Girl Run that Show

Good Late Night-Friday, almost Saturday Morning! 


Boy was I glad for today to be Friday, you have no idea! This week was semi-better than last week but still stressful. However out of all the stressful, less than normal self I happened to come across some grateful moments that made me smile just for a few minutes within this week. 


I know I have not been up to par with my posts this week or last and for that I am sorry; I've just been sick, stressed out and things of that nature. So if you've been baring with me thanks, along with sorry for no  posts lately. booo me! I am just going to get started on this post before it turns midnight. :p


1. My favorite by far moment from this week was meeting up for coffee with a really good friend! Yep, it definitely had some laughter moments which I swear was the only time I had laugh for almost some days now. All I know is I really needed that and I am glad I went to meet up because I felt calmer after.


2. Starbucks, Starbucks, Starbucks, Second Cup and McDonalds this week for hot chocolate or frappuccinos, plus food.. what a week! I never make a habit of getting these things that often but I guess this week it was an exception because I needed it! 


3. Losing my mind this past week has been me, getting ahead of myself and already thinking it's Easter weekend which would mean it's my birthday and it's not even here yet. You know you're too stressed out when! 


4. Do some research tonight on nails because we have been having an interesting topic about mirror nails at work today. So that was part of my Friday night spent, okay maybe an hour of my night researching about it. Very interesting!


5. Pinterest, always sucks me back in whenever I am about to leave then I find more cool stuff! Geeehz, Stop making me find cool, interesting things already!!! I love pinterest and if you don't have it you should get it! 


6. Yaaay, tomorrow is my day off which I felt like I haven't had one of those in ages, but actually I did Thursday. 


7. Thursday was an OhEmGee day for finally being lazy at home.all.day. doing nothing other than sleep, music, reading and sleep pretty much took up my whole day! It still wasn't enough or maybe I felt it wasn't enough because I didn't bother to get out and do anything. Sometimes, you really need those do nothing days.


8. I am excited for this week, I am hoping it will go smoothly and oh yes my lovely birthday is the Saturday of Easter weekend. Yaaay for me and being older?! 


9. I definitely stayed up late Wednesday night writing down 'My Dreams' which I have mentioned in a  previous post and my last Friday post. It's amazing all the things that come about or how I think no I don't have anything I want to improve for this until you really sit down and figure it all out. Am I done writing it out no, but very close enough that I will be done tomorrow what makes NOW as for my dreams. However I am sure additional things will be added onto the list down the road. The lovely challenges start Sunday like I said before and I cannot wait to take on these tasks. 


10. I am really enjoying the spring weather! I am just loving it way too much, so much I had to put on my coral pants I mentioned before in a previous post, today. It was just that kind of a mood of a day I was feeling. You know the feeling of ALIVE like the wake of spring? Yep, today was my summery spring day of color.


11. As for my final thoughts which is of EXCITEMENT for the following: Easter card shopping tomorrow for my family! Yep I love sending them cards; I love it because it's not expected and I love the idea of receiving something unexpectedly. Another thing is: I am excited to have time to actually read tomorrow. My very last excitement is talking to my lovely amazing cousin this weekend about my not.so.perfect week which is always bound with cool conversation. Oh yeah and finally getting to hangout with one of my good friends which we haven't in foreeever, so that I am glad for on Monday.. WOOT WOOT!! =)


12. My last final final thought for this weeks post is the fact of really those 'be careful what you wish for moments' which I know we all ask for things and then when it comes about it's just holy popeye the sailor man, run the other direction, I am dying here, HELP! lol. (Just writing that thought out makes.me.laugh.out.loud!) Obviously that is for a lovely future potential blog post if it does ever happen. Until than or hopeful doesn't happen, not to sure at the moment.. this is my week summed up.


Good Night. =)

Good Semi-Late Evening! =)


It's another Friday with another post on my week! It's been kind of a hectic-ed, frustrated-tear cry, tired, annoyed week. I know just reading that doesn't sound like a so good week or post coming about but that is just my feelings at the moment of the week summed up.


1. My Sunday night was spent as a girls night out to see 21 Jump Street! Woot, I didn't have to wait until Tuesday! It was a hilarious movie, funny all the way through!


2. My weekend of reading last weekend, ended up being a weekend of movies instead. How does that  happen when I wanted to read so badly!? I still wanted to read this whole week but I was waiting on borrowing a book that I just ended up buying the book for myself. The book of choice "The Hunger Games"


3. The Hunger Games tonight with my friend, her boyfriend and some of her other friends! I was excited to see it and even more excited to see my friend again!! I think going to see a movie was a great thing to do after work, especially after a stressful week. I was even more grateful in the fact they were able to drive me home, so even a little more time to chat before going our separate ways. All I have to say about getting the ride home is that 'God really works in amazing ways' that is all I have to say on that note and for that generous offer of a ride home I am graciously thankful. 


4. Going out this month has been glorious and very gracious of an opportunity for me! I say this because going out this much in a month never happens, so I am oh so thankful and happy. Happy at the fact of getting to spend time with the people I truly care about.


