Happy Novem-BURR

Checking in! I know I've been a very bad blogger. I've recently changed jobs so I'm just getting in the swing of the work schedule. I'm so loving Bow Ties right now. I've been wearing them with EVERYTHING!

Also I've been trying to build my portfolio as a stylist. So I have been working on TFP shoots. I'm excited to see where it will take me. I always like challenging myself. Check out this Baby Stroller carved from a Watermelon I did for a friend's baby shower. Tell me what you think! - ♥Dee

The Essence Of Life

“Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become.”

Team Ombre

My favorite motto is "Why pay someone when you can do it yourself". I was inspired by Keke Palmer's hair at the 2011 BET Awards. Now I was not ready for the big price tag that came with professional coloring. So I did it myself. And who doesn't love a little DIY when it comes to beauty?

OOTW via Blackberry

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!!!
Still waiting on the battery parts for my Digital Camera. Sigh.

A Week of OTD via my Blackberry

My camera is out of service...Well not the camera but I need a new battery. Sucks! So my outfit posts are via my BlackBerry in the bathroom at work until the new one comes from Ebay. I am trying to get to a point where I can post more, but I am always so busy. I promise to keep up. So here I present Outfit of The Day Camera in the Mirror BBM Pose. LOL!

Life Advice

I saw this on someone's tumblr and I loved every point. Great Life Advice.

Health:
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
4. Live with the 3 E’s - Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy
5. Play more games.
6. Read more books than you did in 2009.
7. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
8. Sleep for 7 hours.
9. Take a 10-30 minutes walk daily. And while you walk, smile.

Personality:
10. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
11. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
12. Don’t over do. Keep your limits.
13. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
14. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
15. Dream more while you are awake.
16. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
17. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
18. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.
19. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
20. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:

32. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
33. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
34. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
35. The best is yet to come.
36. Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.

Blogs I'm Obssessed With

For the most part I don't blog as much because I'm so consumed in following so many other blogs. Here are my Top 3 Obsessions.

1. Mia from Diary of a Fatshionista
I ♥ Mia because she is so damn fancy. Her style is amazing, her ability to rock the shit out of a dress and her flawless skin and hair. She's my bff in my head. LOL


















2. Brittany from Pockets and Bows

I'm pretty new to following Brittany's blog. Besides falling in love with her style she has a crazy shoe collection. She's another BFF in my head who I go over her house and steal her shoes. LOL
BTW I'm coming for these.








2. Gabi from Young, Fat and Fabulous
































She needs no introduction. Ms. Gabi the inspiration to so many of us fatshionista's. I've been an admirer of hers for a long time and I am so happy for all her success. She truly deserves it. If you don't know who she is or what she is about look her up! One fly young lady! Check out her cover of Black Enterprise. #TeamGabi!!!

How Could You Not Love Her?

Let me count the ways...
1. I love how dewey her skin always is.
2. I love that she is always over or sometimes underdressed
3. She's not afraid to be the center of attention
4. You have to respect her hustle
5. When they are googling you more than your multi-millionaire famous boyfriend..."Ahhh Congrats You've Made It"

We all need a little bit of Amber Rose in us.
