Ms. Makeup


I went on vacation to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving this year and It was nothing to do! We went to Big Lots just to look around and I ran straight to the makeup section. I'm always looking for a discount! I saw these beauty books that included a mirror, 4 eye shadows, 2 blushes, 2 lip glosses and 2 double ended applicators! With names like Sultry Siren, Natural Necessities, Big Night out and Red Carpet Ready I couldn't pass this up! As a bonus it gives detailed instructions on how to get the perfect look! The retail price is 5.99 but I got all four of them for 2.50 each what a steal!

You can go to http://www.msmakeup.com/ or http://www.drugstore.com/ to find yours!

New Year!!!!!!!!!

With the new year right around the corner everyone is looking for that perfect black dress! Well I found this one online at Target! Its cute and simple and I can wear some over the top shoes and not feel overdone!

I just hope my girls stay put!!!!
What look will you be going for?

Holiday Season

Its already time for the holiday season that includes dancing, drinking and eating too much! I always get concerned about consume too much of everything so I came up with a system to eat a LITTLE of everything but that doesnt work! Any ideas on how to maintain your weight during the holidays?

Put a ring on it?

I love Sasha Fierce and I love the single ladies song! But I got to thinking what happens after they put a ring on it? Speaking from experience a Ring don't mean a damn thing except the fact that you can say you have a rock! I have a 2 carat one myself that I would have traded in for love any day. Being in love with being in love is not a healthy way to live and definitely don't do it for your child because like me you will wake up 6 years later saying "oh oh oh oh oh"!

Another Birthday


I've been so busy with getting back in the groove of school days for my son that I haven't had the energy to post or the words to write but last week marked another year for me! Yep I'm 27 now and I'm starting too feel close to 30. But what does that mean? I thought about things that could be different but they aren't so why fuss about it? I'm smart, funny, friendly, loyal and beautiful inside and out. What more could you ask for?

Blogs.....

I love to read all different types of blogs but lately there is one in particular that ha become so hateful towards Hollywood I refuse to read it anymore. its one thing to comment on a persons outfit or music, but why attack peoples family or character like you know them? why make up stories that you know are ridiculous??

My Good Deed

It is sooooo hot inTexas! I decided that I would do a good deed today after I saw the lady in the mail truck with no a/c jamming her boom box and talking with her bluetooth sweating her perm out! I asked her if she needed some ice water and she surely did! It should be against the law to have those people deliver mail in those conditions!!!!

Tropical Storm?

Yesterday I went to walmart to get water just in case this big hurricane named Eduard touched down in Houston and can you believe that all of the water was gone in that store??? The lines were long and people were going crazy! I try not to over react about storms but how do you decide what is what? So today guess what happened? Nothing!!! So I wonder do those people get a refund on all of those supplies they purchased?

So Sad

Since fathers day I've been keeping up with this story of two missing children. I watched as all these people gathered together to look for them and how the father seemed crazy as hell but the sad news came yesterday when I heard that this man led the police to the burned bodies of his damn kids! My feelings are so hurt because children are so innocent and he let these people look for those children with hopes of finding them alive and he knew all along what he had done!

Here is the story that I found on ABC13.com

HOUSTON -- A man who led police to the charred remains of his two children has been charged with capital murder.
Harris County District Attorney Ken Magidson said Monday that Randy Sylvester Sr. has been held in the county jail without bond since he was arrested Tuesday. Pasadena police say Sylvester assaulted the mother of the children. Now he is charged with killing the children.
No decision has been made on whether to pursue the death penalty.
Police found the remains of 7-year-old Randy Sylvester Jr. and his 3-year-old sister Denim Sylvester packed in a wooden chest and a suitcase and left in a wooded area in southeastern

Summer Hair







All year I go through so many hair changes! I go from braids to weaves and for the summer I like to keep it simple! Since I have naturally curly hair I just set my hair on these rods and let it air dry and keep it oiled up and I'm good to go!






What do you with your hair for the summer?

Shopping fun part 2





While visiting the mall i decided to visit the MAC counter to play around before I talk about my purchase let me speak on the uniform for the employees! I'm talking about thigh high boots mini skirts, corsets and body jewelry!!! I loved every minute of it, besides being scared that a boob would pop out I thought they were very edgy and ready for the club. That actually made me wanna buy make up because they looked so FUN! Any way I got the plush glass in plus lux and also the Solar Field Bronzing Powder in Solar Riche. The plush glass really gives me that sexy as hell look with a little bit of shine and color! The bronzing powder gives me that kissed by the sun look. I'll post some pictures after I beat my face today!!!






Shopping Fun!!!





This weekend was so much fun! I went shopping! I got these sandals from Macy's for 80 bucks! I have big plans for these babies!

To My Brother


Have you ever lost a loved one? If you could talk to them again what would you say? Well I lost my brother a couple of years ago and it seems like yesterday because I miss him so much!



An open letter to my brother may he rest in peace.......



Dear D'Andre,


Where do I start? I miss you so much that it hurts sometimes, I cant believe I'm here to get old alone! We had so many plans for our lives but now I have to find my way solo I will never question why God chose to take you away so soon instead I thank him for the 22 years of your life that you were here. I remember never having a bad day because you always had a solution to fix any problem or a kind word to make me smile. I know you weren't an angel to everyone but you were definitely one for me! I loved your creative mind, your passion for life, your way of never talking bad about someone. Even though you were younger you always made me feel safe and protected when you were around. It was comforting knowing that you were always a call away, I got so attached to you that I never imagined life without you. Your nephew that you named and was able to bond with asks about you often and we can only say that you are watching him from heaven. Its so funny he wont let anyone else cut his hair without begging or threatening him. Mommy Is doing okay but misses you terribly these 3yrs have been gone by so quickly and its like we are stuck in time and confused by it all. Bj is in college and refuses to let the things that make black men crack get in his way. I wont keep you long just wanted you to know that I love you And thought of you today.