5. The conversations I've had this week with the three amazing people in my life, just great! I love how there is so much to talk about and just anything is put on the table to discuss. I especially love conversations where anything comes about because I love listening but also love giving my perspective on things as well. 


6. I am so beyond grateful for the help that I have received at work Wednesday. I honestly don't know how much more annoyed or frustrated I would have gotten without the lovely help. I was glad to have gotten things done and being able to help get everything cleared before I left, so they could get a fresh start to continue what they needed to after I left. 


7. I can't wait to hangout with my lovely friend soon again and go eat or do something else. I always have a good time when we hangout, however the last time seemed pretty quick, pretty short and just not long enough in a way. I was definitely grateful to see her beautiful face though! 


8. These two posts made my week (Oh My My My | Part 2) and (Oh My My My | Part 3), so much I was excited when I seen them! I am just amazed with these chronological posts. It makes me all excited, happy and a little bit of laughter all wrapped up into one. The two that gave me the little bit of laughter was these two posts that was linked into the part 2 post I was excited to read, so here are the  two linked in posts. -> First Date Disaster Part 1 : Kristen and First Date Disaster Part 2 : Kristen. I had mentioned the first part in one of my other Friday's post, so if you didn't get to read the first part here it is -> Oh My My My | Part 1. I am also going to link another two of her posts that I enjoyed from her Project | Engaged and  Project | How Us People Got Engaged. So I found another post by her which I have not read yet, am going to right now after I post this and thought I should include it as well. (Engagement RIngs) p.s. - Gorgeous ring or what!! Now that's a beauty of a ring! ;) 


9. Snow, why did you have to come back? Can you mother nature, pretty promise you will let winter finally be gone before my birthday gets here in less than 13 days?! Thanks, I would really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. p.s. - please also with a cherry on top give me a lovely birthday + make my one wish come true! Is that too much to ask from the universe this year? Okay, maybe a little but if I must choose, I choose that my wish comes true over the weather!


10. I already cannot wait for next weekend! How sad, it's already the weekend and I want it to be next weekend already. 


11. The rest of my Friday night will be filled with music and writing down 'My Dreams' from my post yesterday. Perhaps later tonight watch Pride & Prejudice or tomorrow morning/early afternoon before I have to leave out of town. I actually love that movie, it's such a beautiful classic. Actually, maybe that will go the other way around! :p


I think this is it for this week really, I know it's shorter than most posts on Friday but some times the shorter simple things are just much sweeter being simple. 

What Are Your Dreams?

Good Day Beautiful's!!

I had started writing this post the other day which I didn't get around to posting it because I got to busy with everyday life. I am here today to finally post this up because I think it's an amazing little task to do for each one of ourselves. I wasn't even going to post this today either but I was like I really have to get on this and actually sit down to write it all out for myself. It must be the perfect day for this because the dry street walks, aren't so much dry no more, they are graced with god's white winter snow. A disappointment to some, yeah to others not and to myself I'm just in between taking it all in. For this post it's a perfect day to take time out to do this, so continue reading down below. =)


My post for today has to do with the new book I started reading called 'The Magic' by Rhonda Byrne who wrote 'The Secret and The Power' both great reads. This new book isn't set up the way the last two are, this third book is definitely challenges to do with gratitude. It's definitely not a book you read and read like a story. It's a lesson each day to know what you have to complete and I was so intrigued in reading this and then reading what I have.. I was like wow! I could read it and go back and do the challenges but I don't feel like that makes sense to do, so I am going to do each challenge which there is 28. So over the next 28 days on my blog will be different challenges for each day and a higher volume of blog posts related to this book until it's completed. So fore warning you, if you don't like these posts you will know because of the title set above, along with (day #12) for example. I will make sure to do other things as a regular 3 posts for the week but it will technically be more than three posts a week. If it feels overwhelming sorry, but if not and glad to view more from me great. And for all those that want to join in with me, please do! I was thinking about how I wanted to go about this if I should write it in a journal, notebook, computer etc that's to myself but there is something inside of me that wants me to come onto my blog and post about it. I think it will be a great thing because I am not keeping it to my self but also it's set out into the universe and I feel that is the best way for me to accomplish and do these tasks. I hope you all enjoy and thanks for reading these posts from here on out for the next 28 days. The first step was not Day 1's challenge it was just to gather all this information and put it down on paper. I definitely will not have my challenges pre-written out on paper first, so everything that gets onto each post is all in the moment. I am just going to get into the actual task at hand and I will start day #1 officially on April 1st. As for this first little Dreams task I am not going to be posting this onto my blog but starting with Day #1 I will. So everyone can do this which ever way they want. I do hope you take the time to do this Dreams task because I think it's a good thing to sit down and do. 


The "What Are Your Dreams?" is about being clear on what you really want. So the goal here is to sit down with a computer, pen and paper to make a list of what you really want in every area of your life. It's not a list to make a list it's a list for you to really think through every detail of what you want to be, do or have in your life -- in your relationships, career, finances, health and every area that is important to you. You can be as specific and detailed as you like but the point is to list what you want not how you're going to get what you want. The "how" will be done for you when gratitude works it's magic. 


