From Coco & Creme: Study Say's Women Judge Other... →
I wish they had found a study on how men judge those women to see if there is any difference between the studies. I do understand that we live in a judgmental culture but we all have our problems so I think women should try to be a little more understanding of each other.
Forbes
Have you ever looked through the Forbes list? Not just read the list online but looked through the magazine?
As I was looking for pictures for my vision book, I was looking through a Forbes magazine I have and looking at their 400 list. There were a few things that stood out to me on it. The first being that all these people dealt in very different realms: fashion, electronics,alcohol, stock...

Make-up info on J.Cole's "Work Out" video →
Told you I would find out what make-up these girls were wearing. Too bad most of the makeup look are from MAC’s Pro store (exclusive to only make-up artists) but I’m sure someone will find dupes (similar but not the same) for them or they can be found on ebay.

WatchSo after watching LaLa’s Full Court Life tonight, I just had to look up Kelly Rowland’s skin care and beauty secrets. If you saw her tonight, specifically the scene where her, LaLa, and co. are in the kitchen and her skin looks flawless.
I found this video on Essence.com where Kelly talks about her hair, makeup, and skin care choices. The important things she seems to mention are...

The Style and Beauty Doctor Helps Me Out →
I’ve been following Danielle a.k.a. The Style and Beauty Doctor’s blogs for years ever since I found it through Fashion Bomb Daily. I especially love her make up post because she always updates you on the latest new make up and gives you great advice for all skin tones. On top of that, she’s funny. So I decided to email in and ask a question and she responded within hours,...
My Eyebrow Plea
So every few years the “in” thing changes. Apparently eyebrows are no exception. I remember being younger and thin eyebrows used to be the issshh. Girls would tweeze, wax, and shave their eyebrows into oblivion. Of course, there were also the girls who shaved off their eyebrows completely and just drew on the desired amount. *sigh* Well now in the past couple of years the tides have...

"Jealousy is the ugliest trait."
And any other variation of a quotation about jealousy being such a terrible thing.
Well I never thought of it that way. I always thought it was one of the most motivating feelings you could feel.
The issue with jealousy(envy) is people are not taught what to do with it other than try to suppress it which really does not for you. Part of the pain that comes from jealousy should force you to step...

I think I realized this at a crucial time in my life. Senior year in college and I feel like everything is moving and shifting including myself. I’ve moved on from some people (and things), added some new ones in my life, and had some things move closer or further. All of this shifting causes some empty spaces (at least temporarily) and what I’ve discovered, even though I’m...
I remember being younger and hearing all this stuff about how hip hop music taught kids to be violent and to disrespect women. I never got it but one thing I do get is that if you listen to it constantly enough, for enough time it will definitely influence you. Maybe the way you talk, maybe the way you dress, maybe how you look at the world. I know one way that hip hop has influenced me is that...

FML
So I was going to write a blog about how much I hate the phrase “F.M.L.” and everything it stands for, how I think it is overly dramatic and used way too loosely but then as I was thinking about it I thought maybe its supposed to be funny
I wanted to say ironic but I had an english teacher give a cute but informative rant about how there’s a difference between irony and things...

Stop being a perfectionist!
So I haven’t written a blog post in lets say about 6 months. I would love to say that I have just been sooo busy but that hasn’t been the case. I would say the reasons I haven’t posted can be summed up like this: 1/4 of the time I actually had stuff to do, 1/4 of the other time I was busy with drama I brought upon myself *smh* and the last 1/2 I was just too scared. I would...

Our parents, Our lessons
At a certain point we stop thinking our parent(s) are the smartest, fastest, strongest, people on earth. This soon leads us to not admire them as much as we did before. Sometimes this happens w/out us even knowing it. We began to look to other people for inspiration whether we still admire them or not. I personally don’t think this is a terrible thing just disappointing.

Happily Ever After
The only thing I’ve figured as far as relationships/love/marriage is there is no happily ever after u r always gonna have 2 work 4 ur happiness in life whether ur single or w/ a partner. There is no switch button where u get 2 stop trying. Although I still don’t have it all figured out (or even most of it figured out) I’m pretty sure knowing this will come in handy.

Gettin' Ready
Rarely am I complaining about bad things happening to me in life *knocks on wood* but I often complain about not getting the good things in life that I think I deserve or being where I think I should be at.
I’m doing my best to stop at those times and think now. Are you really ready for what you want? Do you deserve it? Have you worked hard for it? Does it need to get here right now? Will...
Vogue Black and Vogue Curvy
So I hear that alot of people are upset since Vogue launched these separate websites. Am I the only one who is not offended? I feel like it is a good way to test the water. If nobody likes to read these then its easy for them to say the readers do not care about Black or Curvy girls. If they become very popular then people who complain about these women not being included in the magazine will...
