Tis The Season For Great Fashion

Hey Fashionistas and Fashionistos, I know it has been a while but I am back with a lot to say. I hope all of you attended the collaboration between Jimmy Choo and H&M on November 14th. It was a great experience all the women and teens had a blast. There was something for everyone, if you are a animal print diva, punk rock chic, or just have the flare for the night life you were in shopping heaven. All the prices were reasonable for very sexy clothes, jewelery and bags. Sadly I wasn't able to purchase anything because by the time I had gotten there everything was gone. Other than that the experience was a great one and I enjoyed every moment of it.

Welcome Back YesterYear

...Life is funny in so many ways.

It has always amazed me that when times appear to be getting to their worst possible points, when you feel like nothing is going right and there is no way to change what is going on, a pleasant surprise pops up and changes every thought and excuse that you conjured up in your mind.

How could YesterYear disappoint me so and find a way back into my life when I needed it most?
How can I now sit and reflect on what once was and what is now, thinking to myself the joy that has touched my heart since it returned?

This has become more than a breath of fresh air... YesterYear changed everything, bringing into my life a new beginning.

As I sat today and "daydreamed" of YesterYear I was truly impressed, blown away and adopted a new found appreciation for my past and what is now my future. I looked at what is...and appreciated everything that had happened before. It all brought me to this point...to these feelings and now to this blog!

As I spoke to my girls about what has taken place and all that has changed, my eyes teared up at the thought of YesterYear and at the encouragement of the girls to move forward with it. Now, my guard is down and I have opened myself completely to receive whatever is meant to come.

With that being said...YestYear is no longer. TOMORROW is what has begun!

I <3 my past and now what is my future ;)

Turkey Day!!!!

Turkey day!



I must say , as I sit here full and stuffed from all the delicious goodies and sweet treats I ate this year at the dinner table, I cant help but think about how much stuff has changed. I know, I know, you thinking the holidays are all about partying and having fun. Yes your right! But I also think it is a chance for some self renewal. You guys cant forget I am the relationships writer and I think Thanksgiving is truly a time to reflect on the people and loved ones that you are thankful for and the relationships that you have in your life . In a way I feel as if is a pre New Years Resolution kind of thing. Out with the old. In with the New. This Thanksgiving I can honestly say there are people that are no longer in my life that I had great times with last year and new people that I couldn’t be happier to have met. True friends that I expect to be there forever. Lifelong buddies that you will know till the end of time . I digress. Lol Think of the holidays as a time to really sit back and think about what you are thankful for, what you can do without and what you want to change to make your life truly amazing and stress free. I mean in the end it is all worth it and will make you feel free and walk with your head held high. Thanksgiving has also given me some time to think and be thankful for the wonderful things I have in my life. (I mean don’t think Im just saying things and not doing them as well lol) and at this point I wouldn’t want to have my life any other way. Im especially thankful for renewing my friendshipand becoming so close with Shani , meeting a new friend Taylor and my family and best friends who have always been by my side no matter what . Try it guys and see it if doesn’t make you put a smile on your face!Let me know how it goes ! Happy Turkey Day!

Until Next time Stay sweet...

Why Are People So Opposed To Relationships Today?

::Sitting in my jammies, sipping on hot chocolate with the love song playlist on shuffle (to get me in the mood......for writing this blog that is lol)... I'm thinking of the one question that has been on my mind since the beginning of the week. "Why are people so opposed to relationships today?"::

Sunday night I spoke to a friend of mine ;) (I hope he's reading) about the fact that HE thought I was pretty guarded. Now, while taking this into consideration during discussing my "problem" a thought came to mind. I noticed that he mentioned he wasn't interested in anything dealing with titles at the moment, which is fine but of course I had to ask: "Why are you so opposed to relationships?" To my surprise he told me that it was because "women are worse then men now of days". Asking what he meant by this he explained that "women lie". I had to laugh and respond with the statement that is oh so true: "Like men dont lie?" My friend here also mentioned a few other things that I dont feel are very significant to what I'm about to explain to all my readers. Anyway, a light bulb went off in my head and I figured that he must be pretty guarded to allow this thought or his past experiences get in the way of opening up to someone of interest to see if anything could possibly develop. No titles need to be given but without even giving it a shot he could very well be allowing a good one to slip past him...

The next morning I woke up with this still on my mind. I posted the question as my status on Facebook, Twitter and my BBM (blackberry messenger) to recieve more then a handful of responses. (SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF THOSE WHO ANSWERED THE QUESTION AND TURNED MY STATUS INTO A DISCUSSION BOARD ;p) The responses that I recieved were...

