CD Reviews

One of the things that I love even more than a trip to Starbucks with my husband (even when he’s paying) is to see someone take a creative, brilliant spark of an idea and set themselves on fire with it!

Heidi Roizen (second from the left in the picture below) recently set her world on fire, and the really sweet thing about it is this:  We can all benefit from her combustion. 

Heidi has created a CD, SKINNY SONGS, as well as a website and line of tee shirts  that all put a great big smile on the face of weight loss - I’m sure you’ll agree with the that that’s no small feat.  The songs, which are also available for downloading on iTunes, are hilarious and, quite frankly, very well-performed. 

The cd is perfect to play while doing pilates, calisthenics, and aerobics. The music keeps you fueled while the lyrics keep it fun.  My favorite use of the cd is to play it while cleaning house. I find myself getting a little workout while chores are far less tedious.  Heidi, who must have a wicked sense of humor, wrote the lyrics for all ten songs:

1. Skinny Jeans
2. Thin!
3. I’m a Hottie Now
4. Use it To Lose It
5. The Incredible Shrinking Woman
6. Think I’ll Go To Saks
7. You Da Boss
8. Objects in the Mirror
9. Who the Hell is That?
10. Blowin’ You Off at 8

Jump over to Skinny Songs.com to read the great reviews and Press articles to give you more information.  While there, you have to check out the tee shirts (some are pictured below) - they’re further proof of Heidi’s humor.  She seems to be one of those people who “get” what one of my favorite people, Maya Angelou, once said, “Life loves the liver of it!”

And I love pizza, onion rings, turtle cheesecake, and Mocha Lattes.  Guess I’d better keep my SKINNY SONGS near the cd player at all times.

Welcome to the newest blog in our network.  I’m really excited about this particular blog because it’s shaping up to be unlike any of our others.  

Self Help Daily was the brainchild (certainly not an only child!) of Paul Short.  He graciously allowed me to have the domain name, and I grabbed it and ran before he changed his mind.  Fortunately, he was gracious to the end and I now have a grand new toy to play with. 

SHD has very big plans.  It doesn’t even think of itself as a blog, it fancies itself more of an online magazine, a blogazine if you will. The people on this side of the blog blogazine are thoroughly addicted to magazines - (between us I’d say we pretty much cover half of the ones in circulation!) - so it seemed like a pretty cool idea to take what we love about this particular addiction and put it on the web.

Health, fitness, inspiration, education, family life, relationships, movie reviews (deep breath), CD reviews, entertainment, self help, news, restaurant reviews, beauty, fashion….. Now might be a good time to modify the big in “big plans” - let’s make that “mungo fat plans.”

Tons of additions will be coming into place over the next few weeks. We really hope you’ll bookmark us and check back often.  We promise to have something for everyone.  It’s part of our mugo fat plan.
