Nor is it just for Lovers!!! On Valentines Day I always send out cute lil valentines Day cards to all my friends...why??? Because I love them thats why. I could give 2 rats ass that its for Lovers, fuck Lovers! Thats all cute, but what about the rest of us who do not have Lovers or that special someone? What we are not worthy? FUCK that, I celebrate Valentines Day for my and my lovely friends! We usually go to dinner, go to a movie, and have plenty of alcohol!<br />
<br />
So if you are single this year, who cares! Put on your fliest dress, your highest heels and go ahead and make reservations at a restaurant or go ahead and go watch that movie with a friend! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU BC YOU DO NOT HAVE A VALENTINE!!!!!!! It is a Hallmark Holiday anyway! <br />
<br />
If you do decide to spend it alone and shutting yourself out from the rest of the world...here are a few suggestions: <br />
<ul><li>light lots of candles</li>
<li>order your favorite take out</li>
<li>take a delisious bubble bath</li>
<li>put on some Sade</li>
<li>put on your sexy pjs </li>
<li>sip on Champagne w strawberries</li>
</ul>Seriously ladies, no need to be sad or depressed on this day! It happens to the best of it, the key is how you deal with it. I say grab it by the balls and don't take the loneliness! You are loved and a man will only enhance that, not complete you! Let thsi day be about loving yourself! Do something that mkaes you feel good! Here are some other suggestions to get thru this "Holiday":<br />
<ul><li>Mani/pedi</li>

</div>A major earthquake struck southern Haiti on Tuesday, inflicting a catastrophe on the impoverished Caribbean nation. The earthquake struck on January 12, 2010 at 4:53 p.m and the 7.0 magnitude quake's epicenter hit just 10 miles west of Porte-au-Prince and its 2 million inhabitants. Over 3 million people are in need of emergency aid after the earthquake.<br />
<br />
The Red Cross dispatched a relief team from Geneva and the UN's World Food Program is flying in two planes with emergency food aid and the Inter-American Development Bank said it was immediately approving a $200,000 grant for emergency aid.<br />
<br />
More than 100,000 dead in quake, Haiti's prime minister tells CNN and the numbers are expected to rise as volunteers and the Red Cross continue to pull people out of rubles.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I am of Dominican decent and have traveled to Haiti on many occasions, it is a beautiful country with even more beautiful people who are strong willed, hard workers and will rise above this catastrophe, but they will not do so without the help of the US and the rest of the world. Please I beg you to keep in close contact with your local community leaders and churches who will be making donations to Haiti and sending help. It is times like this that we must all come together to help those in need. Below are some websites that you can go on get further information, donate money, your time and supplies for our Haitian community. My heart goes out to Haiti and its beautiful people, God Bless them and please keep them in your prayers.<br />

So far I've lost about 4 lbs. Very proud of myself, but I am also making a lifestyle change, so eating healthier and and working out are just the first step. I have to keep myself motivated because I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">don't</span> want to become bored or even loose the stamina <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">I have </span>right now to loose the weight.</li><li><em>Travel more.</em> Simple and straight to the point. I have been fortunate enough to do quite a bit of traveling, and I am not talking about going to Miami or Vegas(which by the way I have never been to Vegas and have no desire to do so) I have traveled to Europe(which is where I eventually would love to live, preferably London) I have done France, UK, Italy, Lebanon, Greece (and 10 islands in Greece), Turkey(another favorite City of mine is Istanbul), Spain(another favorite and where my lil sister lived for 2 yrs) Portugal (which I found quite boring but beautiful architecture). I've also done the usual Caribean Islands, but as I get older I find myself wanting to experince more than just laying on the beach with a tropical drink in hand. I want to see the way people in other countries live, the way they eat, the culture(you get the idea). Don't get me wrong I do love to sit my ass on a gorgeous beach tan all day and get drunk on the beach. On my list of places that I would like to get to this year: Australia, Amsterdam, Brazil, Argentina, & Chile. I haven't visited South America and look forward to doing so.</li><li><em>Buy property. </em>Can't stress enough how important it is for a young woman to have her finances in order including having property in her name, not as a co signer or 2nd owner but a property that has your name and your name only. This year I am striving to buy a condo.</li><li><em>Leave NYC.</em> I know, how can I want to leave this wonderful City? I was born and raised here, this is where my friends and family are! This City has given me everything I have ever wanted, but its time to move on and live a slower pace of live, a different life where I am not on the subway for 3 hrs a day getting to and from work or paying high rents for the little space you get in this City. don't worry Babies, I will nto be going to far (at least not yet anyway). Maybe Connecticut or Jersey? We'll see.</li><li><em>Continue my education</em>. When I say continue my education I mean taking classes in things I LOVE to do, like fashion and hobbies(pottery classes, maybe a sketchign class at the New School in Soho, a cooking class) Doing creative things that you enjoy I believe opens up a whole different world for people!</li><li><em>Overall just to be more happy and smile more.</em> We sometimes get caught up in our lives that we don't take the time out to smile or just simply enjoy the simple things in life. For me its how much I love my daily walks thru SoHo in the evening walking to the subway. The hustle and bustle of people, the tourists, the wonderfuil smells from the food carts and all the beautiful things I see around me. That makes me happy and smile. Playing with my dogs makes me smile. Sitting at the Starbucks on Hudson St. drinking my chai latte makes me smile. If we all took the time to do the things that truly makes us smile we would be so much happier and we would all appreciate our lives and those around us so much better.</li></ol><p>What are your Resolutions for this year?

