Long Time No Hear

Hello,

I'm back after taking a bit of a hiatus. I have had quite a few things happen in my personal life that have kept me away form blogging. I am glad to be back. I hope everyone is well ,and that those of my subscribers living in the US had a great time with friends and family for Thanksgiving.

Man Problems

Ok, I am writing this post to vent. I am thoroughly disturb by the number of women going through mind blowing circumstances with men. Instinctively when we hear of these relationship horror stories we want to blame men, and jump on the " All men are dogs" band wagon, but this simply is not true. Not saying that men are perfect, and some how have no issues of their own to deal with, but it is high time us women start taking responsibility for the way that we are treated. There are good men, and great men even, looking for good women to wife up. Number 1 : Ladies get some standards and stick to them, Number 2: Keep your legs closed, there is just no way he's going to respect you and take you seriously if you are easy. In the words of Miss More Roses from Black Women Who Want More group, being Easy is EASY, try doing what's hard for a change.  Believe it or not, a man who loves you will wait for sex PERIOD. Keeping you legs closed is the BEST way to weed out the pretenders from the contenders for your heart. Try connecting with a man's heart, mind, and soul, instead of his penis right off the bat. Try attracting a man with your awesome personality and sense of humor, instead of your breasts and thighs. Now in today's society that's HARD. Again STOP BEING EASY!!!

 Stop over functioning and doing TOO much too soon, for someone you barely know. Love on yourself, and get your own self-esteem up before trying to go after a man, then looking to him to validate your own existence and SPECIAL-ness. Please don't chase men, if a man wants you he will hunt you down and pursue you. Even the animal kingdom demonstrates this, the male species always has to fight, dance, or flutter around in order to win mating rites with the female species. I really want to see my sisters in humanity reclaim their sacred sexuality and femininity.

If you need some help getting started on the road less traveled, and being considered a goddess instead getting treated like crap then finding yourself with the same jerk in a different shirt, I am going to recommend some required reading. Of course you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. You make the choice, what's it going to be. For myself, I'm choosing goddess status.

The Following books will enlighten you and get your mind straight, if you don't learn from this, then sadly, you will never learn, and you may just find yourself, a heart broken 50-60 year old women, bitter and worn out from destructive relationships. These books helped change my entire life!!

2.  Why Men Love Bitches

Pre-Ramadan Body Makeover Challenge

Today is the start of the Pre-Ramadan Body Makeover Challenge. This is a 90 day challenge to get your mind, body, and spirit right before Ramadan, insha Allah. I started this challenge, because I know what a toll  Ramadan can take on the body, and also can stall weight loss goals, if proper preparation is not made. This is also a time to focus on making up fast days, and getting the mind geared for the reason for Ramadan anyways, which is to please Allah SWT, but also for us to receive blessings, and bless others, insha Allah.

Sister Zainab Ismail, fitness and nutrition director of Nadoona, gave a wonderful talk on our Blog Talk Radio Show all about diet & exercise. She laid an excellent foundation to get started on this 90 day challenge. If you missed this talk, then PLEASE go and listen to it  before starting the 90 day fitness challenge. Also if you want more personal 1-on-1 help from Sister Zainab, please go to Nadoona website to enlist her professional services.

Spring Fashion Trends 2012

Wow, I can't believe we are actually a few months away from springtime. I'm even more excited about the spring fashion that is soon to hit stores. This spring is all about fun, bright, and bold colors. Feminine silhouettes, and flowy fabrics. Color blocking  isn' going anywhere, and you can pull this look off by finding shades of bright pastels and neon colors that flatter your skin tone. Afrocentric tribal prints will have a strong influence on spring fashion and mixing these prints with stripes and/ or polka dots will be sooo in style.

Accessorizing will also follow the same suit. Colors, big funky chunky bracelets and earrings. Over sized clutch purses in bright pastels and funky prints are going to be a must have.

Spring 2012 beauty trends will be about girly color eye shadows, bright lip color, and of course healthy skin never goes out of style. When hitting the salon or spa for your manicure & pedicure, the look will be about the funky color french. Say bye bye to the traditional pink & white french mani and get cray with color!!

I posted some fashion eye candy for you all to enjoy. If you try any of these trends, please take pics o be featured here on the blog. As always keep it, fun, feminine, colorful, and modest for Spring 2012!!

Kim Kardashian in An Abaya!!!!!

Yes, I know I'm probably UBER LATE, but I have to admit my jaw hit the floor when I saw photos of
Kim K and her mom vacationing in Dubai. Kim K looked gorgeous and so did her mom as they were seen rocking both an abayas and caftans. Take a look for yourself. I think she looked sooo much more beautiful and queenly, covered than she does showing off her goodies. What do you think?