Dadrick: Because everyone thinks its easier to just have sex

NeelyBabez: Cuz some people are jus afraid to settle down & actually open their hearts up to someone. Mayb its a fear of getting their heart broken or just not wanting to try sttn new

DVictor: im opposed to relationships cause of the drama

Stephen: Committment is a motha....

Melanie: Maybe 4 most men NOT ALL but most, its to have more than one girl. Some girls are like that too but maybe its bcuz we still young and they wana be able to do watever the hell they want and not worry about anyone

Anais: Many people today are worried about living life to the fullest when their young to be in a comitted relationship. but being in love can happen at any age. i personally love being in a long term relationship. you get that support, love, time, and devotion from your 'significant other' that you dont get from random people.

I found truth in EACH response that I featured including those that were not posted within this blog. Being that you have all read what my friends think... ITS MY TURN

At the end of the day I believe that people are opposed to relationship due to pure laziness. Society today wants everything to come fast and without a problem. We want everything easy. As a person full of emotion and an extreme amount of love to give it really does disappoint me to find that people have so many negative thoughts towards relationships. There is one thing that EVERYONE should realize if you get nothing else out of reading this blog... NO GOOD RELATIONSHIP COMES EASILY. IT TAKES WORK, HARD WORK. There may be absolutely no guarantee that with all that work you've invested into your relationship that it is going to last. But at least you tried and put some time and effort into it. I'd much rather try with someone and have it fail then regret never trying and let THAT person slip away. Everytime you enter into a relationship or even consider it, it's risky, it's an adventure...sometimes its worth it. Its worth it when you look back later and see that you opened up to someone and you've benefited in sooo many ways from it. In no way am I telling anyone to go jump into a relationship blind but have an open mind and open heart, let your guard down and give the situation a chance to develop and blossom. You may end up being surprised. Fear tends to hold people back from many things...Dont let it hold you back from THIS. Give it chance no matter how many fucked up relationships you've been through (I've had my share and I still haven't given up on it).

You can't see me, But I can see you!

Everytime I see someone outside in the dark, indoors or any place that there is no sunlight I wonder WHY?!

Why in the hell do you have sunglasses on? Where do you see the sun? (I must be missing something)

It seems as though sunglasses, "stunna shades" or whatever else people like to call them have become a fashion statement of some sort. BUT!...

as I sat on the train staring at this woman I kept thinking to myself that this has to be more then the latest fad or fashion statement. I thought back to childhood, when EVERYONE had the wish to be a super hero of some sort or imagined having a super power.

So, I came to the conclusion that these grown ass people wearing shades at night (can you even see whats going on as you're walking down the street?) are unconsciously living their childhood super power in their real grown up life! (This would be the psych major coming out of me lol)

What would this super power be you ask? "I WISH I COULD BE INVISIBLE" says the inner child.

Indeed this is it! Ladies, Gentlemen, Boys and Girls... You are hiding from the world. When you put these sunglasses on you try and portray a demeanor that you are inevidibly the shit (Negative Nancy). But I figured it out! Its not about being the shit, you're hiding from the real world and everyone in it. Unfortunately I must, of course be that individual to burst your bubble. EVERY GOT DAMN PERSON AROUND YOU CAN STILL SEE YOUR ASS!

There is no street light, subway station or train car that bright that you need to put sunglasses on. If its not summer or the sun isn't shining oh so brightly on your little tanninng face....PUT THE SUNGLASSES AWAY AND BACK IN THERE PLACE. (cough cough I'm def not speaking of your face)

LOVE me beyond just the word

When do you realize that the words leaving your partners mouth are just that. WORDS!

L
    O
        V
            E....

is just a word until ACTIONS give meaning to it.

How many times have you heard someone tell you that they love you? When their actions are telling you something very different.

This goes beyond cheating, beating and the constant leaving and returning to one another.

What is love without affection?
What is love without action?
What is love without thought?
What is love without emotion?

Material things dont phase me...
  Your status means nothing...
      That word has no meaning...
         But show me! Show her! Show him!

Express THIS LOVE beyond the four letters needed to spell it.
Express THIS LOVE beyond the one syllable needed to speak it.

TELL ME, TELL HIM, TELL HER...
    I LOVE YOU...    AND MEAN IT!

* Love has no spoken or written definition. It's something unexplainable. Only your actions can show the appreciation you have to this emotion and for this person... don't let them slip away

*For those that are not involved and or are not in love... If you see something that you are interested in... dont hold back, give it your all, (I am a big believer of getting what I want when I want it) and go for it. If rejected its apart of life, but at least you tried. Every rejection and or bad relationship brings you a little closer to that ONE person...

...Love me beyond just the word.
