And what is it that you do?

Reds
Ever been asked that question & not know the answer? Or you knew the answer but it was gonna take you about 15mins to explain it? Well ergo my dilemma- what is Blondie's Lipstick? Well I've even thinking about & I got a lot going on over here.

Are you afraid of heartbreak?

Pinks
contributed by Nique You may look at that question and say, “Hell yeah, who wants their heart to be broken?” Of course no one does. But I’m not asking if you LIKE your heart being broken. I’m asking if you’re afraid of it. Are you passing up guys/girls because you suspect that the only inevitable conclusion with this person is heartbreak? Are you ending relationships too quick because you think there is no way things will ever get better and a quick escape is the best escape? Are you sticking to your significant other like white on rice because you feel like as soon as you let that person out of your sight, they will surprisingly become the clumsiest person in the world and then miraculously trip and fall “into”…

Taking a Chance

Pinks
contributed by Kaydee We all know the nervous feeling we get when were close to the one we have strong feelings for. The situation can almost be nerve wrecking because of some many conflicting feelings. On one hand you really like this guy/girl but on the other hand you don’t want to get hurt. Past relationships have taught you to stay alert and guarded. To stay cold and stiff when it comes to love. Sad huh? But that is exactly the harsh reality of today’s dating scene. Somewhere down the line the guy you thought would never break your heart did exactly that. The girl that you tried so hard to make your own turned on you in a flash and now you’re screaming “These b*tches ain’t s*it”. Sad huh?…

Is your wardrobe why you’re SINGLE?

Pinks
9 Summer Trends Men Hate (And How Your Wardrobe Is Keeping You Single!) We all know that men love short skirts and dresses – and thus summertime is their favorite season – but what warm weather trends do they actually despise? Sure, gladiator sandals and one-piece swimsuits are an obvious choice, but what else about this season and how women dress in it is a major turn off for men? (This story is for you single ladies out there, so please read closely! lets us peek inside the minds of men–for better or for more likely, worse!). We took a poll of SHEfinds staffers’ boyfriends, husbands, guy friends and strangers on the streets to find out what trends men hate (and more importantly – why) to get some insight. Note: the opinions expressed by chauvinists in…

Gentlemen Uncensored

Plums
I've recently fallen in love with a new youtube channel & this time it's not all about jokes, parodies and pranks! I've been following Madame Noire for some years now, probably almost as long as I've been on twitter! (which believe it or not has only been about 3 years) I love their content & a few weeks ago I discovered their youtube -yes, I'm super late. lol! Their latest series, Gentlemen Uncensored, is a look inside a mans mind on various topics and relationships with opinions from different types of men like 'The Divorcee' 'The Married Man' 'The Non-Committer', etc. Gentlemen Uncensored has me glued to the screen and anxious for the the next episode & you will be too! Check out Episode 2: Sex and More Sex Part…

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,…

What makes a “Bad B****”?

Plums
I have no idea where it started but for some reason we've become fascinated with being a “bad bitch”. I mean we could blame Trina for calling herself “The baddest b****” but she's been saying that since the late 90's & this is a more recent phenomenon. Now I'm not gonna lie, I have tossed it around with my friends in a “Ooh b****!!! You better work!!” meant entirely as a compliment but even with the most excitement I feel a sting from the b**** part when it's said back to me. I think when I hear it, in the back of my mind I'm picturing a Shenehneh like character that uses her physical appearance to get what she wants & doesn't complete her night without acting a fool in…