I had a $300 gift certificate given to me by one of my dear clients. I knew the certificate would expire soon, so I called up and made an appointment for a 90 min Swedish massage! </p><br /><p>The spa itself is beautifully decorated, you walk in and you forget that you are in the hustle and bustle of NYC and that downstairs is Fifth Ave. with a million tourist. Once you are upstairs you don't hear a damn thing, just pure tranquility.</p><br /><p>I was taken to a locker to change and put on my robe. Once I was changed I was walked over to the "Tranquility Library" where I was offered champagne (which I of course happily accepted, and tea sandwiches) at the "Tranquility Library" I waited for my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">masseuse</span> to come and get me. Sonya (my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">masseuse</span>) showed me to our room! The room was spectacular! All in white, dim lights, candles lit everywhere and in the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">background</span> classical music played. I opted for the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">eucalyptus</span> aroma therapy massage, and for the next 90 min, Sonya massaged my sore neck, tired shoulders and back! I was in a trance, I felt so relaxed that I actually fell asleep for more than half the massage! Once over I felt like a new person, my soar muscles no longer bothering me as much and as I walked out on to Fifth Ave. the streets full of tourist, street vendors and the endless traffic noise, I knew that at least for 90 min I felt as though I was in another world.</p><br /><p>Moral of this post: Every single woman should be receiving massages at least once a month for at least 60 min. You dont have to spend $375 like I did on a massage but you can certainly do your research and find a spa that meets your needs. I mean I promise you that you will walk out of your appointment with a different look on ppl and life its self, even if it only last for a lil while.</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.spafinder.com/">http://www.spafinder.com/</a> is a great way to find a spa that meets your needs close to you. </p></div>Jahayrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313265312116141406noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164049544996202915.post-89607872482227262192010-01-05T13:04:00.002-05:002010-01-05T13:15:27.131-05:00Happy New Year!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/S0OBBHCCZcI/AAAAAAAAARA/a4XT9fHu8n8/s1600-h/2C1ZD00Z.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423320232351655362" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 222px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/S0OBBHCCZcI/AAAAAAAAARA/a4XT9fHu8n8/s320/2C1ZD00Z.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Happy New Years my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">lil</span>' Darlings!

And from the moment I read her first entry I was hooked on her blog. Kat is a 20 something fly bitch from the West Coast who is married and just recently found out her husband was cheating on her. From the moment she decides to takes control and not just be another woman scorned she gets into all kinds of crazy ass situations, fantasies and meets the most prominent men in LA. Kat has now taken her story and wrote a delish book called Life on the Low: Creeping with Hip Hop. I ordered the book which took about 2 wks to be delivered, and once I had the book in my hands I did not put it down for 3 days. I read it, lusted for Kat and all the lovers she mentions in her books. I became fascinated by her and the men she came across. LOVED the book. Very erotic at times, but still Kat kept it classy and kept my attention so you too would lust for more. I finished the book and was upset by the ending, I was an emotional wreck as Kat was in the end of the book and with my mouth open, closed thebook and daydreamed of what would become of Kat and the men in her life. Kat is now writing a sequel to this delicious book. And I can not wait for it! Its an easy read, it has sexy characters and as a woman you can totally relate to Kat and her experiences on being heartbroken over a man she thought would always be there for her. I highly recommend it and it will take you away on a journey from LA to the Hamptons from her being in Law School to her creeping w the hottest Hip Hop artists. Check it out!</div><div></div><div>You can buy the book here on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Life-Low-creepin-hip-hop/dp/1449564356/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1261158303&sr=8-1#noop">Amazon</a>, I know you will love it.

