Thoughts of a Diva

If the world were a perfect place and my book fell into the right hands and they loved it and wanted to turn it into a BIG budget film; well, here are my demands. Here is the imaginary cast to the imaginary film: Man Trouble - The Movie.  ' Sanaa Lathan as Sylvia Nia Long as Patricia  Gabrielle Union as Valerie Keke Palmer as Simone Amber Riley as Kenya Jackie Long as Ellis Drake as John Jason Weaver as Kenya's Boyfriend/John's Friend Lauren London as CHarle's Mistress Wesley Jonothan as Patricia's Booty Call Mehki Phiffer as Charles Michael B. Jordan as James T.I. as James Jr.  O'Shea Jackson as Marcus Justin Beiber as 'White Boy' Pooch Hall as Kenya's Abuser Taquan Richards as Dre So there you have it! What do you think?

So I was working on a crochet infinity scarf when one of my co-workers asked if I would teach her to crochet. Of course, I said YES! So that somehow turned into a group/staff crochet project. Some of the after school kids saw us crocheting and decided that they wanted to learn so now I have a crochet club! And I'm overjoyed about it! Anyway, some people are working on afghans and some are working on scarves. I"m working on n a blanket using 5 skeins of yarn that I've had for about 10 years now....5 won't be enough for the entire thing so I had to match up and purchase 2 skeins of coordinated colors. My original yarn is a multi-color so it wasn't too hard to find matching yarn since I have about 5 colors to choose from. Anyway, below are pics of what I've done so far. We started March 1st and I'm so excited about it! I'll keep you guys posted on my progress.  FYI: crocheting is so relaxing for me. Do any of you guys craft? If so what is your go to cra...

So I purchased some black soap from YER OWN SKIN last month and I started using it this morning. Here's my "before" face. I have some discoloration from past acne and even after using prescription face creams, my skin is still not as smooth as I want it to be. I'm going document my journey here on my blog. #StayTuned .

Hey y’all! I really hope that 2016 has been good to you thus far. I haven’t posted in FOREVER. I’ve let time get away from me, but writing is my relaxation and I vow to relax more often. So Anyway – let me jump right into my first post of 2016 and my first post in a looooooong ass time! So….I have a boo. Yea, yea more on that in a future post. But let me tell you guys dating is already scary but dating with kids is super scary because it’s not just my life that I might be messing up. So I’m not going to sit her and lie and say that I took all of these things into account before I started my current relationship but these things have been on my list of ‘must haves’ for a while. Back up back up, now I haven’t dated in FOREVER! I haven’t been in a relationship since 2003. Listen, believe what I tell you and ignore the fact that I have a 9-year-old son. Ha, that too is yet another post. (He was created in the beginnings of a relationship reboot that didn’t fully reboot due to lies and o...

Let me let you guys in on a little secret. I actually like Fetty Wap. No his songs don't make much sense but they are fun and sometimes I just want to have fun. This new 679 is my JAM! I also like and even There now. Do you like any ratchet songs?

10 Things I learned when I spent 10 consecutive days in a row away from work. 1. My job is stressing me out. I LOVE my job. I never want that to be misconstrued but it is indeed stressing me out. I think I need to figure out how to diffuse some of the problems I encounter before they happen. I don't even know if that's possible but there are so many non-job related issues that I just can't deal. 2. I like to sleep. Daytime naps are completely underrated and should be mandatory at work. Ideally I would like to have a job that I could do at home during the wee hours of the night and sleep to the day. 3. Wine in the daytime is AWESOME! 4. I want to be able to enjoy spontaneous day trips with my kiddos. I wanted to do so many things with them during those days off but I was so unbelievably tired that All I did was sleep. I felt horrible but this brings me to .... 5. Kids don't care what you do with them they just want to spend time with you. We had the most ama...
