Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in Hawaii

I'm just going to give a short opinion on the last 2 Hawaii Episodes.  I must say the Hawaii episodes have been refreshing to me after all the chaos of the series, which I am not going to even mention because it's so annoying!!!! Brandi made me laugh on the plane and when they all arrived to Hawaii.  She so was cute and funny.  I want to be friends with Brandi.  We would definitely have  a good time.  Wow Brandi is skinny!  Camille looks AMAZING in a bikini!!  Lisa's comments were hilarious and I thought Lisa looked FABULOUS!  Lisa and Ken appear to have a great marriage.  They are role models to a recently married chick like me!  I liked seeing POWER COUPLE Paul and Adrienne connecting...I love them!!! I feel like I am with the girls on this trip!  I WISH I WAS in Hawaii!  Watching Kim and Ken is frustrating...TRAIN WRECK.  When Adrienne and Paul were saying "good stuff" about Ken and he complained that was weird.  You can tell he has some type of mental issue(s).  Everybody is really surprised at Kim and Ken being tardy for everything...BUT I am not.  Kim has missed most of the season..Why would she join the group now?  If I was going to Hawaii I would be early and excited.  Like really excited.  I've been there before and LOVED Hawaii.  Anyway..Kim aka former child star just isn't fazed by the trip.  Obviously it doesn't impress or excite her.  What a spoiled brat!  I want to like Kim and I do believe that her "issues" have impacted her behavior.  I know that Kyle may seem hard at times, but I understand.  When Kyle and Lisa jumped the balcony it reminded me of my college days...That is totally something I would have done in the same situation...Kyle and Lisa looked like girlfriends having a good time!  Anyway...When you are on a "group" trip and have "group" activities then your group members expect you to do group activities together.  Certainly you can have time ALONE...but when you miss 2 planes and then over sleep for three days it becomes annoying and totally disrespectful to the rest of the group.  IF Ken and Kim didn't want to go on the  catamaran boat then just say I don't want to go.   Don't make up excuses....I HATE excuses.  When you are late and don't want to explain to everybody why  not just say...I don't want to talk about it and I apologize for being late.  I kept replaying Ken saying "we don't care" because it makes me laugh out loud.  It's so rude, but makes for good reality TV.  On another note Happy Birthday Mauricio who had a new name in this episode..Maurice (Kim calls him that) Kyle stated on twitter that other people call him that and it isn't anything new.  I am glad she let us know because it was annoying me.  I hope to see more of the housewives traveling..Makes for great episode(s) xoxo

Staying FIT: Addicted to Soda aka Soda Junkie

Okay so this may sound ridiculous, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE drinking soda.  I am a total soda addict and or junkie!!!!  I drink soooo much soda and I know it is unhealthy for you and can add on weight.  I am trying to drink water, milk, and orange juice instead.  It works...But I still crave SODA> YUCK I know.  I would love to hear your tips on what to drink.  I used to drink diet green tea and I found that the "fake" sugar made me crave sweet snacks...I still drink diet green tea sometimes.  I thought if I changed to drinking soda that I would be able to do it in moderation, but I can't seem to do this.  Should I go COLD TURKEY?  What are your thoughts?  What do you drink?

Can't keep up with other BLOGS

Just a little note to say HI! I know I haven't blogged in awhile and I am having trouble keeping up!  Between being a mommy, running a business, and going to school I am falling short when it comes to blogging about the Bravo Houswives.  Especially when there are so many AMAZING sites out there and I am a needle in a haystack.  Anyway, I am going 2 continue my blog, but I will be expanding.  I am debating stopping the recaps because there are soooooo many recaps out there.  I wish I could do this for $$$, but so many ppl do it for free.  At least I don't think they're getting paid.  Maybe they are???? I don't know. I would love 2 head up a fan site for a housewife...so ladies if you need a FAN club president DM me on twitter! IN MY DREAMS>>>>>>

RECAP of RHOBH Monday 12/19/2011 "UNINVITED"

Wow this was a tough episode to watch!  I missed "tweeting" during the episode so please leave your comments as I would LOVE to hear your opinion.  I starting searching blogs and Bravo to get other people's opinion and decided to STOP.  I am going to give you my opinion...And it's a little harsh.  I decided to break it down to "fact" and "my opinon".

FACT:  Adrienne and Paul talk about an email sent to Camille from Taylor. This power couple came together to discuss that they thought it was ridiculous for Russell to send Camille a threatening email stating he will sue her for slander.  Paul and Adrienne were worried..Who is next?  They mentioned Camille repeated what Taylor told Camille (and the other girls).
       OPINION:  I agree...I can understand their anxiety about not wanting to be around somebody that is going to threaten to sue a FRIEND for slander when they just REPEATED something they were told.  Camille didn't "make up" what she said..She REPEATED what Taylor told her.
Definition of Slander from www.dictionary.com a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report: a slander against his good name.