What an amazing time we had! The weather, in December fashion was cold, rainy and at time dangeorous as we were driving to Atlantic City but thank God we all made it there safely.<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div>We stayed at <a href="http://www.thechelsea-ac.com/fifthfloor.php">The Chelsea Hotel</a>, which is a breath of fresh air from the Borgata and the Water Club. I HATE the Water Club as I was there this past Summer and their service SUCKED big time. I paid almost $500 for a room and the staff there had the biggest attitude and not very friendly! I will NEVER stay there again, at least not for a room that I pay for. Anyhoot......<a href="http://www.thechelsea-ac.com/fifthfloor.php">The Chelsea Hotel </a>is young, hip and the newest hang out hotel for yong Hollywood as the Kardashian sisters often stay there and host parties at their lounge, <a href="http://www.thechelsea-ac.com/fifthfloor.php">The Fifth</a>.</div><br /><div>My Birthday dinner was at <a href="http://www.cubalibrerestaurant.com/ac_index.php">Cuba Libre </a>and hosted by yours truly. The food was delisious and quite athentic. The staff was amazing and pretty much let me and my friends do whatever we wanted as far as where we wanted to sit, the pictures we were all taking and the amount of noise we were causing! There were 15 of us after all. </div><br /><div></div><div>After dinner we changed to our party dresses and went back to Cuba Libre for some Spanish music and then went to Providence! We flirted with locals, w tourist and toasted to me turning 33 and for me having such fabulous friends to share my birthday with. I am not very close with family so my friends mean the world to me! </div><br /><div></div><div>After drinking I proceeded to go gambling at the Tropicana and won $250 in the slot machine w the game "Wheel of Fortune" I couldnt believe it and took my winnings cashed out and put it in my bag, so that I could go shopping the next day!</div><br /><div></div><div>Next day we had a lovely brunch at Country Kitchen on the boardwalk. After stuffing ourselves we headed to the outlets by the Borgata and I shopped a lil. Sales everywhere! </div><br /><div></div><div>I will post pics in another entry since I don't know how to format the pics the way I want them.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Jahayrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313265312116141406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164049544996202915.post-78013230256779544422009-12-03T16:09:00.005-05:002009-12-03T16:30:16.606-05:00Happy Birthday to ME!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/SxgsPG8wFGI/AAAAAAAAANk/_XQFIZZBiv0/s1600-h/l_4edd6a841eb1c51374d8429351bb7edd.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411123590360732770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/SxgsPG8wFGI/AAAAAAAAANk/_XQFIZZBiv0/s320/l_4edd6a841eb1c51374d8429351bb7edd.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/SxgsAytG8sI/AAAAAAAAANc/CTVKDiY6Y0o/s1600-h/cupcake3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411123344408244930" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/SxgsAytG8sI/AAAAAAAAANc/CTVKDiY6Y0o/s320/cupcake3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div>In 2 days I will be turning 33!

