HAPPY NEW YEAR....



Just wanted to share one of my FAVE songs, (below) since like 2007! Sure Thing! It comes from an Artist name Miguel and I've been hip to his music for a couple of years. I freakin' LOVE this song and it has been my ringtone for a verrrry long time. Miguel's debut album 'All I Want Is You' is available NOW.


Buy Miguel's Album Here: itunes

A MUST SEE: "Prince Among Slaves"...

"PRINCE AMONG SLAVES" By Andrea Kalin 




"Prince Among Slaves" is a historical documentary directed, written and produced by Andrea Kalin and narrated by Mos Def (love him!) made for PBS by Unity Productions Foundation and Spark Media.


Mos Def




The film retells the story of Abdulrahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori, a Prince from West Africa who was made a slave in the United States and freed 40 years later.




Although this film came out in 2006, I'm just now seeing this (smh)
 Better late than never, right?
I know if I didn't see this....then there is probably a whole bunch of people who haven't either.



PRESS PLAY, ENJOY, AND SHARE!

ASTROLOGY-INTRODUCTION

The Moon is in Aries Today....




I love Astrology. I'm not talking about those "daily horoscopes" that say for example, "You will meet your true love today, oh and you may find 20 dollars on the ground"

Side eye to those corny horoscopes, lol...

NO! That's fake. You can not "predict" or give a horoscope that is suppose to pertain to millions of people.  I am talking about REAL astrology. The first thing you need to know to understand REAL astrology is your SUN sign.

Your SUN sign: The Sun Sign is what people are usually familiar with. It basically is the position of the sun the time you were born. (Psst, I'm A Capricorn...Aquarius Cusp) :)<----Will talk about Cusp later...

Now that  you know your SUN sign, next set of information you need for your accurate astrology reading is time of birth and location.


OKAY! now it's time to put all that information together: Birth date/time/location
It's very important that you have ALL three to get the most accurate NATAL/BIRTH CHART(tells you what signs the planets were positioned in when you were born).

The best place to get your Natal/Birth chart FOR FREE is: www.cafeastrology.com

  • Click Free Calculations and Reports
  • Click on Free Astrology Reports
  • Then Click Birth Chart
  • Next it will ask for your NAME(don't have to put it, optional), your GENDER, and BIRTH DATE/TIME/LOCATION 
  • It also has a box you can check if you don't know exact Time birth
THAT'S IT!!!

A page will pop up with everything you need to know:

  • Sun Sign
  • Rising Sign
  • Moon
  • Jupiter
  • Venus
  • Mars
  • Uranus
  • Neptune
  • Lilith
  • Mercury
  • Saturn
I personally like Cafe Astrology's Birth/Natal Chart because it gives you description's of everything, so that you will understand better. (WARNING: It's a lot to READ, but it's SO worth it)


Annnnd TA-DA!!! There is your introduction to ASTROLOGY. I haven't really got into everything...this is just the basics. More info to come......


Will you be looking up your Natal Chart???

I say GO FOR IT!!! It's very enlightening...you might discover something about yourself you didn't know!

P.S: Don't be shy, tell me...what is your sign??? :)

Product Review (Hair)




CONAIR 2" Ceramic Straightner




Instant heat 60-second heat up with 25 heat settings
Uniform heat recovery system for consistent styling results




REVIEW: My Hair-Medium Coarse, Natural, Thick, Curly, and Waist Length.





                               





CONCLUSION:

 It Works GREAT! It has a good grip. I was able to do a lot of hair at once. It get's super hot, but not so hot that it burns your hair! The "Turbo" feature is my favorite! I would definitely recommend it!!!(Not to mention it only cost $25.00 dollars, Woo-hoo!)
