To be or Not to be...that is the question...


You ever wonder what your purpose in life is and what you are suppose to be? Doesn't it seem like it was easy for those with great careers to figure out their calling? It's 2:02 a.m. and I am asking myself WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO BE? I have no idea!! I have so many things that I want to achieve in life that I don't even know where to start! Lately I have really been thinking about changing my major to Marketing and Fashion. Why? Because I love shoes! I would love to be a designer but I can't draw or design so I'm playing on my strengths! I want to be a buyer for a company! I want to be a buyer for a company that sells shoes! A good example would be a company like ALDO! I love learning about the new styles, examining what type of shoes other women like, and I want to have an in depth understanding about what's in style and what is not. My other option is to basically open my own store because I don't want to work for anybody forever...that's just me though. I am kind of scared right now because I don't know where my life will take me in the next year or two! It's scary and exciting at the same time lol My first dilemma is where do I get an internship next summer? Do I stay in FL or do I move to another state? What if I don't get a job? Where would I get a job? I need money! Do I take a break after my B.A.S or do I go straight for my Masters? AHHHHH!!! Decisions...Decisions...I think it's bedtime...

Heelz of the week...



I finally decided to do another Heel of the week! I've noticed in my past posts that I've posted REALLY expensive shoes SO I was like why not post shoes that I myself can actually afford lol. The shoe of the week that I am proud to post are the Mickolick's! These shoes come in 4 different shades, this medium blue, fuchsia, black suede, and black. This medium blue is SO vibrant and sexy and I wish they were on my feet at this very moment!! lol Price on the Mickolick's? $90.00 and WHAT? @ ALDO!! lol http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/women/pumps/platform/75667600-mickolick/6?cm_re=Sep0409-WLP-US-A-_-Main-_-MICKOLICK-6 I really need to get these and put them in my closet right about now! UPDATE: I actually went to ALDO to buy this shoe and guess what? THEY WERE SOLD OUT!! They had the other colors but I wanted the blue!! The chick was like well we can order it! blank stare* I want it NOW!! lol Then I picked 3 other shoes that I liked from the website and they didn't have my size for those either! So I was pissed off to the point where I don't even want to order the shoes off the website for myself lol....

My twist then and now...



I like to take pictures to show my hair growth and see how much it has grown since my BC back in May! The very first picture is of some twist that I did June 15, 2009 and the second was taken September 10, 2009 SO my hair is growing at a nice little pace! I am excited about it and having fun trying out new styles and what not lol The last picture is what I took this morning after I took the twist out. I like the twist out because I don't have shrinkage like I do when I just pull it back with a headband. It will be 4 months since my BC on the 26th of this month!! (click the pictures to get a closer view) P.S. I know I need a edge in the back BAD lol I'll have my Aunt do it this weekend lol YIKES!

Butters-n-Bars

My order from Butters-n-Bars FINALLY came in! I placed the order on the 6th and got it today the 11th! I got the shea butter sampler pack which came with 3 scents, I picked the Mango scents which are Mango Peach, Mango Mango, and Mango Coconut all for $10.99 and the Herbal Shampoo was $9.99. I haven't had the chance to use anything yet but I'm excited! I finally got a good shampoo! YES lol!! I love how the shea butter's smell and how it feels! so soft and smooth!! So if you guys are thinking about ordering anything like these products above the website is http://butters-n-bars.com/ . They have sooo many different shea butter scents to choose from!! Then there was a New Naturals sampler kit that came with 4 products but I choose this instead! Once I use the products I will definitely let you all know how it went :) (click on the pic to get a better view)

The 50 Best Dunks of All time...RIGHT


Okay so on Complex.com they have the 50 best dunks of all time and ummmm...the list is not as good as I thought it would be...No SB's for one and for two I'd only wear like 10 of the shoes on the list. My favorites were The Smurf's which came in at # 2, Original 7 school colorways which were #4, I actually liked the Patent Charity Dunk Pack at #10, Kicks Hawaii at #12 (i like those colors), Alphanumeric #15, Clerks Pack at #25, Daktari at #28, Denims at #34 (one of my shoe of the week picks...look at where it is on the list!! lol), and my last favorite on the list were the Back to Schools at #44! To get the complete list here is the link: http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/09/02/the-50-best-nike-dunks-of-all-time/ I think it would be a good idea to have a list catered to the ladies because those were shoes that most guys would wear!!

A few of my favorite things...



Hey all! I just thought I would share with you all a few of my favorite products! I have a lot more than the 3 above, I just choose to share these 3! The first product shown in the picture above is Giovanni's Smooth as Silk Deep Moisturizing Conditioner, second is Herbal Essences Tousle me Softly Mousse, and lastly is Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Leave in Conditioner (you can click the pictures to have a closer view) ! Okay I just bought the Giovanni conditioner from Wal-Mart...it was like $7.95 (that's the most I ever spent on conditioner lol) BUT it's worth it! When I did my weekly deep conditioning I used this and it did leave my hair feeling silky and smooth! Then you have the Garnier Fructis leave in that I use after I wash my hair and it smells very pleasant and leaves my hair soft and moisturized. I bought that from Wal-Mart as well for about $4-5.00 and some change! Lastly is the Herbal Essences Mousse! Ahhhh :) I am IN LOVE with the smell! My goodness! lol it makes me want to smell my hair ALL DAY LONG! I don't use it that much because mousse makes my hair a little crunchy and my curls have MAJOR shrinkage! but it's a good product for TWA's, idk about longer hair...I'd say it was like $3.00 and some change as well. In the second picture that's what my hair looked like after I used the Giovanni and Garnier leave in. The night before that I did twist and took them out the next day and all I did was spray my oil spritzer (which consist of water, jojoba oil, extra virgin olive oil, shea butter oil, and a bunch of other oils) to wake the twist out up and of course Eco Styler Gel for my edges. I recommend these products to anybody whether your hair is natural or relaxed. What made me try these products out? Well there is a blog that I go to: http://curlgirljourney.blogspot.com that has ALL the Curly Girl Method approved products so I just picked things off the list that I didn't feel like ordering online and decided to try them out! It's all about trail and error with so many products we can choose from! So check out that blog out to get tons of ideas!

Sneaker of the Week...



I haven't done a Sneaker of the week in a while so I decided that tonight would be a good night to post one! These are the Nike Dunk High Denims in black/white. As I stated before I'm a huge fan of dunks, those are my favorite sneakers so a majority of the sneakers I will post will be Dunks, unless I see some other dope sneakers online :) You can do a google search for these or check out this website were I found them at. On this site they price them at $149.99 which is CRAZY because I know you can find these for a way more reasonable price! http://www.4kickz.com/product_info.php?info=p44_Nike-Dunk-hi-Denim-Black-White.html