I am going to write this rest according from the book because to par phase it won't do justice for the very least. 


If you want a better  job, or your dream job, then think about everything you want the job to be. Think about the things that are important to you, such as the type of work you want to do, how you want to feel in your job, the type of company you want to work for, the kind of people you want to work with, the hours you want to work, where you want your job to be, and the salary you want to receive. Get very clear about what you want in the job by thinking it through thoroughly and writing all the details down.


If you want money to educate your children, work out the details of their education, including which school you want your children to attend, the cost of the school fees, books, food, clothing, and transportation, so that you know exactly how much money you will need. 


If you want to travel, then write down the details of the countries you want to visit, how long you want to travel for, what you want to see and do, where you want to stay, and the means by which you want to travel.


If you want a perfect partner, then write down every detail of the characteristics you want that person to have. If you want improved relationships, write down the relationships you want to improve, and what you want them to be like.


If you want more health, or an improved bodily condition, be specific about what ways you want to improve your health or body. If you want a dream home, then list every detail of what you want the home to be, room by room. If there are specific material things you want, like a car, clothes, or appliances, write them down. 


If you want to achieve something, such as passing an exam, getting a degree, a goal in sports, succeeding as a musician, doctor, writer, actor, scientist, or businessperson, or whatever it is you would like to achieve, write it down and be as specific as possible. 


Rhonda Byrne urges to find the time to maintain a list of your dreams throughout your life time. How? By writing down the little things, the big things, or what you want this moment, this month, or this year. As you think of more things, add them to the list and the things you receive cross them off the list. An easy way to do a list is to divide it into categories of: 


- Health and body
- Career and work
- Money
- Relationships
- Personal desires
- Material things
and just add things to each category that you want. 


When you get clear about the things you want, you are giving a definite direction to the way you want gratitude's magical power to change our life, and you are ready to begin the most exciting and thrilling adventure you've ever been on!

Hello Hello All My Little Sunshines!

It's Friday and yaaay for that because it's the wonderful weekend! Woot! I know I haven't done my 3 post yet this week but my other post I will do tomorrow since I have not had the time. I definitely will have that up tomorrow, so check back for that.   Anyways, it another one of my Friday posts and I am going to get right into it! 

1. The beginning of the week was pure amazement! Yep, I was fully haywire, adrenaline because of the time change I could not sleep for the life of me. The next 3 days consisted of me full on laughter, excited, craziness energy. 

2. Thursday and Today(Friday) has been more mellow, calm but tiring along with a bit exhausting. I cannot wait for Saturday (tomorrow) and Sunday to relax. 

3. I love love loved my time last weekend with my two good friends! It was a great time at new different restaurants to eat. I like trying new things out and so it was a nice change from familiar places. 

4. One Tree Hill was definitely intense this week. Grey's last night was right on point with what I thought would happen. Oh boy was the things that happened tragedies.  As for Vampire Diaries, I really think it's the doctor up to something not Elena's guardian. 90210, what the heck is wring with miss. crazy blondey pants who I guess acts as Limas agent. So much drama, so little time, lol. 

5. I can't wait until Tuesday to see 21 Jump Street after work with a co-worker! I am excited because this month has been a really good month for me! I have been doing a lot of things with a lot of people and I like that! Actually I loooove it! 

6. I love how the last 3 days I was able to make people laugh and be super happy. It's great when days are awesome like that! I treasure those days like a field of summer daisies. 

7. I really really am in the need of wanting to read a new book! I need some reading material to past through my mind this weekend. I am literally dying from not reading. Who gets like that, lol?! I guess I am in one of those moods of getting my read on, so the book to become of my mind shall be decided this weekend. 

8. I am looking forward for 30 minutes of television from Khloe & Lamar this Sunday! I always seem to forget or have work or something comes up.

9. Yaaaay, my hair finally got to the hair salon today after work! It's so light weight and healthy looking. It's super amazing, it reminds me of supermodel hair, all flowy and bouncy in the wind! ;) I looove my hair stylist, she's incredibly awesome and an amazing multi-tasker at all the jobs she has going in her life! Also she is amazingly beautiful! =) 

10. I am excited to meet up with my friend next Friday to see 'The Hunger Games'!!! i can't wait for that even though I haven't read the book but I am going to borrow it from a co-worker since it's said to be an easy read. I can't wait to start along with finish reading the first book!

11. Another amazing thing is the snow is finally gone and I am so grateful, beyond grateful! I cannot wait until it gets warmer to put on some shorts and only having to wear a tee out! I am so happy plus glad because it's my birthday soon and the snows gone! Yaaaaay, spring.. I loooove you beyond this universe! 

12. Last Friday night I went to meet up with my friend and the new place we went to eat was great, the stir fry was so delicious! I would go back there again it was that good, however it's not quiet talking it's screaming over because it's so loud from everyone talking but not sure about during the week. It was different atmosphere, but cool. I liked it a lot and really reasonable prices! Oh it was called 'The Sugarbowl' cute name hey!? However, I went on a Friday evening which is bound to be busy and loud because everybody wants to relax, right! After eating, the play she took me to was incredibly amazing. It was so super funny, it was a definite great time to end a fabulous Friday night. 

