Do guys even try anymore? Social Networking is too easy...

Is it just me? Or when did facebook and social networking become the way to some instant booty for the night? I am often amused at the braveness of men behind the comfort of a computer screen... I'm sure I am not the only female who gets the ever so often "Hey" or "You cute" on your instant messenger. Or the ever so annoying "poke" on facebook. Wtf does a "poke" mean anyway...and why do some people poke you if your not even facebook friends? 0_o

Now don't get me wrong...I don't blame a brotha for trying...but my point is after "Hey" Ima need you to have something to say!!! And "Was gud?" or "What up" are not quite conversation starters. It seems if you are actually interested...you would say "How are you today" , "What are you doing this weekend" or somethin! Most guys who have hit me up have nothing more to say after "hey"...like seriously...dead air! And if you ask them a question they give you some vague answer as if you are prying into their business! lol I'm thinking...dude! You hit me up, and clearly want to talk to me! Now you have nothing to say? You need to do a whole lot more than chat with me on facebook to get my attention! And even more to keep it! *snaps fingers*
Just because I added you as a friend does not mean that I liked you! Are dudes really that simple until you don't look at anything else about that person but their profile picture? I mean do you look at their relationship status? their occupation? kids? siblings? friends in common? Anything!? If not...you should...you could probly stop wasting a lot of people's time including your own. I personally have a business so I normally add just about anyone. But I've come to be a little more selective lately...because of this foolishness! I even changed my relationship status to married (and no I'm not married) ...just to try and eliminate the irritation.
Point blank... I should be able to take a cute picture, and make myself available to clients and potential clients on fb chat...if I freakin want to! And not have to worry about some lame dude...hittin me up and having nothing to say! Facebook can be great for meeting people, finding people and networking...but the fellas are getting a bit out of hand with this. And to whoever the females are that this works on...please stop!!! You're just making it worse for all of us...you deserve more! ;) Smooches! ;-*

Our First Product Review...Naturally Me by Chaundra Smith

I had the pleasure of reviewing my first product here on my blog! I am so excited to share this info with everybody! I have enjoyed using these products over the past week!

Naturally Me has all natural, vegan certified products for your body, hair, home and pets!  Naturally Me's Website The owner Chaundra Smith sent me their awesome Foaming Facial Wash and a Sampler set of products that came in the cutest little package that you ever did see! ;)

I have been using the Face Wash for about 7 days now and have completely fallen in love with it! It creates a thick, rich foam which I love (I love a good lather! ;)! And its infused with essential oils like tea tree and coconut... I love the invigorating scent in the morning! (Don't I look invigorated! lol Don't tell anybody u saw me this early in the morning! Bonnet and errthang! lmao!) The organic ingredients are great for my acne prone and sensitive skin...and makes me feel squeaky clean after removing make up! Priced at 8.99... this is definitely a winner!

In my sampler set was the 

All Over Butter (Which is whipped and creamy and the smell is simply delicious!)

Soy Candle ( I could smell it before I even opened the box... I am addicted to candles!)

Soothing Foot Soak (

Joyful Foot Scrub (

Happy Hands Exfoliant(

I can't wait to try more of this product line! I was super impressed by every product I experienced! I love the genuity and spirit of small business owners! Mainstream product lines tend to loose touch with what made their products great in the first place. Replacing the once simple ingredients with synthetic ones...to make their product last longer or be produced faster. I hope Chaudra never changes a thing! ;)

Oldies but Goodies! :)

A lovely young lady wrote this poem for me a while back...and it truly touched me! One of the most valuable gifts I've ever received! I wanted to share it with my peeps :)

The Artist

Painting on flesh canvases.

A Nubian Picasso.

Brandishing brushes like swords and she goes to battle.

Art does not imitate life...it is life

And she breaths just that into the faces of women who swore that lipstick was the only thing they'd ever wear.

Because...

She is an artist.

Molding the lives of clients effortlessly.

She turns her swag on, then let’s them get they diva bag on

Then beats faces like Muhammad Ali

But this don't hurt well maybe just a little

But that's the cost of beauty right

She has won the battle; they've won the self esteem fight.

Walk fierce in to the light and tell the world who did the work.

The Face Dr.

Proctoring Exams and schools people in the progress.

It’s a process that she does with ease but it is a an art.

It IS…

She is flawless makeup art.

Impress yourself!

 These are just a few pics of some of my newer work...I was stunned when the photog said they were unretouched. That was a beautiful moment. Especially after all the emotional turmoil of New York... I really doubted myself and my artistry for a while. Whenever you put your art on the line to be critiqued...there will definitely be someone there who will not like it...and will absolutely tell you! lol

I believe there are definitely general rules to follow...but I continue to pride myself on individuality! As a true artist...none of our work should look the same. As long as I like what I did, and it fulfills something in my soul...no one else's opinion really matters. :)

So to look at your work...think its been altered because it looks that good...and then find out its just what you did. Wow! A beautiful thing! There's no better feeling than impressing yourself! :)

 Here are some of the un retouched photos...enjoy!
Kisses ;-*
