinkly and, though I was super sleepy, I forced myself to stay awake longer. I hated nap time, never wanted to go to bed at night, and during ballet class, I would find ways to stay after class, just to have more time to dance around the room. Alright, this is probably not completely the reason, but it\u2019s the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth! And, it didn\u2019t help that my mother was\/is, ALWAYS on the go! This amazing woman, can\u2019t even sit through an entire dinner, without getting up to do something for someone else. She is the non-stop, shop til you drop, cooking, cleaning, sewing, crafty, artsy, help everyone before she helps herself, type of gal who puts herself last\u2026\u2026wait a minute- OMG! I just realized I am her carbon copy!!!!! I am my mother! I AM MY MOTHER! AHHHHH (Breathe, breathe, breathe.)  And we\u2019re back! After putting my head between my knees for about 15 minutes, I am able to stop hyperventilating and feel much better. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I LOVE my momma! She is a huge inspiration to me and I am actually very thankful, to have even a fraction of her spirit and kindness. But, it does bring me back to the topic of ME time and why it\u2019s so difficult for me! I never realized, as obvi as it is now, how much growing up in a home where your female role model is ALL about doing things for others, AND, having a full schedule, from a very early age, can lead to the non-stop, desire to do more, more, more and help everyone I can, as often as I can! All while, remembering to nurture my own needs, foster my own desires and, the fact that there are only 24 hours, in a day. This is always one tiny detail, I seem to\u2026ignore\u2026er I mean, forget. I took a workshop once, where we had to do what she called a \u201ctime exercise\u201d. We had to time every second\/minute of our day. From, clocking how much time it took to get out of bed, pee, brush our teeth, eat, workout, work, and pretty much ANY activity we did, (yup, any), in a 24 hour period of time. This exercise was to help us, master our time. The idea was, that if we knew how much time we were actually spending\/wasting on being, \u201cbusy\u201d, working etc, then it would be much easier for us to gauge how much time we actually needed in a day, in order to accomplish all of the things we set out to do. Let me just say that not only, did I, according to this exercise, need a 36 hour day in order to do the 150 things I put on my to do list, BUT, I also realized I spend WAY too much time on social media, and that the reason that I needed such a long day, was because I wasn\u2019t AT ALL being as productive as I thought I was. (Oh, and oddly, that when I was allowing myself to feel overwhelmed, that I would walk in the kitchen and open my fridge AND I would grab food, even when I was not hungry.. WTH?!) In conclusion, I will say that what I have realized in the last several months, is yet another, learning lesson, for me. I think, it\u2019s okay to want to work, a lot, help others, a lot, and even spend a lot of time, working. But time mastery, having a schedule and remembering that I have the tools, and the power, to take the much needed time out for myself, every day\/week\/month\/year. And I for one, and not giving myself any more excuses! Also, I realized, that I can\u2019t really afford not to take care of myself. If there is anything that I hate more than feeling depleted, it\u2019s when it starts to affect my work and those around me. Let\u2019s face it. No one wants the half ass work, or company of a burnt out person. It\u2019s not fun, productive or someone I want to be\/become. So, here\u2019s to driving to the beach, sans, laptop, for real, turning off my phone, taking a day off, putting myself first, enjoying\/living my life and day drinking! Sorry, I got way too excited. Maybe minus the day drinking\u2026I said maybe.  Live, Love, Laugh, and take care of YOU, first! XO, ~B The post Just, Me, Myself and I- time.

We had such a great, open and very real, conversation (my fav. kind), and even though we have never met in person, Max has a way of making you feel like you\u2019ve been great friends for years. We chatted it up so much, my segment had to be split into 2 parts! What? I had a lot to say! Click below to listen to part 1 of 2 and please comment below and say hello! THANK YOU Max \u0026 to the The Cinema After Dark Podcast, for having me! I can\u2019t wait until we chat, again!