13. I didn't mention because I did not want to make a separate post to announce this but my one post about 'act like a lady, think like a man' I added more to that post because it wasn't up to par with some information that seems very useful to me to put on that post for all the beautiful women out there! I hope you enjoyed it if you checked it out and if not click here! =) 

14. The lovely daybookblog changed her hair color which my beautiful friend made me aware of because I had been to busy lately to check out some of my favorite blogs. Oh boy does her hair look "pretty bombshell" as I had said to my lovely friend when she told me. ;)

15. My last post about blonde hair, blue eyes or green eyes biracial kids on how rare it is. Yeah I hope my kids look as cute as that but I also think it's cool too because they are so adorable! I love how my friend pictures my future kids like that or thinks my kids will look like that or at least very close to it, maybe.. maybe not but I will still be grateful for my kids no matter what color, sex etc. I will be blessed for the opportunity to have them because just to have kids is a blessing in it's self. I think it's so cool because for me it would be complete opposite from what people would expect or what is in my family. No one in my family is like that and I think it would be too cool, rare, beautiful and completely amazing. I think green eyes would be even super pretty as well as the blue.

16. I loved the story to the above #15 that my friend was telling me and how at her last job there was a little girl who had a twin sister plus a brother. My ideal family is 3 kids, a boy and then two girls. Two girls where I think having them twins would be so awesome, a lot of work yes but amazingly awesome! I feel like it would be killing two birds with one stone to have twin girls instead of separate. I am just saying.. :p

17. I just cannot wait for the future and for my future husband because I cannot wait for the beautiful fun times with my lovely friend. I can't wait until we both have kids and have cute little play dates, or helping each other out by watching each others kids, so we can have a date night and things like that. It's exciting because I can't wait to see her future kids along with seeing my own and finding out the beautiful names that will become part of who they are. The other thing I can't wait for is the fact of her kids having multiple languages. English, Spanish from her side and when it comes to me I just have English, so sad. I definitely want my kids to know a second language, it's a must for me for my future kids. It's so handy and just adds to your character as a person of what you are capable of learning/achieving. I love that. =)

18. Booo my skin feels like it's breaking out again and oily.. I don't know if it's because the weather change or what but I cannot wait to use my new cleanser tomorrow! My first officially day since I haven't had anytime to get onto testing it out again officially for a second time. 

This is the end for me, I am just too tired to write anything more but I think I have said everything I wanted. If not there is always next Friday's post. Have a great Friday night. 

in loooove!

Good Afternoon/Evening, (Because it's pretty much evening in 30 minutes)


I just wanted to come on here to post about something I was researching today. Something that is probably a very weird search but I wanted to know more in depth about it. And yes it has to do with a hair color or maybe more specifically a hair term? I am sure everyone knows the normal, regular hair options: blonde, brown, black when asked what your hair color is. Oh and I guess ginger is included as well since there is red heads in this beautiful world. I think the color amber looks really pretty too, but besides the point. The term that I was looking for was 'fair haired' I never really heard that term before, but I probably have but it never really came across my mind fully until now lately. So I did my research and found out about what the term fair hair means which is considered blonde or blond. The dictionary definitions:


blond - a person with fair hair and skin and usually light eyes / (of men's hair) of a light color; fair / a person, esp a man, having light-colored hair and skin. 


blonde - (of women's hair) of a light color; fair / (of a person, people or race) having fair hair, a light complexion, and typically, blue or green eyes. 


Now  getting into it more, blond derives from old french blund, blont meaning meaning "a color mid-way between golden and light chestnut which gradually overshadowed the native term fair of the same meaning. Fair became the general term for light-complexioned. Blond is one of the few words in English that maintains a feminine and masculine grammatical genders. 


To break down the different variety blondes are the following:
- blond/flaxen : refers to a light but not whitish blond with no traces of red, gold, or brown. This color is often described as "flaxen"
- yellow : yellow-blond which it can also be referred to hair which has been dyed yellow.
- platinum blond or towheaded : whitish-blond that is often used to describe bleached hair while towhead refers to natural hair color
- sandy blond : greyish-hazel or cream-colored blond
- golden blond : a darker to rich, golden yellow blond
- strawberry blond, venetian blond or honey blond : a light or dark amberish golden blond
- dirty blond or dishwater blond : dark blond with flecks of golden blond and brown
- ash-blond : pale or grayish blond
- bleached blond, bottle blond or peroxide blond : artificial blond sslighty less white than platinum blond


While doing my research I ended up looking into biracial children with blonde hair because it's rare to me and it's just not something you see regularly. Boy, are kids who look that way the cutest eveer! I am in absolute loooove! I am so in love because it is so rare and I think that would be so cool and neat to have kids like that. I am sure there comes with downfalls of people not believing that child or children are yours. Even the simple fact of the color of their skin which to me that doesn't matter. A person is a person no matter their outer appearance, it's what counts within someone, however to some it isn't so. Down below of have added a few photos on what I am talking about and how gorgeous they look! I know this was a very random post but this is just something I wanted to talk about today because it's pure beauty. 