I mean yeah sure its <a href="http://www.payless.com/store/home/home.jsp">Payless</a>, but with the collaboration of well knows designers and <a href="http://www.payless.com/store/home/home.jsp">Payless</a> you will be surprised at the high quality of these shoes. I know people will stay say, <a href="http://www.payless.com/store/home/home.jsp">Payless</a>? Listen I can't afford to wear &1,000 shoes all the time. Do I love to buy Louboutins, YSLs and GUCCIs? Of course I do, what women doesn't? But I like to make smart purchases now. If I spend $700 on a pair of shoes I want to make sure its for a timeless shoe that I will wear over and over and over. </div><div><br /></div><div>This is why this <a href="http://www.payless.com/store/home/home.jsp">Payless</a> collection is so awesome! Great sylish shoes from a designer that is getting alot of buzz. These boots here are super cute, the color is gorgeous and will bring life to any any outfit or LBD. I just ordered them myself, and I dare anyone to give me shit about wearing Payless shoes. A true Fashionista will wear whatever she is comfortable in, no matter where it came from!</div><br /><div> </div><div>In Case you do not know who Christian Siriano is or you've been living under a rock for the past 2 yrs, here is a lil more on Christian Siriano:</div><div> </div><div>Christian Siriano, 23, was born to design. Raised by a creative family in Annapolis, Maryland, Christian began designing at just 13 years old and attended the Baltimore School for the Arts and the American Intercontinental University in London, where he interned with punk legend Vivienne Westwood, and with Alexander McQueen. Upon returning to the United States and moving to New York City, Christian's big break came when he earned a spot on season four of Bravo's hit program Project Runway. Despite fierce competition, Christian became the show's youngest winner, fan favorite, and a rising star in the fashion world. Since winning, Christian has designed for a growing list of celebrity clients which includes: style icon Victoria Beckham; supermodels Heidi Klum and Alessandra Ambrosio; actresses Mena Suvari, Vanessa Williams, Becki Newton, Maggie Grace, Tori Spelling, Shailene Woodley, Kristen Johnston, Katrina Bowden, and Whoopi Goldberg in her role as host of the 2008 Tony Awards; and singers Lady GaGa, Pink, Estelle, Kelly Rowland, Nicole Scherzinger and the Pussycat Dolls, Thalia, and Kimberley Locke. He has signed on to design a full couture collection to appear in the upcoming film Eloise in Paris, starring Uma Thurman. Christian's current projects include joining the likes of Abaete and Alice + Olivia in creating a recurring line of shoes and bags for Payless which first became available in September 2009. He also created a line of makeup for Victoria's Secret that was sold in stores around the country beginning in August 2009, the colors for which were inspired by ancient Egypt and complement his Fall 2009 collection. He will premiere a special holiday collaboration with Starbucks in November, and collaborated last year with Puma. Between his design projects, Christian has also written a style guide titled Fierce Style: How to Be Your Most Fabulous Self, available now, and he will embark on a book tour in the fall. Christian Siriano shows a full collection every season as part of New York Fashion Week, with past shows being sponsored by LG, Sprint, Victoria's Secret, Cibu International, and Aveda. Echoing his comments that Christian is "his generation's Marc Jacobs," Tim Gunn has remained a supporter since Christian's time on Project Runway. "I'm extremely proud of him," he stated to Newsday. "He really is the next great American fashion designer, I'm confident of it."<br /></div><div>For more information on Christian go here <a href="http://www.christianvsiriano.com/bio.html">Christian Siriano</a></div>Jahayrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313265312116141406noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164049544996202915.post-29899116151723115872009-11-30T16:28:00.003-05:002009-11-30T16:43:31.720-05:00Around....<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/SxQ6n4GqD2I/AAAAAAAAANE/RhF8ihQzJ7U/s1600/101641592v7_480x480_Front.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410013509128425314" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/SxQ6n4GqD2I/AAAAAAAAANE/RhF8ihQzJ7U/s320/101641592v7_480x480_Front.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I have been the worst blogger in the past few months, I really don't mean to be but with all the shit going on in my life lately it is hard for me to even get a few minutes to update and when I do have some time all I want to do is sleep or go out and get drunk.

Sometimes I feel like when he spits his rhymes, its me he's talking to. Yeah I'm sure most of us that have been in the street whether it be because we grew up in the game, dated a hustler, hung out with the hustlers or simply knew of the struggles for a young black man from Brooklyn, he has touched his fans in one way or another. </div><br /><div></div><div>I was always been so fascinated by the way he speaks, the way he sees things and how articulate he is in speaking of his past, his future and his plans not only for himself but for the whole music game. </div><div></div><div>The music industry will eat you alive if you are not careful, smart and don't have a team of highly educated ppl behind you..........Jay has educated himself and others on the way things can be done and should be done. I mean come on he made a deal with Live Nation for 150 millions dollars -the most expansive deal yet from Live Nation, which has angled to compete directly with the industry’s established music labels in a scrum over the rights to distribute recordings, sell concert tickets, market merchandise and control other aspects of artists’ careers. Thats a pretty big deal is you ask me.</div><br /><div></div><div>On 8/31/09 Jay Z held a news conference to formally announce the "Answer The Call" charity concert that will take place at Madison Square Garden on September 11th to raise money for the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund. Of the benefit concert this is what Jay had to say: "I turned the TV on September 12th and I saw footage of these heroic actions, people running to buildings and saving each other and I saw the strength of New York," Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, continued. "It made me proud. So, as I was embarking on putting out 'Blueprint 3,' it was only right that we revisit that day. This is my chance to do something to help out."</div><div></div><div>For more information and ticket sales please visit <a href="http://www.msg.com/jay-z/">MSG</a>.</div><br /><div></div><div>You know I will def be there and will be reporting back to you all!

