Love Faces: Katy Perry

  I have such a total girl crush on Katy Perry. Her eyes are big, bright, and gorgeous. Her spirit is electric and her love for the fans is genuine. It can't get any better than that. Katy Perry is definitely a superstar. Born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson on October 25, 1984, Perry is a singer, songwriter, and actress. Known for multiple hair colors and [...]
 
 
 
 

Vacation Bucket List

Vacations are a time to relax, let your hair down and enjoy yourself. I know whenever I have the chance to get away, I enjoy my time to the fullest and simply live it up. You only have one life to live, so enjoy it. Last year I took a trip to Los Angeles and decided while I was there, to do things that I would never normally do, and believe it or not I had the best time doing so. I tossed the id[...]
 
 
 
 

Open Relationships

I know we’ve all heard the saying, “Two’s company, three’s a crowd.” When it comes to relationships three is definitely a crowd.  I had a conversation the other day about open relationships and why people chose to be in them. I couldn’t understand how someone would willingly want to be a part of it. If I truly care about you then its just me and you in this relationship.  Then, I began to think [...]
 
 
 
 

Breaking Point: What's Yours?

Every relationship has it’s up and down. That’s a given, no way around it.  As women we stretch the boundaries and limits on what we put up with from our men. Is it because we don’t want to be alone? Do we feel if we hold on we will have our happy ending? Or are we just content with the situation? Either way once you’re tired you will know, you won’t talk about it, you will be about it. Once you[...]
 
 
 
 

Would you send your kid to jail?

Parents, how the hell are you raising your children? I heard the most appalling news story today. If you haven't heard and I will provide the line, three baby thugs beat and robbed a mentally disable woman in Philadelphia. I call them baby thugs because the boys are 12, 10, and 7. What the hell would possess children of that age to break into a house, beat the owner, and rob them? I don't care w[...]
 
 
 
 

Being a bitch

Are you a certified b****? There are people in this world who wake up angry and ensure that everyone feels their wrath. In a way, I can understand if you are frustrated by major issues such as money or the demise of a marriage, but all out b****iness is unnecessary. When I was younger, I was considered one. It was my way or the highway, I didn't talk to people, but more talked at them. Once I be[...]
 
 
 
 

The biracial dating dilemma of 2012

Let's be real for once. Racism still exists and depending on where you live, your tolerance of mixed relationships is either positive or negative. Personally, I don't need anyone to validate my choices. So, the stares and comments can be placed in a grave, never to be thought of again. Love is love and has no color. One never knows why someone chooses to date outside of their race. It can be for[...]
 
 
 
 

Dating Faux Pas- Your ex

Dating an ex is considered a faux pas because our egos won't allow us to go backwards. I don't see an issue with it unless the break-up was for a valid reason. I mean...think about it, if you dated 10 years ago or longer, I am sure both of you have changed. Even five years makes a big difference, life happens and can change the core of an individual. We hear stories of celebrities marrying ex-hu[...]

Is your hair keeping you from working out?

Going to the gym is not a favorite past time of mine, but it is something I need to do because I am not happy with my body and I want to change it. Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol are just a few health issues plaguing many women. Four out of Five black women are overweight. While the obvious thing would be to just exercise, for many black women that is just not an option. A[...]
 
 
 
 

Are you leaving a legacy for your children?

The other day, I had a discussion with friends about the legacies we plan to leave our children. We discussed leaving legacies such as property, businesses, and traditions like family picnics and reunions. But, those are common answers for many. What about leaving a legacy like the Rockefellers and Kennedys? How can I possibly leave such a great legacy that appears to stand the test of time? The[...]
 
 
 
 

Love Faces: Blake Lively

  Blake Lively is a gem. From a beautiful figure, to her non-obsessive exercise habits, to her laid back demeanor and wonderful personality. She's the all around American girl that can go from glammed in red carpet designer looks, to chilled out in shorts and flip flops. And the fact that she doesn't use a stylist endears her to us even more. Because well, her style is always on point. Ch[...]
 
 
 
 

Love Faces: Sofia Vergara

Ayyyy, Muy Caliente! Sofia Vergara is one hot chick. I have no problem giving women props when they have earned it. Sofia Vergara oozes sex and there aren't to many that can do it like her. She has a curvaceous figure and that accent makes me so jealous. She is best know for her role as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett in ABC's Modern Family. Many of you may remember her as Titi in Madea Goes To Jail or[...]

Can you find love in the club?

If Usher can, why can't you? The concept of finding love in the club was not so farfeteched too long ago. There was a time when you could go to the club, meet someone, date, fall in love and maybe even get married. Or at least have a long-term, high/low relationship, filled with jealousy, suspicion and lust. Unfortunately things have changed. Now the only thing you can bargain for is a one [...]
 
 
 
 

When PDA is TMI

By Ashley Spencer: For years, you’ve been waiting for someone to share your life with—someone who enjoys browsing records stores, someone who stays home on Fridays to watch Kevin Smith movies, someone who smells good. Finally, after years of bad acne and plenty of dateless nights, you got your guy/girl…and it’s awesome! Even you are nauseated by how cute you guys are together, how it sounds[...]