A random photo I came across as researching 

Thandie Newton's daughter when she was little

Thandie Newton's daughter Nico with blonde hair

I do also want to mention each and every person is beautiful in their own way and I want to put that out there as well. It doesn't matter if you baby isn't the blonde hair, blue eyes because everyone is beautiful. 


I hope you have a lovely evening.

Well Hello Friday! 


And oh thank you mother nature for the beautiful weather today, it is fabulous!!! This week has seemed to fly by me oh so very fast which I guess is great in a way! I am back again for another Friday of my random thoughts from the week. I actually like doing these posts it's fun and yeah, I really like them. I shall get started here ...


1. I have learnt a lot within this past week or two when it comes to communication. [Remember my goal I said in another post? If not click here] Well I have come to realize that pushing it all aside because you think nothing is going to happen is not true. Because well that pretty little negative thought has definitely proved me wrong and has opened my eyes. It has opened my eyes to things that people would have never known or thought that was the way I was thinking if I had never said anything because they would never think that that was what I was thinking. So overall pro-founding revelation in my eyes. When people say communication is key, I honestly agree that it is!


2. My week has seemed very stress free and mellow with a bit of tiredness from working super late to sleeping in really late on my day off. Both neither great because then my sleep pattern gets messed up for the week and or the next week.  I am grateful for being able to have a nice comfy bed to sleep in because they're some people who don't have that luxury and for that I am thankful.


3. My last week's mention of I need a let's go eat out is happening this weekend, ha .. actually I already had a chance to with a friend tonight and tomorrow I get to meet up with another good close friend, woot! As for tonight it was fabulous! I had a great time like I do every single time we hang out! :D


4. I love when my energy is vibrant and full of laughter from crazy stuff or random things that makes life that much more great!


5. I feel like this week and last I haven't felt very energetic when having a conversation with my close friends via text message. The conversations has seemed short and that is mostly on my part since I just haven't had all the total energy from my crazy week of super late work etc. I think my conversation in person with the people I have been talking to via text will be a lot more excitement since we are hanging out face to face. It is always nice to communicate in that way instead of always via text. I am grateful for the ability to text to be in touch because it is so easy and yeah. [communication, communication such a trending thing this week]


6. I love love love how someone does something so unexpected that you weren't even expecting to happen. Haha, it still got me the next day that I couldn't get over it. I am very appreciative of having someone stay up to say goodnight when I was off work at 12:30am and they have work the next day because we weren't able to chat on the phone. I truly have amazing people in my life, yes I do. I didn't feel guilty or bad just an 'oh my gosh I can't believe you stay up that late' when they could have sent a text and went to sleep. Very thoughtful and I am truly blessed. 


7. I have so much stuff to talk about my minds genius of thoughts as of late yesterday, yep.


8. I like that I have a show on Sunday nights because usually Friday, Saturday and Sunday there isn't anything for me to watch. Just Monday-Thursday but of course Khloe & Lamar makes my Sunday nights even if it's only for 30 minutes once a week.


9. I am excited for spring/summer!! I saw the cutest swim suit Wednesday that I want to get! It's super cute but I also saw some at other stores which I want to check out too. I will see about the swim because I don't exactly have anywhere tropical booked to go to but its a definite 'heart set on' item.


10. I think the song 12:51 (original) by Krissy and Ericka is a really cute song! There is also an official music video on youtube click here to watch.


11. I am glad I have gotten to read something and can't wait to read my next book that I purchased. It's called 'The Magic' by Rhonda Bryne who wrote 'The Secret' and 'The Power'


12. Finally stopping by Bath and Body Works to check out the new scents for the spring/summer and walking out with two new candles and a body scrub for my mom because I thought it smelled so good. It was called Aruba Coconut. The two candles I got were Mango Beachwood and Coconut Water. 


11. I really want to go somewhere as of lately, just get up and go somewhere. I think it also comes from researching up places such as Hawaii and other tropical places this beautiful earth has to offer.


12. I think my really close friend and her boyfriend are too cute! The way they are from when she talks makes me feel like this "My future couple to look up to when and if I have a boyfriend ever! lol =)" I loved her response "I still can't wait to see who that boyfriend is!!!" I honestly can't wait to see who he is either because it makes me excited just thinking about it. 


13. I love thedaybookblog aka Sydney. I always have to mention to my close good friend about her outfit posts especially these last two she's posted about, damn! My first thoughts on Wednesdays outfit look "Hot damn, she looks so darn smokin in the outfit she put together! that's definitely a HOT date look for me, no questions asked! =)" and for Thursdays look "damn she just pulls looks like a fresh to death mercedes benz!"


14. Me, hoping to have a boy in the near future because it's been all girls only in our family and a boy would be nice. I have always wanted a brother forever since I can remember/small but I know that wasn't possible. However, I do have someone in my life that is like a brother figure to me and so having a son would be even greater for me in my near future.


