Retail Hell Vol. 2

Hello my little glamourettes.  I've missed you all so much. As always life has been hectic. Family issues, work issues, lol the only thing going good is school. 

But before I get to sentimental with my life LET ME TELL YOU! Haha I'm so dramatic.

Dumb asses is the topic of this post today. I had the biggest family of dumb ass thieves the other day. Lol so I'm changing face outs (the clothing that pops out at you on the wall) when this little girl directly asks her mother, "are you going to steal this for me?" 

ARE YOU SERIOUS? PEOPLE please stop coming to steal with your children. Because they turn into little thieves and then they create a record and can't get a job by the time they actually qualify for one. And then tax payers will be paying for them to sustain in society. If you gone be a thieving bitch then do you because honestly it's too late for you. If you 30 and stealing non-essential shit then I have no faith in you growing the fuck up. 

But anyways the lady & me met eyes and she knew that I knew that shit wasn't happening today. So she walked her thieving ass up to the register and paid for that shit. Funny is an understatement. I do not condone theivery and I furthermore don't condone dumbassness when you're doing it. 

Bonus story is of the cheapest hoe I've met in my 21 years of life (well except that woman who only let her man take like 2 minute showers & shit). So I'm watching my coworker check this woman out and she grabbed one of our $1.90 camis that used to code $1.80. So of course she finds one of the old marked camis and notices it rings up as $1.90. This broke ass hoe had a fit. Never mind the fact she's with her whole man who's looking on embarrassed as hell because the hoe is tripping over $0.10.  

She goes on to tell how she worked at Forever 21 & we can change the price in the system 😒😒😒 uh no bitch. Cheapisha then brings a $6.80 skirt up there and it rings up to … $5.90. Lmfao so I'm like so do you want us to upcharge you. Of course her dumb ass looked like 😕 a deer in fucking lights. Boyyyy I tell you. These customers are a piece of work. 

Retail Hell Vol. 1

Soooo was today come to the mall & show your ass day or something? Or maybe it was come to Forever 21 and act like you have the maturity of a 12 year old day? No, not it? Maybe it was … lol okay it doesn't matter what day it was but majority of my customers today have been really frucking reckless. 

Customer 1: First let me say she looks about 15 or 16 comes to purchase a $95 transaction but has her dad's credit card. Unfortunately we need the ID OF THE PERSON WHOSE CARD IT IS to accept credit. Basically she throws a bitch for calling the store and everything associated with it stupid. Well it wasn't that fuxking stupid when you were about to spend all your allowance here, was it little whore? Ughh why me? After asking if she could get a pin code or if she'd like me to hold them, she gave me the rudest, stalest answers.  But you know I always clap back so I had to kill her with kindness and dismiss her ass from my presence. 

Customer 2: She clearly was a fucking mute. Are you ready to check out? Nothing. Did you find everything okay? Nothing. But she surely could have a great conversation with the cashier next to me. I hate to play the race card but damn that's all I could figure it being. Why can't people realize that if you can't learn to live with us then bitch you need to build a spaceship and leave the fucking planet :-)

Customer 3-infinity: Lots of asshole jerks in all different shapes and sizes. 

But I'm still happy BECAUSE I am fabolous and I KNOW if I ever see them in the street I can (but I won't) kick that ass. 

Until next time lovelies … queen out!

Forgiven

Red rain. Ashy hollows. 

Tears of blood and unsound fears. 

Fucking bitch. Fucking cunt. 

Mislead children. Battle wounds. 

Empty hearts. Sacred tombs. 

Only I can make myself happy but the entire world is allowed to break me. 

You fucking bitch. Filthy …

Style of the Week

I got a new hurrstyleee y'all! Lol I finally tried out the jumbo dookie braid with Chinese bang that I've been dreaming about since I did the braid for my friend's birthday. I ran across some struggles as I did it. 

•Natural hair is not going to stay straight at all no matter what you do (unless you have one of those straightening kits) if you want to be on the chemical safe side. 

