I am in love with this song. I can relate to exactly how she's feeling. After seeing an interview with her about the concept of this video it is quite evident she's referring to Swizz Beats (at least that's what I think).

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends – they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything – they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And I hate to say it, but most of them – actually pretty much all of them - are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soul mate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.” — Marilyn Monroe

I saw this and got teary-eyed and felt really proud.

I am dieing for a pair of these tights.

“Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all is a form of planning. -Gloria Steinem

I've been at the lowest of lowest when I thought I wouldn't make it to see another day. I've been at a point where I never thought I'd smile or laugh again. I've been at a point where I honestly thought I'd be spending the rest of my life feeling hopeless, sad, and have this nagging pain in my heart that just hurt so bad all I could do was cry to try to release it. I've been at a point where all I could do was cry, for it seemed like the only thing I could do. I've been at a point where nothing mattered and all I could see were dark days ahead. I can't say it was an easy process getting over it, but even looking back now I want to cry because it was such a scary time and I never thought I'd make it through.

I've seen a lot of this lately and I'm dieing to try.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.

I had to post this simply because I ADORE Marilyn Monroe. I think she's one of the most beautiful women in history.

“Men hate to cry, they rarely ever do. But when a man cries over you, you know he loves you. Because men only cry when they lost something or are afraid of losing something that they love as much or more than themselves.”

--loveee this dress.

YSL loveeeee.

Rihanna - 20/20 Interview

I just finished watching the 20/20 Rihanna interview. I don't even know where to begin, seriously. I guess I should start by saying I do not believe that a woman ever deserves to be a hit, whether she hit the man first, whether she was rude or disrespectful, nothing. It is NEVER okay for a man to place his hands on a woman, especially the way Chris did Rihanna. I have to say I feel like I saw a different side of her.  We're used to seeing the sexy and strong Rihanna, but she really let another side of her show. She was vulnerable. I have to give her shouts for composing herself, I know I would not be able to hold back all those emotions she had to be feeling. I think it's wrong that so many people judge her for going back.  It is never easy to leave someone you love whether or not they've abused you or not. But I am proud of her for being strong and doing what she had to do, not only for herself but for all those millions of girls and women who go through the same situations and maybe didn't know what to do, and watching Rihanna speak out motivated them to take the steps they needed to leave their abusive signifanct other. My heart goes out to all the women who have been apart of domestic violence. I know it is an ugly thing and can leave not only physical scars but emotional and mental as well.

Hip Hop Weekly No. 5*

This week I wasn't really sure what video to pick considering there's always so many so, I finally decided on..
Freaks Come Out At Night - Whodini

Well my weekend I guess you could say was eventful. Thursday after work, me and my loves Shari and Dineen went out to eat.  Of course we had to go to Pollo Tropical, yummm. Then we chilled at the mall, none of us did any shopping and I was really disappointed I couldn't find anything in any of the stores. But then again it's Pembroke Lakes and it's not that great of a mall. Friday morning I woke up at the crack of dawn to drive to Ft. Lauderdale with Shari. She needed to pick up her badge for her education class. So after three hours of driving around being lost, and trying to find this place we finally got there, only to find out the badge had already been picked up. Wasn't that a waste of time and gas, smh. So then we ate, ran some errands then went back to Shari's house to chill before we had to go to work. Saturday (Halloween) was crazy. Me and Dineen couldn't find ANYTHING to do.We changed plans sooo many times. From Hookah bars to parties and finally to this fall festival. The festival was alright. We got to hang out with Shari and I saw Carolyn who I haven't seen in everrrr. So that was fun. Then I went back to Dineen's house and chilled for a few hours and went home. And today? I have no clue. I'll probably just go to Bloomies to get some makeup and chill for the rest of the day.
