These Boots Were Made For Walking

Guess what its almost time for, BOOT SEASON! Well we still have a couple of months but that didn't stop them from coming back to our favorite stores this week. Knee and thigh high boots are like the best thing since sliced bread. It really adds a pick me up to any outfit! They also give you a reason to wear those not so in flare jeans your gramma gave you because you can just tuck them in your boots LOL. 

i know i own about 7 pair of boots in a variety of colors, but i still cant wait to add more to my collection!





*boots from Macy's, Barefeet Shoes, and Bakers.

Be Beautiful Every Day

Everyday its a mystery on who you will meet so i believe its vital to feel beautiful in your own skin. You never know, today could be the day someone falls in love with your smile! 


red maxi from belk


I absolutely adore this dress, it made me feel sexy and very pretty. Adding a peek of my cheetah print bra gave it its playful side!

Be More Like Lebron


To say the least, Lebron James has had a tough couple of years in the NBA. He was considered selfish, unhumble and arrogant, to the point where many people disliked him. Even though he was making his way to the top, it was all for the wrong reasons.

Now after realizing that having that kind of mentality would get him no where, he admitted his faults, he learned from his mistakes, and he gave looking at the world differently a chance; and what did it bring him this year, his first NBA Championship and his second USA gold medal.

Now what does this have to do with us, us women who are trying to make a difference in their community, us women who are trying to be the next Sarah Jessica Parker, and us women who are trying to find a man to marry?

It ties in a lot, If we want something in life we can't rely solely on ourselves to get there, stepping on people’s back to get to the top will eventually make you fall ALL THE WAY back to the bottom. You can be well known in life, but if it isn’t for the right reasons, it doesn’t mean a damn thing!

Us as women need to fix our attitudes, we hate on each other so much for NO REASON AT ALL. When we see a woman doing the right thing, instead of congratulating her, we bash her (ummhmmm Gabby Douglas). How can we succeed together if we don’t like when one of us actually makes it?

Relationship wise, it’s nice to have a list of things we want in a man, but we are getting A LITTLE TOO shallow now, he has to be 6’8, nice straight white teeth, Bentley truck preferred and six figured REQUIRED! PAUSE! Before you ask God that, ask yourself do you have that? How you still staying at your mom house, driving the same car you got for your sixteenth birthday and asking for “a 6 figure ni**a by the name of jigga” lol?  REALITY LADIES, instead of asking for all of these material things, we need to ask for a man of God, a man that’s going to respect you and yours, family oriented, wants to live right by one woman for the rest of his life.

So just like Lebron, we need to change our mental thinking, change the way we look at things, and work together so we all can make it to the top. We can do it ladies! We have to, because if we don’t, we will just continue to destroy each other.

Can i get my RAMBLE on for a min


Dieting, eating right, and losing weight has been a love and hate issue with myself since I was in high school. I’m neither ashamed nor embarrassed of my body but I just always believed my choices of clothes would be better because I would have a better variety to choose from.  It seems like I’ve been a size 14 forever, tight 14 and loose 14, but nevertheless always a 14. But the size 14 me in high school was so self-conscious, I didn’t enjoy getting in front of the class to present anything, I didn’t like walking pass boys, I was just in an uncomfortable stage in my life. Skipping a couple years now being a young woman in college, I noticed my confidence is at an all-time high. I’ve came to the conclusion that it’s not how big or small you are, but it’s how you carry yourself. When I first attended Hampton University and saw all the beautiful black women I came across daily I noticed they came in every shape and size. I can say that definitely taught me to appreciate myself more and learn to accept myself flaws and all’s.

3 months ago when I started my commitment to lose a little bit of weight I can finally say, I wear a COMFORTABLE 12. By telling myself I was beautiful every day and actually writing my goals down I was able to lose 15 pounds.


I wish I could write my 15 year old self a letter telling her everything would was going to be alright.
Learning to love you is a constant struggle that we, especially black women, go through every day.  I wish I could have told myself that I was beautiful and smart and destined to be something more than great.
