M-I-A

I know I've been missing in action for a while, but I'm still here. I'm attending school online and getting back into Cosmetology. maybe I can aspire you to follow your dreams,too. I gave it up for a while, but it is my true passion. Ever since I have decided to get back into it, I feel a renewed spirit inside of me. So, tell me about your true passion. Are you passionate about something in your life? I'd love to hear about it!

Do you live with your grandparents?

Do you live in a blended,multi-generational family unit? Better yet,do you know what it is? Well, living in a blended family includes living with your parents and youur grandparents, in the same house. At this time in our society, a lot of people live like this. The reason's can be anything from financial, illness,or a number of things. But, the fact of the matter is,that your parent's are still in charge of you. They have the final say-so in what goes on with you. You shouldn't go to your grandparents about something just because you think your mom or dad is going to say no. I'm pretty sure they have a valid reason for telling you no. I'm a parent, and I don't like telling my kids no, but sometimes it's the best answer.
Now, what are your thoughts on this topic? I'd love to hear your opinion! So, drop me a line or two, or three,lol.

Top colleges and companies look for diversity in people. You should be open to learning new interests,even if they aren't your norm.

So, whatever style is yours, Ghetto-fabulous or Smart n' Sassy, be you but be willing to grow and learn. No one knows what the future may hold for them.

5 Spring Break Safety Tips

I know by now you are either on your spring break, or finishing it up this week. And maybe some of you hadn't began yours yet. Well, anyway, I hope you remember to keep yourselves safe as you hang out with your friends and family. Remember to stay in groups, even when walking around the corner. You never know who's lurking around the corner, looking for a p.y.t.. Their are some sick people out there, girls! Now matter how GROWN you may be, ALWAYS BEWARE OF STRANGERS!!!

Remember these simple rules when you see a stranger:


1. When someone calls out to you and you don't know them, keep walking.

2. Don't take shortcuts, or walk through hidden paths by yourself.

3. Instead of stopping to help a stranger, use your cell phone and call 911 first, they could be faking it.

4.Never,ever,ever,ever,ever ask for a ride from a stranger.

5. Remember when at a party, let your girls know when you are leaving the area, come up with some sort of code word.

Sexting, may become a federal offense

Ok, I know just about everybody's doing it, right? Well did you know you may catch a charge for it. If you are caught sexting, you could be charged with child pornography if one of you is a minor. So,while it may be cool, it's not worth getting locked up for. Young women and young men need to keep their body's private. First of all, not trying to come down on yall, but you don't need to be showing everybody your business. Once that picture is taken, the whole world can get a hold of it. So think twice about sexting, and who you may be sexting to.Remember you can possibly get a charge for it. I'll continue to stay up to date on the sexting laws. Remember,if you have abny questions feel free to join the site and ask me anything.

Mother/daughter Relationship Tips

1. Maintain an open line of communication.Allow your daughters to communicate with you as openly as possible.

2. Respect goes both ways. Respect is due to parents from the get-go, but, mother's make sure that you're not doing anything disrespectful to yourself, especially around your daughter.Our daughters learn about self-respect, and respect for others from us.

3. We are all individuals. We don't have to like the same things or have the same goals in life.Each of us are unique,and we should embrace that with our daughters.
