Twist Out Using Curl Enhancing Smoothie & Eco Syler

Twist out using Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Eco Styler Gel. Because I have both products on hand I think I am going to try this out tonight. I did a twist out with the Curl Enhancing Smoothie the other night but my curls were not as defined but my hair was soft. I am hoping that this will balance out the Eco Styler and not leave my hair as crunchy as it seems to be when I use the Eco Styler and other products. We shall see

Better Get To Livin’

Was laying in bed last night thinking that I needed to come up with a game plan for what I want to do with my life. That things may not be going the way that I want because I haven’t come up with a definite plan. After all you have to give God something to bless.

Then this morning when I got up and a Facebook friend had posted this song by Dolly Parton that pretty much sums up what your attitude towards life should be.

Can We Stop With The Male Advice For Women Books Please?

Heard on the talk radio this morning another guy (Dr. Eli I think) who has another book to tell women what men think. I guess this is going to be big business seeing as how there is a great number of single women. (Not to mention the fact that ‘Think Like A Man’ is a huge hit). However, you can read these books all day long and it is not really going to work. Why? Because all men are not the same. What works for one will not necessarily work for another one. Plus the “advice” given in these books can be ridiculous some times. For example, the guy today told women don’t give it up to fast but waiting too long can be bad too. So what are we supposed to attach a an alarm clock to our privates for it to go off at the precise “magic” time? Kind of like a microwave, it will ding when it’s ready.

My advice: be you. There is someone out there who is perfect for who you are now and if there are some little things that you do need to change, then you will change it for that person because they have already accepted most of you as you are. If you have to play games to get and keep a man then he isn’t worth having. #imjustsayin

Geraldo Rivera: Treyvon Martin’s Hoodie Just As Responsible For Death. WTH?

Here we go again (video at the bottom). I am so sick of people trying to blame Treyvon for his death while at the same time admitting that he was innocent and did nothing wrong. So now, according to Geraldo Rivera, it’s his hoodie that was the problem. He is urging black and Latino parents to not let their kids wear hoodies. So now wearing a hoodie is a white privilege.

So instead of addressing the problem, which is racial profiling, he is instead looking for ways around it. It doesn’t matter what Treyvon was wearing. He is a teenager, they wear flippin hoodies. That is how they dress. So now since some criminals also wear hoodies, they can no longer wear them?

I’ve seen white kids wear their pants low. You mean to tell me that if this were an all American white teenager who was wearing his pants low and got shot, that Geraldo would have been allowed on Fox News to go on and on with his ridiculous claim about watching how you are dressed? Helllll no! But because there is nothing that Fox News likes more than a good lecture to minorities on how they should behave, they let him go on with this. Absolutely ridiculous! What an idiot!

First we have Sean Hannity suggesting that Treyvon Martin’s death could just be a “tragic accident”. Although I don’t know how stalking and shooting an unarmed teenager is an accident, but whatever. And now we have this. So now we know what is going to happen. Fox News is going to help out Zimmerman’s defense attorney by helping to plant seeds of doubt. This is disgusting and low, even for Fox News.

Hillary Clinton on Extremists’ Focus on Women

In this video (below) Hillary makes a very important point. She starts out by saying “Why extremists always focus on women remains a mystery to me.” I couldn’t agree more. Look at the extreme number of bills that have been introduced (mostly in state legislatures) that are designed to hinder a woman’s right to choose.

Whether you are pro-life or not you should have a problem with the state mandating that a woman have an invasive procedure (transvaginal ultrasound) that she doesn’t want and that her doctor says in unnecessary. Of course these lawmakers are saying that they are doing this in the best interest of the women and that they just simply want them to have all of their information first. Yeah because women can’t make these decisions for themselves and have no idea what is involved (sarcasm fully intended here).

One of the best responses to these bills have been from female lawmakers who are saying basically what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. Some examples are proposed legislation that would make men have a rectal exam before getting a vasectomy and another that makes men watch a video that shows the what could happen when they take Viagra — you know so that they will have all of their information first.

At the end of the day this is nothing more than an attempt to legislate morality which you cannot do. They want to limit abortions, but they also don’t want easy access to birth control (which of course in turn would limit abortions). They think that if they just shame women enough they can make them do what they want them to do (this being staying home barefoot and pregnant but anyways). The bottom line is this: There is a war against women being waged and we better be prepared to fight.

Why All Females Need A Close Male Friend

Recently I was talking to one of my best friends, who is a guy, about relationships (particularly my failed ones) and it went like this:

Me: Why can’t I just be walking in the grocery store and see the guy of my dreams. We date. We get married and we have a couple of kids. Why can’t my life be like that.

Him: Because you are not in a Tyler Perry movie. You don’t have him writing out your life for you.

Me: You are such an ass. Bahahaha

And that is the difference between having a male friend and a female one. When I’ve made this comment to my female friends we go on and on about how great it would be to finally meet the guy or our dreams. Not to mention how we wished that it would be a little easier.

However with a male friend, there is none of that. It’s the facts and just the facts. That is why I say that all females need a close non-gay male friend in their life. Their insight on things is invaluable even if it just reinforces your belief (and the fact) that men are just plain crazy. lol

Tyler Perry on How To Be Successful

Someone posted this on Facebook and I just had to share. His message is so true. I love Tyler and love the fact that he tries to portray a positive message. A lot of people down him but look at the number of jobs that he has created for our people with his studios and how many actors and actresses he has give a chance through his play, television shows and movies. How many people in his position can say that?

Father Burns Flag In Protest of Whitney Houston Tribute

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion about whether or not they agreed with Gov. Chris Christie deciding to fly the flag at half-staff to honor Whitney Houston who was of course a New Jersey Native.

But the father of a fallen soldier who died in Iraq took it one step further when he burned the New Jersey flag in protest. (Well at least he didn’t burn the American flag). He felt that it cheapened lowering the flag and that it should only be lowered for those who served their country.

The funny thing is that the gov lowered the flag for two other people who were not soldiers or policemen. They were Morristown coach Harry Shatel and E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons. I am willing to bet that there were not any protests those times. Hmmmm, I wonder why.

What this is about is the fact that Whitney Houston had troubles during her final years. There are many who feel that she should not be honored because of this. I say that she was an icon who influenced many and will continue to do so after her passing. How does honoring her this way take away from others who had been honored? I can see if the governor had a choice between lowering the flag for Whitney or lowering the flag for someone else on that day and he chose to do it for Whitney instead or if he lowered the flag for every Tom, Dick, and Harry. But that is not the case.

I think this (lowering the flag) is along the same lines of the question of whether or not to give the soldiers who served in Iraq a parade. Although I think that would be a great way to honor them, how about helping our soldiers get jobs when they get out of the service? How about making sure that they never again have to give their lives needlessly for a stupid war? Answering questions like these, in my opinion, is the real way that we can honor our soldiers who give their lives to protect this great country of ours.
