Dear blog,

Dear blog,

i've been thinking a lot about relationships. About the positive and negative aspects, and whether some relationships even deserve the dedicated time. I've been feeling like the expectations for relationships are getting lower and lower. Do men now a days even know what "dates" entail? ........i find this to be an accurate example of a date: anyplace outside the bedroom, and house.

with all of these different observations drawn, i decided that we as women, need to step up. A wise man once told me..." men only do what they are allowed to do." If we allow them to treat us a certain way, they are. plain and simple.

....honestly

i realized that i have taken the route of protecting myself by talking to as many boys as i can. Thats a true confession. Is it healthy or not? who is to say. Forgetting names and calling one by the other by accident can get pretty tiresome. And OLD..thats it! the games are getting old!
but do you ever feel like you just HAVE to play the game, because trusting one will result in too much damage. Maybe i need advice this time.

Sincerely,

Nikki B

--OBAMA IS IN THE HOUSEEEE--

yes yall! we have welcomed the first African American president EVER and what means the most is that i was there in Washington, DC to experience it.

Two days before innauguration myself along with hundreds of thousands of other people from around the world, crowded around the lincoln memorial to honor Obama. It was amazing! It felt like everyone was so united, and for once i was so proud to be an American.

Michelle looked gorgeous of course and when Obama spoke all you saw was tears and people going crazy!!

Possibly the best experience of my life and i cant wait to share it with my grandchildren....

Wow!

WOW! so if yall watch despserate housewives of ATL as religiously as I do, then you NEED to know that Deshawn Snow [ to the far right] has been kicked off the show and get this.......

but yooooooooo this is my show!! Usher on Housewives of ATL will be bomb! and his new baby :)

5 Times you shouldnt text him. ( According to Cosmopolitan )

1. After your first few dates
It may be tempting to contact a guy after an amazing date, but resist the urge.
Reaching out lessens the thrill of the chase.
2. When your drunk
Since phones dont come with breathalyzers, its up to you to stop yourself from sending a tipsy message--especially one that suggests you two meet up asap. Being too available lets a guy know that he has all the leverage.
3. When you're angry
It's annoying when a guy flakes, but sending a "Why haven't you called me?!" inquiry makes you look massively insecure. Avoid angry texts once you're in a relationship too. "When it's in writing, you can't easily take it back," Kirschner says. It's even smart to ban bitchy humor, which can sound meaner than it is.
4. When you've already texted him that day.
Once you're in an ongoing relationship, you may be tempted to rely on texting as a regular form of communication, and there's nothing wrong with staying in touch that way sometimes. But electronic communication discourages phone conversations and one-on-one time. Also, guys like brief updates, not a blow-by-blow of your life.

Daily Affirmation: Friendships.

So i used to send my friends daily affirmations to help them through the day, and apparently the feedbacks were great. Now i get to share with you guys!


Friendships, Friendships, Friendships. Can they not be the most annoyingest relationships in the world? Meeting new people is always good, and developing friendships can truly be beneficial as it can provide you with someone to be there for you. But on the hand, girl friendships can be the ANTI CHRIST sometimes. We are often stuck in situations where we are forced to understand each others personalities and then accept certain shit because we " know them." whooof!
Then often times you take on the issues with jealousy, and betrayal. So my whole attitude for the new year, and should be yours as well, is to " do you" first. Put yourself first this year. Take time to work out, eat right, go to the spa, have personal time. Its not bad to be alone sometimes. I think thats the issue. In friendships we depend on each other alot. We depend on that person to be there if we decide to take spontaneous ventures, be honest but then adjust the words in a way that doesnt hurt us, and most importantly we depend on them to be "dependable."
......so as you prosper in your individual friendships just remember to take time for yourself. It doesnt hurt anyones feelings if you say "no" to going out one night or so. Its your life, so be happy !

classic love.

"Beyonce and Jay-z"
In my eyes, they are amongst the most powerful couples of today. Jay being my favorite in the hip hop industry and beyonce, my favorite R&B artist, it seems noone can take on this couple. They are in every way the "dream" pair. Wealthy, beautiful, and real. I mean 5 years of dating? This has to be a classic love.



" Kourtney Kardashian and scott"
So im a big kardashian fan. I think all the girls are FUCKING fabulous, but Kourtney in particular is the "bomb" in my eyes. If you ever watch the show " keeping up with the kardashians," you can clearly see the relationship between she and scott and its simply ADORABLE. idk its something about the realness and not the over the top cheesy lovey dovey shit that makes me fall in love with them as a couple.

classic love poems.

The Odyssey:

letters to the immortal beloved.

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us ...

Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits ...

No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves ... Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men ...

My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once ...

Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

Ever thine,

Ever mine,

Ever ours.


To Be One With Each Other” by George Eliot

What greater thing is there for two human souls
than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen
each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow,
to share with each other in all gladness,
to be one with each other in the
silent unspoken memories?

[ the come up ] 2008-2009

Aubrey Graham, as you may know Jimmy from " Degrassi" is definately on the come up.
His shit is fire, and his flow is crazy.
His sound is real laid back and lupe type.
" Brand new," and " Man of the year " and other tracks prove that Drake will definately make it and can only get bigger in the 09.
certain.
look out for him!

Dark hair is Boss.

<. they prove that dark brown hair can look stunning.

understand. you can NEVER go wrong with dark brown hair. . . .









" nu nu" can rock anything and look baddd, but her dark brown hair accentuates all of her features and gives her a clean and sexy look.

Get to know Leighton Meester

Ladies, get to know Leighton Meester. After following the attractive show, Gossip Girl, i immediately started noticing her. Not only does her attitude give her a diva quality, but her style is one to idolize. She is soo fabulous! and her headdbands are ALWAYS. i repeat. ALWAYS to die for!

. Fierce.

So i just thought that this was one of beyonce's best looks.
Of course beyonce is known for her ultra sexy style but the all black looks **fab** on her.
-- there is something gorgeous about all black. its confident, yet secretive. Bold and very fierce.
I love the way she dressed it up with the variety of necklaces and the belt.
..if she could have only left the gloves in the purse.

if there was such a thing as "perfect"

What girl doesn't love sex and the city?
Is it the witty conversations between four fabulous girlfriends or the "ughh, i want that" style.

-- carrie is simply fabulous.
In the movie this outfit was definately one to catch the staring eye. she wore it soo perfectly.
The cut out back and the black belt madeee this dress soo classy and fab. no other words.
**amazing from the front to back.
