Should I Waist Cinch/Trim/Train? Pt.1

Neutrals

My friend April posted this on Facebook. Had to share it because it inspired this post: I laughed so hard when I saw this but she's right. Shortcuts are never the move but many women are using them to get the ideal body type. These days it's a literal hour glass: big breasts, teeny tiny waist and big hips and butt. I have no clue if the above pic was photoshopped, I just found it on Instagram. I say that because some women are actually built like this -but more often than not they had some help. For example there's camera filters, specific posing angles and photoshop apps for the internet and IG, but what about when you want that look in person? Do you know there's such a thing…

I've been cooking a lot this year & I really enjoy it! I'm always trying new things, experimenting with flavors & trying to make eating healthy fun -cause I mean, baked chicken & rice get old quick!

I want to share with y'all some of the things I whip up when I'm In the Kitchen. Here's the dish I made this week: Chicken Stir Fry (more…)

Lip Service: Kold Kurriculum

Corals

College life at an HBCU has yet to accurately depicted on the big screen but that's all about to change! Said to "cover several issues such as bullying, rape, peer pressure, and hazing", Leonard McCrary (a fellow ASU alum!) recently released the trailer to his much anticipated indie film Kold Kurriculum!! Check it out: [youtube http://youtu.be/g1rYaI24iFk] Having known Leonard for years & following his thespian career I knew a movie was in the works, it was only a matter of time. I know this was no easy feat for him- being a full time educator & father, being a newly wed AND welcoming his new baby girl all in 2014!! Congrats sir!! There has not been a release date set for Kold Kurriculum, but it is expected out in 2015. Be…

“Post it so I know it’s real”

Reds

I can't blame Drake lyrics for this but I kinda wish I could... Is nothing private these days? We all follow (& some of y'all are) those people who have every emotion, every promotion, every pitfall, every ignorant or profound thought & every waking moment of their day plastered all over their social media accounts. What makes it worse is the denial!! "I didn't think it would cause all that! People just need to mind they business & quit lurking/stalking my page/being thirsty!" Really. -__- Unless you were unaware of how this social media thing works: whatever you post will show up on our timelines, whether we want to see it or not. Whatchu want us to do, close our eyes to the tea you're spilling all over the world wide…

Regardless winter is on it's way out with its heavy sweaters and boots & the tanks, sundresses & sandals are eager to take precedence in our wardrobe.

Black & Sexy Baby!

Corals

This post is looooong overdue, partly because for some reason I haven't typed a review in ever. lol! But trust me, it's worth the read! I'm constantly hear my friends (in real life & on social media) complain about the state of black television today. "I can't stand the drama & foolishness on Love & Hip Hop!" -but you watch Basketball Wives. "Well I'm not featuring any of em! Not Love & Hip Hop, Basketball Wives, Real Housewives of Atlanta..." -chile hush, but you probably watch Single Ladies, Scandal or Being Mary Jane which gets just as much backlash! What's a solution to this problem? Put down your remote & pick up your mouse! There's tons of original series' online for us & by us *shout out to FUBU! 9…

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…
