hell to the naw

first day of school!

well, not really my FIRST day, but it's my first day back. my mom passes away in september and i took it really hard. i stayed in school that semester but i was worn the hell out & i decided to take a break from school. so i've been out since december. i got myself back together pretty much and i'm going back today. i never thought i'd actually be excited about school but i really am!

can't wait to further my edu-ma-cation. ha.

wish me luck!

double ewww.

why do people think this is attractive?

yuckity yuck.

plastic surgery smh...

hayden panitierre's mom. wtf? ew.

stay away from the plastic surgeon y'all, stay away...

so me & the old folks are cleaning the basement...

... & we keep stumbling across all kinds of hilarious & random objects, including an old, unopened bottle of Stetson (do they even make that anymore?), a can of Planter's peanuts, that upon opening, we realized was full of dentures. yep, dentures.

but this right here had me laughing until my abs hurt.




just a simple bottle of colgate, you say?

take a peep at this:


in case you can't read it, this stuff expired in AUGUST OF 1989! i was born in 1988, i just turned 21. This shit EXPIRED 20 years ago, which means it's probably 22 or 23 years old. lmao. smh...

this basement officially has too much random junk in it.

adam lambert

he better win AI.

he is AMAZING!

good morning all!

i just enjoyed a delicious (& unhealthy) breakfast of pancakes & bacon. man it was good. anyway, i worked out for a little bit, so it's all gravy baby.

i'm off to work soon, but first i'm heading over to the mall because i NEED to find a pair of white skinny jeans! wish me luck!

ttyl.

really good nude lip gloss.

i started buying Beauty Rush lip gloss from VS about a year ago, mostly because i'd heard they smell really good, so i decided to give them a shot, thinking they wouldn't even show up, because lip glosses don't really show up on my lips, except for MAC.

Anywho, this one in particular is really pretty. it's called "Slice Of Heaven". in the tube, as you may be able to see, it's like a light tan color with an iridescent pink sheen to it. it's kind of hard to explain. Here's what it looks like in the tube...



and here's how it looks on...



pretty, right? on a scale of 1-10, i'd give it an 8. the only thing wrong with it? it does that gross thing that some glosses do, where it globs up in the corners and turns white. ew! (speaking of which, does anyone know how to prevent that & why it happens in the first place?). anyway, try it & enjoy ladies!

buy me this #5

and another... damn.

buy me this #4

i always see this at macy's. i dream about it at night.

i'd sell my organs for it. well, maybe not.

just buy it for me? thanks bbs.

celebrity who's closet i'd love to raid #2

rihanna


her style is crazy. in a GOOD way! i love it. i love she isn't afraid to experiment. with crazy colors, patterns, and let's not forget that infamous hair! she wasn't the first person to get a bob, obviously, but she clearly started that trend last year. all of a sudden girls who couldn't go without their extensions were chopping it all off for the rihanna bob. i also love how she's tatted. her's are actually really cute & not like these bullshit tattoos i see on these classy (ha) women around detroit. her's are well placed, nicely drawn & seem to have meaning.
and have you guys seen the shoes this lady wears sometimes?! man.
keep it up ri ri!

man i love these things.

so, i went to the dollar store yesterday to get some air fresheners for my car & just out of curiosity (and greed, to be quite frank), i went down the candy aisle.

and i found these!


i haven't had these in years, i forgot they even existed! i used to eat them all the time, especially at the movies.

i know this was pretty pointless, but i just wanted to share, cuz it made my day.

feeling better today.

i had a rough, rough afternoon yesterday, as you can tell by my angry blogging, lol.

but i'm cool now.

back to happy blogs!

nobody understands.

nobody understands the hell i have been through the past year or so & i am so sick of it. i am sick of 95% of the people in my life, i'm sick of people being inconsiderate and not doing shit for me.
i'm sick of a certain person telling me i'm a crybaby. I JUST LOST MY FUCKING MOTHER, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? things set me off so easily nowadays & i wish i wasn't like this but i cannot help it. i lost my mom, i had to leave our house, i had to leave school. everything changed that day. EVERYTHING. i was spoiled, but not to the point where i couldn't do anything for myself. my mom just didn't want me to have to worry aout "Grown up" stuff until i graduated from college. LOTS of kids live like that, yet some people act like i'm a stupid fucking baby. i'm not. i got myself back into school, got my financial aid together, i came home from school on a thursday and started working thursday. NO ONE fucking helped me move my shit from shcool. NO ONE. did it all by myself. did i mention i have a knee injury and did this on an campus? yeah. it was fun.

