“Hey let’s get away…”

Neutrals
*le sigh* I know I haven't updated the site in a min but y'all I haven't had time. I've been working 7 days a week, outside of that I've jus been tryna live! Needless to say I need a vacay like you wouldn't believe!! Or at least But knowing my single struggle 2 of those aren't currently an option. Lol! Also I'm one of the millions of adults that don't work in education so no spring/summer break on the horizon for me. :-( But all is not lost!! Here's some activities you can do while you're solo dolo to relax, unwind & won't break the bank! Meditate an hour before bed My sleep pattern is all over the place: one night I'm going to bed at 2am (normal cause I…

Single vs. Solitary

Reds
This single life... Boy I tell ya! Can you say roller coaster ride?! That's why I titled this post as such because sometimes being single is a badge of honor, other times it feels like an undetermined sentence to solitary confinement!   Is being single easy? HELL NO!! I'll be the FIRST to tell you that! lol! Especially those solitary moments... & a sista's celibate at the same time!! Whoo!! From K.Michelle's latest mixtape making me hate every man except my daddy, to the old school love songs on repeat on the radio (as I'm typing this Boys II Men is crooning "End Of The Road" in my earbuds), to muscly rippling physiques on IG... & steamy tv romance like MJ & Andre [Being Mary Jane]... yeah, the struggle is…

All Deez Squats…

Neutrals
I don't always workout when I'm supposed to (more like hardly ever these days!) but one thing I don't miss is my squats!! Thanks Idris! lol! I follow a lot of fitness pages & one thing that irks me is the disbelief that hard work & dedication can give you the body that you want. More specifically get you the booty you want! That's how you get everything else you want in life, why wouldn't your body be the same?! I've never been a big booty chick (or even a medium! I'm more of a super smedium) but being a black female, I can honestly say I've been body conscious about it since at least high school. When I started getting in to fitness it was purely to get healthy…

Well, potentially…

Reds
I didn't wanna bum anybody out with this yesterday since it was Valentine's Day & all but I gotta get this off my chest. So here goes! Idk about you but I'm so fed up with dating someones potential. Don't know what I'm talking about? That's when you're with someone that's below your "list", your requirements in a man because he has THE POTENTIAL to be that man you want. You probably even convinced yourself that the reason he hasn't reached that potential is because he hasn't met the right woman to motivate him & believe in him & blah blah blah. No offense boo boo, but if the last chick couldn't do it, what makes your "purse", as Tamar says, so special?! It ain't an easy pill to swallow…

Late Night Thoughts

Pinks
I jumped out the shower to share this with y'all. Hey, sometimes when something hits you you jus gotta write it down! I just moved & I was already in a rut 3 weeks in -one that didn't include Blondie's. Not my happiest of times either. But in my lack of entertainment (hadn't hooked up the cable & my neighbor's wifi wasn't that reliable) I took the time to write. The passion that sparked what's now Blondie's Lipstick, the motive behind my broadcast journalism career, my original love that I always planned to return to. Had another moment like this one: fresh out the shower, idea/thought turning backflips in my head, headed straight to the MacBook or my spiral notebook to jot it down. I'm noticing a pattern.... Lol! Anywho,…

That New New!!

Reds
It's almost a new year and for many it's the time to make resolutions you won't keep and fill up social media with the "New Year, New Me" posts. In the words of a typical 80's teen "UGH!!! Gag me with a spoon!" lol! Look I get that a new year is a great time to restart your life but before you have the gaul to let those fingers type those words or your lips utter that phrase, look around you- if you made that same status last year but ain't a damn thing changed & you have yet to make any moves to do so, SPARE US!!! Yes, speaking it into existence is important but if no ACTION follows you're just wasting your breathe! Some of you may be…

Is Your Relationship Toxic?

Pinks
I was perusing Facebook, came across this article & had to share it with you guys! You may not like his honesty but before you get in your feelings realize you might be upset because he's talking about YOU! Article from Mark Manson 6 Toxic Relationship Habits Most People Think Are Normal There’s no class in high school on how to not be a shitty boyfriend or girlfriend. Sure, they teach us the biology of sex, the legality of marriage, and maybe read a few obscure love stories from the 19th century on how not to be. But when it comes down to actually handling the nitty-gritty of relationships, we’re given no pointers… or worse, we’re given advice columns in women’s magazines. Yes, it’s trial-and-error from the get-go. And if…

Results Are In!!

Neutrals
Well my dears, #NoWaistNovember has come to an end! I'm happy & sad to see it go! Not to mention the year is slipping away. Before you know it it'll be swimsuit season & we'll be showing off all the hard work we've been doing! Speaking of showing off, I told you guys I'd share my results from #NoWaistNovember & here they are: I ordered & received my waist cincher on week 2 & I can tell the difference. You can also tell the difference between week 3 & week 4- yeah, I fell prey to the "Thanksgiving & slack on the gym" bug. Lol! Regardless of that my waist did shrink from 29" to 27 1/2" over the month!! I wish it would have shrunk more but there's only…

Idk about you but it's a slim (& I mean SUPER slim) chance I'll reach my goals by the 30th & I'm okay with that!! My body has changed for the better these past few weeks & I know my fitness journey is far from over! This week we're gonna go out in a blaze of glory!

#NoWaistNovember

Neutrals
So you've been focusing on your core all week & perhaps you haven't seen much of a change. That's okay!! Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day! & don't let others discourage you from your goal! Now on to this weeks exercises! **I am NOT a fitness expert!!!!** I'm simply sharing routines, exercises & recipes I use I decided to kick my waist training up a notch by ordering a waist cincher (aka a corset). One of my favorite fitness gurus, Jenelle aka GetBodiedBy_J, posted some pics of herself exercising with it on her IG & being that I dream of a banging body like hers I decided to do the same! If y'all coulda seen me tryna wrestle to get this thing on..... Lol! I've only worn it twice…
