So I know I just answered your questions this past Saturday, but I have been so into reading them lately so I just had to answer a few more!  Here goes!


How is your diet going? I am on a diet as well and I think it's so hard to stay on the wagon. Do you have any advice for us slackers and what is the best way to get right back on the diet wagon if ya fall off? My last question is: What are some of your favorite perfumes?  Thanks doll love ya
-Tyiana  

I love your name Tyiana. Anyway, hey momma! I hope I can help you or at least make you feel better. Now we all slack off at times with diets and we all fall off the wagon, especially around the Holidays, so do not feel bad. Weight and body health is going to be a battle that you have every single day of your life. Even if you are they way you want to be, you need to fight to stay there, so try to not be so hard on yourself.  Give yourself cheat days every so often so you will not binge and go out of control.

I try to work out at least 5 times a week.  I love muscle definition, I do not like the typical skinny body, so I personally like to work on muscle and stay thicker. But you have to lose or gain weight for what you want your body to look like. I also try to not eat any white carbs. I still eat carbs but just the good carbs.

Honey I have tried it all and I think I have finally found an equal balance that works well with my body and still makes me feel like I am enjoying my life. Do what is best for you! Do not deprive yourself of the things that make you happy. It is all about moderation baby. So stick to your diet and try to work out more if you feel like you overdid it with the food. Working out always makes me feel amazing and it gets my days off to a great start.  I am very proud that you are trying to make yourself a better you!  Work it out sista!

Hey dolls.  I realized I haven't answered your questions in so long but I don't want you to think I'm not still reading all of your comments.  Please keep asking and I promise I'll answer as many as I can.  Here are a few for now.

I'm loving that you guys are asking me so many questions!  It really means so much to me that you want to hear what I have to say.  So please keep asking, and I'll keep answering!  xoxo


Hey Khloe
I want to start acting in movies but I am afraid it would affect my studies........ what do you think I should do?  Because your opinion matters....... xoxo -Haley, a huge fan

Haley,
Hummmm.... This one is tricky... I am fully for following your dreams but I encourage school and education as well!  I am not sure what grade you are in, but is there a way that you can do both?  If you have the acting bug, can you still go to school and enroll in the drama department until school is over?  That way you can still do both. Then when you are out of school you can focus on acting.  At least while you are in the drama department you will be studying the craft of theater.  Either way, I feel that an education is the most important thing!  Especially in this day and age.  You can always fall back on a degree!  I hope I was able to help! Good Luck Hales!!!  Hope to see you on the big screen!

It's pretty cool that's you answered your fans questions, now everybody asking you question and I got a question too LOL!  I'd understand if you don't get the chance to answer but I just have to ask you this specific question because I've been hearing rumors about DASH opening in Dubai (I'm guessing you already know what part of the world Dubai's in lol) and I can't find any news on the internet about DASH opening in Dubai.  So, I'm just wondering if you're going to open a DASH branch in Dubai, and will you ever consider visiting Dubai? -Nouf

Hey Nouf,
I love all these rumors about DASH!  That's so cool to me!  As of now, with the economy in such bad shape, we are not planning on expanding DASH.  It was a big thought of ours but we really want to wait until the economy turns around before we create other expenses for ourselves.  Personally, I want DASH to be a worldwide boutique.  I think we would start in the states before we went to Dubai, but hopefully if God permits it we will be in Dubai soon!  This question is so funny because my sisters and I were just talking about visiting Dubai in the new year -- we really want to!  So hopefully in January or February we will get the opportunity to go!!! Kisses toots!

Hey Dolls!  So I've been reading your comments a lot lately, and since I absolutely love answering fans' questions, I figured I'd answer a few more!  Keep 'em coming and I'll try to get back to you as often as I can!


Hey Khloe.  I think that's so awesome how you actually read all the comments and answer questions. I have been asking 2 questions for the longest time but no one seems to know the answers.  First question is, what is Rob studying at USC?  And second question is, is Lily (that works at DASH) related to you guys?  She could pass for a Kardashian! I know just stupid questions but I was wondering. - Rainy

Rainy Doll!!!
No questions are stupid!  At least I never think so.  Rob is studying business at USC.  Which is a great degree to have because you can use that degree in so many fields.  And I'm sorry to say but Lily is not related to us.  I wish she was!!  She is so sweet and cute!  But she just happens to be dark and petite like my sisters. :)  Sorry it took so long to answer your questions!

So my family, friends, and I just wanted to thank all of you for the amazing birthday wishes you guys left in comments over the past few weeks.  We read EVERY single one of them and it really meant a lot to all of us!!

While I'm on the subject of comments, as I was reading through the birthday posts, a few of your questions caught my attention, so I wanted to take a moment to answer them.