They are the rarest of child stars in that they have not grown up ugly, angry, or (it seems) insane. They’ve maintained their preadolescent adorability, with round eyes and faces and little button noses, and they’ve also maintained their mind-boggling fortune. When they were infants, they were cast in the single role of Michelle Tanner, the wisecracking baby of the Full House family. Little girls went mad for Michelle, madder still when it was discovered there were two of them.<br /></div><div>Fast forward about 10 years or so and these cute adorable girls are now adults and run their own successful fashion lines <a href="http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/store/catalog/templates/EntrySC.jhtml?itemId=cat302834&parentId=cat30005&masterId=cat000008&navAction=index&ecid=BGSGDIThe_Row&http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;213859296;33114320;b?http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/store/catalog/templates/EntrySC.jhtml?itemId=cat302834&parentId=cat30005&masterId=cat000008&navAction=index&ecid=BGSGDIThe_Row">the Row </a>and <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/elizabeth-james/br/v=1/2534374302082591.htm?extid=affprg-3136238">Elizabeth & James</a>.

I mean he was never gone but you know that Jay has been getting into all sorts of things as of late. Contract w Live Nation, RocWear cologne due out sometime in the winter, and married to the baddest bitch in the game!</div><br /><div></div><div>The Blueprint 3, set to be released on September 11, 2009 and its Jay's eleventh studio albumn. It will be the final installment in The Blueprint trilogy, preceded by the critically acclaimed The Blueprint (2001) and its follow-up The Blueprint 2 (2002). </div><div>On May 20, 2009 Jay-Z confirmed that he bought out the remainder of his contract from Def Jam Records in order to start his contract with Live Nation, and therefore The Blueprint 3 will be released under Roc Nation and distributed by Atlantic Records.</div><br /><div></div><div>Of the record’s 15 tracks, only three songs find Jay-Z going at it solo — the rest boast a hip-hop all-star team. In addition to contributions from Kanye West and Rihanna on “Run This Town” with Drake, Kid Cudi and Mr Hudson, The Blueprint 3 will also feature appearances from Alicia Keyes, Young Jeezy, Swizz Beatz and Pharrell. Kanye, who served as producer for a bulk of the tracks on The Blueprint 3, will also appear on the track “Hate.”</div><br /><div></div><div>I am anxiously waiting for Jay's new release, most of you know my obsession with Jay. I feel as though when he spits his lyrics they are meant for me, are directed at me or something in my life. I have been a fan of his since I first heard "In my Lifetime" in 1995, after that I've been hooked on him not only as an artist but as a business man.

Dania, the Heroes actress and Dominican Republic native who didn't speak a word of English when moving to the United States, says she feels like this deal had "been in the works my whole life. I've always dreamed of being a CoverGirl."</div><br /><div>Cover Girl has a great reputation of diversity for themselves by signing spokemodels who hail from a wide variety of backgrounds and who exude beauty inside and out.

