The third day of New York City’s Electric Zoo music festival was canceled by the mayor’s office this weekend, following the tragic deaths of two twenty-something revelers.

According to police reports, the victims — 20-year-old Olivia Rotondo of Providence, R.I., and 23-year-old Jeffrey Russ of Rochester, N.Y. — allegedly overdosed on “Molly,” a potent, supposedly “friendlier” form of MDMA used by millions of partygoers every single year. Here’s what you should know about it:

Real Life Stories: A Tisanoreica Weight Loss Diary… Looking and Feeling Great

Real Life Stories: A Tisanoreica Weight Loss Diary… Looking and Feeling Great

Date: Saturday, August 3, 2013

Name: Nicole

Age 30 (for 6 more days)

Current Weight: 127 lbs.  (Starting weight: 135 lbs.)

Height: 5’8″

Everything was fairly straight  forward, I ate pretty well and the Tisanoreica team was really good about supporting me throughout the whole process, especially in answering all of my questions (which if you read my last post, you know I had a ton). Not to mention that I am down some, although not all, of the weight I was hoping to lose and feeling pretty good about it.
