Dear Bently

Pinks

Relationships: One to ManyBoundaries So with all my relationship experience one thing I do know is MEN HAVE ISSUES WITH CREATING BOUNDARIES. When an “ex” is no longer in the picture, she/he needs to know their place. Ex means; old, no longer, left out, TOTALLY IRRELEVANT. So with that being said, an en ex should not be included in the present relevant picture. Honesty is the best policy in these instances because sometimes the “other” person does not know they are over stepping their boundaries. In every relationship communication is key. For example, my friend’s boyfriend is in a picture with another girl that is a “friend”. This “friend” likes my friend’s boyfriend. So my friend has asked him about the picture, you know like when was this picture taken,…

Unrequited

Pinks

I’m done with the gamesThe lies and the miscommunication and the secrets that I’m not toldWe were suppose to be differentWe were suppose to be above the normBut yet you still carry on behind my back as if I’m that naïveI know about the textsThe calls that end with “I Love You Too”,When I’m not the one on the receiving end of that callHow is it possible that you can still look at me with love in your eyes?….when you love someone elseHow is it you can still tell me I mean something to you?…..when I’m not the only one who doesMaybe I missed something?A big sign that was suppose to warn me about thisI felt something was wrongLike something was going on behind my backBut I believed your words…

Outlook From Within

Pinks

When I think about the many things that God has done for me in my life a smile comes over my face. To think that someone can care so much for you and stand by you, when no one else is around brings me joy. So why then do we not take the time to fully glorify God? I’m not talking about just reading the Bible or getting daily scriptures sent to your phone from various apps. I’m talking about really glorifying him and lifting up his name for all that he has done for us.Women are supposed to be strong individuals who “hold” everything around them down. So much pressure is put on a woman because we constantly have to prove ourselves. It is easy then, for women to…

HOTT Summer Health and Beauty Advice!

Neutrals

Summer is here and BA-BY it is HOTT, so I decided to compile a few health and beauty tips to help you get through the rest of these scorching summer days: *Need something to keep your skin soft, smooth, and radiant?!? Palmers Deep Radiance Oil Gel is a great product to add to your summer beauty regimen (Make sure you do not get Palmers Moisturizing Gel this one will leave you sliding all over the place) Vaseline’s Cocoa Butter Oil Gel work wonders for your skin as well. Both products are wonderful and they do not leave your skin feeling heavy, oily, or greasy. I highly recommend these products.*Are certain areas of your body unusually darker than the rest or have you gotten a really dark tan and you want to…

Hey Pretty Lady!!

Neutrals

I’m sure the summer heat has kept you from your normal makeup regimen. Summer makeup needs are particularly different than any other season. I’m sure you are already familiar with what this heat can do to a beautifully made-up face. Here are a few suggestions for getting pretty these dog days of summer: *Clean your face thoroughly before and after applying makeup. Make sure you use a moisturizer that has some sunscreen protection because even though African Americans have more pigmentation in our skin we still need protection from the sun. *Less is more: go for the natural look this summer which means less use of your normal foundation and more use of powder or bronzer powder. Too much foundation can cause you to look oily and could end in…

Dear Bently

Pinks

Relationships: One to Many A Packaged Deal A package is usual a box or container that holds one or more things, whether it be clothing, household goods, or even a parent and their child(children). So this is for all my SINGLE MOTHERS; not baby mamas; but the ones that are keeping their children first. When I say first, I mean, who don’t put men before them, don’t stay out late on school nights because you have to get up to make sure they get to school on time, not looking for a sugar daddy or support system, the mothers that realize that once they had children they have to set aside childish ways, a GOOD mother. This is for the young and old alike because there are some women that feel…

Health tips and advice for Men

Neutrals

Father’s Day is less than a week away, and in addition to giving our father’s their favorite brand of cologne, a nice pair of shoes, or a stylish new outfit, it is also a great time to remind the special men in our lives of the importance of their health. We want them around for many more years to come. It is no secret that getting men to go to the doctor is not an easy task. Most men don’t like going. A recent CDC study states that women are 33% more likely to visit a doctor than men. The CDC also states that on average women survive men by over five years. The Men’s Health Network states that men die at a higher rate than women from the top ten…

Inspiration to Fathers

Pinks

Men are the epitome of strength and maturity. But some of the young mothers of our generation threaten those qualities. I’ve had the unfortunate opportunity to know, personally, some of these women who will drag a man through cracks just to prove a point. And let’s just suffice it to say that I don’t associate myself with those women anymore. I’m not saying that all men possess these qualities. But I’m sure you can think of some who do. All it takes is one look to know that he feels defeated and at a loss of what to do. That look, that is the equivalent of a movie. Where you can see everything his mouth can’t say but his heart is screaming to let out. Because he’s underappreciated and treated…