And, this year, was the best birthday, by far! Carlos, really paid attention, when I said I wanted to get outta dodge and celebrate with him, and booked a cozy weekend, for just the two of us, in Santa Barbara. He surprised me by dropping off our fur baby, Lola, at a cage-free pet hotel, that we LOVE in Studio City, stopped at my fav juice\/smoothie bar and we were off! So, I made a promise to him that I would not take my laptop, (which gave me anxiety), and I would turn off my phone, except to take the occasional picture, (which also gave me anxiety). But I have to admit. it was AWESOME to be unplugged for a weekend. In fact, it was so relaxing, that we managed to only take a handful of pics of our trip, as opposed to the zillions we always take. But in the end, it was so worth it. We started the trip exploring the coast line, snapping pics on the bridges and train tracks, and no joke, almost getting hit by a train\u2026.almost. Ok, we had enough time to run off the track but it was only hundreds of feet away and WAY TOO CLOSE, for comfort! I heard Carlos yell, \u201cTHERE\u2019S A TRAIN!!!\u201d and we literally screamed, ran and hugged eachother for dear life as the train flew past us. The wind was so strong from the passing train, that it pushed me backward and conveniently, right into Carlo\u2019s arms! *Sigh*, so romantic! (AND SCARY AS HE- double hockey stick!) But the rush was indescribable and hey, how many couples can say they *almost* got hit by a train? #WECAN  Our first stop, after we calmed down from almost being turned into road-kill, was the adorable town of Solvang. We walked around, shopped and ate at the cutest cafe that had plenty of organic options, green tea lattes and it was so yummmmmy!   We then headed to Santa Barbara, checked into the cutest hotel on the main strip and headed to a local dance company performance, that Carlos got us tix for. Then, we headed to dinner where we ate, and drank, and ate and ate and ate.I even ate a dark chocolate torte, for dessert, (I know shocker, right?!) and it was GOOOD!  As we were leaving the restaurant, I had the sudden urge to dance like Stephanie, in Saturday Night Fever, so we headed to the strip and found a super fun spot, where we danced SO MUCH, or at least I did, that I had to use Carlos\u2019s scarf, to wipe the sweat from my face! #Werk! It was a blast! The next morning, er, late afternoon, we decided to nix the hike and meditation plans, mostly because it was pouring rain, and head to eat! We found a Swedish restaurant on the strip and I ate like there was no tomorrow. So good. After happily, gorging myself, we decided to walk around and came across a Salt Cave! THIS WAS SOOOOOO BADASS! I had never seen anything like it! Apparently, California has the largest himilayan salt mine in North America- who knew? We went into something I can only describe, as the bat cave for the Zen and for 45 minutes, lounged with peaceful music. I could do that daily. It was super relaxing, and despite the jack-ass who ignored the \u201crules\u201d, had zero manners and took his phone in the room to check his email (?!?!?!), and the fact that Carlos felt a bit queasy from the salt being pumped into the room, in micro-particle form, this was one of the highlights of our trip! I am going back, ASAP! Carlos bought me some great gifts, aside from our little staycay\u2026one being, a himalayan salt lamp, that changes colors \u0026 plugs into your computer! Oddly enough, it helps me to stay relaxed, while writing and the colors make me so happy. He also got me a tea\/coffee mug with one of my favorite quotes, \u201cShe thought she could, so she did!\u201d, and a pair of super soft lounge shorts, imported from india, a sexy, black lace jacket. (I also came home to a package from one of my longtime #BFFS, full of makeup and this super cool, colorful, skull bag!) It\u2019s the little things that make me the happiest.  We didn\u2019t end up doing much else after that\u2026just relaxed and headed back to LA on Sunday. All in all, it was exactly what I wanted\/needed and we had so much fun and some much needed couples only time. I can\u2019t wait to go back again and this time, I will be sure to take LOTS of pics! Thank you Carlos, for going out of your way to make sure everything is never basic, when it comes to us. I am one lucky girl. XO,  The post Birthday Staycay!

