Ok, can I say I am so happy she is bad at singing! My main resistance to new Glee Cast members is because I’m afraid they’ll change the club dynamic or be ‘just another voice’ or, honestly, limit the positions for singers on the show…
Anyway, the fact that she can’t sing and isn’t in the club instantly makes her 10x more likeable to me. As a result, I think she’s funny.

Since Sugar has been rejected by Will I see her becoming a Sue Sylvester minion with the anti-arts stand.
Santana has been ousted from the Glee club and will possibly form an alliance with Sugar.
Like, I don’t know if I’d say ‘baby’…maybe ‘babe’. I think ‘honey’ is possible because it sounds black. ‘Sweetie’ is probably not gonna happen, or ‘sugar’ for sure.
I won’t rule out the possibility of using ‘sexy’…

I cut out coffee from my morning routine and replaced it with decaff green tea. Best life choice ever <3
*Sidenote: But if you are consuming pre-packaged tea (like Arizona, Nestea, or the bottled Lipton) you are consuming HUGE amounts of high-fructose corn syrup (the equivalent of NINE tablespoons of sugar per serving).
I switched over from soda to bottled tea, and have since stopped consuming bottled tea, and (for the most part) prepackaged beverages because they contain DISGUSTING amounts of high fructose corn syrup.
HFCS has been linked to higher levels of kidney damage according to this study and to fatty liver disease in this study.
-Some HFCS has also been found to contain detectable levels of mercury (17 out of 55 products containing HFCS tested high on the charts for mercury). There are NO safe levels of mercury for women of childbearing age or children.
-It’s bad for our environment. “Most corn is grown as a monoculture, meaning that the land is used solely for corn, not rotated among crops. This maximizes yields, but at a price: It depletes soil nutrients, requiring more pesticides and fertilizer while weakening topsoil.”
-It is suggested that diabetics avoid it because they body doesn’t process it like sugar (glucose) which can wreak havoc on blood sugar levels.
-HFCS makes us fat. Long story short is that fructose, the sugar in HFCS, doesn’t stimulate leptin, a hormone which tells your body it’s full. So you’ve consumed a bunch of processed sugar-like calories, but your body doesn’t get the message, leading you to eat more calories. Fructose is also “an unregulated source of “acetyl CoA,” or the starting material for fatty acid synthesis. This, coupled with unstimulated leptin levels, is like opening the flood gates of fat deposition.”
So drink tea, but make it at home and sweeten it with 1tbsp of brown cane sugar or honey. :)
All the things Cara says are true, especially this point:
-It is suggested that diabetics avoid it because they body doesn’t process it like sugar (glucose) which can wreak havoc on blood sugar levels.
and this point:
-HFCS makes us fat. […]
Three members of my family have all read a book about how the body can’t recognise and filter fructose sugar when it has been extracted and processed - as in, when it isn’t in a fibrous fruit or vegetable. There was more about the dangers of sugar in it too but as a result all three have them have stopped consuming fructose sugar (though, to be honest I’m fairly certain my younger brother stopped consuming fructose because the book told him it would give him erectile dysfunction).
This doesn’t just go for teas though - there are dangerous levels of fructose and/or HFCS in a majority of products nowadays.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm92w1q8LT1qhcpdeo1_400.png)

They look so good but they make me sick so quick!
I want to go to there!
This is probably my favourite dessert I have ever made. This is a Black Forest Mousse Tart. I made it up myself! Basically it’s this nice pastry filled with chocolate mousse and topped with cherries. What you see on the plates are cherry and chocolate slicks.