15. The Cinnamon Challenge was a great highlight brought to my attention by my friend. I honestly could not try that but it was funny. Here's the video. Haha, the end with talking about chili powder, oh daamn what a crazy challenge that would be.


16. My very very last thought is from tonight, when I realized I had a feeling about something but never said anything because when I do it's actually the thought that comes out of my mouth which is then true. It either becomes true 10 minutes later, an hour, the next day or a couple of days. It's when I have said something from my mouth that it just automatically comes to me. It just blurts out and then people are like whoa how did you know that but it's just simply me listening to my intuition. I have always  listened to it and when I haven't that's when things aren't very great but the very rarest cases when I never listen to it. Maybe I should have said something but at the same time I didn't feel the need to stress someone on my thoughts especially while they're at work, working. 


I believe this is the end of my thoughts for this week. So have a lovely weekend. =) Thanks for those who read these friday thoughts. I know they're long, so if you read all the way to the bottom thanks and I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to hear my thoughts.  


Have a wonderful late rest of the night that is left. 

Act like a Lady, Think like a Man

Hii Beautiful Lovelies!

So I said I would be back yesterday for today and I am! As for what I want to mention about tonight is a book I had been reading last week called 'Act like a lady think like man' by Steve Harvey. I know it came out few years ago but now it is a movie coming out soon. To be honest this isn't my first time getting this book. I actually got this when it first came out because my cousin was like if you want I will buy you a book. I got it and I returned it because I thought it was stupid at the time since I had 'He's just not that into you'. No, I didn't read the whole book when I got it just skimming through it and reading different stuff, it didn't seem for me. Since I heard there was a movie I was curious what the book was really about and I went back onto youtube to view some of the interviews conducted by people such as oprah, ellen etc. I found it very intriguing and I was like okay, I want to really read this now. I did and I thought it was interesting and there was some laughter while reading it as well. I think at the time when it first came out why it didn't fully interest me because you know when you are a certain place in life and just aren't ready to comprehend certain things. I feel like that was me back then as though 'he's just not into you' was more my focus because at the time that is what made sense in my head to understand and the 'act like a lady think like a man' was not in my comprehension to understand. As I was reading this book I noted some things that stuck out for me and they may be very brief or vague to some of you who haven't read the book but I don't want to give away all this information inside of the book because then there wouldn't be a point for you to purchase it. I also noticed a lot of things associated together in threes which was interesting. So here's my things I got from the book in point form.


- #1 title = who he is #2 how he gets title = what he does #3 reward for effort = how much he makes
- #1 profess #2 provide #3 protect
- He's needs are #1 support #2 loyalty #3 the cookie
- When wanting to talk about something instead of the famous 'we need to talk' use something like nothings wrong I just want to talk to you about ... 
- A man always wants something. Always. and when it comes to women, that plan is always to find out two things #1 if you're willing  to sleep with him and #2 if you are, how much it will cost to get you to sleep with him
- Sports fish or a keeper which is the basically how you would let a man treat you if you have standards or if you don't set any standards. 
- How a lot of women are willing to put up with a lot of things from guys because either they have something they want: money, fame, lifestyle or all 3. Many don't realize that they are nothing more than for sex and arm candy because they never bother to ask the simple question of 'where is this going'. 
- They (Women) don't bother to quiz men up front about their intentions and if women simply took the time to ask that very simple question they would know the guy wasn't looking for anything serious. 
- A first step to do before getting into deep is to let go of the fear of losing the guy by confronting him.
- If he can't give you a concrete example of how you've shown your 'kindness', he's not really thinking about you beyond the surface. (example: "You remember that time when it was my mom's birthday and you called me and reminded me to pick up a card for her? That was really nice.")
- If you have probed and asked the question where he's feelings don't run very deep then he is just not there and you need not be there too.
- Men are full aware they need to answer these questions, however if his not going to bother to answer, then don't waste your time with him.
- Don't think you're going to work it out later or wait it out until he gets more comfortable because that would be nothing more than blind hope and you'll have to find out the hard way that this guy isn't for you.
- It's your right to know all the answers, so don't think that it's not. 
- When you are getting the information from the questions ask yourself if you see yourself in his short-term plans, his long-term plans, as a part of his family, having babies with him, helping him continue a solid relationship with his mom, being a role-model dad for our kids, the whole picture? 
- A grave mistake that you could do is to give your benefits (the cookie) to a guy who's only been on the job for a week or two because you don't know this man -- not much anyways, he doesn't know you and he hasn't proven himself. 
- Plus he could walk off the job at any time and there will be nobody but yourself to blame.
- A guy who gets the benefits early in a relationship is more likely to move onto a committed relationship because he didn't have to put in work or prove himself.
- The women who lays out the requirements (probabtionary period) early on and lets her intended know that he can either rise up to the requirements or just move on because it lets him know you are not a plaything -- not someone to be used or discarded.
- The man who is willing to meet the requirements and put in the time is the one you want to stick around and you win the ultimate prize of maintaining your dignity along with self-esteem plus earning the respect of the man who recognized that you were worth the wait.
- It's your right to want what you want and to actually get it. 
- Put yourself first, ask the five questions, withhold the benefits and demand the respect. 
- The decision is Y.O.U.R.S. whether you want a guy to sleep with you, kiss you, when to let go of each other's hug and embrace. Where they put their hands on your body and if they can keep touching that place or if they need to let it go. 
- There job is to convince you to give those things to them but ultimately the decision on whether they get it or not is O.U.R.S. 
- Only give up that power to a man when one has earned it and is going to respect it and do something with it. 
- The following are forms of payment: a hug, kiss, talking on the phone, going for a walk in the park, having an ice cream cone together, going out for dinner, getting dressed up for them, exchanging emails + Our time = is a form of payment.
- The benefits are if he wants to sleep with you, make babies and have a family with you. Those are benefits and his got 90 days to prove himself were as you have 90 days to figure this man out. 
- Let the guy know what you want and what you expect early to get uncomfortable moments out of the way.
- Women want clarity and what they want to know in a nutshell is this: Where's the relationship going? Do you love me? Am I the one? What do you see for us?
- The number one cause of failure in this country is the fear of failure. Fear paralyzes you from taking action. Don't be afraid to lose him, because if a man truly loves you, he's not going anywhere. 