Whether it be because you've got yourself together and people are hating on you, or maybe you have a fabulous new bag that everyone is lusting after. You may simply be a smart beautiful woman and people are just hating....... well because they wish they had themselves as together as you do. Either way, hating is never ever cool, and it is never cool to put someone else down. </div><br /><div></div><div>When you hate on someone you are usually jealous of the accomplishments the person you are hating on. </div><br /><div></div><div>As a young professional woman in my early 30s I have come across of a lot of hating from my co workers, my peers, friends, family and even random birds on the streets. Everytime someone hates on me it makes me want to work harder to achive what I have set out to accomplish! My problem is that so may of these professional haters put so much negative energy out there sometimes it is hard to overlook. I am not perfect nor do I claim to be-I am grateful everyday for the many blessings I am giving each and every day and I try to live my life in honesty & love, because in the end that is all that matters. Those who throw the negative energy out there are simply misereable people who have nothing going on but to rain on someone elses good fortune. For those people I feel bad because being a hater will never get you anywhere.</div><div> </div><div>Here are a few steps I follow in my life in achiving ANYTHING I do:</div><br /><ul><br /><li><strong>Review your overall progress regularly</strong>. *Make sure you are making progress. If you are not making progress, tap into the support of loved ones, analyze why the goal is not being met. Don’t allow the goal to just fade away. Figure out what you need to do to accomplish it. Check the prior five steps starting with an assessment of how deeply you actually want to achieve the goal.*</li><br /><li><strong>Establish times for checking your progress in your calendar system.</strong> *whatever it is: a day planner, a PDA, or Blackberry (my choice)one or a hand written list. If you’re not making progress or feel stuck, don't let your optimism keep you from accomplishing your goals. No matter how positively you are thinking, you need to assess your lack of progress. Adopt a pessimist’s viewpoint; something will and probably is, going to go wrong. Take a look at all of the factors that are keeping you from accomplishing your goal and develop a plan to overcome them. Add these plan steps to your calendar system as part of your goal achievement plan.</li><br /><li><strong>Commit to achieving the goal by writing down the goal. *</strong>The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen* (this is simple enough)</li><br /><li><strong>Make a plan for the path you need to follow to accomplish the goal.</strong>*Create action steps to follow. Identify a critical path. The critical path defines the key accomplish-ments along the way, the most important steps that must happen for the goal to become a reality.*</li><br /><li><strong>Visualize yourself achieving the goal.</strong>*If you can’t picture yourself achieving the goal, chances are – you won’t.*</li></ul><p>I wake up every morning and thank God for all that he has giving me, I visualize myself having a a good day and accomplishing my goals. I also never forget to thank the people that hate, that always have a negative word to say, or that simply try to put me down with their negativity. With out these people what would keep me/us motivated? What motivates me is to prove those who have doubted me, the birds who always look at me with their beedy lil eyes jealous of all I have been blessed with and simply knowing that I want to be the best person possible at whatever I do.</p><p>On that note, pray each and everyday for those haters, because in actuality they keep us motivated. </p>Jahayrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313265312116141406noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164049544996202915.post-68694319788849325142009-08-17T12:53:00.006-04:002009-08-17T13:14:07.951-04:00Kourtney w.