And, now with the Oscars officially over, but the memes not even close to being over\u2026EVER, and LaLa Land commuters, finally able to use Hollywood Blvd. all the way through, oh wait, no they can\u2019t Beauty and the Beast is premiering this week- crap\u2026well, almost able to use Hollywood Blvd again, I thought I would fill you all in, on a 3 of really cool events, that stuck out to me amongst the craziness, that I had the opportunity to attend! 1) Roman Media\u2019s 3rd Annual, Pre Oscar Event: Celebrating Women in Film and Diversity in Entertainment  Photos: Albert L. Ortega   MUA: JC Camarillo  Michelle Romano is an actress, producer and CEO of Roman Media. She is an all around, lady boss and we had the pleasure of attending her, jam-packed, event, at Boulevard 3, on Sunset Blvd on Thursday. There were awards handed out, lots of dancing, mixing and mingling and a fashion show, featuring one of my #fav designers, and go-to I need a gorgeous one of a kind dress for a carpet event\u2026 Mr. Shekhar Rehate! The show, which was a beautiful display of colors and glam, was worth the wait and I am lucky enough, to have worn one of his gowns to this event, as well. It was a fun night with great company and I am so excited to see what is coming up next, for Michelle and Roman Media. Thank you Shekhar and thank you Michelle for all that you do, for women in film and for having us! 2) Billy Morrison and Plastic Jesus present:\u2019Anesthesia \u2013 The Art Of Oblivion\u2019  Photos by Publicist Barbara Sanchez    This was such a bold display of beautiful, thought-provoking art! The art was awesome, to say the least. And, being that it was a Friday, in Hollywood, this event was packed! From guitars displayed, as though they were so heavy, they broke the ground beneath them, to the larger than life, display of a gold, plastic Jesus, with colorful carnations, (given to us all, upon entering the exhibit by men dressed as police, in riot gear), to my personal favorite, a large black canvas mural with black glitter words, \u201cStop Making Stupid People Famous\u201d. We LOVED this art show and all of the Rock legends who came out to show their support. Carlos, was beyond excited, as he chatted it up with 2 of his idols, Billy Idol and Gary Newman. All in all, this was much-needed and a reminder, that we will never let art perish! Long live artists! 3)  One Under the Sun Film Premiere  Photo: Guillermo Proano  This Indie film is a true testament to how far Indie film making has come. To think there was a time where Independent films didn\u2019t have a shot at being shown, at a mainstream theatre, like the Regal or Arclight. It\u2019s so great to see artists working so hard to get their voices heard and their films seen! This production, even made shirts, astronaut key chains,(see pic below), bookmarks and mini posters, to give to their attendees! LOVE good marketing and being in the company of creative peeps!  Photo by: Publicist Barbara Sanchez   This premiere took place on Saturday evening, in downtown Los Angeles and aside from the INSANITY, that is LA traffic, especially on a weekend, the event was easy to find, organized and actually started pretty close to on time. (shocking) The film was full of diversity and the lead actress, Pooja Batra, is a former Ms. India! The film also stars, Gene Farber and Ava Cantrell. The synopsis of this film, according to their FB page is a pretty accurate description of the film and I am grateful to have been invited to attend! Here is the synopsis: Astronaut Kathryn Voss, sole survivor of a disastrous space shuttle mission, is a distraught mother desperate to reunite with her terminally ill daughter but becomes a wanted fugitive after discovering she possesses an extraordinary gift. Written by: Vincent Tran (Screenplay by: Katherine Tomlinson) Directed by: Vincent Tran and Riyaana Hartley and produced by: Sunny Vachher \u2013 Producer, Anthony Finno \u2013 Executive Producer, Heather Cline \u2013 Executive Producer, Mike Leblanc \u2013 Executive Producer, Daphne Boyle \u2013 Executive Producer, Gayle Ann Essex \u2013 Executive Producer, and Danny Saab \u2013 Executive Producer. Congrats to all of the cast \u0026 crew and everyone, that was part of this film! Be sure to check out their trailer \u0026 help support Indie Film!      Whelp, there you have it! And on that note, I am hitting the hay\u2026it\u2019s only 4 am. #zzzzz PS. What did YOU do on #OscarWeekend?? XO  PS Follow my blog with Bloglovin The post An Event-Full Oscars Weekend!

Whew- that flew right on by! I guess it might have to do with the fact that, I have been a busy little B, this week! I had a new head shot shoot, posted a new Chiquita video,(click on Acting in the menu above), completed my 2nd week of my fitness challenge, wrote a few new blog articles, finally had a little me time, AND, was a guest on an awesome podcast! Not to mention, all of the social media managing, email replying and all around, organizing it takes to keep me moving forward! And you all know that having a fur baby, esp in a cray rain storm, is equivalent to having a very needy child. LOL All in all it was a FANTASTIC and productive week! Since we are already almost 3 months into the new year (I KNOW, wtf happened?), and pilot season is upon us here in La, La, Land, I decided to get some new shots! I fell in LOVE with a photog for BK Headshots, named Bjoern, when I saw him shoot Carlos\u2019s new shots. The way he shoots is unlike any other shoot, I have personally had and I have to say- my manager especially, and I, are SUPER happy with the shots! During our sesh, he really emphasized how important it is to just be myself and really let him do his job. This all sounds really obvious but for a multi tasker like moi\u2026I need a little reminder every now and then. I admit, I tend to want to help, even though I am paying the guy, to do what he does best. But it is always nice and very important, to be able to just focus on being an actress, and taking amazing headshots. It was hands down, the best time I have ever had, on a head shot shoot. Let me tell you though, he is a serious pro, knows exactly what he is doing, means business, is very intense and matter of fact, to say the least! All things I ADORE in anyone I am working with. I walked away from that shoot with so many great, fresh, new perspectives and most importantly I HAD FUN- SO MUCH FUN! I can\u2019t say enough great things about this photog. Definitely check out his page.