FACT:  We see Pandora, Lisa, the wedding planner, and Jason listening to a band audition for Pandora and Jason's wedding.
      OPINION:  This was my FAVORITE part of the episode.   I love watching the wedding planning and wish BRAVO would have decided to do an entire series on this wedding.  Pandora is so cute and down to earth.  Jason and her look so in love.  The wedding planner has extravagant idea's and Lisa decides to take him down and notch and make them realistic and classy.

FACT:  We see Kim having a dinner with 2 of her girls, Kim and Whitney.  The girls notice that Kim is wearing a diamond that looks like an engagement ring.  Kim tells her girls that it is a "promise ring".  This scene was a little uncomfortable as Kim pushed rice around a plate and the three talked about Ken in relation to the ring and him attending the White Party.
        OPINION:   I don't know how I feel about Ken, but I do see that "something isn't right" when it comes to Kim.  She is all about her kids and she didn't look comfortable around them at all...Maybe it was the subject of Ken, maybe it was something that wasn't related...Who knows?  I do know that if you are an adult and you are LIVING with your significant other...Why would you have a promise ring?  Why would you move in with somebody that you don't intend on marrying?  Note to Kim...I would advise not moving in with somebody that doesn't want to marry you (unless you don't believe in marriage).  I'm Just sayin'

FACT:  We see Kyle frantically getting ready for her White Party with her party planner, a large staff, and husband all helping.  Kyle is getting her hair done by her Hairdresser, who of course is attending the party and she makes a comment about "immaturity" of the ladies.  The Hairdresser says something about Taylor and Lisa not getting along and Kyle mentions their new friendship.  Kyle also talks about Ken and that she can't hide her feelings about him.
               OPINION:  Kyle has a LOT of staff helping her with the White Party...There is no reason for her to be so stressed.  It's a party! Why have a party if it causes so much stress?  Also, why does she have such a problem with Ken?  Did she even try to get to know him?  I don't know if he is the "best" thing for Kim, but who are we to judge?  Just be nice to him at the party.  I took note at the fact that all the ladies are really close to their hairdressers. 

FACT:  Adrienne calls Kyle to tell her about Russell threatening to sue Camille and Adrienne isn't sure if she is going to attend the party.  Kyle tells Adrienne to come.
             OPINION:  I don't blame Adrienne for feeling uncomfortable!!!  I don't blame Kyle for wanting everybody to come to the party.

FACT:  The White Party starts and we see people arriving.  There is a valet set up and what appears to be champagne at the front door outside. (note to self I guess Laws are different in CA b/c I didn't think you were allowed to have an alcoholic drink outside of your house on the front lawn).  Anyway, we see the backyard has a lot of decorations.  There are Fatburgers, chandeliers, DJ, sushi....As everybody arrives there is a lot of commotion and Kyle talks with both Adrienne and Lisa.  They all agree Kyle should tell Taylor and Russell not to come to the party.  Lisa and Kyle try to call and text Taylor, but they are unable to get in touch with her.  Maurico and Dr. Paul are involved and they are all moving around the house talking about the issue.  Noticeably Camille is joining the PARTY and NOT involved with the Taylor/Russell issue.  Kyle is sooo upset and we see her crying and having a lot of what appears to be anxiety.
            OPINION:  I do understand that this is a "touchy" situation.  I know that it seems convenient that nobody can get in touch with Taylor and I have a few theories here...1. this was done intentional by Bravo 2.Taylor turned off her phone on the plane and never turned it off 3.Taylor knew there was going to be a problem when they arrived and either avoided the phone calls or turned off her phone intentionally.4.WHO knows...it could be anything and I could be looking too far into it.  PS:  Back to the party decor..I think it looks like an amazing party and would love to attend.  Also, I don't think it's fair that Kyle put so much time and money into this "joyous" occasion and she was crying and upset. 

FACT:  Kim makes a comment about Brandi "looking" at her.  They end up together talking (I don't remember how) and Brandi and her friend Jennifer are standing by Ken and Kim.  Both Ken and Jennifer are quiet through the conversation.  Brandi tries to be nice to Kim and Kim with her ponytail on the top of her head and tiny stomach is just digging and digging at Brandi while Brandi tried to apologize.
         OPINION:  I really felt a lot of pain for both Brandi and Kim here.  I wasn't specific in my "fact" recap because I don't remember exactly what was said, but I do remember that Brandi was really respectful and tried to be nice to Kim.  She admitted to her faults and Kim wouldn't admit to doing anything wrong.  Brandi could have easily yelled at Kim and went off on her, but instead she just let Kim yell at her.  Also, Brandi's friend didn't say a word.  Jennifer could have easily gotten upset that Kim was pretty much "going off" on her friend, but Jen also took the high road and just stood beside her friend.  I am shocked that Ken didn't step in. Jennifer and Ken could have EASILY gotten involved for better or worse. I felt pain for Kim because it's obvious her problems have nothing to do with Brandi.  However, Kim was SOOOO out of line and I have to give KUDOS to Brandi for trying to be kind and for not "flipping out."  Most people would not be able to handle themselves with such class when another woman is being verbally abusive on National TV at a PARTY.  PS I hope Kim gets better, resolves her issues, and I REALLY HOPE Kim eventually apologizes to Brandi.

