Madly In Love Monday: Eco

Hi everyone, Happy Monday! This Monday I am soooooooo in love with Eco style gel. I saw that a lot of people were talking about this brand of styling gel all over You Tube and I just had to try it. Now Eco has a lot of different types of style gels. The one I'm using is Eco Styler Olive Oil Hair Gel at level 10, which is the maximum hold. Let me tell you, I love this gel because it lays down my edges instantly; I have been at work all day and home now, its been about 7 hours and my edges are still layed :). Usually I would use gel and then have to tie a scarf around my head for my edges to lay down and even then with in a hour or less my edges would be puffy. The same thing happens when I tried using the edge control pomades. What I also like about this product is it doesn't flake, it is clear, it moisturizes my hair/scalp, alcohol free, its UV protection, Its inexpensive ($2.99 Kmart)  and its Anti Itch, which is amazing to me (my hair itches all the time). I highly recommend this product if you aren't using yet!!!!

 

 

Truth Tuesday: My Opinion On Relationships

So its Tuesday and a lot is on my mind. I am a single women. I'm not looking because for one I'm still holding on to my past and honestly I have been scared because dating for me hasn't been the best experience. Literally I have started to talk to someone and the second day something sexual comes up or they were way to aggressive (a personal turn off). Now we're all adults (hopefully) and know that sex is one important part of a relationship so eventually there is lots of loving to be made but when you are meeting someone for the first time, in my opinion, if your really interested in them and want to eventually be in a relationship you want to get to know a little bit of who they are first. I'm using "people" because this applies to men & women. A lot of people don't want to take this step because their not interested in a relationship but shouldn't they be up front about that in the beginning. Some don't say anything because they selfishly want to have sex with that person and are afraid the truth will turn them away. Some are very honest but the other person foolishly thinks they can change their minds about relationships (once in a blue moon this actually happens but you should never think you can change a persons way of thinking.) It's  selfish to not be up front because some, including myself, sex is emotional and we can become very attached and hurt if it doesn't go in the relationship direction. That's why I personal try to avoid these type of situations. It seems that a lot of people have stop believing in things like love, relationships, dating and marriage. I think this comes from either a personal issue with the whole idea, feeling a since of being "trapped", or have seen really bad examples of relationships and marriage and have opted out. Strangely enough most of the same people are wanting/willing to make a baby with the same person they don't want to commit to...can somebody ANYBODY explain that one to me. This is sooooo disappointing to people like me who are still hopeless romantics. I have seen terrible examples of relationships/marriages and personally haven't been in the best relationships in the world but I still believe in happily ever after. I love when I see a couple that are not only lovers but best friends, that can argue but make up and say I love you after, couples that wouldn't dare cheat because they know there is no one else they rather be with. I know relationships aren't perfect but they can be perfect to you in your partner. I know it involves a lot of comprise,trust and commutation (just to name a few) and I think when you both agree to that your off to a great start and have an amazing future ahead of you. I would love to grow old and cranky with someone. Maybe one day,when I let go of my own past, a man will come my way (not too aggressively lol) that still believes in the things I do....I hope this wasn't too long lol. Thank you for taking the time to read this and tell me your thoughts on relationships in the comments below!!!

Madly In Love Monday: 2NE1!!!

Hi everyone, happy Monday!!! Its been so long I miss you guys I took a break from blogging because of a work and blah blah blah but I'm back!!........So this Monday, well actually for a while now I have been obsessed with K Pop girl group 2NE1! I'll admit I didn't really pay attention until I heard their song "I Am The Best" on a commercial one day, I just couldn't get the song out of my head. But since then I have been a faithful Blackjack (the name of their fans.) My phone is filled with their music such as Falling In Love, Fire, Clap Your Hands, I love You just to name a few. The girls are from Korea, they started in 2009 and are signed to YG Entertainment. They sing pop/hip hop music, have amazing style and from watching 2NE1 TV on YouTube they have the coolest personalities. Their names are (in order with pics) Dara, Minzy, CL and my favorite Bom. As of today CL (leader/rapper) is working on her solo album, check out her song Baddest Female (its amazing), Dara(the face of the group, so pretty) is doing a bit of acting, Minzy( youngest, amazing dancer) and Bom (the vocalist, so funny) are taking a break but THEY WILL BE BACK and will be working on new music for their fans all over the world including U.S.A :) Hopefully if you haven't heard about them I have peaked your interest, go, be open and check them out! It is amazing how music is so universal. Even though we might not understand the language you can still be a fan and be moved by the music :)

 

Truth Tuesday: Life is too short.

Sorry this is late, it's just been one of those days. Being a women sucks sometimes. Every month we get a visit from the devil and along with it comes cramps, acne, cravings, unnecessary emotions and fatigue. If only men could experience this; oh what a world it would be.....anyway I heard some sad news about my grandma. I won't go that deep into it but my grandma has Alzheimer's disease;and doesn't have long too live. When you are going to loose or have lost somebody regardless of your relationship it still holds a great sadness. It also reminds you that life is too short to let it just past bye. Sometimes I have stayed away from things and people because of fear. Its not a easy thing to do for a introvert like me but I will try my best to break out of this. Life is short and filled with ups,downs, good and bad experiences. It makes us who we are. Everything we go through in life makes us stronger people. Live life is the moral to this entry, try to make the best of each day.