(Although, we are always, or should be, grateful!) Especially, if it\u2019s the time of the month, ugh, you\u2019re finally getting over the plague, (that seems to never end), you are just not feeling camera ready, OR, because of, I don\u2019t know, that gigantic Rudolph zit, on the tip of your nose? Been there, done that. But never fear, (cue dramatic music), Burgandi is here! Here are 7 things I do, at home, that instantly get me in the mood, to strike a pose. 1) Start chugging water. As much as you can, and especially before bed and in the morning before the shoot. Water is essential; the more you drink, the better your skin and body will look and feel. There is a reason, it is recommended that you drink at least 8 oz a day- I drink at least a gallon a day! Add some cucumber and lemon, even some fresh mint, to help, flush your system out and tantalize your tastebuds! Hydration is so overlooked, especially when we get busy and are in a hurry. But you NEED it- for a photo shoot, esp. But, let me be specific, don\u2019t just grab any h2o! (Duh) Make sure you are drinking a purified water, not in a plastic bottle and preferably, alkaline rich water, with antioxidants. This will boost your energy, your skins elasticity, shed water weight and hydrate your body, as a whole, better than ever before. (Here is the only h2o I drink. #WaterJunkie) 2) Exercise. Do it, the day before AND the morning of. Take a long walk with your fur baby, around the block, go on a hike and\/or do an at home workout. But, don\u2019t get all cray cray and do hours and hours of cardio then decide to stay all night in the steam sauna, at your gym. You don\u2019t want to over exhaust yourself and your muscles, esp. if you haven\u2019t been working it out, on the regular. They key, for me, has been doing interval exercises, for as little at 15 mins a day and you can always feel a difference when you do quick toning reps of, crunches, plank \u0026 pushups. Just get moving. Even if that means putting on your headphones, listening to your fav Bjork song(s), and dancing like a mad person, in your room, doing a workout you love, is always a good idea! 3) Eat. Yes, I am talking to you, Ms.\/Mr. \u201cI don\u2019t want to eat until after the shoot, I\u2019ll look thinner!\u201d Ok, I get it. I was a ballet dancer for most of my adolescent life and then some. Being encouraged not to eat or eat very little, is the \u201cnorm\u201d in certain instances. But, as a woman who has overcome some serious eating disorder obstacles, (that\u2019s a whole other blog post), I can tell you, it\u2019s never, in my opinion, a good idea not to eat. It\u2019s actually worse for your mind, body and soul, and may lead to weight gain and or, a serious problem. Don\u2019t take that chance. TRUST. It\u2019s NOT worth it. Grab a handful of almonds, make a quick protein shake with chia seeds, which are not only a superfood, but, they help you curb hunger and help you to feel full longer. Or, pick up a smoothie at your fav juice bar- but please eat! So, maybe not a bean burrito, garlic, onions, broccoli, eggs or cabbage\u2026those foods, while great, let\u2019s just say, lead to smelly results. And you definitely don\u2019t want that. 4.) Take a bath with epsom salt. Not only will this relax your racing mind and allow your worries to literally be washed away, but this beneficial salt, is a perfect way to replenish the magnesium lost, in the body, due to stress. It\u2019s also a pain reliever, helps to relieve sore muscles and can also eliminate excess water weight! Soak for anywhere from 12-30 minutes and the only thing you will have to \u201cworry\u201d about, are your toes and fingers, looking like raisins! And, last but not least, if you are feeling heavy and really bloated, because you ate those 3 bean burritos, 5 minutes before you found out you were shooting, you can actually drink epsom salt it, mixed with water, (see instructions on purchased bag\/box), BUT- I can tell you from experience it tastes nasty, you should NOT do this often and you should stay near your bathroom\u2026for at least an hour! For real. 5) Skincare. I always do a homemade, raw, organic, sugar scrub, after cleansing, by just taking the raw sugar and gently, rubbing it on my face, neck and decollate. I also take a warm shower and after cleansing, gently scrub with raw, organic sugar and coffee grounds mixed together. My skin is gleaming, when I get out. Just before bed, I put on a relaxing, hydrating Japanese\/Korean face mask, set the time for 15-20 mins and get zen af. Doing these these quick things night before, keeps my skin plump and hydrated and smooth as silk! 6) Prepare. This is super important. I always start by writing a list. Do you need to take anything specific? Did they ask you to bring your DL \u0026 SS card? How far is the location from your place? How are you getting there? There\u2019s nothing more frustrating, than feeling prepared, only to find out, the location is 45 mins with traffic and you have to be there in 30. Be early, rather than onetime. It shows your dedication and professionalism and leaves you a little wiggle room, if there is an unexpected delay. (Which is ALWAYS here