FACT:  We see Russell and Taylor in a limo looking VERY HAPPY.  Russell states that they will be the last people to leave and he has a bottle of what I think is VODKA.  They mention that they flew home from Las Vegas just to be at the White Party...and that because it's Kyle that is one of the reasons they left Vegas..Taylor says there are few people she would leave Vegas for and one of them are Kyle.  Also, we hear Russell saying something about him being "good" now so they are "okay"
           OPINION:  Wow!  What a change..We see a VERY pleased/ happy couple in this scene, which is odd.  They look like they are working at their marriage and trying to understand each other's feelings.  Side note:  I thought they were broke.  How are they flying to Dallas and Vegas if they are broke?  Where is Kennedy?  Did she stay home with Taylor's assistant or join the vacation?  Why does Taylor need an assistant?  THE ONE THING THAT BOTHERED ME was the "good boy" comment.  I don't understand if they are talking about domestic abuse and now he is "good" because he isn't going to be abusive?  OR Is the good comment in relation to Russell being worried all the time and not being social?  Is he "good" now because he is understanding his wife's needs and because he is going to be social with her?  I don't like how ambiguous this comment was ...it leaves us not really knowing what they are talking about and it is relevant to their "story". 

FACT:  Russell and Taylor's limo pulls up to Kyle's house and Kyle, Adrienne, Paul, and Mauricio (I'm not sure if Ken was with them) come out of the front door to meet Russell and Taylor and speak to them.  Kyle is having a hard time explaining what is going on and between the entire group they explain to Taylor and Russell that there is an issue with an email he sent to Camille.  Taylor says she knew he sent an email, but didn't know what it said.  Kyle is hysterically crying.  Russell asks the group what to do and is told that they should leave.  Taylor makes a sarcastic comment telling everybody to "have fun at your party".  Russell and Taylor walk back to the limo and Kyle runs after them crying.  Once she gets to the limo Kyle says that Camille was just repeating what Taylor told her.  Taylor says that Camille stated an exaggerated version of what Taylor actually told Camille.  Adrienne and Kyle say "no" Camille just stated exactly what Taylor has told them too.
               OPINION:  I think Kyle was dramatic, but I really do understand why she was so upset.  She had to uninvite a friend that she knew was going through a rough time.  Taylor was sarcastic with her and I don't think that helped.  I think Kyle naturally felt bad about the situation.  This scene speaks VOLUMES and really bothers me.  IN previous episodes Russell to me looked like a stressed man, not an abuser.  I get that there is more to a marriage than on a TV show.  I don't get why an abused woman would go to Las Vegas to A BACH party with strippers, or how she would put their life on TV...How have we not seen the bruises?  She is in front of the camera or on other shows and/or taking pictures all the time!  I am not saying she lied because I don't know.  Calling a woman that says they were abused a lair doesn't seem right.  I am just saying that I think there has to be a lot more to this story because it doesn't make sense.  The scene that told the most was when they were in the LIMO.  Russell looked really CONFUSED.  Maybe it's his manipulation...But to me it seems like he really thought Camille made up lies.I think he was wrong to threaten to sue, but if they were "lies" as he believed ~it would be slander. It looked to me like Taylor lied to her hubby about what she said and what Camille said...If he really was an abuser and broke her jaw why would she be going to marriage counseling and taking trips with him?  Why would she stay in the LIMO with a man that she just "outed"?  I can't begin to understand domestic violence and what women/men experience, but I do know if I had a child and was getting hit I wouldn't go on a TV show and I would definitely leave if I had numerous people offering a safe (lovely) home.  Camille offered for Taylor and Kennedy to LIVE there as did some of the other women...Taylor had somewhere to go and no reason to stay if the allegations are true.  SIDE NOTE:  I try to NOT comment on this because I don't want to call Taylor or Russell a "liar" .  The entire situation is just odd and Russell looked so perplexed.  It looked to me like his wife was lying to him. 
In additon:
Russell messed with the wrong person.  Camille has EXCELLENT attorneys and way too much money to lose to deal with BS like this!!! She was smart to listen to her lawyer and NOT say a word to Russell.  Why would Camille make this up?  Why would all the ladies make this up?  What do they have to gain by all "lying"?  Nothing.  I do believe that Taylor told them EXACTLY what Camille said about the abuse...Now whether Taylor or Russell were lying...Who knows.  All I know is this was uncomfortable to watch and I am sick of the sad drama.  There should be NO domestic abuse on reality TV and in light of this whether Taylor was being truthful or not I think that Bravo should fire her/lay her off.  Somebody involved to this degree with domestic abuse and suicide shouldn't be on TV.  If Russell did abuse her then I feel really sorry for Taylor and feel sad that she is being looked upon as a "villain"...If Russell didn't abuse her then I really feel bad for him.  In the end I feel bad for all of his kids.  They shouldn't have to deal with this...It's too sad.  They lost their father and now this public information is going to hurt them even if they don't watch the show.
What is your opinion????
