Did you know that popcorn (plain) is actually a rather healthy snack?! Well, yes it is! The white fluffy kernels, which are whole grains, are a great source of fiber as well as protein. Popcorn also contains B vitamins which is good too… not to mention that it’s low in calories ;) So, if you’ve ever been in search of a snack that tastes good and doesn’t cause you to worry about adding on a few extra pounds, try popping a bag! It takes only minutes of course! Popcorn is inexpensive and it’s worth it. It’s a healthy snack that both kids and adults can enjoy!

Our YBStar, Niles Fitch definitely has swagger! Niles is a cute kid with lots of style and he definitely knows how to show it off in his outfits. In this outfit, Niles is rocking a nice Ralph Lauren Polo vest, bow tie, and slacks; a simple, yet well put together ensemble! I’d say Niles’ appearance is very age appropriate and classy. The dressiness is not over done and I’m sure this type of an outfit would bring lots of compliments to such an adorable little boy!

Similar vests like the one Niles is wearing can be found at Macy’s in several different colors. The pants most likely are available at Macy’s as well. Next time you boys/guys are out looking for a nice casual outfit, think of Niles!

The future can only hold good things for this little beauty.

 

YBStar Haben Abraham and her sisters, Lianda and Salina, make up the trio The EriAm Sisters. With Haben only being 11 years old, Salina 13, and Lianda 15, these girls are well on their way! In my opinion they have good music! Their songs No More, What I Wanna Be, and Never Let Go are really nice. My favorite of the three is What I Wanna Be, a song about future dreams and goals. I think it’s very cute :) Haben, Salina, and Lianda all have very beautiful voices. If you have not heard their music or checked them out before, visit their Myspace Page HERE. Listen to their music and show them love!

I may be late but I’m really feeling Jennifer Hudson’s music right now! Her self-titled album which was released in September of 2008 has some really nice songs on it! Jennifer Hudson, in my opinion, has a very powerful and unique voice and I love it. In February 2009, Jennifer released her EP – If This Isn’t Love… Another very nice song that I like. Jennifer Hudson’s album and EP can both be found on iTunes. Check out the music video for If This Isn’t Love by clicking READ MORE!
