Ice Cream Is Delicious And Healthy!

ICE CREAM IS DELICIOUS AND HEALTHY!

We love this dessert. It is perfect for a little afternoon snack or for a special occasion. It is rich, sweet and healthy.

Sure, really healthy! Ice cream is made from milk and has protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber. It gives you an energy boost. It is the perfect pick-me-up when you are studying and cools you off in the summer heat.

Ice cream is our favorite summer food. And while it is healthy, it should be eaten in moderation. If not, like anything, it can go from being healthy to being unhealthy.

And don’t worry if you can’t eat dairy or sugar. There are ice creams for everyone. Sorbet does not have milk or dairy in it, and there are special ice creams at the ice cream shop that come without sugar. So there is no reason not to eat ice cream!

In winter you can also eat ice cream, but it is not as popular as in the summer, for sure. In the winter try a scoop of vanilla with a cup of hot chocolate or ice cream over a hot brownie. Happy


Noise Pollution!


There are only a couple of games left and the World Cup will come to an end. Today we are going to tell you about an important piece of news from the World Cup, the vuvuzelas.

Maybe you know what they are? If not, a vuvuzela is a sort of trumpet that has been responsible for irritating millions of people at the World Cup.

This sort of noise maker is popular and common in South Africa and is always used in soccer or football games. While South Africans are used to the sound, other teams and visitors were not used to the loud noise the  vuvuzelas made.

It is ok to use a noise maker like this to cheer on you team. However, the vuvuzelas annoyed almost everyone, including players, and thisis what caused some problems.

The noise created by thousands of vuvuzelas was overwhelming. In fact, the noise that the vuvuzelas became noise pollution. Not just cars and traffic cause pollution, pollution can also come in an audio form.

Besides bothering people, many videos and even CDs have been made using vuvuzelas as the main musical instrument. Some of them are really funny. If you just can’t get enough vuvuzela, you could always buy the CD pictured above!

Selena Gomez Covers Selena Quintanilla

Selena Gomez gets into the groove as she belts out “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom,” one of Selena Quintanilla’s biggest hits during her concert on Sunday night (February 7) at the San Antonio Rodeo.

The 17-year-old actress who was named after the slain Latina popstar has once said, “My dad and family loved her. So when my mother got pregnant with me, he wanted to name me Selena, after her. As I got older and could understand why I was named after her, I went to go visit her grave and where she used to perform.”

And yes, Selena’s rumored boyfriend Nick Jonas was in the audience supporting her. Check out the video below!

Who Is Justin Bieber Really?

We have all heard lots about this cute 15-year old boy with the great smile and voice. But how did he become the star he is today?

Justin was born in Ontario Canada almost 16 years ago. He is quite the musician and can play the guitar, trumpet and the drums.

About three years ago Justin’s mom started uploading his videos onto Youtube. Some of these videos of him playing were so good that they started getting hits from thousands of viewers, which over time turned Justin into a real phenomenon.

He made and released his first CD last November. It is called My World and it has helped him become even more famous.

Last week he was at the Grammy Awards and got to present two awards to their winners. He talked about this experience on Twitter: “In a small town a kid started putting videos on the web, and three years later I sang with some of my heros. I am so grateful!”

Justin is a big fan of Rihanna and Beyonce, and now he is a star for many of the fans of these two pop divas.  We bet that this year Justin will turn into one of the top musicians out there, and we plan to be there to watch him grow! Shoot for the stars Justin!