in LaLa Land!) Pack your bag(s), the night before, not at the last minute. If I have to take any of my own wardrobe, which is rare, I always put it in a wardrobe or garment bag, with my name somewhere on the bag. And, it\u2019s always a good idea if you have food allergies, like I do, always take something to munch on. You never know. 7) REST. This is not a joke people. You need to catch some zzzzzz\u2019s, so that your fabulous self, it ready to work that lens! Plus, sleep is as important as water, in helping to replenish your cells, skin, body and mind. And even though it varies per person, you should aim to get between 7-9 hours of sleep, according to the National Sleep Foundation. To help you get the best sleep, turn your ringer OFF at night, put on an eye mask and rub a tiny dab, of skin safe, lavender oil on your temples and the bottoms of your feet. Just before your head hits your pillow, put a few more drops between your palms, rub together and inhale deeply. If this doesn\u2019t relax you, you might be a robot- or, you may need to take an all natural sleep aid supplement. I personally LOVE Gaba because, there are no side effects and it really relaxes me. You can also take Valerian root, but warning: it stinks in pure form, like, A LOT and if you take too much you WILL sleep past your alarm. Which I have totally done\u2026several times. #NoBueno So, there you have it! 7 small things, that will leave you feeling like the King, or Queen that you are! Now GO and SLAY that shoot!

I love meetings. I love talking, with like minded people. I love LA and social media, for this reason. And regardless of what industry you are in, social media marketing and networking, are a huge part of the way the world works. There is nothing better, to me, than gabbing it up, with people, who more successful than I am, are ambitious and driven and full of spark! It\u2019s become quite an obsession of mine, since moving to the big city and as the weeks, months and years pass by, I enjoy it more and more! Last year, I stepped out on a major limb and decided to be more social, in a next level sort of way. I reached out to my resources, to connect with folks I look up to and admire. In turn, I have had the pleasure of being part of several meetings, with a variety of different industry people. These VERY talented writers, directors, producers, actors, casting directors and even a few agents and managers, had such great things to bring to the table. I always go in with zero expectations and more often than not, I come out of it with a new bit of knowledge, a new perspective and it\u2019s such a great way to constantly learn, learn, learn! Let\u2019s be honest though, not all of it is 100% positive, and that\u2019s ok, (I\u2019ve learned to never take it personally-you never know what that person may be going through), But, I will admit, sometimes it is just mind blowing, when the party asking for the meeting is not at all prepared. I once sat in on a meeting with a friend of mine, who was approached to possibly help produce an indie film. He has been known to have, some pretty serious connections-mostly because he is a KING at building relationships that last. He was introduced to a super talented writer, who wrote a great, funny script and was looking to get the film funded. The writer was very excited and SO passionate about their work, that they were practically glowing! During the meeting, the writer expressed to my friend, (who I think, is a pretty well known actor), that they were really struggling with how to approach an investor and expressed how grateful they were to my friend for taking the time to meet. The writer then says something that should never be said out loud,when said person requested the meeting, she said, \u201cBy the way, what do you do? Do you live in LA? Are you in the Industry? I have no idea what you do!\u201d I think my eyes must have opened really wide and my jaw dropped, because the writer immediately started back peddling and explaining, that they \u201cjust haven\u2019t had the time\u201d to do any \u201cresearch\u201d. I was dumbfounded that this person didn\u2019t make the 5 seconds it takes to pull up IMDb or, geez, at least google who she was meeting! It\u2019s 2017 people! Not only is he in the industry, but they asked to meet him, not the other way around. WOW. Needless to say, it was pretty much all downhill after that and the meeting ended on a very  awkward note. Yikes. I will say, this is not the first time I have witnessed this, on a personal level. I once had an agent approach me on Backstage and when we spoke on the phone, they said, \u201cSo, are you an actor or, how did you find my information?\u201d I said, \u201cYou wrote me a message, sent one to my manager and then left me a voicemail? So, I\u2019m just calling YOU back.