Martha Stewart calls Blake Lively's new lifestyle career "stupid."

-
At long last, Martha Stewart (a woman who has made a living teaching the masses how to better their lifestyles) has finally weighed in on the train wreck that is Blake Lively's career move to become a lifestyle guru.
Blake Lively's site, "Preserve" was recently unveiled and it hasn't exactly been getting a warm welcome. People have been calling the site "pretentious" and with good reason. The site reads like the inner workings of a cult leader's brain than of the workings of someone who actually wants to help people. Also, the site sounds like it's geared toward those who can afford to wipe their ass with $100 bills than with Charmin toilet paper.

Ms. Stewart, who happens to be friends with Blake Lively, was at the Atlantic Food and Wine festival when she was asked about her friend's career move.
Here's what she had to say:
"Let her try. I don't mean that facetiously! I mean, it's stupid, she could be an actress! Why would you want to be me if you could be an actress? I just did a movie yesterday, though — I can't even tell you about it — but I want to be Blake Lively."

I guess we will have to see how this whole "lifestyle career move" pans out for Blake Lively. I think she would garner more respect if she simmered down on the snobbish tone and opened up her audience to include us "peons." We need lovin' too!
Blake, PLEEEASE don't quit your day job!

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed.