Crime

I'm so sick of seeing young men and women making the decision to kill or rape someone! I'm addicted to crime shows like CSI but my weakness is the real deal like the first 48. I'm noticing a that even with the morning news I turn it in and hear about something that happened and I'm praying that its not someone I know or someone my color. It makes me angry because we have so many opportunities I just wish we would listen or just pay attention to the bigger picture! Don't leave your kids out here to figure out which way to go on with no guidance!!

Most of the time we don't really know whats going on unless it directly affects us but there is a mean world out there and its getting worse! In my neighborhood last week a 19 yr old guy started at fire at what he thought was his rival's house and ended up killing someones grandmother! This mornings news informed me of another youth shooting a police officer. I mean damn go sit your ass down somewhere.

Flavor of Love


I watched the finale of Flavor of Love last night and I must say that even though I don't believe its actually reality T.V. Im glad that he chose a "nice" woman. I say nice because she's not video girl looking but normal well almost. Im as impressed as I can be.

Made me think

I found out earlier last week that a classmate of mine passed away from cancer! I was so saddened by this news, but then I realized that things happen the way that they should. All I can do is pray that he had his soul in the right place.

I also wanted to add that life is so short and there are so many things that we think we have to do, or we think we have to get done that we get so caught up in this worldly world that we forget the things that are important like family and friends. So today I want you to take a deep breath and think about your life in a way that takes away the negative and accentuates the positive!

Books

I have a huge book fetish! Since books are released every tuesday, I went to my local (not favorite) book store yesterday, and they didnt have a very big selection of african american authors! Why do you think that is? I have a process: I check walmart first they have african american books at discounted prices but they get the new releases to late! Im too impatient to order online so thats when I go to the book store. Its seems that we arent represented well in some book store chains.

My BabY!!!!


This is a picture of my child running his 5 year old heart out at his track meet on Saturday!! Im so proud of him he placed 6th and 3rd place


The Internet

  • They say the Internet is the information highway and I totally agree! Its so easy to go online and find whatever you need, but it can get addictive. There has been so many times that I have been so busy and only wanted to get online to check my email and it turned into me sitting in front of the computer for a hour. So my question is: Whats worse the Internet or television?
  • While thinking about the Internet I thought about friends! Is it being naive to think that you can meet really good friends online? I'm very trusting at times especially towards females because I don't have very many female friends, but since becoming Internet savvy I have met a few people online (HELLO MY FAIRY BLOG MOTHER). I even reconnected with my good friend and classmate on myspace! I guess I'm asking: Can real friendships be started online?

Sunday

I havent really done anything this weekend.

Im working on getting a drivers license but there are some things that make me nervous! See I took drivers education when I was 16 like most teens but in my case I just didnt use the damn license or even bother getting it renewed! So now 10 years later at 26 I finally went and took the written test and I passed it which I knew I would its the driving thats scares me!

Shopping Blues

Why is it so damn hot outside? Texas weather is a mess! I feel like I'm baking every time I leave out of the door but I'm blessed to see another day.

Ive been starving myself from shopping and since I'm going through withdrawals why not talk about it?

Its one of my favorite things to do but its also something that I tend to do too much of. Impulse buying is the worst thing for me. I always see something and in that moment I think "this shirt would go good with _____" but when I get home I realize that I already have 2 or more tops that are similar to that. I'm realizing that I clearance shop like a mad woman its all good until I run out of closet space, I mean if something is marked down from $100 to $60 does that mean I cant pass it up? I especially love Old Navy because they have things that are $3 every week.

My point is shopping is a habit not a bad one but a habit. I'm finding myself with pieces of clothing that I really don't need but I was convinced I needed it at the time of purchase. Then I'm always complaining that I have nothing to wear. Its so sad I know!

How do you feel about STEVE MADDEN shoes? Are they considered knock offs?

My night of TV

Im happy to say that the Houston Rockets beat Utah Jazz tonight! Being that Im a proud houstonian I get so excited when our teams do great hopefully they wont let me down like they did last year.

Now I hate to admit how addicted I am to reality television I watch as much of it as I can weekly. Tonight was no different I sat my ass up and watched College Hill in between watching the game and Im sad to say that I wont be tuning in anymore! A certain male on the show totally lacks respect for women and his elders. It was a sad thing to sit through. I want to know when and where are we taught these things?Home? I already know he'll just say it was edited that way. Most people I know think that they use a script anyway! I believe that to be true sometimes myself, but I know I wont be watching the questionable BET programming anymore I was so disgusted!!!

Hello




Im having a hair crisis right now! About a month ago I decided to get a weave and unfortunately the stylist decided to glue the weave on top of my real hair so as a result of her negligence I got this big ass plug.
So after a painful weeks of thinking my hair wont grow and trying every hair growth system I could get my hands on I finally have hair coming in!! But my question is what can I do in transistion? Im wearing my natural curls right now but I feel like a kid! I cant straighten it because of the texas heat so what are my options? I refuse to wear a wig because I have a phobia of it getting caught on something and coming off!
I feel like calling Dr. Miracles
