From penning a novel about twins to starting his own car club, the always honest Frank Ocean is opening up to his fans about what’s on his mind in a new letter posted on his Tumblr page.
“I’ve possibly lost all religion. I’ve sunken into passivity in certain areas of my life,” muses the “Thinkin Bout You” singer on deep subjects along with random thoughts like, “I eat steaks again now” to “Oreos don’t work with almond milk.”
He also speaks about his recent studio session with Jay-Z and Pharrell (“I wonder how many trophies are lodged in their minds”), moving from L.A. to New York or Tokyo, and lessons in love (“The number one rule in relationships is to never just leave”).
While candid, the letter is nowhere near as revelatory as the one he penned earlier this year, in which he told the world that he had once loved a man. Since then, fans have embraced the Odd Future member for his truthfulness and his popularity has only grown.
Read Frank’s letter in its entirety below.

According to her blog, Tami Roman decided to turn to the diet pill ‘NV’ to help her lose weight and ended up dropping two sizes and 12 pounds in two weeks. She’s now chronicling her journey on her website in hopes of encouraging others. She writes:
I’m really big on research and when I decided to use a weight loss product, I read reviews on all the hot market items. I opted for NV for the following reason ONLY…When you read the above the line in diet/ appetite suppressants, most of them have caffeine. What I liked about NV was that even though they have caffeine in them, that is NOT their focus.[…]I used as directed and lost 5lbs in seven days. Most importantly, I lost inches, especially around my waist area. During week two, I incorporated the NV Sprinkles along with the supplements, walked 15 minutes per day and lost an additional 7lbs. My target is to lose a total of 25 lbs in weight. And, so far, I have gone from a size 12/14 to a size 8/10 in 14 days! YAY!
I am really excited about what is happening in my life health wise. Besides walking 15 minutes a day, I drink 64oz of water daily and have started to eat more healthy, but that is a process LOL. I love my oxtails, beef patties and red velvet cheesecake. It’s a journey, but so far I’m excited about the outcome.