Where has ur brother been, Rob? Is he trying to stay out of the limelight with Ad? -Joy

Hey Joy,
Rob has been kind of MIA lately, but he is hiding for a good cause.  LOL! Adrienne has been on tour with the Cheetah Girls for almost two months now and she will be gone until December 20th.  During the time she's been gone, Rob has been studying like crazy.  He graduates this year so he is taking his schoolwork very seriously, which we encourage.  It does seem like he hasn't been around but we do see him in the day here and there.  But when it comes to the nightlife, he stays in and studies!  I'm so proud of Rob!  Isn't he the best?  LOL.

People always ask me how my eye lashes are so long. They always assume I am wearing falses or I have eye lash extensions. I actually just have 2 tricks: amazing mascara and Enormous Lash.

Here is what I do.... I only wear Lancome Hypnose Mascara first off. I swear it is amazing mascara!  OMG I swear by it! I love the wand, my lashes are never clumpy!
That is the easy part. Any girl who has nice lashes to start just use Lancome and they will look even better! ;)

Now for those girls who don't feel like they have great lashes here is what you can do... Go buy Enormous Lash on beautysociety.com. There are tons of other similar products thst do the same thing, but this one product is my fav. The other ones tend to burn my eyes.

I used to wear a ton of fake lashes when we would do red carpet events, but then everytime I would take the strip off I would feel that my real lashes were getting thinner and thinner. So someone sugested I use Enormous Lash. OMG! It really regrows your lashes!!!! I put it on my upper and lower lash line before I go to sleep about 3 times a week and my lashes feel and look longer and thicker.

I used to use Enormous Lash all the time but then my lashes were getting a little out of control so I only use it a few times a week. Feel free to use it as often you guys like. I hope you guys like my little tidbits!

Following up with my workout regimen, as far as my diet goes, I truly try to eat healthier altogether. It is hard since there are so many yummy temptations, but I have learned to level all my habits.

I eat salads and organic foods along with my low carb diet. But that gets boring! So I will find little treats that make me want to stick to my diet and not binge later. 

This time, I make smarter choices by choosing strawberries over a fruit roll up! No matter how tempting it is, I gotta do it! A sweet tooth runs in my family. We just can't help it!!

Sweets are my weakness but I reward myself every so often with a snack, like Sour Patch Kids or something along those lines. I will eat sweets and desserts just not the whole thing. I'll have a bite or so to satisfy my sweet tooth. After all the hard work and devotion in the gym, I don't want to mess up!

I also try and choose water and iced tea rather than soda and juices that have tons of sugar in them. The smallest change in your diet can make the biggest difference in your body.

So basically, if your balancing your food and stay moving, you can not only lose some weight but also feel more upbeat and healthier which I feel like is the most beneficial!

Watching your weight is something we all battle! Working out is something we dread!! But lately I have been realizing that working out and eating healthier leads to a better, happier lifestyle in general!

I for one, have totally changed my daily regimen. First off, I go boxing three days a week-- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Boxing is such an amazing working and stress reliever. I never feel like I am working out while I am boxing (which I love!!).

Besides boxing, I work out everyday and do a full cardio workout that includes running on the treadmill and bicycling. I try to work out with a friend so that we keep each other motivated and moving. That way, if I back down, they can push me back into it and work even harder! I am a competitive person so having a friend with me is fab! 

On weekends, I try to stay active as well. I used to use the weekends as my free days off but then realized Mondays turned out hard for a reason.  So, I do different types of things besides the gym, like hiking with my little sisters. Walking with them keeps me on my toes because of all of their energy. I have to keep up with those girls!

One thing I think we can all relate to is breakouts! Ah, it is the most horrible thing that happens but it happens to the best of us!

Personally, I never had acne as a teenager. But once I hit my twenties, it was breakout central! I was told that it could have been due to stress, or just my body was changing. My dermatologist advised me that it happens to most women and as unfortunate as it is, it is a prime stage of your life so acne is the last thing we want to worry about!
   
I have a few tricks of my own to fight acne--the first of which I'll talk about today--so hopefully you will be able to use them too.

The most important way to fight acne for me is make sure to wash my face every single night! No matter how tired I am I must wash my face before I go to bed. Especially if I am wearing makeup, it is vital to get it off my skin.

I use Cetaphil face wash as my primary wash since it is so light and makes your face feel the cleanest possible. I have extremely sensitive skin and Cetaphil has the right dosage for me without making it too dry or too oily and actually helps my complexion.

Some washes can also irritate and make your skin backfire, but many of my own friends with different skin types love Cetaphil as well.

Then I use Ponds moisturizer. It totally makes my skin smooth and happens to be a great primer for makeup as well! I have used so many different moisturizers, and this one has just been the perfect one!
