"I had mine before we met & he had his"- Beyonce, on her and Jayz


Some things I want for myself within the next three years:

  • own place
  • TRUE FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE
  • job in the industry that I love
  • my own business really up and running
  • part of an organization that helps the community
  • The MAN of my dreams and love of my life

Now the man part is at the end for a reason. I want to have my own before I really, really settle down with someone. I agree with people when they say you should be friends first because it helps build a foundation. Men for some reason (and this is a good quality) want to have certain things in order before they seriously settle down with "the one." One day while listening to the radio I heard a good conversation between a man and a woman that made me think.

Woman: "So what is a woman supposed to do, just wait for a man to come & sweep her off her feet?"

Man: "YES!"

That statement is so true for a few reasons (but I'm only gonna talk about one). Now to wait idle is not the meaning, but waiting and in the mean time getting yours! Getting your money right, going on that dream trip with your girlfriends, just doing you! Men are going to get theirs. They usually do not wait till they meet their special lady to then go after their dreams. To men having a real woman is the "icing on the cake." Now following this concept has not been easy, actually it's really hard but I know it is worth it. Ladies if we get the idea into our heads that a man is supposed to come after us, we will step our game up. The more and more he has to work the more and more valuable we become. I don't mean play little girl mind games just be true to who you are and make him step up to the plate. Men want what they can't have, they enjoy a chase, and they have since cave men times. Let them do what is natural for them to already do. The more work and worth you put into yourself the more they see that and adjust. Hard to sometimes do, but it only works in our benefit.

I know what I want and for the most part who I want, but time needs to run its course with us. In the meantime I'm going to get mine and I know he is getting his, and when we get to the next level we will know that we are blessed because we are equal! He will love me cause I got my own.......hahaha Smooches ladies!!!

"There are no ugly women, only lazy ones." Helena Rubinstein
Ok, ladies time for some honesty (and we all need it from time to time).....I have a huge pet peeve concerning lazy women in terms of upkeeping their visual appearance. Chipped nail polish, ashy legs/feet, no earrings in ears, etc. are all unacceptable. A few extra moments in the morning or before going out in the evening goes a longggggggg way!!! I'm not 100% perfect but I do try to be conscious of the way that I look whether in sweat pants or a mini dress. I mean picture it a woman with banged out makeup, a cute little black dress and the baddest pair of Zac Posen heels you ever layed eyes on and her feet are cracked, nail polish chipped, and her undergarments are visibly showing (and not in the cute fashionable way.) Uhgggg, catastrophe!!
The foundation of any outfit is the body and if the foundation is screwed up then anything you put on top of it is just not going to appear beautiful. A polished look is what we should be going for ladies, and visual panty lines, head scarf still on from last night's sleep, and hairy legs will not get us that. Most of us desire to be fashionable, stylish, and polished. We want the opposite sex (or same sex whichever you prefer) to view us as a "bad chick" and like we have ourselves together!
First impressions are everything and it would be to your best interest to look presentable. Don't get me wrong I am not encouraging buying designer clothes or always wearing dresses and heels, on the contrary, wear whatever you want and can afford, just look stunning in it. I want to encourage a mindset of leaving out the house and "coming correct." I strongly believe in having a maintenance day at least once a week. Use that day to shave your legs, change polish or polish your nails and toes, touch up eyebrows, or even have a workout session. A little bit can go a long way. I'm not suggesting this to just attract or meet other people. Do it for yourself, BE the best woman you can, don't just become one when an event comes up. BE SEXY FOR YOU!

I highly recommend for every woman to have on her book shelf (and it is super sexy to read) "The One Hundred- A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own" by Nina Garcia & "That Extra Half an Inch" by Victoria Beckham.


These books will definitely give you tips on upgrading yourself. I absolutely love them!!!

Jimmy Choo "Grant" Satin Silk Peep Toe Shoe


I love black stilettos!!! Putting on a pair with a sexy pencil skirt makes me feel super sexy and ultra confident and not to toot my own horn but I have been told I have nice legs so I do like to show them off when I feel the urge! These shoes are used for more than wanting to just feel sexy. When I put them on I’m doing it because I’m bout to step out into a world that could tear me to shreds if I do not conform to a certain image or standards. However, I’m strong, confident, and woman enough to stand true to my own set of beliefs. Am I sometimes afraid when I step out? YES, but I still have to step out because I am more afraid of looking back at my life and seeing that I never did what I always wanted to do or worst, WHAT I WAS DESTINIED to do. I’m not afraid that I’ll fail at my endeavors , I’m afraid that I’ll actually succeed.

That may sound stupid but it is an honest emotion. Not a fear of failure but rather yet a fear of success. To further explain this weird yet very common trepidation…..it’s a fear of all your dreams becoming reality and you actually becoming completely happy. Who am I that I could be granted such an honor of complete and utter happiness? I truly believe that “God does not give us dreams to taunt us.” “If you believe it then you can achieve it.” What is the point to have ideas, aspirations, and desires about what you could achieve and never try to pursue them? People including myself will try to make all sorts of excuses about why they can not pursue what they have always wanted but blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, ya….there is no time like the present and life will be over sooner than you know it. For me the power of a stiletto is real, but it really isn’t that the shoe has some magical powers they just assist in shaping my attitude and outlook and I feel confident, and that is the most important thing. Confidence is the sexiest thing that a woman can wear. Confidence shines thru whether a woman is in a pair of Christian Louboutins or New Balances, the woman makes the shoes not vice versa.


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.” –Nelsen Mandela (Inaugural Speech 1994)


Don’t be afraid anymore, put on your best high heels or whatever it is that does it for you and walk out into this world and chase don’t follow your dreams. Happiness doesn’t always come to us we sometimes have to go out and get it ourselves. They say “good things come to those who wait” but I don’t think whoever “they” were, were referring to happiness!
