CARAMEL TEA IS SOOOO GOOD. YUMMY........

LITTLE BLACK DRESSOLOGY

Oswald and have this thing I play HALO 3 with him and he reads magazines with me. I decided to do a little experiment on him, ELLE had a great artical for NOVEMBER , "What's you little black dress personality" . I had him choose which style of LBD he liked. They gave 5 examples, retro, edgy, romantic, sophisticated, sexy. I wanted an average man's opinion on the style they liked (AVERAGE= HOTTIE there you go O) ANYWAY. he chose edgy and sophisticated two totally opposite styles. That just goes to show how men like their variety. I love the classic retro style LBD or the sexy ones. Here go a few LDB's that I thought were interesting tell me what you think.

Beyonce in a futuristic LBD at the Europe music awards, It's really edgy but I don't know about the hand gear. Heidi Klum looked FABULOUS in this Kaufman Franco LBD.

Ok so finally this is the LBD I chose for NEW YEARS what do you think.

Give me you best version of the perfect LBD.

EMPTY SEX CALORIES!!!!

Empty calories describes food thats high in calories but low in nutritional value according to healthcastle .com. These food include junk food ( fast food ,chips,and anything deep fried), sweets( candy , soda, cookies), and beer. When I'm in restaurants at the grocery store or even just on t.v. we are warned against the dangers of empty calories and the effect they can have on you physically.

Well, I'm here to warn you about another type of empty calorie. EMPTY SEX CALORIES. What are "empty sex calories " you ask . They can be described (by me) as sex that may be high in pleasure but low in emotional value. WE ALL HAVE HAD THEM . One night stands , dead end relationships , and booty calls are stocked full of these calories .YUMMY. We as women love them they do the same thing to us as the empty calories we get from those food we love . FRENCH FRIES = OSWALD. lol (Just kidding). These empty sex calories settle in places that can be hard to get rid of. How do we avoid these EMPTY SEX CALORIES. I know it maybe hard to stop cold turkey but you can definitely take baby steps. Just say no to those late night phone calls STOP ANSWERING THE PHONE, put it on silent after 12 or just turn it off completely. Take off those beer goggles , take a trust worthy girlfriend out with you to just help you say NO!!!( THANKS SHALONDA) and finally get rid of all the dirty birds in you life. DELETE DELETE DELETE. Clean house it's ok to be a bitch sometimes that will help you weed out the bad ones .I always say if he doesn't come correct he doesn't cum at all . YOU GO GIRL!!! i know you can do it, let's show these men they do not have a hold on us. If you like those empty sex calories that's cool. If you can handle it go for it . I'm looking for a healthy relationship with lots of perks .

thanks for listening.

just sayin''

WHEN THE BIG CITY EATS YOU ALIVE

Atlanta..... Since I was young I've always wanted to live here. I used to tell my mom that when I grow up I want to live under the big Ferris wheel(six flags) lol . I've been alot of places because my father was in the military. I moved here in 2005. I had a great job that love I had a apartment in a nice area and I met friends pretty quickly. I was dating and hanging out , dinner movies the whole nine. I spent money like crazy, new clothes , going out , and just general living. I've never had any regrets about the choices I've made in my life but when i look at the way I changed when I got here I doubt my decisions. I really feel like I was engulfed by this city.. My parents weren't happy about me moving here but I did it anyway . Did they know something about me that I didn't . Should I have listened to there warning. Growing up many things were taken care of for me that I never had to worry about, paying bills, doing laundry, even just making well thought out life choices. I did really crazy things like spend my money to go out to one of the many parties that bombarded my email on a daily basis instead of doing adult things like pay bills. I saw it all , I saw girls lose themselves to become the it girls who dated the hottest guys had a nice car and was invited to every party with V.I.P. status .I was one of them. Yes i regret not focusing on the task at hand and if I can change the way the city began to eat me alive I would do sooooooo many things differently. I can say at this point while i sit here to blog about this I have definitely changed. I look at how I was influenced by city life I was never in the lime light or on of the popular girl , but that was all by choice. Atlanta has many great qualities. It's a very progressive city and has lots to offer. I came here at a time when I thought that I knew myself but I realize I didn't know my adult self. I let the city make my decisions for me .I didn't trust how smart I was and let men and so called friends develop my life style for me. So here goes my warning , if you reading this blog and you are making a decision to move here make sure you have a plan . A successful plan that help you deal with all the inconsistencies in life . Make sure to keep your family really close to you . They will keep you on level ground and surround yourself with friends that have your back no matter what( thanks SHALONDA) .Lastly keep God in your life or whatever you believe in to keep your spirit in tack. I love this city but I have to let her go for a bit. I don't want to say goodbye so I'll say see you later.
thanks for listening.

LOVIN' THIS...

Nicole Richie is on of a kind . She has her own style and can definitely be considered a trend setter. I think that because stars have there own style that can eventually design and have their own brand. Some stars are just that , STARS and out their stamp on things , and I'm like OK will they even wear that. Most of the time , NOPE but stars like Nicole Richie, Sara Jessica Parker, and Mary Kate/Ashley Olsen who set their own trends and march to the beat of their own drum I get excited. Back to the task at had . Nicole Richie has a new jewelry line out called House of Harlow 1960( named after hare beautiful daughter Harlow) this line has some great pieces at a very reasonable price . Check it out.




