"Flyy or Bye" Tyra Banks

French Vogue celebrated their 90th Anniversary with a masquerade themed party and asked guest to come dressed accordingly.  This is what Tyra Banks came up with...

Apparently, she looked all around France for the perfect mask, but to no avail, thus leading her to make her own.
Here's what she said on her Twitter :"So, when I couldn't find a mask for FRENCH VOGUE 90th ANNIVERSARY Masquerade Party, I made my own!"

She sounds really proud of her self...
Oh, and she did her hair and makeup herself.
What do you guys think? "Flyy or Bye?"

Burrrr....Where's my (faux) Fur?

Summer is officially over and it's starting to get cool outside. I personally love this time of the year (along with Spring) mainly because of the colors associated with Fall, and the fact that I can wear all of my jackets and boots. Soon, Winter will sneak up on us and we don't want to get caught freezing out buns off, now do we? There are some things that just never go out of style in my book. Leopard print is number 1 and fur is number 2.

 OMGsh! I just love Gwen Stefani and almost everything she does. And this year she did not disappoint. For her Spring collection, she dazzled the crowd with bright, African and Caribbean inspired pieces.

"I know my parents love me..."

Some of the cast of "A Different World"
My all time favorite show is "A Different World" the spin-off of "The Cosby Show". I personally love that show because the cast looks like me, and face the same struggles that I have and speak about important topics in each show, all while being hilarious.

Men Lie, Women Lie

Why do men cheat? Excuse me, correction, why do people cheat? After sitting down and thinking long an hard about that question, the only reason I could come up with was selfishness.

Only a selfish person would put their own wants in front of their partners feelings. Only a selfish person would go out, and seek pleasure (or companionship, or whatever they're looking for) without thinking twice about the outcome of the situation.

I feel that rather than just cheating on someone, you should decide whether you can do without that person. If you can't, then DON'T DO IT. And if you can, at least have the decency to end the relationship before you end up hurting the person beyond repair.

But I forgot, they're selfish, so they will want their cake and eat it, too.

And after the truth comes to light (and the truth ALWAYS comes to light) they constantly lie. I feel that if you are bold enough to step out, then be man (or woman) enough to admit to it.

If you didn't put the pieces together yet, I've been in this situation before. Someone else came to me with the same situation as well and it just pissed me off to know that someone can be faithful for almost 4 years and the next person can't. But I see it as a lesson learned.
I'm just venting right now, but what do you guys think about liars and cheaters?

How to Save Yourself from being Stressed Out


Ok so lately I've been absolutely stressed out. For some reason I just feel like I have too much on my plate. So I sat down and thought about why I'm feeling stressed and how I can prevent feeling this way again.

1. Do Not Wait Until The Last Minute ..... for anything. Whether it's a class assignment or dropping a letter in the mailbox, doing this ahead of time will save you a lot of stress and will give you time to fix any problems that occur.

2. Do Not Take On More Than You Can Handle ..... don't do things for people because you want to be "nice" or you want to impress someone. Once there is too much on your plate, you won't be able to do anything right, and that is not impressive.

3. Breathe ..... sometimes you just have to take a chill pill. For those of us in school, after about a hour and a half of studying, take a 15 minute break, you will feel more alert once you start studying again. And for those who feel really stressed and tense just thinking about your job, take 5 minutes to just think about the good things going on in your life, and your mood will get a boost.

4. Pray.... Prayer, while some people don't believe in it really changes things. It lifts burdens off heavy hearts and allows you to talk one-on-one with The Creator. Say a quick prayer every morning giving thanks and the bad things won't seem so bad anymore.

5. Don't Think Your Problems aren't as Serious as other People's ..... when you start thinking that your issues are little compared to others, you tend to ignore them and they just grow bigger...which causes more stress. You can't be the problem solver for everyone so deal with yourself first.

6. Manage your Money .... because there is nothing worse than being 21 (or 31, or 61) with a whole bunch of credit card debt. As a student, credit cards seem like a simple way to get what you want, when you want it. but it's more complicated. If you don't have one and you don't need one, don't get one. Simple. If you have one (or more) try to pay them off every month, and start budgeting. Pay all bills (light, phone, water, credit cards, and any loans, including those from family and friends) before going shopping for things you want but don't need. Trust me, this will save you a lot of stress and give you more sleep time.


7. Exercise..... I don't really exercise (covers eyes with shame) but I've heard that it relieves stress. Hiking, biking, running, yoga, ballet, basketball, soccer...or just go to the gym. Also, dancing is a good way to get the blood pumping and get your mind off things. So grab your girls and turn on your favorite dance album.



8. Save the Drama.... when you have to deal with work, school, and children on an everyday, all day basis, drama is definitely not on the agenda. If you have friends that gossip all the time and have nothing going for them except drama, let them go. And if you are in a unhealthy relationship, let that person go as well. I know it's not easy (trust me, I know) but it's better in the long run. When you don't have to deal with he said/ she said drama or an unfaithful partner, your mind is free from stress which allows you to put positive energy into the things that matter.

So that was my list of things to keep you stress free. I hope it helped! Feel free to add!
