It has been a tough week here in America. On Tuesday, news broke that an innocent man by the name of Alton Sterling was shot and killed by a police officer (for no reason whatsoever). The shooting captured worldwide attention, and many took to social media to express their feelings on this tragedy. Dozens of celebrities expressed their feelings, but there is one celebrity that didn't express themselves in a proper way: Mischa Barton.

The 30-year-old actress took to social media and posted a photo of herself on a boat, wearing a bikini. In her hand was a glass of wine. Along with the photo was the following message:
"I’m truly heart broken to watch videos like the #altonsterling execution. This may have been going on forever in the United States but thank god the pigs get caught on camera now. Its unthinkable and an embarrassment to America. The country I was brought up in. Somebody make change. We need gun control and unity. And a real President so think about that when this election is around the corner. The world is a precarious place right now. #stop #reflect and #act appropriately."
She got an earful from her "fans" as they called her out on her insensitive tribute to Alton Sterling.

My Two Cents

While I understand that Mischa Barton wanted to pay tribute to Sterling, she did it the wrong way. Posting a photo of yourself on a boat in paradise is not the right message to send right now. Maybe an inspirational quote (calling for gun control, slamming police brutality, etc), or a video message...anything but this photo.

To me, Mischa Barton comes off snooty in this photo. It's too "white privilege" for me.

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.
