Overcoming the Struggle Within Yourself

Pinks

contributed by Kaydee Sometimes in life you have to be a vessel for yourself. Gone are the days of crying into your pillow at night because you don’t know how the countless bills will get paid. Gone are the days of putting yourself down thinking you are not worthy to receive God’s blessings. The days of looking in the mirror disappointed with what you see are over. The pity parties you’ve been throwing, hosting, and attending every year are gone. Let God into your life. Let the blessings of God consume you and lift you up. If you don’t have a job; speak employment into your life. When you struggle to make ends meet; speak a blessing into your life. Kneel down on your knees and pray to God. Give…

The Lack of Black in Fashion

Pinks

contributed by Verity Reign Hey, darling loves! Here's one of my recent posts to HelloBeautiful----the definitive lifestyle resource for today’s Black woman. Enjoy! _______________________________________________________________________ Why I (and Women Who Look Like Me) Am to Blame for Fashion's Lack of Black By: Verity Reign It’s no surprise that when it comes to the world of mainstream fashion and beauty, our rich hues are very scarce. It’s been this way since the beginning. Growing up, I don’t remember too many brown models. As with each generation, there were a few tokens—Iman, Naomi and Tyra—that were constantly recycled in fashion and beauty campaigns, as if there was a shortage of qualified Black women on the planet to choose from. Every now and then we’d catch a new face, but the buzz around her was so quiet that you…

Personal Growth pt.2

Pinks

contributed by Kaii In a previous article from 2012 I wrote these words: “My definition of personal growth consists of finding out who you really are and the person you are destined to become. It’s not easy to do of course and this definitely takes time. In order to experience personal growth you will find that some people in your life will be left behind. Not everyone will want to grow up and put childish things aside, this is where you must separate yourself in order to find yourself. Your road to success should involve only those who desire to be successful as well. People who deal with drama, hate, and negative attitudes should be politely dismissed from your social atmosphere. God did not create us in a package,…

Get Over It. It’s Not That Deep

Pinks

by: Verity Reign Hey babes! Here's one of my latest posts to HelloBeautiful.com--the African American woman’s online lifestyle guide encouraging healthy and fabulous lifestyle choices! This one is about getting over petty matters. One of my biggest pet peeves is when my peers, well into their 20s and 30s, hold grudges over matters that happened back in high school and college! GET OVER IT! I even share my experience forgiving a former girlfriend who tried to make a pass (lots of passes, actually) at a former boyfriend. Be sure to leave your thoughts and follow me on Twitter: @VerityReign! Kay, thanks for reading & xoxo! _________________________________________________________________________________ I try to practice forgiveness as much as possible. Not only does it align with my spiritual and moral convictions, but things just aren’t that deep! Through the…

Blondie’s Spotlight

Reds

contributed by Kimberly Gilkes R&B Singer/ Songwriter/Model/Dancer Songbyrd Chellz On a sunny day in April I had the pleasure of sitting with singer Songbyrd Chellz. This lady is full of energy and talent! She has her own unique style when it comes to singing and clothing. Despite the fact that guys could not stop looking and even interrupting the interview I was able to dig into her mind so that readers can become well acquainted with her. She believes in following her dreams saying “It’s not a lot of people who can say I’ve lived out my dreams, and I will be one of those select few!” Blondie’s Lipstick Who or what has influenced you as an artist? Songbyrd Chellz I’m influenced by plenty of people, not just famous people;…

contributed by Ms. Vanie Atlanta’s own sexy model, designer, and hair stylist Corine Black sits with Ms. Vanie for an exclusive interview. She tells about her occurrence with Roscoe Dash and celebrity hair stylist Naomi Russell, and gives advice to young women wanting to branch into the entertainment industry. Vanie Okay Corine tell me how you got into the whole modeling thing? And what inspired you to model? Corine I started modeling originally when I was like eight for an agency; I did back to school wear a couple of times.

His Perfection

Pinks

contributed by Nique She is the epitome of what perfection would be if it existed…. I dream about the curves of her body and the arch of her back And wonder if I will ever be good enough to deserve to be in her presence I have memorized the smoothness of her forehead to the slope of her nose Every freckle on her face and the shape of her lips I can detail the elongation of her neck and I fantasize about the taste of her collarbone…. ….It’s the sweetest thing… My fingertips tingle from the memory of what her breasts feel like in my hands and the smooth expanse of her stomach and I am lost Lost in her…. My entire being is drawn to the space in-between her…

Repentance Is Not Just For Sinners

Pinks

contributed by Kaydee by David Wilkerson [May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011] The longer I walk with Jesus, the more I am convinced that repentance is not just for sinners, but also for believers. It is not simply a one-time thing, but something God's people are called to do until Jesus returns. Every Christian who maintains a repentant attitude brings upon his life God's special attention. Indeed, repentance opens up something to us that nothing else can. If we walk before the Lord with a repentant heart, we will be inundated with incredible blessings! A repentant heart is soft, tender and pliable, is and easily molded by the Holy Spirit. It responds to and acts upon godly reproof. The number-one characteristic of a repentant heart is a readiness to…

Skin Care: Cheap vs Expensive

Neutrals

contributed by Emmie Rose I recently wrote a piece on whether more expensive perfumes were actually better value than cheaper ones, and now I’m going to do the same but with skincare creams! I personally have a mixture of both expensive and cheap, so I want to see if I actually need both or whether I can save some money and hopefully help you out too! WAG Coleen Rooney and American beauty Christina Aguilera are among just a few stars that have brought out body butters in the same scent as their best-selling perfumes (surprise surprise). I own both and while they're purse pleasing and smell superb, they don't actually do anything! Despite claiming to even out my skin tone, banish my blemishes and restore my skin from dryness, they…

Let’s Talk About Sex Baby!!

Neutrals

contributed by Miss Tee Sex is a natural part of life and something we enjoy, so I’m sure we are all confident in our abilities to please our significant others. Be that as it may, I believe that we can all benefit from new ideas, advice and suggestions. And with that being said, I decided to give you all a few tips (or remind you all of a few tips) that you may want to consider to make sure your sex game is always A+. Tip #1: To make your oral sex experience a little better for your partner, make sure your juices are not foul tasting by being aware of what you eat and drink before you have sex. Avoid alcohol, coffee, caffeine, or cigarettes.…
