Frienemies

Ladies, let's kill these fake friendships... I'm exhausted trying to keep up with all the daggers and jabs being thrown.

This is so hilarious, yet so true to life... Do yourself a favor and cut the drama out of your life in all areas.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Today is officially the last day of my 20’s… such a milestone huh? I remember being afraid of turning 30. I remember feeling like 30 was so far away… I was very young and naive in thinking that 30 were really all that old. My taste has evolved into that of a mature woman. I remember my very first “sex on the beach” almost 8 years ago… I was all about my sweet fruity cocktails, now I prefer my martinis very dirty. Forever21 and Wet Seal were some of my favorites… I used to think Banana Republic and Zara were for ‘boring’ girls… I had to laugh at myself looking back on all of the things I thought were cool.

Orange County Wrap up

The St. Regis is one of my all time favorite hotels for many reasons. Reason number one being that whilst traveling as often as I do it’s great to have luxury brands offer some sort of rewards or points system. Paired with the points earned from American express you could end up with a great stay for next to nothing. The St. Regis Dana Point is absolutely stunning. While there I had a fresh berry signature cocktail made with a blend of several fresh berries with Vodka. Soooooooo good!

Newest additions to the Makeup bag

With the fall season approaching I decided to add a few good products to my makeup bag. In effort to switch out my cool summer colours for that of a warmer tone, I decided upon a few glosses and a few good bronzers/blush pallets.

He's got to go!

Get your life with my Throwback Jam of the day. With all this talk of relationships I decided to share what I'm listening to at this exact moment. 

Hairspiration & Hair Anniversary

I look like I'm "Working at the Pyramid tonight" hunni!

As many of you know I’m on my natural hair journey. With all the joys of having healthier, natural hair also comes a few down points. This month is my actual hair-anniversary I’m going into my second year post transitioning for about a year. I’m sure many of naturals have gone through that awkward hair moment when your one twist-out away from ending it all and getting back on the creamy crack. Don’t get me wrong… I love my natural curls but the convenience that comes with relaxed hair is nice. So after months of braids and protective styles I wanted to celebrate my hair anniversary with my natural hair pressed as a way to mark my journey.

Angry Much?

 "The moment " I think I'm giving up on black women... You guys always are angry or wake up angry".... I'm going to say something. But if your girl is angry every time she wakes up maybe she's angry because she wakes up to YOU every morning. I'm sure the days she sleeps alone she is fine. Stop making comments like this... We are NOT all alike and maybe just maybe it's something about you that sets her off. (Or just the sight of your face)" 

One of my Facebook friends put up this stat in response to men calling black women angry. Although I myself am a black woman I decided to focus on all women not just black women. I honestly believe that all women go through similar things. This post is my attempt to take a few steps back and go at this topic from both sides...

So Hard To Say Goodbye

My cell phone was stolen over the weekend and I’m over here dying! The grieving process is in full effect and I’m experiencing all of the symptoms. Denial and Isolation, Anger… I wanted to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Bargaining… I wanted to hang fliers and offer a cash reward!  Depression... I slept all day yesterday. Now I’m Accepting the fact that she’s gone… God, why her??? She was the best! There will never be another…. 

Us together in Vegas

New phone arrives Tuesday...

Fake It Till You Make It?

“What I see is trying to make sure that everybody thinks you have more than what you actually have. What’s the point if you actually don’t have it? If you don’t have it, then you don’t have it. Have what you have. Enjoy that . . . The craft is everything. Don’t be afraid of not being the wealthiest person in the room. Be the smartest person in the room. Be the slickest person in the room. Be the most creative person in the room. Be the most entertaining person in the room. Just be in the room.”  

                                                                                 -Jill Scott-
  

This is a quote by Jill Scott in response to the music industry and how “most” musicians feel the need to pretend they have more than they do or act to be someone they are not. I am not in the music industry however I believe this is something I see all the time on social media.

They "Tried It"

 

Lord, why is this picture so funny to me? This is not the face of a sane person! I’m telling you this man is about to SNAP off in 2.5 seconds. This is the face you make when somebody lying on you to your face, This is the face you make when you sign up for something on the internet that says free and they charge your ass $200. This is the face you make when you buy a dress to wear out, you get home and the damn security tag is still on it. This is the face you give when a funny acting hoe ask you if you’re wearing “pack hair” Chile I can NOT with Kanye… 

Let's bow our heads and pray that this man fights his demons. I understand him... I honestly do. People will push you until they get a reaction out of you. We have to be smarter than that. There is no way you can defend yourself against every person that "tries it." Just let it go and let your actions prove who you truly are.

The Boiling Crab

I tried to go on without writing a post about this place… I wanted to keep it all to myself… It’s just to good to keep a secret. What is this place you ask? The Boiling Crab. OMG!!! I am OBSESSED with The Boiling Crab… God it feels good to get that out! For those of you who are not fortunate enough to have a location near you, the Boiling Crab is a fortress that houses the worlds best food on earth. Maryland Blue Crabs, King Crab, Snow Crab, Crawfish, Shrimp and the list goes on. I know you’re probably saying… that list sound simple enough. Oh but no, imagine all of those delicious items tossed in this sauce. Not just any sauce… but a sauce made out of unicorn tears and the pot of gold only found at the end of rainbows. I mean addicted is not even the word. I’m ready to go there now and it's 6 in the morning. 

Randomness In My Head

Have you ever gotten to the point where you out-grow yourself? The kinds of books I would normally read and the places I usually like to go no longer suit me. I know who I am as a person but my taste is changing. I guess it’s another part of growth. 

Nothing was the same...

... Indeed! Nothing was the same once I put drake on in the ride. I haven't taken it out since. As I’m sure most of you know Drakes album dropped this week. It’s no surprise I’m here for it! With that being said, I’m not going to recap the album because chile... I am stuck on track #4. No Lie… I skip around from time to time but this “Wu-Tang Forever” has my heart. I just can’t find the strength to take it off repeat. Hopefully you will love it as much as I do!
