IPad or IPhone?


So ever Since the IPhone 4 has came out and getting the chance to place around with my cousin Denise phone I think I want one now. BUT I'm not sure if I want the Ipad or the IPhone. Ever since the Ipad came out someone was going to buy it for me but never did (for whatever reason). So I am trying to wait it out to see it they do an upgrade of the Ipad after Christmas time. Because I would hate to buy the Ipad now and they come out with an upgrade in a few weeks. So I am going to try and wait for the upgraded one to come out. This way when it does I will make my decision on which one I want. I think the new Ipad that they do come out with is going to have an camera and face time on it. And that is what I want. So until then I will just wait and look and get other Apple products I want!

I NEED YOUR SUPPORT


So this may be my deepest blog to date. (I was even thinking about doing a video blog but I'm not ready to let y'all see me cry) So here it goes...

It is no big surprise anymore that yes I am overweight. And for the longest while I have been saying that I am comfortable with my size. Well I have been lying to y'all. I am comfortable with who I have had to become while being this size. Looking in the mirror use to be fun for me at one point in time. But since I was laid off from my job and gained more weight I have not been content with the person that is looking back at me when I get dressed and look in the mirror. Do I think I am beautiful person inside and out? YES! But sometimes I'm just not seeing it look back at me in the mirror. I have STRUGGLED with my weight for years. And I have no one to blame but myself for allowing myself to get this way. I have been on diets after diets and they have work but I will always find myself beginning to slip back into eating those comfort foods and fast foods. WELL NO MORE WILL I ALLOW THIS! I'm ready to take back my health!

So as of November 1, 2010 I will be on a journey to a Better me. But I know I can't do this alone. I need the support of my friends and family. Challenge me to go for a walk or jog in the park. Or ask me what I ate today teach me ways that I can eat healthy with you. Cook for me. Drag me to the gym with you show me your workout routine. I've come to realized the only way I am going to get over this bump in my life is with the help, support and love from friends and family. So don't be afraid to call me out either. If you see me even trying to eat something I'm not supposed to don't be afraid to take it away from me. And don't temp me with food either. I'm a strong person but I'm not that strong yet. I figured together you can help me get to my goal weight. I bet you wanna know what that is right? Well my goal weight is to be healthy lol(I'm not telling how much I weigh or how much I wanna weigh)!

Some people will ask how is that I let myself get this far in my weight. It is very simple it is called going to collage and being home sick, and becoming depressed about things that was and still are going on in my life. So I ask you my friends and family take this journey with me and help me challenge myself to become a healthier DIVA because I'm ready to lose this weight for REAL NOW. I can no longer let it hold me back in what I want to do in life.

Diva Meets Pandora

So this past weekend I had a little get together at my house. And I was worried that I would become a DJ No Clue! One of my friends came by and downloaded Pandora on to my I-touch! And let me tell you that is the best thing that has happened to me since my nephew! (not really lol but you get the point). Needless to say when ever I come home I put Pandora on and I get into this groove where I can't be stop. While I had Pandora on the Trey Songs station I found my self cleaning my hall way, and the party evidence so my father does not find out! Once I got to cleaning the living room and my bedroom I had to switch it up and I put it on a Micheal Jackson station and that was a wrap the Broom became my mic and my messy bedroom was my stage. I work that stage like I was really Micheal himself... that was until I over did it and hit my head on my 50inch flat screen. Don't ask me how I did it but lets just say the bump is still there. All in all I felt like Dora the explorer when it came to Pandora. I will forever recommend this to my friends and family. By the way is it safe for me to say that I thought Pandora was another word for a closet hoe or something.

I'm Gonna Kick His Ask

I get a kick out of this everytime I watch it! I love it when kids can make me laugh like this!


Monster

So I was told by a friend of mine that I should listen to the song Monster by Kanye West featuring Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, and Bon Iver. After listening to the track I did not like it because of the beat. BUT i listed to it again with and while I was listening to it I was reading the lyrics to it. After all I did all of that about the tenth time of listening to it I live it. And I must give Nicki Minaj her credit because her verse was tight work. I am not a big fan of hers at all. But I guess she is the new hip hop (even though I prefer the old hip hop any day). However the song Monster in my eyes is an OK song.

