Who Run the World? Well apparently, Girls do!

Funny story: So last night, I turned on my tv to channel 7 looking for Desperate Housewives (which ended last week, no one gave me the memo!) but ended up catching the very beginning of Beyonce performing "Run The World" on the Billboard Awards which I had NO IDEA was on in the first place. (I don't keep up with awards shows anymore, not since high school.) So I ended up watching and I have to give B her props. The performance was SICK!!! I was so impressed! I couldn't even take my eyes off of it for one second.

I wasn't a big fan of the song itself when it came out but I do love the concept of enstilling this sense of empowerment in women/girls. I think that we could all use some more of that in this world, whether we are confident and cocky or struggling with self esteem. I admit that in my life I've struggled with self-esteem especially as a teenager. I think if Beyonce was singing this song back then, it might have helped even just a little bit.

Great job to B and other female artists (like my favorite, Christina Aguilera) who are always singing/speaking about the power of women!

Thanks for reading!

"Love me or Leave me, Just take it or Leave it...."

Me, Fresh faced and Make-up free

Ladies this one is for you...
I am guilty of having this thought---> 'He (whomever he may be) cannot see me without my make-up on or my hair 'did'!" and I'm also guilty of saying this---> "No, you can't come over now, I need at least an hour to get ready" I think we've all had these thoughts when it comes to our romantic relationships. Today I kind of realized just how silly it all is. I know someone who emailed a person she's newly dating a picture of herself without makeup so that he could, quote, "know what he was getting himself into." But now she's worried because she hasn't heard back from him yet and she fears she may have scared him off.

Now here's my problem with that scenario; why does he need a preview? Why even give him a reason to reject you or walk away? Why put him through a "test"? It will happen eventually; that guy you're seeing now WILL eventually see you not looking your best. I say, just let fate take over and wait for the actual moment to happen before you force it. And besides, why do we women do these things when Men will fart, burp, spit in front of us, hang their guts freely over their bellies and scratch their crotches without batting an eye?

Just something to think about. Thanks for reading!