To not let yourself get played, start by being really clear up front as to what he wants out of his life and his relationship with you by these 5 questions. These 5 questions will help determine  what values the guy has and where you fit into his plans. 
1. What are your short-term goals? 
2. What are our long-term goals?
3. What are your views on relationships?
(Find out how he feels about family. What are his views on it? Does he want a family? How does he feel about children? Does he see himself being a father? How his relationship is with mother? How he feels about his father? His relationship with God?)


(The following questions is for when you have been talking and dating for a while. The following question should be asked before you have parted with 'the cookie'.)
4. What do you think about me?
(Every man is going to give the generic answer of: I think you're great I think you'd make a great mom, you're fun, kind, you're really beautiful, you turn me on, you're energetic, outgoing, a hard worker, very smart. I think you're the kind of woman I could see myself with. But ultimately you want specifics and you want to know that he has thought about you beyond the surface. So do follow-ups as exhibit A: 'Oh, you think I'm kind? What about me makes you think I'm kind?)


(Should not be confused with what do you "think" about me -- "think and "feel" are two wholly different things. If a man cannot tell you after a month of dating how he feels about you, it's because he doesn't feel anything for you -- he just wants something.)
5. How do you feel about me?
(What you're looking for in his answer is like this: "When I don't see you, I miss talking to you, I always wonder what you're doing and whenever you come around, I just feel better -- you're the type of woman I've been trying to find.") I think you're cool answer is not going to cut it here. 




There was top ten questions to formulate what exactly are your requirements and I think everyone could benefit from these questions who are unsure or have never really thought about certain questions. The following = 
1. What specific kind of man are you looking for? (For example, Funny? Hardworking? Generous?)
2. How do you expect to be pursued? (Do you want regular phone calls? Text messages? Dates at least three times a week? Do you  want him to always pick up the tab?)
3. What level of commitment do you expect? (Do you want an open relationship? Or to date exclusively? Should it be up for discussion?)
4. What kind of financial security do you expect this man to have? (Do you want him to be rich? Do you want him to make more money than you? Are you okay with a blue-collar worker?)
5. Do you want a man who wants kids and is family oriented? 
6. Does he have to be religious/spiritual?
7. Do you mind if he's divorce or has kids?
8. Can you help a man build his dream? Can you adapt to his plan?
9. What do you expect of his family? (Should you get along with his mother? Do you care if he doesn't get along with her? Or if his father was never around?)
10. What should he be willing to do to woo you? (Should he pursue you? Give you expensive gifts?) 


90 day rule
The probationary period  means nothing if you're not putting him through the paces. And in which case you should be checking for the following: 


- does he come when he said he's going to come
- does he call when he's going to be late
- does he like and care about your friends
- if you have them, does he care about your children
- does he express his joy when in your presence
- most importantly, is this the man you can see yourself in a committed relationship with?
- do you see signs that make your god-given intuition kick in?




Things You May Want to Find Out
1. How does he react when you tell him you've got some problems?
2. How does your man react under pressure?
3. How does he react to bad news?
4. How does he react when he's told "no"?




A list of things to do with your man to help you and him stay focused on the relationship.


1. Go on dates that help you find out each other's interests: if he's into photography, hit up a photography exhibit at the local museum; if you're into cooking, take a cooking class together.
2. Host a barbecue at your house and invite him to meet your friends and family; a good guy should be comfortable meeting the people you love.
3. Go to church together; know that he's interested.
4. Sign up for a sexy Latin dance class so you can learn new moves -- it'll show you if he's into trying new things, and you can tell if the man has, um, rhythm.
5. Go out for a picnic in the park with the kids; see if he's comfortable with them.
6. Find out each other's favorite artists and attend a concert together.
7. Release your inner kid and spend an evening playing games at an arcade.
8. Have a few "firsts" together -- go horseback riding together, or hit up a batting cage, or fall over each other at the ice skating rink.
9. Volunteer together -- help out at the local soup kitchen or read books to kids at a local foster home; you can tell a lot about a man who's willing to help others.
10. rent a convertible and get lost cruising in your city; you'll have plenty of time to talk on a long drive.
11. Find a quiet place where you can watch the sunset together.
12. Play a board game.
13. Go for a long walk under a starlit sky.
14. Send each other naughty emails, so he can be sure that when he does get it, it's going to be good. (And you can make sure he's literate while you're at it.)
15. Read a passage out of each other's favorite books.
16. Have a movie night in which you both bring your favorite DVDS.
17. Go to a record store and listen to each other's favorite artists.
18. Challenge each other to do something silly, like build a sandcastle at the beach or a game of jacks or marbles.
19. Hit up a comedy show; you can learn a lot about a person by what they find funny and what they think is offensive.