•Glueless bangs are hard but so worth it to me. I sewed my bang in even though it's going to be a short style because glue breaks my hair off instantly. I was the glue queen a few years back and every time I touch it, my hair gets hella choppy. So no bueno for the glue but it would've been much easier. 

•Shout out to the girls with nice, thick edges! Unfortunately I'm not one of them but I'm working on it (Jamacian castor oil) so I had to come up with a trick to make those look awesome which I'll share at a later time. 

But nevertheless I'm happy and I've gotten lots of compliments. Here's some pics 😊

Faking happiness fucking sucks. 

What Would You Do With a Million Dollars?

It all started with a question. One of the easiest questions to ever be asked to mankind. One of those questions that you were prepared to answer without a doubt. Unfortunately it wasn't the question that effected my life, it was the answer. That one answer shaped who I was, it changed who I hung around, it broke down boundaries within my daily life. It changed me for the better, that I'm sure. 

What would you do if you won a 100 million dollars? 

What would you do?

Me, myself I came up with the greatest plan in 2.4 seconds. I instantly wanted to invest millions into a non profit that I had never even thought about another day of life. 

Rehabbing foster homes. Group homes. Orphanages. Not only do I want to rehab these places but I want to fully restructure the practices and inter workings of such places. I know fully that children are our future and to cultivate their minds is the greatest contribution I can make to that future. 

So on top of all the shopping and vacationing I'd do, I have a real dream for 100 million dollars that would benefit thousands of others & the inner most part of me. 

So my question to you tonight is what would you do if you won 100 million dollars? 

And wish me luck, because that's my plan whether I win that money or not. 

From the Misunderstood

I'm so complex that I find it hard to honestly explain anything about myself. I know people won't understand, and with misunderstanding comes judgement. I feel like I'm transitioning from one stage to another but I don't even know what these stages are. *sigh* damn this sucks. 

I've been seeing a lot and not saying enough …

I just feel like people be looking for the wrong things in people & that's why they end up screwed. Just step back & take a minute to learn yourself. Learn what makes you happy & what makes life so much more worth living to you. Instead of looking for someone who'll help you stay financially stable, look for someone who makes you feel secure and stable within yourself and your relationship. Instead of looking for someone who would make nice looking kids with you, look for someone who you KNOW will be a great parent because of what you've seen from them. Instead of being with someone who makes you look good, be with someone who takes you from your worst day to your best day in a matter of seconds.  I promise you all that at the end of the day none of the materialistic things matter.  After one storm, all that can be gone. And if you're not there with someone you can start over with and build with, you have nothing. I'm not saying financial stability is not important but that's a factor outside of what love really is. Just take a second and think of the person who makes you the happiest, could any materialistic thing change how you feel about that person? I didn't think so. When you meet the one who makes you feel like that, don't lose them. 

Unfinished Poetry Vol. 1

So I'm always starting something and not finishing. That's my bad habit and I'm owninggg it lol. I do that a lot especially when it comes to my writing. I call that writers block. So I present to you the unfinished series ❤️

The last thing I'd ever want to be is a wise old fool

It's like earning your diploma but staying in school
To travel through all the lessons & relive the results more than once
To fall and bounce back up just to live my life with a permanent slump
I'd hate that

Unfortunately no one's exempt from life's many lessons
For those lessons are the gift wrap to life's much wanted blessings. 
We've been taught since the ages of 3 and 4 the purpose of a lesson is to learn
And from learning we grow
And you grow until you're grown
But we were never told how long

It seems as if people have gotten used to speeding through life
And then wondering why nothing's going right

Learning takes time and learning the right way takes even longer

You have to hurt a few times because pain makes you stronger

They'll be tears and anger along with some friends who didn't make it

And they'll be happiness and joy and that one person who you don't have to fake it

Coming soon . . .

I never thought following my dreams would be so hard.
So time consuming, so stressful.
I guess if it's not hard, then it's not worth it.

Couturekings.com coming soon.
Spread the word.

Birthday Blessings

Hey everyone:

As some of you may know, some of you may not, my birthday was Wednesday the 22nd.  I finally turned 21 *does money dance*.  I don't think you all know how life changing this is, I can finally go to Chilis and order a margarita.  But yeah the real fun is coming this weekend when I go toss some dollas at some strippers.  But this post is short and simple.  I'll do a photo post when I get home or something.


