Movie Mondays

Just some views and words I had to share on the latest movie I went to see by Lee Daniel's: The Butler and how it has to do with this DVD I am watching "The Men who Built America".


Yes, I am all natural with no make-up on except my lipgloss by Bare Minerals MarvelousMOXIE in "Maverick".

What a exceptional cast of entertainer's in  "The Butler" who I love like Lenny Kravitz, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Mariah Carey. I recommend you go see this and you will get a real history lesson of how things once were to what things are in the present time.

In a Capitalistic System darlings everything is about class and how you are presenting yourself. To live life with dignity and love what you do while continuing to fight for what is right. I love both of these films because faith is everything and when you are anointed than you are living God's Will.

I love the story of John D. Rockfeller because he was truly blessed and love how he was a devout Christian, continuing to praise God in the Baptist Church. Life should be all about the legacy we are leaving behind in such a temporary state. Our souls are for eternity and when the last breath is taken all that will be left is ashes to ashed and dust to dust.



God bless the humble servants, those who are letting God's will be done and those inventing for the common of good of humanity.

The CEO may have their idea, drive, and other things but without the manpower than they would be nothing.

Bestseller

Lately, I have been reading which I love to do and I decided to share because I really care and maybe someone may decide one of the books are of interest to them. All I know is that I am blessed with the amazing grace and understanding of the lessons my higher and intellectual beings have endowed me with.


At first I didn't want to share all of this with the internet world and all the public to think or believe that I am some type of religious freak, but I have decided to come down to Earth because after all this is a "religious" world we are living in. Through my spiritual journey and just understanding human nature these books have given me clarity to how great and good the almighty creator is.

Highly recommended

This shows just how evil people can be and when people choose to abuse their power for living in complete darkness...

Amazing to realize the spirituality of systems of the world....

My bestseller and favorite design

From my special design that I love painting on shirts that I have sold to classmates in the past, I am am happy and so very thankful to realize that it has brought me to exactly where I am now on my journey. At first I did not understand, but I know that the choice of light versus darkness is so real now that I have found myself in the situations I am in. Not only does God not Ugly which is choosing to be consumed by negative feelings that allow us to act in ugly ways can be very lethal. (If anyone pays attention to my tweets I did mention that "If you feel some type of way don't get caught up in it" which is like be happy and don't worry).

I have to use myself as a prime example because I was faced with the choices of being Good, Bad or Ugly and I choose to be good by fighting for what is right. Once again I have a tale to tell and this is my true real life story. I looked at my options for beauty schools and decided on "Aveda Institute" because I was impressed with the products and what appeared to be a great institution. Well, of course I was wrong for believing that my education would be just as great as the veneer of the image that was being sold to me. To tell anyone the truth the Aveda Institute is owned by a whole other institute seperate from the storefront that sells the products online and in stores.

Anyways to get to my whole point, I realized the new owners who took over right around the time I started school whose name fits them perfect "Beauty Basics Incorporated" was not providing the service, equipment, policies and necessities for a Esthetician student who paid their full tuition. Coming to the realization that wrongdoings were being made I took a stand by being good to know that I was left with no choice but to take legal matter for receiving less than 100% from the Avedaq Institute. Now if I was bad than I would be like the rest of my classmates or "spa sisters" who could only complain and just take what was given to them which was nothing more than a big slap in the face if you ask me. Than the most worst case scenario to reciprocate what the school was giving out and act out right ugly would be to destroy them with no other considerations of other human beings. If the complete darkness and ugliness of "Beauty Basics Inc. " consumed me than I would have decided that setting the school on fire would be the best way to handle the situation, but that would be doing more damage than good.

I am thankful and blessed that I choose to go in the direction of light and love. Being good in these circumstances allowed me to be empowered to choose the humane way to resolve this issue by going through the Justice system. Being more spiritually aware and realizing that we all have choices to make on how to handle ourselves I  see things clearly.

