Do You Know Your Freedoms?

Plums
Black Balance Media, the group that brought us the lovely gem know as Pirated Fashion, is back with another project called The Freedom Project. The goal is to "explore the general public's understanding of the First Amendment and sit down with members of the North Carolina legal community to answer questions and dispel misconceptions on 'freedom' in the United States." So the question is "Do You Know Your Freedoms?" Check out Part 1 of their research [youtube http://youtu.be/n-5w5c7prYI] And Part 2 [youtube http://youtu.be/g7nopizxPQg] NOW THEY NEED YOUR HELP!!!  Their goal is to raise $2,500 produce the documentary, that will begin filming in November 2013.

Thank God For Medicated Chapstick & Raye Raye!!!

Neutrals
Obviously from the title of this site LIPS, LIPSTICK & the like are quite important to me. lol! So as you could imagine I wasn't pleased when my lips turned on me! Idk what was going on with my lips the past few weeks but out of nowhere they were cracking and dry -which doesn't look good no matter how much lipstick you try to cover it with! I LOVE my lipsticks & my lips in general & even though I'm not currently smooching anyone on the regular I still want my lips to look & feel kissable! At my lowest point & when I was close to tears I remembered a video I watched a while ago from one of my favorite youtube beauty gurus It's My Raye Raye,…

Spot the Block!!

Neutrals
[youtube http://youtu.be/unlhHbpukt8] All my cartoon lovers might remember that goody! It's a silly song but they're telling the truth. All the exercise in the world wont get you 100% results if your eating habits are bad. I know I'm guilty of grabbing a snack or fixing a plate full of food then stuffing (more like OVER-stuffing) my face.until I'm no longer hungry. Prime example- you grab a bottle of soda, juice or even one of those yummy Naked smoothies and down the whole thing. However if you had've "spot the block" before that, you'd see that only 8oz (about half the bottle) is the proper serving size. The issue is a lot of use are on the "see food" diet -we see food, we eat it. We're full but why waste…

About That Flat Abs Challenge . . . .

Neutrals
A couple a weeks ago I told you guys about MankoFit's Flat Abs Challenge & how I was taking that challenge. . . . Yeah, so about that. I fell completely off that thing. lol! I honestly tried my hardest & did pretty good up until Easter Sunday. I'm a southern girl so all that good cooking was calling my name & that was all she wrote! lol!

Flat Abs Challenge

Neutrals
Like many of you, I made it a goal of mine (not gonna call it a new years resolution cause I started my journey in November) to get fit & have the hot body I always dreamed of! Not jus for spring break, not jus for summer, I wanna be hot year round! I will admit I've fallen off the wagon more times than I can count -sugar & junk food are usually my demise- but that's okay! Each time I start over I'm more disciplined because I know nobody is gonna GIVE me the body I want, I'm gonna hafta GO GET IT!!! Now enough of my Tuesday inspiration. Lol! One of the things that keeps me on track is instagram! I get to stalk my body crushes (I…

This show had everything!! -from the everday glamour looks to the over the top avant garde pieces, we were entertained from beginning to end!!
