he just wanted to do hoodrat stuff with his friends.

this video never gets any less hilarious.

smoky look + nude lips.

it turned out so pretty, imo. the pics don't do it justice!

this look was super easy & inspired by this video:



but i had to subtitute, because i seriously have none of those colors! boo!

i used all MAC products unless noted.

eyes:
the dark part, i used Beauty Marked. kind of between purple & black. super pretty up close though.
the neutral part: Cover Girl e/s quad in Country Woods. I used the last color in the set.
for the white: Sea Myth. I believe this was a limited edition collection because it comes in a seafoam green case instead of the typical black MAC packaging. I got it a few years back.
mascara: my HG, Cover Girl Lash Blast waterproof in very black

cheeks:
Sweet as Cocoa
then a little Ambering Rose on top
and then I used Trade Gold as a highlight (down the nose, across the forehead, TINY bit on cheeks"

Lips:
Studio Tech Concealor in NC50 as a base
and lip glass in Chai



it was super quick & easy!

hers turned out so pretty, i HAVE to try this!

RIP Shiloh Pepin

poor little Shiloh was a 10 year old girl born with "Mermaid Syndrome"/ Basically, her legs were fused together and her entire uro-genital and some of her digestive system were abnormal due to this. I've seen her on tv a few times and she was so funny! i just wanted to give the poor baby a hug. They didn't think she'd even live to be a few days old because of all the health problems associated with her syndrome but she lived to 10, and unfortunately, something as relatively common as a cold is what killed her.

if you've never seen her on tv, here's a video of here. very inspirational. she was so positive in spite of it all!



RIP Shiloh.


p.s., i cannot believe some of the comments people had about her! smh...

Why Wedding Rings go on hte 4th finger.

"i turn to you" by Christina Aguilera. i used to love it so much and i just rediscovered it a few days ago. her voice is so beautiful & i love the lyrics.

sorry, embedding was disabled by her channel. so annoying.

interesting way to wave your hair

i've never seen or heard of this before! i was so confused when she first started, lol. i'm gonna try and see how it works for me. anyone ever use this technique before?

"The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus"

check out the trailer! as most of us remember, Heath Ledger passed away January, 2008 (it was THAT long ago?! seems like it just happened), anyway, this is the movie he was working on when he died. It wasn't finished, so they had to completely rework the parts he didn't finish and his part was filled in by Johnny Depp, Colin Ferrell and Jude Law (idk if this is true, but i heard they were all donating 100% of their paychecks to Heath's daughter, Matilda). it looks really good! one of those "visual" movies i love. like "Moulin Rouge", and "Willy Wonka". Good movies, but they're also REALLY pretty to look at. "Imaginarium" looks pretty interesting! can't wait to see it! RIP Heath. such a talented actor. seriously, him as the Joker gave me chills. amazing.

Vintage Lady Gaga (in 2005, on "Boiling Points")

MTV Shows

she looks so different!

Aaliyah, 8 years later.

Wow, can you believe it's been EIGHT YEARS since she died? Crazy. I remember when I found out. I was at home watching TV and it came on the news. I couldn't believe it. She was so beautiful & talented and always seemed to genuine and down to Earth. and one of the things I admired most about her is that she wasn't raunchy, but she still managed to be sexy, but not flat out SEXUAL.

I was so affected by her death. Hers was the first celebrity death that I actually really paid attention to. She was from where I'm from (Detroit) and I had been listening to her since her first song. I remember the first time I heard "Back & Forth" I was outside at some picnic or something in KINDERGARTEN (boy, does that make me feel old! lol). When she died, it really taught me something; life can be incredibly short and end abruptly. Who would ever think they'd die in a place crash in the Bahamas after shooting a video at the young age of 22?

RIP Aaliyah. Keep singin' up there ♥



she was so beautiful.


here's the video she made right before she passed away. she looks so pretty.





sidenote: seriously, she had to have the prettiest head of hair ever. i was always so jealous of it.

RIP Aaliyah Dana Haughton. you will never be forgotten!

speaking of the seks that is Zac Efron...

did anyone else know he was on Room Raiders before he got famous? haha, sooo random.

That show was hella annoying, but I still watched, I don't remember ever seeing him on there though. What about you guys?

this is just the epitome of fat.

"Jennifer's Body"

i wanna see this! it looks good AND i have a minor girl crush on Megan Fox =]

"Good Hair"--the movie & the reality

so, i was watching "Wendy Williams" [boy, half my posts are getting to be about this woman, lol, but i LOVE her show!] and she played the trailer for a Chris Rock documentary called "Good Hair". i believe it's supposed to be released nationwide on October and i cannot wait to see it. long story short; the movie is about how we as a race feel about our hair. personally, i don't think how you style your hair has ANYTHING to do with how you feel about your race. i straighten my hair to the dickens & i wear 14 inches of remi hair [love it!] and i'm completely proud to be black! i just think i look better with long hair & my hair won't get that long on it's own. and i like how manageable my hair is when it's straight. why do so many "natural" sisters feel the need to say that women who use chemicals, etc. are shunning their heritage? hair is hair. do what you want with it. if you wanna wear dreads, cool. if you want a long, ice blond weave down to your ankles, fine.

speaking of "good hair", what is GOOD HAIR to you? i've always heard this term, and everytime someone would say it around my mom she would say, "everything God made is good!" (she was SO WISE, i miss her so much), and it's true. why is some hair "GOOD" and others' "bad"? as most of us know, lots of Black people usually will say it's hair that's long, curly, no "kitchen", smooth on the edges, & very soft. the fact of the matter is, most of us don't have hair like that! if you're 100% black, it's probably jet black, coarse, kinky & your edges DO NOT lay down, lol. and there's nothing wrong with that! i wish we could learn to stop calling it "good" hair. hair is hair & everyone is beautiful.

Damn Flies.

so, i made a turkey burger today, and i walked away for a minute and to my horror a nasty fly was chillin' out on my burger! and i shooed it away & it kept coming back & harassing me. i yelled & cursed it, but it wouldnt go away. finally i smacked it with a towel and it left, but it reminded me of the winnebago man. ha. idk if you guys have ever seen this video, but it's so damn funny.