I gotta say I am a bit dissapointed, I mean to eachs own but I do not believe in having children out of wedlock, and I thought that Kourtney out of the whole clan would stick to her believes of getting married and then having children. But nevertheless, it is happy news and I know she will one gorgeous pregnant woman! From what I hear she is due around the Holidays...can't believe that family kept a secret from the press for so long. Congrats to Kourtney and her baby Daddy Scott Disick.</div>Jahayrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313265312116141406noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164049544996202915.post-8512323619061952962009-08-05T16:09:00.004-04:002009-08-05T16:43:54.713-04:00Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 2 on Bravo<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/Snnu-TZPgsI/AAAAAAAAAK4/Dnz27ySQjH8/s1600-h/rha-cast.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366583185114104514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 212px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/Snnu-TZPgsI/AAAAAAAAAK4/Dnz27ySQjH8/s320/rha-cast.jpg" border="0" /></a> What can I say about this show? I LOVE IT! I love the drama, I love the attitudes, the clothes and the lifestyle these wives lead. <div><br /><p>Last Thursday was the Seasons Premier of Season 2 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, and let me tell you these ladies did not dissapoint, there was drama, drama and drama!</p><br /><p><strong>Sheree Whitfield</strong> (my least favorite housewife) is a man. I swear she is, shes narcissistic and swears that everone wants to cop her style, umm no. I like some of the bags she rocks but I don't like her style. And she needs to stop fantasizing about her 7 figure divorce settlement that will never happen and get a job.</p><br /><p><strong>NeNe Leakes</strong> is one of my favorite. Shes real, and keeps it real. She kind of reminds me of myself when she speaks, she holds nothing back.</p><br /><p><strong>Kandi Burruss</strong> is a Grammy award winner songwritter, since shes new to the show and only 1 episode has aired I can't comment on her too much except that she needs a bettter hairstylist. Her hair looks straight out of a bad 1995 bad prom picture!</p><br /><p><strong>Kim Zolciak </strong>is pure white trash plain and simple and any woman that knowingly sleeps with a married man is on my shit list. And yes her Big Poppa as she calls him is married and is still married. Anyone sleeping with a man that has a family doesnt deserve my time. Plus wtf is up with that wig she wears?</p><br /><p><strong>Lisa Wu Hartwell </strong>is by far my favorite Housewife! Shes gorgeous and athough she is married to Ed Hartwell and are financially secure this woman has all sorts of things going on. She is a hustler! She owns her own real estate firm, Hartwell & Associates, a jewelry line called Wu Girls, a baby clothing line, Hart 2 Hart Baby, and juggles a budding acting, modeling and writing career. Plus she is so gorgeous, and has natural beauty! I keep saying I have a crush on her! I really do! Shes got everything going on....beauty, intelligence, and her own career! You go girl! </p><br /><p>I am sure I will have lots and lots more to write about this show! It is so entertaining and I get pleasure out of seeing these women being dramatic!</p></div>Jahayrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313265312116141406noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164049544996202915.post-38490955652839968562009-08-05T15:50:00.002-04:002009-08-05T15:54:16.974-04:00The Summer is When Everyone Breaks Up<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/SnnjXFbpz6I/AAAAAAAAAKo/OKmlgC7C9Dc/s1600-h/KimReggie_Blog_0_0_0x0_290x418.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366570416723316642" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 139px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/SnnjXFbpz6I/AAAAAAAAAKo/OKmlgC7C9Dc/s200/KimReggie_Blog_0_0_0x0_290x418.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush have officially called it quits! I love love Kim, shes pretty stylish and that bitch has a wardrobe that I would kill for. I loved Reggie and Kim together they made a very pretty couple. Both have claimed that no cheating was involved but I don't know....spending wks at a time from your significant other will make anyone seek comfort in the arms of a warm body. They are both gorgeous people, I am sure they will not have problems getting dates. As my friend says, Reggie is right now with a black girl somewhere.</div>Jahayrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313265312116141406noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164049544996202915.post-84443950755240345512009-08-05T13:57:00.020-04:002009-08-05T14:34:38.840-04:00Long Island Wineries<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/SnnQp0-3lqI/AAAAAAAAAKg/MMYe6ZCgvvc/s1600-h/6000_101672579519_518224519_1918090_6134169_n.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366549848004204194" style="FLOAT: right;

And what a great day it was! First we had amazing weather, and I emphasize this because we've had such a rainy Summer, and everything went so perfectly. We were picked up by a black stretch limo and were driven to the North Fork of Long Island. We first arrived at <a href="http://www.llwines.com/newsevents.php">Laurel Lake Vineyards</a> where we were giving a tour of the vineyards and the process of making wine. Some photos are above of our trip. The staff was amazing and we had the yummiest lunch overlooking the wineries! After the Laurel Lake Vineyards we visited <a href="http://www.vineyard48winery.com/">Vineyard 48</a> which was so pretty, and had the best merlot. To all of these wineries you can bring your own picnic, which I recommend bc after drinking wine all day you will need the food. We brought crackers, cheeses, and prosciutto. The last winery we visited was <a href="http://ospreysdominion.com/">Osprey's Dominion Vineyards .</a> After drinking all day we chilled at this winery laid out a blanket on their beautiful grounds tasted wines and enjoyed the afternoon. I would recommend thsi to anyone looking for a fun day trip out of the City with a group of friends. I had an amazing time with my girls and it was just what we needed to reconnect again.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Jahayrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313265312116141406noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164049544996202915.post-41053431655206737102009-08-05T13:14:00.003-04:002009-08-05T13:56:16.156-04:00Bad Blogger<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/SnnCDAIDhqI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/SfxvbcSHKDM/s1600-h/015C0203LL.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366533787817838242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__Rr20c1onBU/SnnCDAIDhqI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/SfxvbcSHKDM/s320/015C0203LL.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>To all my readers.