Well the whole lesson of my story is the being good is having the strength to go forth and do what is right. Being good is following your heart and sometimes means going against what everyone else is doing. Than being bad means letting worldly things and everything that weighs you down be in control of how you act. Being a shiftless person that really well I don't want to focus on that because well everyone is in this state and that includes me. After watching Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing I am convinced that I am highly favored to brought to doing good work eventhough it hurts to be brought to this point. Than of course their is ugly which is plain evil which leads people to kill, violently abuse, sabotage others, harbor anger all the time or just have thoughts of wishing harm on others. 

The truth is that we all have some "Good, Bad and Ugly" in us and I know that when their is complete peace we all can coexist in each others goodness. Well, it just so happens everyone is at war with themselves and depending on how someone is feeling and if they choose light or darkness than there just won't be complete peace on Earth.


So the question always remains....Will you choose the dark or light?

Behind the Beauty...

Lies a wonderful photographer and awesome make-up artist along with amazing grace. When I was slimmer and loved going to the gym religiously like a old lady that gets all dressed up for church I was priviledged to work with Bryan Benoit. What a pleasure it is to work with someone talented in photography that has so much passion. His work is so sensual, soulful, sexy and elegant. I love his black and whites the most and they kind of remind me of the third album art from Beyonce's I AM...


I just have to bring things back to be reminded of where I am now and why I love doing make-up. The whole process of creating and being apart of the fantasy that inspires people is wonderful. From once doing modeling because I was qualified but with no passion was really pointless. The key to life is not to take any suggestions from anyone unless they plan on financing what they are talking about. In love with the support and less suggestions that have no substance.

I flashback to a time when I fit the mold or played a part I outgrew to be behind the beauty. Oh and can anyone guess what is wrong in any of the photos below?


A bunch of kisses and hugs.  XOXO

My right arm is missing, my hair is unnaturally straight and the bottom half  of my left leg is missing as well.

So when people love to give their free advice (aka opinion) about what you should be doing than this explains it all...

Youthfully Observed

What a youthful day it has been from the feelings and all the energy in the atmosphere. I feel so passionate about education and especially all that involves today's youth. Even though I consider myself a young adult because that is the type of vibrancy I possess I still am amazed by the "youth" culture of today. There has been a progression in having more sense of freedom through advances in technology and other things allowing teenagers to loose all ties to tradition. 

May marks National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month (NTPPM) which is something I did not know even know existed until this year and my how great to have such a cause to be thankful for. So just all for gaining more approval or attention from the opposite sex or maybe to seem cool teen-aged girls will agree to give up the essence of themselves. It is amazing what young ladies put themselves through and really if they do not know or no one tells them, " I love them". I love all that their mind contains and how much joy they can bring to a man that will ask them to be their wife. In popular culture the boyfriend and girlfriend title is so popular but really all there is on paper "single", "married", "divorced" and "widowed". With all the apparent independence women have gained doing things alone without the benefits of marriage is just socially normal. Maybe more now than ever before women are objectified for one thing and than when sexuality is experienced at a young age their is room left for disease and being a single mother. 

Amazing the events that went on today and this book Unhooked by Laura Sessions Stepp caught my fancy which is appropriate for this month and the greater Washington DC area. This book is very revealing of the reality of youth today that I am thankful for having no involvement in and living up the influence. When one can enjoy themselves fully and have learned to gain more spiritual guidance than their is a certain simplicity to life that gets you off the hook. Youth is and should be more more than what true stories are in this book below.

How amazing that May 1st was a holiday or awareness for the National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy and you can find out more on this webpage. On May 1, 2013 I was in the Columbia Heights neighborhood at my Zumba class and while waiting for the train a girl handed me this flyer.......

A great program for DC residents who want to receive a High School Diploma at a Charter School located in the Columbia Heights 14th Street area.


Oh, how to be as optimistic as the youth and maturely grow to be wise?
