This just spoke to me today...

"Don't play small! Stand up! Take charge! You are doing yourself and others a disservice by catering your actions towards how you think others will react. Instead, just be yourself, exactly as you are. When you are simply being yourself you will attract everything that is in alignment with who you truly are. You will be shocked to see who drops away. Their absence will leave a space for new and amazing relationships to enter your life. Just be you, and let everyone else do what they may. You are not what others believe you to be, you are what you know you are and nothing else. Just be. You will be rewarded for your courage with a life that reflects your true essence instead of an invented identity created to "please others". Ahhhh, doesn't it feel good to just be!?" 

Khanyi is too Kute!

So I was going through Khanyi Mbau's profile on twitter (don't ask, lol) and stumbled across some pics she tweeted. I never knew the girl had style, I mean don't get me wrong I always see her red carpet outfits but they are always too 'bling' (except for the impeccable suit she wore at the 2011 SAMA awards), the outfits she puts together on a day to day basis however, tell a different story...

These heels tho, too kute!



2011 SAMA Awards



Leila Lopes Miss Universe 2011

I am so excited that an African won the Miss Universe pageant this year. People have different opinions on pageants but Im just glad that the perception of beauty is no longer based on European looks and figures. Leila Lopes is a 25 year old former model and student who grew up in the UK and is also currently studying there. She represented Angola at this year's Miss Universe.

Wedge Obsession Part 3

I do posts on wedges on the blog quite a bit, and now that it's spring, ive noticed that they have become quite popular with the ladies. Since everyone is wearing them, I figure if you are gonna rock them, might as well keep it interesting and unique. Here are a few pairs to inspire your wedge collection:

MTV VMA 2011: What they wore

The MTV Video Music Awards took place last night at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. The biggest news of the night had to be King B announcing that she is preggies (oh and lady gaga came as a man, yawn). Congrats to her. Anyway, let's get to the business of the day, this is what some of the celebs wore to the event:

Adele-I love you but you gotta embrace those beautiful curves, you're only 21 come on girl!

Beyonce-I didnt particularly like this dress, dont get me wrong its nice but I think there's too much material nje.

Britney Spears

Jessie J- I have'nt quite grasped what kind of look she is going for or what her style is but I love her!

Katy Perry- What a cliche

Kelly Rowland

Kim KH- uhm arent you supposed to be on your honeymoon?

Kreayshawn

Lady  Gaga- Im bored now.

Lil Mama- She does not look happy, don't know if it's the outfit or maybe she's going through some ish but hai shem ke sono.

Nicki Minaj- She get's the RG worst dessed award.

Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose- Amber, you almost look like a lady *claps hands*. but no really, this is the nicest she's looked this year, simple, elegant and still sexy! I'm sure Wiz was high as usual *hides*

Zoe Saldana-I just love her!

Ok so really everybody kinda sucked in terms of the dress code, i didnt bother putting up the likes of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, but maybe there are some pics out there of celebs who actually looked awesome on the night.

PS: I'm really bummed that my boo Riri did not get a single nomination for these awards. So yeah Ri, they can suck it *sticks tongue out*

FOREVER 27

"It's okay in the day
I'm staying busy
Tied up enough so I don't have to wonder where is he
Got so sick of crying
So just lately
When I catch myself I do a 180
I stay up clean the house
At least I'm not drinking
Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking
That silent sense of content
That everyone gets
Just disappears soon as the sun sets..." — Amy Winehouse

Me

 Hey Ladies, one thing I realised is that there will always be a girl who's prettier, taller, thinner, lighter, 'thicker' and so on...why do we sit around and beat ourselves up? Don't try and compete with sum1 other than yourself, embrace the inner and outter gifts God gave you. Here are a few pics of beautiful black women i found online. I hope this inspires you to celebrate your uniqueness, no matter what you look like!