What You Want, Expect and are Worth
You want to make it clear to him what you are worth and you come at a cost. You want to tell him you're worth like your about to list yourself on ebay for a million dollars. So you need to break down your value and say : "I respect you, I adore you, I'm affectionate. I pay attention to you, I'm punctual, I'm kind, I'm loyal, I'll have your children and love them madly -- and all of this is available for a handsome sum. I need your time, loyalty, support, affection, attention, punctuality, kindness, gentlemen ways -- I need the doors opened, chairs pulled out, your respect and above all else, your love. I also expect a diamond ring and a walk down the aisle."
(So when a man hears this, he is going to pay attention because you have placed a high value on yourself. He will see that and question the situation: "Is she worth all of that?" If the cost is too high he will move on but you don't want that guy anyway. You don't want that guy because he is only looking to rent you and people who rent don't care anything about the property they are with. They don't care because they will let it get run down, beat up and not care what it looks like until they find something better and move on to the next.)
You want the guy who is ready to make the Broadway purchase -- the one who's looking to move in, stay awhile, take care of the lawn, make sure the plumbing is right, paint the walls, add furniture, pay the mortgage faithfully. You know, make your house a home. Because this guy will take responsibility and be the one to pop the question like you need him to.


I think this is an interesting book to have around even if you have 'he's just not that into you' because to me they're not typically one in the same. It is definitely a quick read, you can read it in a couple of hours. However, I had been reading it over a few days but I think if you want a better understanding or to clarify some things I recommend this book. It comes in paperback form which when it first came out was only sold in hardcover which I am not a fan of hardcover, I am a paperback girl at heart. 


The book explains more in detail but I thought these were good pieces of information to gather for this post. I hope it was helpful in some way. =) 


Have a lovely night.

Skin Care Update

Hi Gorgeous Lovelies!


I am so tired, so so so tired but I had gotten up to talk to my lovely cousin from NY and then supper was up. So as I am eating supper I have decided to type this post before I leave it and becomes not to my goal of 3 posts a week. I had an interesting discovery the other day from my sister because I was wondering why she has 2 different skin care lines using and she told me about the one I mentioned on my blog that she also has as well. Well to my surprise I am very disappointed not with the product not doing it's job but the way they market the product so you think you are getting what you are paying for. The bottles that you see probably look like a lot right? Definitely not the case at all with these products, open up the silver tab and out comes another container but so much smaller. I am very disappointed in the fact the product costs so much and probably most people think it's worth it because they don't realize how much they're really paying for the contents inside the bottle. I thought it should be worth mentioning this for all fellow people who use or having been wanting to use this product. Don't get me wrong it's a good system but not for the price for what you are actually paying for. 

After having this brought to my attention I have decided to go onto a new skin care routine which I had used in the past a long time ago and, I have used many skin care products but I remember when I used this product it really worked for me. I am going back to this product because there line is all natural and just great from when I used it in the past. However, I will see how that will plan out once I get into routine for it again and if it really does work for me now as in the past. My new skin care product is now Korres, White Tea facial cleanser. There is also a 3 in 1 which I thought was neat but the consistency is thicker but it's a cleanser/toner/make-up remover all in one which I thought was great. Great in the sense that usually you have to buy a toner, cleanser, moisturizer etc. I think that is perfect for someone who doesn't want to spend money on having a number of different products to use to cleanse the face. The white tea cleanser I got is just a cleanser and then you can get a toner separate which is pomegranate; I however opted not to get that at the moment. There also was a moisturizer that I was looking at getting as well but I am not too sure on that as the girl who helped me gave me a sample of it because I probably seemed unsure along with it costed $40. 

I thought my previous skin care line was misleading to customers and thought worth sharing for exisiting and future consumers. However, out of all the Eveline Charles skin care line, the one product that I would recommend that would be worth the expense is the nano silver bar because it's a bar and would last you a long time. Another then that I wouldn't repurchase the rest of the products with the very little product that is contained in the vicinity of the bottle. I will put up a direct post on how I like the Korres White Tea Cleanser and if I really think it is worth your wild to get it for yourself. 


I shall add the photos of everything tomorrow when I am more up to beat. Do be on the look out for another post tomorrow from me. I am not to sure on what exactly yet because I have a number of things that I want to mention. However, do be on the look out and have a lovely beautiful night! :D
