Fashion: Shoe Fetish

Hello world!

It's almost time to say good bye to summer and hello to cold weather (NOOOOO!!!). So you know its time to go shopping. Ive been checking out the shoe collection for the fall and found two boots that I LOVE!!!


Retail price $195.95

This beautiful eye candy is called the 'Wrapp Black Suede'. One new trend for this upcoming season is boots with open toes. FYI ladies I do believe your suppose to wear some type of stockings or whatever with these shoes. NO TOES SHOULD BE OUT IN THE OPEN when the cold air starts to blow.


Retail price $105.00

Now I fell in love at first site with this breath-taking heart breaker. My style is very low key classic. Black and white simple. This is called the 'Naughty Monkey Exhibitionist Suede Boot'. (Yes, I heart SUEDE!) If your not feeling the open toes boot trend you can always find a banging closed toe to fit your personality.

Remember its not about the price or designer its about how you rock it!

Must have: Hair

Hello world,

I've been meaning to post another Beauty post so here it is. As an black female I have been using relaxers on my hair since childhood. At first it was Just For Me until I was 23yrs old. I switched to Luster's Pink Hair Relaxer which has since been replaced. I noticed how soft and healthy my mother's hair was after using this product and tried it on mine.





Olive hair relaxer is my new best friend! I am very careful about what products I use on my hair to avoid hair loss as much as possible. While washing out the relaxer I instantly saw the difference in the texture of my hair. It has never been THAT soft and healthy looking. The shampoo and conditioner added volumes to the new relaxer. Not only does it soften hair it also has vitamins in its products to help damaged hair. (Which I need being as though the modeling world can reap havoc on your hair.) I recommend those looking for a great improving relaxer try Olive at least once in your lifetime. So worth the $6.99! lol

Single Black Female

Hello World!


I've been a little M.I.A I know. I take my hat off to those who blog for a living because some days I have things to post but no energy to make it happen. Kudos to you all.


At this present moment I'm at my place of employment (Ugh!). My co-workers just made a comment that made my brain start turning. 'It's not hard to find a man/woman. You just pick.' This coming from someone who is married and someone else who has been in a LONG term relationship for years now. I'm often asked 'Why are you single?' I hate that question with a passion because the answer is not so simple. There are plenty of reasons why I'm single. The area I live in has a shortage of men, I haven't met a man who I click with, and etc.


I would love to say I'm single because I choose to be. Even if its partially true. I could just settle for the next guy who smiles my way, but I want to be happy. I want to be in a healthy loving relationship. Not having a man just to have one. Sure I have a list of qualities that I look for; who doesn't!? I also understand that a man will be a man. They will cheat. They will lie. They will lust. They will flirt. They will put careers/money before you. They will always choose their mother over you. That's just what it is. Even those who try their damn est to not be a 'typical' male even fall victim sometimes. I cant fault them just like they cant fault my woman tendencies.


I may be attractive and look good on paper but I'm not perfect either. Those who are believed to be still experience let downs. Halle Berry was cheated on. Beyonce was lied to. Rhianna was disrespected. Megan Fox was dumped. These are women that men fantasize about. Women that they compare their women to. And yet they go through the same ups & downs as the next woman. So why would a woman expect a man to treat her differently?

I digress...

It's very easy to make opinions and statements when they subject doesn't concern you. The sea for single people is lacking fish and approaching a drought. Is it hard to be single? Yes. Is it hard to be in a relationship? Yes. But trading one headache/heartache for another is never the answer. Never settle. Never let others make your love life their business. Always go for what makes you happy!

T-I-M-E!

Hello world!

I have always been proud of the fact that I'm not a 'clingy' girlfriend. I don't need to talk to you everyday & I don't need to see you everyday. BUT I would LIKE to see you sometimes. My friend lover & I have hectic schedules. His is unpredictable while mine has a lot of things in it. I work during the day & attend classes at night. When I can I model as well. So lately we've planned time together in advance so we can see each other. As of late that hasn't happen. Plans are made and I'm basically blown off. I understand that he may have something important to do, but he still has time to get on myspace/twitter. If im making an effort he has to as well. I see why men cheat.

Don't get me wrong I do not condone cheating. If things ever get that bad just break up with the person. Cheating causes way more pain than needed. I can understand how a person in a relationship can be lacking something they need and here comes another person who is willing to give it to them. It doesn't mean they don't love you but if you don't take time out for your lover you will lose them.

A relationship can only work if TWO people are working TOGETHER to make it work. You don't have to do everything together or talk about everything but time is necessary to keep a relationship strong. Men spend time with your woman. Ladies spend time with your man. Do something she likes. Do something he likes. Find something you both like and do it.

Remember 'What you won't do someone else will!'

Must have: Skin

Hello world!

I haven't posted a 'Beauty' blog yet so I thought now would be the perfect time. A few weeks ago I was turned onto Dove products. Sure Ive seen the ads, but never thought anything of it until I used it!



First I started with Dove's soap. OH MY GOSH!!! The way it mixes with water and just gives your skin a silky feeling while showering is the best thing in the world. More so if you live in an area with rough water pressure (RAISES HAND). Once you rinse off and dry it still has your skin feeling smooth. Depending on your skin texture you may not have to lotion afterwards. Can we say WIN!!!??



Since I had such a great experience with the soap I decided to try the lotion. I use the Cream Oil Intensive Body lotion. Which is just as awesome. My skin has become dry and damaged because of the water & water pressure in my area. This lotion has softened my skin and it last all day. I'm even seeing some improvement in my skin tone.

Although I can not use these products on my face (Very sensitive and horrible break out occurred) I have seen wonderful results on my body. If you haven't already tried it DO IT NOW!! For those with sensitive skin do some research on it first to make sure it wont harm your skin instead of help it.