\u201d Seriously?! Yes. It happens. All. The. Time. And in my opinion, IT SHOULDN\u2019T! There is always time to do your research, do-diligence and just be a professional, in general! We all have off days and sometimes life does get in the way, but don\u2019t be that girl\/guy. Just DON\u2019T. I have learned a few things along the way and let me tell you guys, I learned them, the hard way. I was that girl. I showed up late to meetings, auditions, events etc, and was the furthest thing from being prepared. And you know what someone told me? The way that I presented\/misrepresented, myself at these meetings, auditions, etc, was a direct reflection of who I was and the professional that I definitely was not. It was not easy to hear, but I took it as a sign that the universe was trying to guide me in a positive direction, and I shifted the way that I was doing things. This was NOT easy, fun or something I generally enjoy\u2026.I loved the idea, instead, that I could \u201cdo it all\u201d, at the same time. Yeah. #EpicFail So, now, instead of waiting until the last minute to research who I am meeting, read a script or even pick out what I was wearing, I prioritize. I challenge myself to find out at least 3 interesting things about the person I would be meeting, or aim, to read the script at least 3 times before the meeting. I even pick out outfits the night before and do what they do in #Clueless; snap a few pics and compare! Now, don\u2019t get me wrong, there are times, that this doesn\u2019t always happen, but I always make sure to do each thing, at least one time, vs not at all, or super last minute. I never realized how much unwanted anxiety not being prepared actually causes!  Preparation, is definitely another life skill, that most of us, learn during the process. But, trust- the sooner you can adopt this skill and really put it to practice, the better off you will be. In my opinion, it\u2019s only those who go the extra mile, work a little harder, and really push themselves, to achieve the best of their abilities, that really earn their way to, the \u201ctop\u201d\u2026whatever that may mean to or for you. This is an industry and world, full of people, that live, breathe and eat, whatever it is they are passionate about. And while there needs to be room for balance, being unprepared, is never a skill set, I want to have associated with my professional name, or at all for that matter! Work hard, play hard, be creative, step way out of your comfort zone and for the love of God, Buddha, Allah \u0026 all things holy, PLEASE BE PREPARED! What do you do, to help you prepare?

It\u2019s February folks. Time is already flyin\u2019 by and life is beautiful! Ok,\u2026..at least that\u2019s what I keep telling myself daily, so I don\u2019t have a panic attack from all of the, [insert words here that might be able to explain what the heck is going on in the world]! \u2026.Is anyone else feeling like taking a loooong vacay? Oi. Speaking of vacay, that, is one of the many things I promised myself I would actually do in 2016 and didn\u2019t. I remember saying to myself, last New Year\u2019s Eve, (and about a million times\/every year before then), that in 2016, I would really focus on the things and the people who were most important to me. No more fear of, \u201cWhat will he\/she\/they think if I say no or yes?\u201d or, fear in general of being myself 150% of the time, regardless of anything or anyone! No more allowing myself to be taken advantage of- in my personal life and\/or in my professional life! I am going to give back more, be more specific about my goals and only surround myself with positive, uplifting people and while I LOVE helping others, I was finally going to help myself! I was a new woman and it felt fabulous! Then, the champagne wore off and reality hit me. After I had a good, long, chuckle, (ugly cry), at my own expense, I found myself asking, \u201cHow the h-e- double-hockey-stick am I going to focus on only myself?!\u201d It\u2019s always been SO much easier and more fulfilling for me to focus on everything and everyone else, I didn\u2019t even know where to begin. It took me a minute to really take in, why I would rather focus on anything but myself, then, it came to the surface and it was a big, very hard, pill to swallow. I realized, that over time, I had allowed myself to become a four letter word that I despise\u2026..LAZY. (AHHH! Just typing it makes me cringe.) I can hear the thoughts of what those of you who really know me, are thinking now: \u201cNo way! Burgandi, you are the furthest thing from Lazy!\u201d, Right?! I know! I thought the same thing too. Trust me, I argued with myself, for hours. But alas, \u2018tis true. Hi, My name is Burgandi, and I had allowed myself, to become lazy. (Dun, Dun, Dun!) Now, let me clarify the definition of \u201clazy\u201d, well, in the way that I discovered it to be true for myself. I am not a bump on a log, who lacks motivation, drive, ambition and hates hard work\u2026in fact, I am the exact opposite of that! However, I believe that being a lazy person isn\u2019t something you are born being, nor, is it something you cannot change, but we are ALL susceptible. (That includes you!) It is possible, to slip into the deep, dark, head space and I know first hand, it is NOT pretty in there sometimes! This \u201cdarkness\u201d, leaves a lot room for procrastination, excuses and most of all, the choice we make to \u201cfeel overwhelmed\u201d. Hence, begins the process of piling on \u201cbusy\u201d things to do, mostly for other