Beautiful huh, well if you aren't a fan at least this picture is beautiful. You can find Ms. Richie's jewelry at shopkitson.com.

MAKING YOUR SMALL SPACE WORK.

I have a tiny apt. It's a one bedroom converted basement with a separate entrance in the heart of Grant Park. I absolute love it,even though the house is old and I have a slumlord. I have alot of things, OK mostly clothes and such but it can tend to get kind of cramped. So I went on a mission I wanted to scale down my space to that i would have a lovely interesting place with lots of interesting things. I took on this task at hand on a Saturday. Oswald had a friend in town for the weekend and I knew that I wanted to have them over for dinner. I took on the hardest part of the apt MY BEDROOM . I had clothes everywhere. My first tip to simplify you small space is 1) start with the hardest thing and then move to the easiest. I went through my closet and went ape shit . I threw out so many clothes I scaled my closet down to like half I bagged them up and took it all to the salvation army. ( I GIVE AND GIVE). So i got the bed room finished closet...check....fresh sheets......check.......vacuum check..... accesories, ohhhh no to much. Surprise, on my way out I stopped by the Ikea and grabbed some cute containers and push pins . I put the earrings and bracelets in the container and pinned the necklaces to the wall. FAB. These were only 1.99 at ikea.com



Next, I move to my kitchen. After the general scrub I pulled out something else i found at Ikea. I get these emails from MarthaStewart.com and they have some great organization ideas . I have a set of glasses for every type of dring you can name . Most glasses aren't stakable but I grabbed this tray to make more room.









This is what it looks like...



Another tip of mine when it comes to working out hat small space of your , 2) it's the 3 S's , STORAGE , SHELVING, STACKING. One really great idea I pickes up has to do with all of my grocery bags. I usually carry my own bag when I picking up small things at the grocery store but if I'm doing some major grocery shopping I welcome the bags. I have a tissue box cover that i stuff all the bags in. I have a dog so I don't like to buy those expensive doggy pickup bags. I have totally conquered the small space woes. KEEP IT SIMPLE SEXY (kiss).

DIRTY BIRDS AND THE WOMEN THAT LOVE THEM!!!

What is a dirty bird, A dirty bird in so many words is a BAD BOY .We know who they are . MR CHARMING , MR. SWEET ( SOMETIMES) MR. YOU ARE MY ONE AND ONLY,MR. FLIRTS TO MUCH, MR. WRONG. I'm sure there is not one women out there who has not dealt with one of these. Approaches you out of the blue, takes you out a couple of times makes you feel like you are the only thing poppin' the sex is great and he has awesome pillow talk. He makes you feel like he knows EVERYTHING about you and that kind of attention makes you feel so important. On the other had ,it takes him about a month to stop taking you out, you only see him at night , and when he calls you it's to see if you can do something for him. Even though you see all these things for example the midnight phone call from random people that may or may not be his mom or his gay homegirl, strange cars in the parking lot,or constant ass watching when you take him out ( HE WON'T TAKE YOU OUT SO YOU MIGHT as WELL)!!! If this sound like you odds are you are with a DIRTY BIRD.... I grabbed this off line .... the pattern of a BAD BOY read the blue txt

He is good to her
He is attentive and demonstrates caring
He is possibly even romantic
He takes her to bed
He takes a nap
He becomes abusive: emotionally, verbally, physically
He treats her badly
He is inattentive and could care less about her
He goes his own way and does what he wants to do, when he wants to do it, and who he wants to do it with
He needs sex again
He begins to be good to her again
He is attentive and demonstrates caring
He is possibly even romantic
He takes her to bed
I know it's hard, I've gone through this before . You know for a long time that I should say no but, it hard to find men ( THAT'S AN EXCUSE) lol I don't even really know if I want to try any longer. So today I made a conscience effort to just not be available (TWO POINTS FOR ROS AND A GOLD STAR). On of the things the articles on bad boys said (YES I RESEARCHED IT) is that most women who date bad boys are very insecure. I know that I'm not but in this last year I've increasingly became so .I have even questioned my beauty and strength. Well no more, no more disrespect, no more insecurity , no more great sex ( DARN !!!! LOL) and ultimately no more DIRTY BIRDS......
break the cycle!!
Thanks for listening...

YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS!!

I absolutely love love love to eat.... I hang out with my girlfriends or whoever and go to some really nice reasonable priced eateries in the city..... About a week ago I went to this new spot on Edgewood called Cafe' Circa (that's where I watched the election) . ANYWAY!!!! we got there and immediately put our name on the list for a table the place was packed and understandable we had about an hour and a half. We went to the bar to grab the first round of drinks chatted and watched the election. ummmmmm no phone call from the hostess sooooo we grabbed another round. No call but the freakin tables we still of people sitting there WITH NO FOOD . Damn I know that we are watching an election and no one should get mad but we were trying to eat, it is a restaurant . So that's what grinds my gears when people have no consideration for others . If I were the waitress or hostess i would have told people there was a 1hr wait at each table especially if they weren't eating. I can almost bet that the wait staff didn't make as much money as they could have if they had set this standard.

