Weekly Horoscope 6/1-6/7


 Here's all the horoscopes for the week of June 1st- June 7th, which would be starting tomorrow. I made a mistake last week, thinking the horoscopes would start over each Monday but it is Wednesday instead. Therefore, I'll have the horoscopes posted each Wednesday or either the Tuesday before.

Playing Your Position VS. Playing Dumb


Oprah & Stedman have never been married and are still
going strong... #playingtheirposition

I don't know if it's just me or does it seem like relationships barely exist nowadays?? I won't go into the whole title thing because that brings up a whole other discussion, but hear me out on this. I only know a handful of people who are actually in a committed relationship with someone and their relationship is public. Everyone else falls into a category that I like to call "arrangements". I consider "arrangements" to be those people who keep their relationship on the low, whether it may be to keep everyone out of their business or because they're doing all they can lol. This leads me to ask, when it comes to "playing your position" do you play it well or do you just play dumb?

Item Of The Day

Jessica Simpson Vadio Open Toe Pumps
$98.00


Since this week's fashion post was centered around color blocking for the summer, I decided to do an item of the day post working with some type of color blocking scheme. These Jessica Simpson Vadio pumps have been etched in my brain since I first saw them! There was also another pump in this collection that was made slightly different, but that one has been sold out all over. I love the colors in this shoe! I chose to match those up with a dress that was the same fuschia as in the shoe. I tried finding a cute blue dress to add more color to the whole outfit, but I couldn't find one online that I liked. In case that I had, I would've paired that with a clutch that is one of the colors in the shoe. That way everything balances out and you're not looking like you just threw something together.

Since I paired this with a dress color that is already in the shoe, I decided to go with a blue clutch to add a different color other than what is already present. The blue pairs well with the other three colors in the shoe and with the dress when you're color blocking. Since the dress is the same color as part of the shoe, it gives you room to experiment more with colors without looking all over the place. I also wanted the jewelry accessories to be simple so they don't take the focus off the shoe. Check out the pieces that I put together for my outfit below, and let me know what you think!

Beyonce's New Single "1+1" Plus #ThrowbackThursday





As I was getting ready for work this morning, I checked the blogs to get my daily dose of celebrity gossip (sad I know lol)... It just so happens that Beyonce' has a new single that's supposed to be on her fourth album. The single is called "1+1" and it's a soultry, passionate ballad of course about her love for Mr. Carter. I personally love this song! You can tell she really put her heart into this one. I heard it was written by The Dream... which I always love his songs anyway. Her fourth album titled 4 will be dropping on June 28th. Will you be buying? You already know I will! lol... Check out her new single above, and check below for the #ThrowbackThursday video of the day... It's some old school Destiny's Child :)

No Expectations = No Disappointments


I was sitting in my car this morning listening to my local radio station (doing all I can not to walk in to my job LOL) when I heard an interview that was done a few days ago. I'm not sure if the guy they were talking to was a relationship expert or anything, but he said something that really stood out to me. He said that relationships between men and women struggle so much because we put too much expectations on each other. He then went on to say if women want someone who will be as emotional, caring, and gentle as themselves then they might as well get a woman. And if a man wants someone who will be laid back and nonchalant with little to no drama like themselves then they may as well be with a man. Why? Because women and men are nothing alike.

Now that may sound crazy, but I think he is 100% correct. Before ya'll get yours panties in a bunch lol, let me make clear in no way am I say we all should just jump up and convert our sexuality to same sex.  Not gonna happen over here. What I'm saying is, maybe we ARE expecting too much from our partners. Of course everyone wants their significant other (bf/gf, husband/wife, play thing of the week, etc) to be PERFECT. You can deny this all you want, but it's true. We want our partner to do absolutely everything we ask, exactly how we want it, and right then and there. We want them to jump the moon and come back down for us in 10 minutes. This is fine and dandy until they start expecting the same thing back, and what happens when you can't deliver as expected?

Weekly Horoscope 5/24-5/31



I'm the type of person who is big on the zodiacs and who reads their horoscope on a daily basis. It's such a big deal to me that I even have my friends checking their horoscopes daily as well lol. A lot of times (more often than not) my horoscope is on point. It blows my mind how it's usually always pertaining to something I'm dealing with. I know many people don't believe in the signs of the stars, but nonetheless it's still kinda fun to see what they say. On that note, I've decided to try something new by posting weekly horoscopes for each zodiac sign. I'll try to do it every Monday to start off each week, but if not they will be up some time before that week is out. You can get your horoscope for this week below after the break.

How Many Of Us Have Them?


The girls and I minus one (left-right: myself, Portia, Ashley, Tia)

A few weeks have passed since I last posted for #PositiveMondays, but that is truly my most busy and longest day at work so I don't get to blog too much. Don't hold it against me! :) Since today is Monday, it's only right for me to give my little dose of positive energy to start my readers off right. Well I have every reason to think positively today and here's why. I can count my best friends on one hand, I have four of them. This past weekend me and one of my best friends (who already graduated college) traveled to Richmond, VA for two of my other best friends' college graduations. That only leaves myself and another one of my best friends without degrees thus far, but trust and believe we'll get there.

To know everything these ladies went through to get where they are makes me SO PROUD to call them my friends. I'm the youngest of us all, so it's good having real friends to be honest with you and motivate you like mine do. We all have been friends since elementary school, so you can't even imagine everything we've been through together. For us to be able to say that we're still hanging in there, and we're on a path to greatness is EPIC to me. Mind you, we are all young BLACK females which speaks volumes in itself! We each have a "story" that leads us up to where we are. And none of our journeys have been easy. Definitely not the most difficult in the world, but not easy in the slightest. That goes to show that with hard work, determination, and the right mind state you can do and be whatever you want!

And if that isn't enough to make you feel positive, I've got one for you... Despite the "Doom's Day" predictions that were flying around the world, you're still here! The world didn't end Saturday at 6 pm to everyone's surprise *sarcastic face* so stop complaining about everything and CREATE A GOOD DAY!!