Adios!

Just A Little Shxt Talking

Yesterday I went IN on Instagram because so many people think they're keeping it "real" but they're just sending off the masses.  This is just a little portion of what I was talking about yesterday.

We all like to think our children will be fine with just one parent.
That's not true.
It doesn't matter how phenomenal you are as a parent or if you have a little boy or girl.  EVERY child needs a mother and father figure.
There are just simply some lessons that one parent is not feminized or masculine enough to teach.
There will always be a void missing in that child's life.

So PLEASE invest in birth control, invest in strong, healthy MARRIAGES, and please invest in yourself because you ultimately choose what type of relationship and predicament you will have your child in.

In My Absence ...

First I would like to start with I'm sooo sorry.  I feel awfully horrible that I made a promise to you all and myself & I completely broke.  I hate to come with excuses because I feel like that's all everyone is offered now-a-days so I'll keep them to myself.  It's just been a hectic couple of weeks.

So I'll update you with what I've been doing.

1. School started last week so I'm taking four classes this semester.  Spanish 2, Sub-Saharan Africa studies, Sociology, and Statistics.  Funny how all of those start with a S lol ;-).  But those have been taking a lot of my time, more than I expected actually.

2. My online boutique is making underground moves.  I have found suppliers & one of my super talented coworkers told me she'd help me with the graphics & photography when needed.  I don't think anyone knows how much of a relief that is to me.  So this baby will definitely be launching soon.

3. I started a new piece which is deeply rooted to my recent emotional state so I'll be publishing that hopefully one day this week.  I love sharing bits and pieces of me with you all.  It's not like I enjoy talking to the actual people I go through life with about stuff like that (weird right?).

4. Mini haul video has definitely been filmed so I'm in the editing process of that.  Hopefully I can stop being so distracted and finish it up.

5. I've been getting fat :-( yeah lately I've been eating ALL the wrong things.  So there will definitely be tons of fitness posts coming because I'd love to be tight and right by spring break.

That's about it everyone. Ohhh yeah! My birthday is in 2 days, I'll be 21.  And I just don't feel any excitement at all.  I'm trying to own it as being awesome but I'm not so sure it will be.  But not to spread my negativity, I'll leave you all with a quote for the week

"I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing" -Agatha Christie

Quotetastic ;-)

"Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength"

So I've been rocking with this quote all month (I sounded cool right?) due to my hectic office job.  I have encountered soooo many rude people.  It almost seems second nature for people to be rude instead of nice.   So I've been using these words as a wooo-sah when I encounter these folks.

But today is a short post.  I'll post my super plain outfit as well.

Crop Top; Wet Seal - one of my fave crop tops.

Cardigan; Old Navy - I actually hate this cardigan lol because it's so big!

Jeans; TJ Maxx - like 5 or 6 years ago (it's one of my DIY projects)

Bangles - Forever 21 - one of those $4 black deals during the holidays :-)

Headband; Claires

What Would You Do? Vol.1

So today I really wasn't going to post.  It's just been a very bad day.  I've been trying to remember all the positive quotes I've read and even all the positivity I tend to spew on to other people.  But its been hard.  Sometimes I just find myself in places of darkness and I just don't know where to go.  It's like being trapped in the dark and any way that you go you just can'd find light.  Surely that light will come shining soon but for now I'll keep the extreme darkness to a minimum.

But now back to the segment at hand.  I made this a segment because I alwaayssss think of what would you do questions just during everyday life.  Some funny, others more serious.  And instead of me thinking them and letting them go extinct, I'm going to start to share some with you all.

Today's question came from a conversation I overheard on the bus to work.  Yes, I was being nosey but damn it they were being so loud behind me.  They were interrupting my daily dose of my dad Fab's (LOL) mixtape, Soul Tape Vol. 3.  Yes that's my shit yall! <-- and that was in my most ratchet voice.  But yes! This question came straight from their conversation.