i'm sick of everything.

i'm sick of crying, sick of getting yelled at, sick of people in my shit, sick of people NOT UNDERSTANDING, sick of people whining about how bad their parents suck. what the fuck ever. my mom is DEAD and my dad is a deadbeat. i am the only person i know in this situation. all my friends are living the life i used to have, and i would never wish it upon anyone, but i am so incredibly jealous. it's so unfair! i tried and still do try to live such a good life and look wtf happened. i can't catch a break. i just don't know what to do anymore. i miss my mommy so much. she was everything to me. my best friend, someone i could tell ANYTHING to & the only person who would do absolutely anything for me. not just for things i need, but for things i wanted. now all of a sudden i'm just here by myself. i feel so alone. i feel like half of me is missing. i can't even look at pictures of her, without bursting into tears. it's so unfair. i know we aren't supposed to question God & his motives, but i can't help it. i've tried so hard to be a good Christian & look what it got me.

i just don't know anymore...

sorry for the poor structure. i'm kind of upset.

*takes a deep breath*

buy me this #3

i'm drooling.

this commercial makes me flesh crawl.

i seriously wish they'd ban the damn thing. ugh.

celebrity who's closet i'd love to raid #1

how amazing are her dresses? and the shoes she wears? *dies*

COCtomom? lmao.

it was only a matter of time...

it needs to be said.

listen up ladies.

i am so sick of seeing & hearing about how easily some of y'all give it up. what are you thinking?
i guess i can understand that it's fun or whatever, but i deep down, i find it hard to believe that you actually really enjoyed it. what good could possibly come of sleeping with some dude you barely know? think about it... you don't know this dude's last name, but you're gonna let him inside your body? and i don't care how careful you think you're being, you can STILL get pregnant or catch something. NOTHING is 100% besides abstinence & i truly believe that all this junk that comes on tv & in movies had influenced this generation. everything on film always makes things look perfect. one-night stands always become your prince charming, the random dude who knocked you up (when you didn't use a condom!) sticks around & you guys raise the baby & live happily ever after. yeah right! and in all the sex scenes you see in movies & on tv, when's the last time you saw someone put on a condom? almost never! yet you never head anything about STD's or pregnancy. I'm not writing this to put anyone down, but i just hate to see girls treat themselves like this. you are better than that ladies! & don't even let some dude tell you or treat you otherwise. i know not everyone wants to get married, but most do... and think about it. do you want your husband to have what a million other dudes got to have? and what if one of these guys gives you something you can't get rid of?! you really wanna be stuck with something forever for a few minutes of pleasure with some random guy? just PAUSE before you do something. i'm not saying that we should save ourselves until marriage (though i think it's a great idea), i think that may be too extreme. what if you never get married? however, if you're with a guy and; you can't imagine him being a good father, he's irresponsible, you could never let him meet your parents, he hooks up with random girls all the time, etc. when why on earth would you sleep with him?

take it easy girls.

your body is a GIFT, treasure it!

i don't care what y'all say, i love paris hilton.

and i want this shirt.

regardless of what people think about her, this girl's fashion sense is impeccable. her outfits are always perfect. man, i'd love to raid her closet...

buy me this #2

gorgeous.

it's a zac posen (love his stuff!)

it's only 1800 bucks. ain't i worth it? ;]

wetseal & forever 21 FINALLY sell plus sized clothes.

it's about damn time!

forever 21 & wetseal have always had such cute clothes, but they stop at a large. i wear an xl. it always bugged me... i can see them not selling 3x's & 4x's & stuff, but no xl? c'mon. plenty of people wear an xl. and it may not even be fat, some girls just have tog ole' bitties! (that's not my excuse, ha). but i was glad to see that they finally came to their senses and added plus sized clothing. 

wet seal goes up to a size 24 & 3x now. however, it's only available online, which is kind of annoying. but hey, rome wasn't built in a day. hopefully soon they'll include plus sizes in their stores. 

i ordered this shirt... (in grey)

http://www.wetseal.com/catalog/product.jsp?categoryId=739&productId=19476

and this jacket... (in khaki)

http://www.wetseal.com/catalog/product.jsp?categoryId=739&productId=18934

forever21 goes up to a 2x & the biggest number size i saw was a 16. seriously? that's barely plus-sized... anyway, they had some cute things. mostly shirts.

