~ Just Let Your Soul Glo ~

 If you are confused by the title that can only mean one thing - you have never seen Coming to America. Shame. On. You.
It's  a classic Movie! Eddie murphy at his finest. I definitely recommend that you pop by to your local Blockbuster (not sure if people  still do that) or just click the movie title above- sit back and enjoy.

Moving swiftly on, despite what the title may suggest, I am not by any means trying to bring back the Jheri curl. It just hints at my desire to acheieve an afro. Yep I said it an AFRO. I am going natural - meaning that I am weaning myself off the creamy crack (relaxer*) and going back to my natural roots. My kinky, coily, curly texture.

Well at the moment I am tranisitoning - growing out my relaxer. The picture below show my re-growth coming through and my relaxed tresses are just hanging in there lifelessly untill am ready to chop them off.

When I finally decide that I am ready to 'BIG CHOP' (natural hair speak, seriously it has its own language), then my hair shall be transformed into this.......(after a while of course)   CANNOT WAIT!!!

 

PS Here's a nice little starter pack from Natural Hair Community to get you started : . http://www.naturalhaircommunity.com/newsletter

Lyrical Nonsense (Part 2)

"Yellow diamonds in the light" - We Found Love by Rihanna
Say what?????? What does that actually mean?


"She makes me wanna Oh oh oh oh oh oh" - She Makes Me Wanna by JLS
I guess the songwriter(s) could not be bothered when it came to writimg proper lyrics so the "oh oh oh" is just there to distract us from what is a sub-par pop tune.

"Me not working hard? Yeah, right, picture that with a Kodak Or better yet, go to Times Square Take a picture of me with a Kodak" - Give me Everything by Pitbull
*Blink Blink*  Blantant product placement and it's not very clever either :(

"Baby you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed" - What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction
Who wrote these lyrics 5 year olds? Yes, I know they appeal to the teen market but come on "the way you flip your hair gets me overhelmed" REALLY.

The Stuff People Say

I have recently come across these videos by way of Twitter (thanks Twit Fam) and thought I should share my favourites ones.

The Wait Is Over... The Watch the Throne Heir Has Finally Arrived!

I present to you:

*BLUE IVY CARTER*

(IV roman numeral for 4 = IVY)

(BLUEprint)

Jigga Man and King Bey have finally welcomed a new arrival - the birth of their first child the   uniquely named Blue Ivy Carter. The name may sound like an air freshner or a cool cocktail from that swanky bar you like to visit on Friday night, but there is no denying that the birth of this child is EPIC!!!

We are all looking forward to that first baby pic hoping that Baby Blue looks more like mama than papa. Fingers crossed and toes aswell, just in case :-o

Being the child of the King of Hip Hop and the Queen of RnB is not going to be easy but am show lil Bluey will cope (see I have already given her a cute nickname). If anything, she could always ask uncle Kanye how to deal with the fame, he handles it oh so well.

>Bartender I will take a Smirnoff Ice and Two Blue Ivys to go

So here's to you Blue Ivy Carter. Bottoms up!

New Year Resolutions

Yes Yes I know everybody always outlining their New Year Resolutions and they never stick to them, well I am going to do my best to stand by mines. So without further ado here they go:

1)Write more frequently
2)Update my Blog more often
3)Stop being so afraid and doubting myself all the time
4)Confidence, Confidence, Confidence
5)Be more proactive (take that as you wish)
6)Explore the world - took a trip to Japan in 2011 which was just the most amazing trip ever, hence why I need to explore this earth of ours just a lil bit more.
7)Stop procastinating - do what i need to do today and not put it off for tomorrow (cos you know that means I will never do it)
8)Grab life with both hands - Life is indeed too short
9)Be more creative
10)Laugh more

What are some of your New Year Resolutions?

Don't Cry For Me Dear Readers. The Truth Is I Never Left You!

Forgive me World for I have sinned.

It has been about 5 months now since I last updated this blog.

I Apologies. I am a terrible person.

I have been overworked,exhausted, tired, close to the point of collapse; all thanks to my job at a private college.

I promise to be good in future. Please don't abandon me dear readers, stick with me I will come good again.

Thank you for listening.

Now I must go and sleep.

It's Good Friday Tomorrow.

:)

Grenade

This is one of my favourite songs at the moment. Bruno Mars album Doo-Wop & Hooligans is amazing. Its an easy going - feel good album with poignant songs, sung effortlessly by Mars and showcases his songwriting ability.
Its an album mostly for the ladies but hey I aint complaining, am one of them after all.

Check out: Grenade

I Got a J.O.B

Looks like someone obviously read my dear J.O.B letter and decided to give me a job.  Thank you God. Yeahhhhhhhhhhh finally am a working lady (not that kind lol).

I had my first day today  it was fine albeit a bit slow to begin with but then again it was my first day, so was to be expected. One thing, that is really irking me is the fact that I finish super late. I got the shock of my life when I found out I finish at 6pm (I start at 9am in case your wondering) ...   the job is quite far from my house so now you can begin to understand my conundrum. Wow I have never worked this late before. First time for everything I suppose. Further to that am the only girl in my office so am surrounded by testosterone which is not too bad, although it would be nice to have some more oestrogen in the office in case I need to talk girl stuff. But what the hell; guess am just going to have to live with it.

Now that I have a job , I probably will be writing less frequently so please bear with me am doing my best.

I am overly tired though so forgive me if I can't write properly.

I haev to strat slepeping ealry form now on cos i hvae to be up rellay earlry in oredr....................................

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

WTF Moment Of The Week.

50 Cent is supposedly DATING. Yes I said DATING CHELSEA HANDLER. 

Can we all say WTF, GTFOH,ROTFL, LMAO.

Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever happened to Ci-Error.

This must be a joke. Ahh you got me, I'm being Punk'd.

X Factor - Ramblings

- WHAT Cheryl you choose the Madonna wannabe over Gamu. she didn't even finish her song WTF 

- DANNII how could you not put Paige through. The only good person you have is the Italian Diva. You shall not win :( 

- I think Cheryl will win again cos she got Cher and everyone thinks she's different cos she into the lyrical genius himself Soulja boy and everyone like oooooooh she is sooo amazing

- .Ha ha Simon you put two of your creation through to the group stages. Don't actually know why the other people bothered to audition to be fair

- The judges clearly are judging on looks more so than performance.

- Cher please re-draw your eyebrows. The one that you have currently doodled on your face is begging for MERCY

- Madonna Wannabe - Your style is not authentic , give it up already your trying too hard. That umbrella just annoyed the heck out of me. Go sit down somewhere.

- Cheryl those boots you had on your feet were simply disgusting. You should know better.

- X factor has really annoyed me with some of the choices.

- Simon Cowell is a genius , Saturday's X Factor is going to be the highest rated show ever mark my words. Its probably all staged 

- Twist - We all know what that means...... Gamu or Treyc will be back

- Mr Cowell will be rolling in dough come Saturday. Everybody will be watching the X factor. This show is so staged, the producers are amazing!!