Un-bee-Weaveable


So for the longest time I have been wanting a weave. (yes I said it a weave)
I just can't get on the natural train just as yet. I do support all my ladies that are going natural, y'all are truly my inspiration. I have been searching for months I think maybe even a year now for the perfect hair style. I must say I have now narrowed it down to two hair styles. One of which Jazmine Sullivan wears in one of her videos and the other out of a hair magazine. Both I believe are my style and I don't feel I will get lost under all that hair.
Now my biggest problem is finding the right person to put in this weave. Many people say that they can do weaves and all but I have seen some tacky looking weaves in my day. And I just cant be one of them. So my dilemma now is to find a hairdresser that specializes in weaves and can make my vision come to life without the use of a whole lot of product that weighs down my hair! As well as something that can be washed and styled again!

God Is Good


Now that the Chilean miners have been rescued, they face the psychological impact of that ordeal: Anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, and depression. The rescue is really far from over- the aftermath is also their battle now.
The 33 miners that was trap for 69 days, 700 meters below ground was nothing short but an act of God that they all survived. There is a lot of talk for these guys coming on talk shows and maybe even some of them getting a book deal. I can not begin to imagine what these 33 Chilean miners have endured through the past 69 days. But what I did do was pray for them and their safe journey home back to there families. And I will continue to pray for them on the next few days , or even mouths and years for some of these miners to get back to there normal self again.
I mean can you imagine 69 days 700 meters below ground? That is 2,041 feet below ground people! Some times you just have to sit back and thank God that you are still alive.

Thanks


So the past few weeks have been crazy for me.
My friend/ babymother Tierra was expecting a baby. And you know when your a good, or try to be a good friend? You call, text or email to see how things are going.
So that is what I was doing for the last few days of her pregnacey. I must admit that everytime I would call or text and I got no answer I got a little upset becasue I only want to know how she was doing. It was later explained to me while I was venting my furstration to someone that just had a baby that sometimes woman may take a few days to relax and menatily prepare for the new journey they are about to embark on. After that was explain to me I thought to myself I will give her the time she needs. And I did just that! Needless to say TaylorLynn was born a healthy baby and the very next late night I got a call from TaylorLynn's mom letting me know how everything went. It was in that moment in time that I realized just how much my friends mean to me.
I know at times we all go though our problems ups and downs, good and bad, and it is only natural for your true friends to check inn and see how you are doing. Even though you may not speek to them when they call becuase your are going though it. When you do speak to them it is reassurance to them for looking out and being a good friend.
So I just wanted to thank TaylorLynn and her mom for reasurring me that things was ok between me and them!

Diva's Do it Better


So this morning when I got off of work I went to go get my nails done at Dashing Diva of course.
I not only go to Dashing Diva because they are the best but because of the level of service I am getting. They take pride in your nail and feet.

Now I have been going there for a while so ladies and guys know me pretty well there.
But today I really let my hair down and let a male do my nails!
Now normally when I think of guys doing nails I think rough! I don't like it rough one cent (get your mind out the gutter)!
While Kevin (name of the guy that did my nails) was doing my nails he was gentle!
We even had a good conversation about guys doing nails. By the time I notice my nails were done and it was time to dry!
Now normally when your nail tech is done with your nails they give you a little neck and shoulder massage.
This massage was to die for he was so gentle and kind with my neck and shoulders that I could have ask him to marry me. It was in that moment that I feel in love with him and his hands and now I want more. I think from now on I am going to have Kevin do my nails and feet. Because lord only knows if he could make me feel that way with my neck and shoulder image how my feet would feel?
This is why I love Dashing Diva's its a place ONLY for REAL DIVA'S


Ladies Whip Your Hair

Roc Nation's newest signee Willow Smith's debut single "Whip My Hair" is burning up the Internet! The Catchy tune is a celebration of freedom, energy, expression and liberating yourself by "Whipping your hair"

When I first heard this song I nearly just brushed it off only because she is the daughter to a mogul family. So it was natural for me to believe that just because her family has money we must think she has all the talent in the world! Well lets just say now I'M EATING MY WORDS!

After I took a real good listen to the song I am in love with it. Not only because I like to whip my hair but because what the song stands for. So I whip my hair back and forth for a lot of reasons.

So next time you see me Whipping my hair back and forth just know I'm doing it for a good reason! And I think you should whip your hair too LOL.

Is there Such A thing?

For as long as I can remember I have always dated the "bad boy" type. And they are still very much my type. But What I was wondering was is there such a thing of "A BAD BOY WHO LOVES THE LORD?" If so I think he needs my number ASAP because I would like to take him out on a date!