i ordered 2 dresses, here they are. also, the plus sized line is called "faith21" and i believe it's actually available in store. i'm not sure though. but i stil ordered online.

i got this in orange...

http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=faith_main&product_id=2061502695&Page=all#

and i got this in black. i'm not crazy about that belt, but it's removable.

http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=faith_main&product_id=2062216323&Page=all

my clothes should come soon. after i try them on, i'll be sure to post reviews!

buy me this #1

oh.

em.

gee...

must haves [for the girls]

so, here's a list of 5 things i think every girl should have to bring out her inner diva.

1. some really good smelling lip gloss

i love these. i got them at victoria's secret. the lighter one is "slice of cake" & it smells like vanilla cake with yummy frosting. and the pink one is "i want candy". sometimes when i'm bored i put it on just to smell it. ha. it makes me happy. and well, who doesn't like well-glossed lips?

2. a bright, semi-crazy nail color.

 

this is some cheap junk i got at the beauty supply store. you get 3 for $1 (no lie). it chips like crazy and you have to apply 3 or 4 coats for it to look decent. lol, but i really liked the color. in case you wanna know, it's "santa fe" by missi. eh, what can you expect for 33 cents? ps, sorry i'm terrible at polishing nails. it's all on my skin & ish. pardon my sloppiness... it'll come off in the shower tomorrow.

3. a secret piercing

this is my tragus piercing. it's awesome. i like it cuz it's visible, but not TOO visible. i work at an insurance company, so obviously i can't walk in there with a tongue ring & septum piercing, right? but, my favorite piercing was my belly button. i loved it. i always felt like i had a little secret that no on really knew about it. i always kept cute, sparkly, dangly jewelry in it. but unfortunately, my body rejected it. but i'm gonna get it redone soon i think. it's gonna be my reward after i lose some more weight.

4. a special piece of jewelry

i got this tiffany bracelet for my 18th birthday. i'm 21 now. i ALWAYS have it on. the only time i've taken it off is to clean it and for when my clumsy ass broke it, ha. when i say "special", that doesn't necessarily mean it has to be expensive, because this wasn't that expensive. it's from tiffany & co., yes, but it's silver, it was less than $200. i just think it's really cute. and it reminds me of my mommy everytime i look at it.

& last but not least...

5. some fierce heels!

what really needs to be said about heels? they make you feel cute, taller, flirty & all around more fierce. not to mention they make it look like you spent hours in the gym on your legs cuz when you wear them, your muscles have to flex. i got these from DSW. they're BCBG Girls and they actually came in my size! it's so hard to find shoes to fit my feet. i wear a size 10 or 10.5 or 11. yeah, yeah. don't make fun. but when i find a pair of cute heels that fit & they don't kill my feet & they don't cost a million dollars, i must get them!

here's another one actually of the same one from earlier. i have no pics of the new one, come to think of it. but i will post soon!

the above pic is the first sew in i did myself.

looks ok, but the one i have now is better i think. i don't have too many great pics of it, but let's see wht i can dig up...

what the eff?

ugh.
dude.

GET IT FIXED.

so, i made homemade boneless wings tonight.

as some of you all know, i have a serious addiction to the boneless wings at buffalo wild wings. it's ridiculous.

anyway, i always order a dozen boneless. half honey bbq & half hot. with bleu cheese on the side. so, instead of spending $15 to go get some, i decided to make some myself. i took 2 (freakishly large), chicken breasts & cut them into about a dozen pieces each. then i took one raw egg & mixed it with about 1/4 of a cup of milk. i dipped the chicken in it, and after that i rolled it in some flour. then i fried the chicken (in canola oil, it's the oil thing i use) and fried them forabout 10 or 15 minutes.

here's how i made my sauces:

honey bbq sauce

i don't measure stuff, but i'm just gonna estimate. i used probably 1/3 of a cup of bbq sauce nad probably about 2 tablespoons of honey.

hot sauce

well, it's pretty much just hot sauce, lol. and i always used a tiny bit of melted butter.

so, after you make the sauces, just dip your chicken in there and enjoy! tastes great with a little blue cheese dressing on the side!

what in the world are these?

so, i got these flowers for my grandma for mother's day and i have no idea what they are! i've never seen any before, but i thought they were pretty & different so i got them. i meant to ask the sales clerk what they were when i bought them, but as usual, i forgot.

far away



and another close up

"knock you down"-keri hilson

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF5Q1jr28PM

i love this song.

sorry i can't embed it, they disabled it. boo!

anyway, enjoy!

good morning!

there's really no post to this blog, so i apologize in advance.

but i just wanted to say good morning & i hope everyone has a beautiful, blessed & productive day!