people and that new-found workout routine and regimen of reading, writing or even putting yourself out there, starts to slowly become null and void. You just aren\u2019t as excited, as you were about it before. You start to question yourself. Doubt sets in and you wonder, how you ended up in the same social circle with certain \u201cfriends\u201d. You realize that you are surrounded by energy vombies, (vampire+zombie), and\/or negative, envious, unbalanced and sometimes, straight up cray-cray people! Sound familiar? If so, keep reading. If not, I think you\u2019re lying. Just sayin\u2019. This constant place of discovery and growth is something I openly admit to struggling with\u2026 and while I have no shame about it, it\u2019s ALWAYS a moving target\u2026 and I know I am not the only one who feels this way. The most important thing about this for me, was that I could finally zero in on why I was feeling so unaccomplished, tired, defeated, anxious, insecure, etc. It wasn\u2019t that I wasn\u2019t doing enough on a daily basis and checking all of my tasks off of my checklist, I just wasn\u2019t doing it, from a place within that was fulfilling. On top of that, I was creating more and more \u201cbusy work\u201d, I.E. \u201cI\u2019m SO busy, I have no time to walk my dog, work out or leave my house, on time\u201d, and while I needed to do some social media networking\/work, I didn\u2019t need to make it my life, everyday! So, I started slowly getting back to the basics. My basics. Which were hard to find, since I had spent so much time and energy on things and people, that were hindering my ability to focus on who I really was and the direction I wanted to go. I started by doing little things. I.E. Using my planner and calendar again and writing down things I needed\/wanted to accomplish, in order of importance; I can\u2019t tell you, how much this helped, make my life a billion times easier! I began filling my schedule with the things I loved; giving back, dance, singing at the top of my lungs, acting classes and positive articles\/daily affirmations etc. Guess what!? Slowly, I noticed that I was beginning to be surrounded, by positive people who were beautiful on the inside and out, great opportunities came from all directions and I looked at myself differently in the mirror, every morning. Overall, I just felt\u2026happy! But, trust- not all of it was unicorns \u0026 glitter! (Obvi) There are always unpleasantries associated with discovery and I had to make several difficult choices, for myself. It was difficult to have to cut loose individuals, who I knew I could not be the kind of friend, or acquaintance, they needed right now, or ever. I never, ever, want to be intentionally hurtful, but I had to be realistic. And, while it\u2019s not fun, nice or ideal, it happens and it\u2019s OK. You have to take out the trash once in a while! Can I get an AMEN!? Take care of YOURSELF, focus on loving YOURSELF and live YOUR life to the fullest. YOU are never alone, YOU are a beautiful human being and YOU deserve all the the amazing things, life has to offer. And remember, you can always help others, BUT, you can\u2019t truly, help someone else, if you can\u2019t first, take care of yourself. Onward and Upward!

And this year, is monumentally important, on so many levels. First and foremost, a record total of 7 minority actors, to include, 6 Black actors, were nominated this year, (yaaassss!), according to an article in Variety on January 24th, thus, breaking the streak \u0026 the infamous trending topic of 2016, #OscarsSoWhite. AND, with the swearing in of one of the most controversial presidents in the history of mankind\/ since the beginning of all time, (or at least it REALLY feels this way), this year, more than ever, is just the beginning of a slew, of record breaking events\u2026God help us all. Any who, back to the topic at hand\u2026The Oscars. Ahh\u2026I love The Oscars, and not only, because of the the glitz and the glam\u2026it\u2019s also a time to celebrate extremely talented industry pro\u2019s! Not to mention, it\u2019s the industry\u2019s biggest event and just being nominated, is one of the highest honors, one in entertainment can receive! With all of the current #Oscar buzz, and swarm of extremely talented actors, directors, producers etc, who are in the spotlight, I can\u2019t help but think of a crucial piece of the puzzle that almost never, makes it into the main stream media. The Casting Directors\u2013 or CD, in industry lingo. Site note: Did you know\u2026.Casting is still the ONLY main title credit, (meaning you will see this credit, before and after the film), without an Oscar Category?!!?!?!??!!?!?!!?!? WTF?!? A year ago, an agent that I had a meeting with, asked me if I had seen the Oscar nominations and what films I had seen. I mentioned a few that stuck out to me and we got to chatting about the one of the films. He mentioned that he was close friends with one of the Casting Directors who cast around, 90 roles, for one of the Oscar Nominated films. (90 roles!!) I was so impressed when he said her name, because I had definitely heard\/seen the name before, but I didn\u2019t remember seeing her name on IMDb, for that particular film, or on the credits of the film, when I watched it. He went on to explain, that it was \u201csomething that happens\u201d, more often then he would like to admit and it was \u201cvery frustrating\u201d. He said, \u201csometimes, people who have worked very hard on a film, don\u2019t get a credit..anywhere.