Necessity
COMPLETELY RANDOM, yet again
I need these in my life. Over the knee AND leather. YES, I'm an UGG girl! But $350?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? They come in Chestnut, Lotus Brown, Black, and Black Sparkles. Since I already have Black Snake Uggs, I'm gonna go with the "Lotus Brown"...it basically looks black, but with cool cream contrast. These will basically pay for themselves by how many time I will wear these, but still, $350!! I'll wait until BLACK FRIDAY to see if I can at least save twenty dollars............if any of you know any coupon codes with free shipping, hook me up!

MAC BOOK woes.....
JUST ME VENTING
I must either be RETARDED or extremely LAZY, because I just cant seem to GRASP my new MACBOOK. PS- Did I mention already on this blog??? PROB NOT
OK, so early Sept 2011 (yes, as in 2 months ago) I purchased a new MACBOOK PRO :)
I must either be RETARDED or extremely LAZY, because I just cant seem to GRASP my new MACBOOK. PS- Did I mention already on this blog??? PROB NOT
OK, so early Sept 2011 (yes, as in 2 months ago) I purchased a new MACBOOK PRO :)
But every time I go to, say....edit a YT video or edit some pictures, I find myself running to my good ol' VAIO, because this MACBOOK is just taking too long and I don't have the patience to learn. It seems like the WHOLE WORLD is in love with APPLE in general, but I just don't get it. My very first laptop was the UBER TRENDY Orange IBOOK, so my new MAC isn't completely foreign, but as far as editing "stuff", it just isn't the same. IS there some kind of MACBOOK FOR DUMMIES online site where I can just skim over the basics, sorta like "Cliffnotes-for-the-LAZY"?? Now that the excitement has wore off, I keep think to myself "I could have gotten 2 pairs of Christian Louboutin heels, or least one FAB pair instead......"
POINTLESS BABBLING.
Thanks for reading

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
I know, I know.....I've been MIA on the "BLOG" home front :)
Anyone doing anything fun this Halloween?? Well, not me; (it's going to be) a super busy day tomorrow (well TODAY), so I will be POOPED for Halloween this year. I wanted to be STORM from XMEN, but all of the Halloween plans went down the toilet, so I figure I'll be productive and, what else.....stock up on earrings :)
OFF TOPIC, earlier this month I went to the Tim Burton exhibit at LACMA, and now it seems as if I am obsessed ALL OVER AGAIN with the Nightmare Before Christmas. SO, watching that be the highlight of my night. If anyone CARES :(
SAD, I know, but NOT NEXT YEAR!!!!Hopefully I'll be in NYC doing something FAB!
PS- Any LA-ers looking for last minute Halloween plans, check it out:)

The Cab Ride
I got this in my personal inbox a few days ago and ALMOST deleted it. After I read it, I sat for about 20 minutes.....just me alone with my thoughts. I thought I'd share:
The Cab Ride
I arrived at the address and honked the horn.
after waiting a few minutes
I walked to the
door and knocked.. 'Just a minute', answered a
frail, elderly voice. I could hear something
being dragged across the floor.
After
a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in
her 90's stood before me. She was wearing a
print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned
on it, like somebody out of a 1940's
movie.
By her side was a small nylon
suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had
lived in it for years. All the furniture was
covered with sheets.
There were no
clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils
on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard
box filled with photos and
glassware.
'Would you carry my bag
out to the car?' she said. I took the suitcase
to the cab, then returned to assist the
woman.
She took my arm and we walked
slowly toward the curb.
She kept
thanking me for my kindness. 'It's nothing', I
told her.. 'I just try to treat my passengers
the way I would want my mother to be
treated..'
'Oh, you're such a good
boy, she said. When we got in the cab, she gave
me an address and then asked, 'Could you drive
through downtown?'
'It's not the
shortest way,' I answered
quickly..
'Oh, I don't mind,' she
said. 'I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a
hospice.
I looked in the rear-view
mirror. Her eyes were glistening. 'I don't have
any family left,' she continued in a soft
voice.. 'The doctor says I don't have very
long.' I quietly reached over and shut off the
meter.
'What route would you like me
to take?' I asked.
For the next two
hours, we drove through the city. She showed me
the building where she had once worked as an
elevator operator.
We drove through the
neighborhood where she and her husband had lived
when they were newlyweds She had me pull up in
front of a furniture warehouse that had once
been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a
girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow
in front of a particular building or corner and
would sit staring into the darkness, saying
nothing.
As the first hint of sun was
creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, 'I'm
tired. Let's go now'.
We drove in
silence to the address she had given me. It was
a low building, like a small convalescent home,
with a driveway that passed under a
portico.
Two orderlies came out to
the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were
Solicitous and intent, watching her every move.
They must have been expecting her.
I
opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to
the door. The woman was already seated in a
wheelchair.
'How much do I owe you?'
She asked, reaching into her
purse.
'Nothing,' I
said
'You have to make a living,' she
answered.
'There are other
passengers,' I responded.
Almost
without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She
held onto me tightly.
'You gave an
old woman a little moment of joy,' she
said.
'Thank you..'
I squeezed her
hand, and then walked into the dim morning
light.. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound
of the closing of a life..
I didn't
pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove
aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that
day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had
gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient
to end his shift?
What
if I had refused to take the run, or had honked
once, then driven away?
On a quick
review, I don't think that I have done anything
more important in my life.
We're
conditioned to think that our lives revolve
around great moments.
But great
moments often catch us unaware-beautifully
wrapped in what others may consider a small
one.
PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY
WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID ~BUT~THEY WILL
ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM
FEEL.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we
are here we might as well dance.

How did u transition to natural hair
I basically stopped relaxing my hair. I never cut it: it just broke off. Even though I was "natural", I flat ironed my hair everyday (with pink lotion...YUCK!) to the point of severe heat damage. My first "sorta" BC was back in June 07 to a "rihanna" bob, then my final cut (ALL the straight ends) December 07. The first time I wore my hair COMPLETLY natural was summer of 2008.
Hi there luv your website and blog plus videos.. great help... which protein Is better for natural curly3c hair.. vegetable or wheat or oat. Animal protein In products are really strong and too much causes breakage
OOOH, LAWD, I have no idea! I found this thread....hope it helps!