If you were on the straight and narrow path & had a job, was in school, and with a nice relationship.But you just hung with people leading dangerous lives (selling drugs, gangbanging, and what ever else they wanna do).  So one night you're with your homie in his car and you all get pulled over and he has a gun in the car, which is illegal of course.  Would you let them know that's your homie's gun so you won't get in trouble or would you keep the honor of the streets and take the fall with him?

What would you do?  I wondered also while thinking about the situation, why wouldn't his "friend" just admit it's his?  What type of honor and loyalty is that?

But on to other things, here comes photos of my relaxed look.

                 

 

Sweater; Forever 21 : I love this sweater, it is so soft & lightweight but keeps me very warm.  I've been told I look nice in white.

Leggings; Forever 21: I work here so I had to get the $3.80 leggings and they're durable.

Boots; Qupid : My favorite boots :-) they're my babies.

Earlace; Claire's I believe or Wet Seal.  It was like 6 months ago -- I have bad memory lol.

Stay blessed everyone.

Vlogging

Hello all,

So I forgot to tell you all some other news.  I'm going to add a vlogging aspect to the blog for some sections as well.  Like I have a mini haul coming up & I'll be vlogging that for you all!!! Is anyone as excited as I am for this? Lol probably not.  The only downside is I'll be using my shitty webcam until I can afford a better camera.  So I won't be on the level as the almighty Youtube gurus but I will still be me :-) if that makes it any better.  I'm going to post the link to my Youtube channel which should be empty but it'll be filling up soon.

I'll also let you all see my warm, cute outfit of the day.  It's nothing special at all seeing as I got ready in like 30 minutes this morning.  This cold got me feeling some type of way lol.  Honestly I would like to punch whoever created the snooze button because it is indeed my guilty pleasure . . . .

But here's the link people . . . https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrOZ2smAZg63EGRLBzH4bRA/

And a few photos before I leave you :-)

Jeans; DIY project from my highschool days, I'm now in my third year of college lol.

Crop sweater; Forever 21

Belt; very old (that's all I can say)

Boots; Qupid - I got them from zooshoo.com

Yes I am a bathroom model lol ;-)

New Start

Greetings everyone,

I know it's been a loonnnggg time since I've last reached out to everyone on here.  I think I was just in a stage of funk for a while.  But as we all should know, being in such negative times should bring tons of positivity once they're over.  And I have had so many positive ideas spring from within myself in the last month or two.

Firstly, I've made a promise to my baby (my blog), myself, and all of you that I will blog everyday.  Yes I said it, EVERYDAY.  Lol now I know that's hard to believe by looking at the gaps in the timeline but I've realized that when you really love something you will make time for it.  And there's an unbreakable bond between me, my baby, and my readers.  So that's that . . . but there's more.

Fashion!!!! I will focusing on fashion more in my blog as well with haul threads & occasional outfit of the day posts.  What can I say? I love fashion & all it has to offer.  I will be starting this journey with a pretty shitty camera though so please don't judge me.  And this new part will make sure I stay on top of my posting game.

Also, I'm starting an online boutique with my cousin Kaprice soon.  We've named it Couture Kings, which I loveee.  So everyone be on the look out for that.  And I'll be updating everyone with that too as we make these steps to entrepreneurship.  Come on black women, lets empower each other!

Lastly, I'm on this big health kick right now because I really want to slim down a bit more.  So there'l probably be some exercise or healthy eating posts mixed up in here as well as me complaining lbs.  I hate dieting & exercising but if I don't I'll be as big as a house lol. I just weighed myself yesterday and I'm a whooping 153 lbs.  I guess I carry it well but I'm ready to tone everything up so I can model some of my own clothes :-)

But to leave you all, I'll show some pictures of me celebrating my New Year's Eve.  I hope this year is as great for everyone as I'm OWNING it to be for me.  I love you all.  And don't forget to say a prayer for all of those without homes in this frigid weather outside.  May they find the warmth & shelter that need.

Me on New Years Eve

Me and my best friend Scarlett

Not New Years Eve but a closer look at my new blue hair!