\u201d I didn\u2019t know what to say because the first thing that came to mind was, \u201cWHAT!? Shut UP! That\u2019s BS!\u201d but, I decided to take a breath first and save the drama for the screen. I asked him, if this was common throughout the industry and especially in Casting? He nodded and said, \u201cUnfortunately, yes, sometimes it\u2019s an executive decision and sometimes its a mistake.\u201d Say what?! While I understand, people don\u2019t do this for a \u201cCredit\u201d per se, and I understand a student film team, making a mistake\u2026 but when a huge studio film, that\u2019s been nominated for several awards, doesn\u2019t give credit, to anyone that worked hard on a film, that\u2019s just wrong, in my opinion. Every project, is another notch in your belt and especially, when something is nominated, can be the key to securing a lot more work, in the months and years to come! Not, getting that recognition, not only lessens someone\u2019s name and very hard work, but could potentially take away valuable opportunities. Serious, Ouch. I wanted a little more info, so, I decided to reach out to a CD, (who wishes to remain anonymous), that has worked in the industry, for many years. I asked her if she had experienced any of this uncredited hoopla. She shared, that she \u201cpersonally had not except for commercials, but that\u2019s just how it is\u201d, and recommend that I see the film, \u201cCasting By\u201d, stat. So I did. OMG- YOU GUYS-If you have not seen this film yet, stop what you are doing and GO SEE IT NOW!  Casting by, which is streaming on Netflix, is an eye opening documentary, about Marion Dougherty, the woman who revolutionized the casting industry and many of the CD\u2019s that began independently casting, once studios moved away from the studio system, of having contract players, in the 1950\u2019s. Marion is truly a super hero and THE original casting Goddess! Marion got her start as the casting assistant, for The Kraft Television Theatre, back in the 1940\u2019s and eventually went on to become the casting director. She was in charge of casting the entire show, for 8 years, which did over 500 pictures, and get this\u2026 never once, received a credit! I mean, we are talking, she gave James Dean, Glen Close, Jon Voight and MANY, MANY, others, their start in film and television!! And it wasn\u2019t just her, but all casting directors and assistants, were never credited. Insane. Eventually Marion and several other CD\u2019s did received credit, but only after several attempts in the 1960\u2019s, and after being rejected several times, due to the fact that it was argued they are technically \u201cnot directors\u201d. (Oh, brother. Really?) Yup, really. They were credited as \u201cCasting By\u201d, but, it was not a full credit for just the CD, but it was shared with an assistant. It took 3 years for Marion to receive a full credit, meanwhile, her Hollywood \u201ccounterpart\u201d, Lynn Stalmaster, (also a casting God), was the first CD, to ever receive a full title credit, on a film. There is SO much more to tell you all, like the fact that the majority of her staff, were all women and she felt very strongly about women working together\u2026ok, ok, I\u2019ll stop\u2026I don\u2019t want to spoil it! You have to experience this film for yourselves- especially if you are an actor! You\u2019ll laugh, you\u2019ll cry, you\u2019ll wish you were alive in the 40\u2019s\u2026.ok, maybe that\u2019s just me\u2026.but one thing is for sure, unless you are a robot, you\u2019ll be utterly and completely moved! I was beyond inspired\u2026it\u2019s a definite must see!!!!!! In this industry, and for those of us who are courageous enough to pursue it, we know that most of the time, there is a lack of appreciation, credit and recognition. And especially, if you are an actor who is in this industry, solely for that reason, you are going to be sadly disappointed. The only way to \u201cdo this\u201d, is to do it because you LOVE it; period, point blank. Everything else that comes, in due time, is all a gigantic bonus. These unsung casting heroes, spend countless hours, days, weeks and months, going through sometimes, thousands of submissions, (this is not an exaggeration), to ensure they find the actor(s), who are an exact match, to the role(s) they have been hired to fill. Talk about some major pressure! In my opinion, this is probably, one of the hardest jobs, and not for the faint of heart. It takes someone really special, to be in casting, for the long haul. So, the next time you watch a movie or sit down to binge watch your #fav tv show OR, for all you actors out there, the next time you have an audition, get a general meeting, have a call back or take an educational workshop, walk in there with TONS of appreciation, gratitude and ALWAYS, take the time to say THANK YOU!