CHECK IT OUT!!!

MY NEW THING

I love mascara and doing my eyes so I have a new thing NEW EXACT EYELIGHTS MASCARA by covergirl .I tried it out for the first time on my girls nightout weekend and i love it. I have very dark brown eyes so anything that will make them look FABULOUS I try to grab it up. You can go to covergirl.com to checkout the product and some of the testimonials. I was surprised to see it have some bad review but there were a few positive ones...... The most common was the fact that it was in a small tube and some people said that it was just as good as their old mascara. I would recommend only using it on a special night out....and the product only compares it to bare lashes.

Just wanna say....

I'm proud to be apart of this historic point in my relationship as a citizen of the united states....... I never thought this would happen sooooo soon. I shared this moment with a few people that I love and I'm so glad to have been apart of it. Obama getting in to office gives ALL Americans hope that we can over come everything we put our mind to. I have more hope that I will achieve all my dreams and aspirations. I so happy and thankful for this OBAMA win and I'm praising GOD for everything he has helped us achieve..

SEX ED!!!!!

Lately I've been seeing lots of sex talk on television . People have been asking for tips on how to have better sex, find their g-spot and how to please there partner in bed. Though it doesn't take much to get me going I'm not that easily turned on . I tend to do a better job of it then the person that I'm sleeping with but honestly the sex is always great because of the mental preparation. I know this may sound like I'm telling my business but I want your feed back WE may help someone else have a better sex life and this is my blog and I can do what I want......... Just some mental trick i use while preparing for sex .I may have a really hot shower , that tends to get my blood flowing anyone that knows me knows that I love taking HOT HOT HOT showers and often. After my shower I usually drench myself with body oil and or ask my mate to do it along with a quick massage. Dirty talk works wonders and using your imagination. It's not cheating to fantasies I'm guilty of it. I've though about the best sex ever or maybe someone famous or you best fantasy situation.Another thing that i love to do and it gets me going quick is kissing. After you shower and your are all warm and cozy let you partner give you a 10 second kiss. Just use you lips and kiss.OH YEAH!!!!!! Ultimatley the best sex advice I can give is DO YOUR KEIGALS keep those muscles nice and strong and you can take anything thrown at you lol. ANYWAY...... don't take my word for it...

Step1SAVE ENERGY: We can start saving energy with our Christmas lights. There are now solar Christmas lights available for outdoor decorating. So if you just have to have the house done in lights, why not try solar lights, plus they will automatically turn themselves on and off so that you don't have to mess with them. Keep your eyes open for new energy saving holiday decorations.
Step2PAPER: Save on paper this holiday season starting with your Christmas cards. Instead of sending snail mail Christmas cards; send everyone on your list an e-mailed Christmas card. It will save your the stamp and the trouble of stopping at the post office. Simply call everyone on your list and get their e-mail address to send them a holiday card. Also don't want spend crazy cash on all of tha holiday paper recycle your brown paper bags and use eco-friendly pant to decorate the outside.
Step3GIVE GREEN: This year give a greener gift to your friends and family. You could make them gifts or buy green gifts online. Search for "green Christmas gifts" online to find websites and ideas for giving green this year

WHAT'S FOR DINNER.

OK so one of my favorite things to do is entertain. I like to cook but i don't because fast food is so easy. Well because I'm on this new diet I'm starting to cook a little more. I tried out this great new recipe that I got from Martha Stewart.com. I really didn't think it would be that good but, YUMMY!!!!!! Here goes.......

Ingredients
Serves 6
1 pound linguine
1 pound turkey sausage, casings removed
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 yellow (or red) bell peppers, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons arugula, torn
Coarse salt and ground pepper, for seasoning

Directions
1.Cook linguine. Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups pasta water; return pasta to pot.

2. Meanwhile, cook sausage and 2 tablespoons water in a large covered nonstick skillet over medium until fat renders, 5 minutes. Uncover; raise heat to medium-high. Brown sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, 7 minutes.

3.Add garlic, bell peppers, and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water; cook until peppers soften, 6 minutes. Add 3/4 cup pasta water and butter; swirl to combine.

4.Transfer to pot. Add arugula; season with salt and pepper. Toss; add more pasta water as desired. Serve.

The recipe was very easy I just changed a few things . Instead of adding the arugula i made a spinach and Roma tomato salad. Also instead of fresh garlic I used canned because i already had some and finally I didn't used course salt and pepper i just used table salt and pepper. Add your favorite bottle of wine great convo and a old movie and you have a cool dinner party that only cost you 20 bucks tops

Heres to you!!!!!!!

So i had a good go at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Today, as I'm sitting here with my muse I decided to make a better effort in actually bringing you something that Atlanta singles actually want to talk about. I have new features added to the blog, I will definitely add photo and website link so that you can see where I get all my inspiration........ Some of the features I'm adding will be....SAVVY SAMPLE, RECIPE OF THE MONTH, GETTING INVOLVED,FRUGAL FASHIONISTA and THE HOT NEW SPOT.
