Cuffing Season

Plums

I guess Imma need some batteries for winter! Get your minds out of the gutter! Thanks to Future & that crisp chill outside “I'm looking for 'em with a flashlight” is the lips of pretty much every single person anywhere! Yep, it's cuffing season folks & being in the single boat myself I gotta say it's starting to get to me!! & I blame the media! Normally my year starts off with me single, working on me & making myself happy. By spring I'm still making me happy but I'm focused on staying single so I can freely mingle during the summer. Fall comes around & I'm still happy but all of a sudden the “boo applications” & “booty call guidelines” along with the National Boyfriend Day & all the…

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…

Relationship SNAFU!!!

Pinks

So if you're a military brat or are just good at acronyms then you know what the title means. For those of you who don't, dont feel bad, neither did I til my coworkers told me! lol! SNAFU is a military term that stands for Situation Normal, All Fucked Up! lol! Now with my recent luck in relationships this phase seems to fit my luck with most guys. Things are going good (at least I think they are!) then all of a sudden he's super stalker or is an atheist, or has 3 kids he forgot to mention in our past 6 dates, or still has a girlfriend & is tryna audition me a the side line hoe, or he aint got no job & kicks it on the couch…

“Real Talk” from Comedians

Plums

Now from the title you may be a little skeptical. I'm not gonna lie, the first time I saw a comedian being serious I was too! After a while of seeing someone a certain way it's hard to picture them as something else. Like when the fashion-forward girl shows up in sweats & a faded t-shirt you think something's wrong! Maybe she just wants to chill for a day. or in this situation the funny guy is being serious. . . . Uh, the jokes have to turn off some time. We put them in this box & forget that they're normal people too! Well open up your eyes & ears to take in this real talk from these funny guys. [youtube http://youtu.be/M0eUWoqh64I] He was serious about twitter -> @LifeWithKev or @KevinEdwardsJr [youtube http://youtu.be/9YNwrAciuxQ]…

Verity Reign Says . . .

Pinks

Every now & then in my social media perusing I find a post that is so TRUTHFUL that I jus have to share it! This is one of those posts! Check out the latest from Verity Reign Pet Peeve: Friends Who Constantly Cry About Mr. Wrong but Never Leave Him! Okay, I'm not one with an unusually long list of pet peeves. Even when certain things (like smacking your food all up in my ear) annoy me, I'm pretty good at ignoring them and faking a convincing, wide smile as if all is well. One thing, however, that I cannot tolerate, is when women stay with trifling, good for nothing men and then call their BFF to complain about and weep over them! Jesus, take the wheel! Though Mary sings about the…

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.…

No One Likes A Bragger

Pinks

contributed by Sammie Jo We all know that person. The person who stumbles upon some magnificent fortune that the rest of us haven’t been able to attain and then proceeds to let everyone else know how lucky he or she is. This “fortune” doesn’t have to come in the form of cold, hard cash. It can be anything from a new car, to a new house, to a new job, to an engagement. I mean, sure, we all get excited when something wonderful happens to us. If you don’t, you’re weird! I was incredibly happy when I got my first big-girl job and I posted an update about it on Facebook and I called everyone who cares about me and I let them know. Done. But then there are those people who…

Thoughts from a Bald Head Cutie

Pinks

contributed by Beautiful PainApparently, it has become a problem for me or any other Black woman in particular to be an independent woman; call me confused, but I thought I was being raised to learn how to survive and take care of myself. Hell, weren’t we all raised and instilled with that desire? Seems to me that being an independent Black woman is being treated as an epidemic, and quite frankly, I think more women need to fall victim to this “problem.” Honestly though, I’m a bit confused; see men sit here and complain that all they keep finding are women who are gold diggers, lazy and only want them for their money. Yet, when they find a woman that wants to spend her own money or buy her own things,…

The Dilema

Pinks

contributed by Sammie Jo I’ve learned a lot about myself in the past twenty three years (Soon to be twenty four – yikes!) and one of the lessons that always sticks with me is that point blank, I want what’s bad for me. Or should I say, if it’s good for me, I don’t want it? If I’m at a restaurant, chances are I’m not going to drink water with lemon. If it’s a week night, may I have a sweet tea, please? If it’s a weekend, I’ll take a Bud Lite, por favor. If I’m hungry after a long day at work, the last thing I want is a salad with grilled chicken and a side of light ranch (Don’t you hate it when you go grab…

Thoughts from a Bald Head Cutie

Pinks

contributed by Beautiful Pain Are we as women the reason to blame for our being single? I mean think about it, we constantly complain that we end with the wrong man, that all the good ones are taken. After each failed relationship, we angrily declare that no man will hurt us again and the next guy will be put to the test to make certain that he isn’t like that last one. We hold onto this resolve, and wear our badge of wounded anger on our shoulder as a form of protection; until the next man. We meet this man who we feel is Mr. Wonderful and we give him our time and attention. We let him into our mind and give him our body and tell all our friends that…

The Dating Situation: Are there any rules to it?

Plums

If you thought I was going to lay down the rules of dating, think again. Fact is, there are no rules to dating. Think about it. Everybody has their own concrete idea as to what dating means to them. So establishing a guideline is close to impossible. You have to consider the millions of people who have their own perspective on how to “get to know” somebody. Dating is more than the hot restaurants, expensive wine and the other cliché activities that comes with the idea.Why date anyway? Just make me feel good…have a little money and/or class…and we live happily ever after…. Right? If only it was that easy. One thing we can all agree on is the meaning of dating. Basically, it’s the process of figuring out if…
