RiRi and M.A.C. cosmetics part deux

Here is a look at Rihanna's RiRi Woo lipstick from her new collection with M.A.C.

Dear...19 year old self

I was watching a video by Tarenguy or Taren916 on Youtube, the other day the series was called "A Women's Perspective [dating]. One of the questions it was asked what would you tell your younger self well I started to thinking really hard and boy are there so many things I'd like to say to my younger self. I mean I am still young I guess (25) and I still make mistakes in dating but I have way more wisdom than I was say when I was 18 or 19.

I heart Wedge Sneakers

I called this trend like 3 yrs ago in my fashion forecasting course. No one was feeling it at first but then they came around. Now everywhere you turn someone has them on. I love them so much, but sadly this trend will eventually fade away like other fads. But until then enjoy these photos.

Destiny and goals

    Have you ever awaken to the feeling that maybe you aren't doing what you were to be doing, or thought you were meant to be doing? Well, I wake up like this all the time. They always say tell God your plans and he will laugh. This statement is probably the most truest things I've ever heard. Nothing I thought was in my plans has come true, every goal I have set, plans I've ever made. Not to say they don't eventually come true in some way, I mean they do but just not in the timing I'd like them too.

I love Essence Mag, but whatt!

Although the vision of the magazine industry is decaying more and more every quarter, I still sub to man of them. After reading EIC of Essence Mag leaves I realized maybe now is the time to just wait to sub to this one. I read Essence from time time to time, and enjoyed issue I purchased however I did notice a difference, not in a bad way though. Well regarding the article it is said that the new owners made this decision to dismiss the current EIC, Constance White. Someone I look up to because I have always wanted to work in the mag industry ever since I was younger, and I used to read a few other mags she was and editor at. She's is very intelligent and will definitely bounce back soon. Now back to Essence Mag I hope they can come up with some good content and keep their old customers happy. Until then I will be saving my subscription money for now.

Making your own destiny, not waiting for it to happen

Sorry I haven't been able to post anything in a while now, but I have been kind of occupied with some work things the last few weeks. I try my darnedest to post at least once a day but I just can't find the time. I need money at the moment, and although this is want I want to do with my life it's not paying my bills at the moment. So until I can get my life back on track there are going to be only a few posts here and there. I love you guys so much for reading my posts, and like them and reposting them. It brings me joy and reassurance that this is what I want to do, as long as God allows.

Why do men blame the other women?

Why do men blame the other women when they screwed up?

I have not been on this planet for that long, 25 years. I have no true experience in the love department, never had a relationship before. But I know a lot about a lot of things in regards to relationships due to my friendships with people and being the problem solver. Plus I read, a lot of things. It's like saying to Dr.Drew you can't help addicts because you have never been an addict. Or telling a Dr who treats Cancer patients he can't do it because he has never had cancer. Just because I have never been in a relationship, doesn't mean I don't know a thing or two about them. And I am not one of those people who go pushing my thoughts and feelings around, I talk common sense. Everything in life is about common sense Case in point, I listen to the radio, read blogs, and watch reality shows all of these things coincide with one another. They all feature things about the other entity. Reality stars are on the radio and blogs, bloggers are on reality shows, and radio djs are on both the blogs and reality shows. Recently a DJ has confirmed that he has been stepping out on his wife. With who? We aren't technically sure, but there is speculation that its reality star. When it came out weeks ago that this girl and him had been shacking up, or used to mess around I must admit I couldn't believe it. Not because of the girl, that I can believe. But because of the DJ. He always seems so happily married. He used his station to set the record straight, and I believe everyone deserves a second chance so I hope he and his wife get it together; plus she is preggers, so yea. Anyhoo, I say all that to say he has said some not so nice things about this girl. Not to say she doesn't deserve it. But why is it every time a man is caught cheating the girl is all kinds of names. She wasn't all these things when you were kicking it. I watch all these talk shows like Ricki Lake, Bill cunningham, Steve, Jerry, you name them I watch em. But they all feature cheating men and women on daily bases, and the first thing people do is deny that anything ever happened. Then they either confess, or the lie detector says the truth. Or there is a mystery guest. Once the mistress comes out she is all types of hoes, b*****s, c***s, skanks, I mean you name the insult and they've said it. But why wait until you get caught to say these things. You taking this women out, treating her like you're her man to clubs and dinners. Introducing her to your homes, then all of a sudden this girl is every word in the book. We don't know the exact details of the affair but we do know it happened. And we will know more when her book comes out of course. The DJ blasted this girl calling her "beneath him" and a "bird". What does that make him, this nice man who cheated on his wife, but because he was forced to confess it's okay now? He in my opinion is just as many bad names as she is. I never understand why people blame the other person for there wrong doing. It took two people to be low down. I just feel sorry for his preggers wife and kids. I hope they can work it out. But blaming the other women won't make this problem go away; esp since there is a book coming out. If this DJ is the God fearing man then he should know that God will handle her and not to worry.

My Vlogging/blogging journey

My Vlogging/blogging journey.

A lot of people don't understand how awesome my job is. I didn't choose this life, or career; it chose me. When I was in college in 2009 I started watching a lot of Youtube videos for projects in school. One day I was recommended a video by Dulce Candy, which I have no idea why because I had only watched music videos before that. I just fell in love with that world of being a guru. I fell for the giltz and the glam side of it, not the actual fact that you have to work hard to get there. I just wanted the free stuff, and money of course. When I finally got my Macbook I felt a part of the club I could make videos now, edit them. I enjoyed making videos at times but something was just missing. Same thing with blogging something was missing. I think it was the love of doing them both, I was just caring about what I could get out of it not who I could help. Then I started writing from my heart and saw how fun it could be to help people, reach people and talk about things that I loved like fashion and beauty.  Not until 2 years later, when I was unemployed that I realized I could really do this as a job and get paid for it.

I did everything on my own. I never contacted a designer or consultant for my website I just did it the way I thought would bring viewers and it worked. I mean I was up to a few hundred viewers a day. Not the much but to me it was a whole lot. But once my internet went out I just couldn't consistently post things like I was before and I lost a lot of views because of it. That made me sad at first but it is what it is. I have learned that I cannot control everything in the universe. I can only move on from there. This dream I will never give it up because it just brings me joy to know I am informing people on things that I love. Or possibly helping someone who may have the same issues I have. I mean what is there not to love about my job. Research, writing, organization and fashion all the things I love to do.

Oscars Dresses, winners and more.

Alexis Mabille

Dior

Donna Karen atelier

First I'd like to say congrats to Jennifer Lawrence on her 1st of hopefully many Oscars. I don't why, but I love her. I have never even seen anything she has been in. One day I rent all of her movies.
I pretty much guessed all the winners of the major categories, like, Best Supporting Actress Anne Hathaway. I have never seen Les Miz in person, or on the big screen but why not right. Best Motion Picture, Argo, never seen it either. I haven't seen any of the nominees or winners. Day Day-Lewis for Lincoln. I have been wanting to see Brave, winner of Best Animated feature film. Biggest winner of the night was Life of Pi, including best Director. Yay for Adele winning best song for the Bond movie.

Miu Miu

Roberto Cavalli

Tadashi Shoji

Versace

I don't have a fave. I love them all so much. But I think it's gonna "Kelly Rowland". I mean she looks good and it fits the way a dress is supposed to. Some people just never get it right I will not say who, but she just always dresses wrong for her body type. And love this women she is hilarious, and an amazing actress but her stylist isn't doing it right. Someone needs to pull her aside and say you are beautiful, show your arms!!