<3

nasty people.

i don't understand some folks... actually, first off, i guess i should clarify what i mean by "nasty". i don't mean physically nasty, like dirty people. i'm talking about people with constant foul attitudes and personalities.

what is the point? what is going on in your life that makes you so miserable? EVERYONE goes through hard times, it's a part of life, but don't let things sour you & turn you into a bitter person. you're helping NO ONE, including yourself. i decided to write this after speaking to a woman with a terrible attitude at work. it's a long story, and i don't feel like explaining, but she literally had me making faces at her over the phone, lol. she was horrible. i've spoken to her a few times & she's always been really foul. i don't understand how her husband puts up with it. i pray she isn't always that way. if so, she must be good in bed or something, because i can't imagine anyone putting up with that mess for years & years.

everyone gets in a bad mood from time to time, but there is no reason to take it out on others & drag innocent people into your misery.

ok, my rant is over.

now turn that frown upside down!

so, the question keeps arising...

"Are those your real eyelashes?!"

yes, people, yes! they're all mine. well, i guess i can't take all the credit. my eyelashes are naturally kind of long, but not very thick. my secret?
Cover Girl's Lash Blast mascara in Very Black. a lot of people complain about it clumping, but i don't care, lol. the more the better! Seriously, this stuff is great. it has a huge brush & after one coat you're good. but i use like 3 coats, ha. i just can't help myself...



also, no one's complemented me on it,(at least not out loud, hopefully they do internally, lol), but this has been my lip gloss look lately. a nice pink-ish nude. i think it's a good color. i'd consider myself medium brown skinned. i'm an NC or NW 50 from MAC. so, this is what i use...





the bigger one is Beauty Rush lip gloss in "I Want Candy" and sometimes they sell it as "Candy Baby". it retails for about $7 at Victoria's Secret. it smells sooo yummy. i think it's supposed to be cotton candy scented. it's a very sheer light pink. The second one is MAC lipglass in Nymphette, which is a sheer pink with a hint of gold shimmer. It's available wherever they sell MAC products (Macy's, Saks, etc...). That one retails for about $14.50. i know it's tiny, but a little bit goes a long way.
Anyway, first i put on the "i want candy" all over my lips like normal, then i put on the "nymphette". just a tiny bit. i start in the middle and work my way out to the sides.

well, there's a couple makeup tips. more to come. enjoy ladies!

mother's day

my first one without my mommy.

i keep thinking about the last time i talked to her... i was too busy watching the stupid VMA's to talk to her. i rushed her off the phone & told her i was doing homework & that i'd talk to her tomorrow. and i didn't. it haunts me everyday. i feel like such a rotten person. i'm glad i got to tell her i loved her though.

moral of the story: cherish your mom while she's still here. tell her you love her. give her a hug, a kiss. you never know when the last time you'll talk to her will be.

bartending?

so, i'm thinking about becoming a bartender.

seems like it may be semi-entertaining. and well, i need to make some more damn money.

thoughts?

this made me a little nauseous.

what in holy hell is wrong with her belly button?!

"The Best Day"-Taylor Swift

this song gets me everytime. it's so touching. makes me miss my mommy so much. here's the link to the video. she makes a lot of these videos to some of her songs where's it's basically just random home video clips. it's pretty cute.

my favorite lines from the song:
"... & you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
now i know why all the trees change in the fall
& you were on my side, even when i was wrong
& i love you for giving me your eyes
staying back & watching me shine
& i didn't know if you knew,
so i'm taking this chance to say, that i had the best day with you today" <3

nothing's new really. same ole', same ole'.

still working at the insurane company, hopefully i'll be retaking my test soon so i can get licensed.

and i'm FINALLY going back to school at the end of the month. i'm so excited! i never thought i'd actually be thrilled to go learn, lol, but i am.

i guess that's all for now.
