Nappy Diva Beauty Tips: Top 3 Reasons You Can't Keep This Diva Down

Being a self-proclaimed Diva is no easy feat. I have to live up to the title. There are times that I'm not feeling up to par however, no matter how I may be looking or feeling, I like to use some tried and true items to get myself over the hump. If there is one thing you are going to tell me, it's not going to be that I'm not fabulous! So check out my Nappy Diva Beauty Tips:
The Lips: If you can't get your shadow popping, go for the lipsI discovered Lip Venom 12 years ago and I always keep some on hand. Lip Venom gives your lips a tingle and allows for a "bee stung" look. I usually order mine from Sephora. In fact, I don't know where else to find it. What I love about it is that it gives my lips a great shine and they actually do look a bit more rosy in color. Beware: Lip Venom is addictive! 
The Look: Being a Diva on a Dime is easier than you think. Grab a few nice pieces and even when you are feeling your worst, you can still look fabulous! I like to go to higher end stores and pull a few solid pieces that I can mix with skinny jeans and heels. Believe it or not, Saks is great for that. If you order online they give you 10% off your first purchase! Worried about the price? Try the sale rack first. Bluefly.com is another great place to go for great items. 
The Attitude: Listen, well...read! I don't call myself a Nappy Haired Diva for nada! Whether my hair is short, straight, long or curly I have the attitude of a woman that if fabulous. I don't allow other people's opinions to affect how I feel about myself. So even on my worst day, I still claim my Diva title. It's not just what you wear, but it's the attitude behind it. 

Happy Fabulousness Folks!

The Real Thing *Relationships/Dating*

I love Marvin Gaye. I love how he croons along with Tammi Terrell about having the "Real Thing". If you have followed my blog over the years, you have seen me get separated, divorced, and hit the dating scene. Its been a long road. There was a time that I was dating just to get my feet wet. I just wanted to get into the habit of conversing and entertaining men in a way that I hadn't due to the confines of marriage. I just wanted to be single again. Eventually I came to want more. I wanted to have something...real. I am not a traditional woman. If I didn't have children I would likely never be married and I would be totally fine with living in a separate home from my significant other and connecting when we wanted to connect and maintaining space all other times. However, I have children...and my lifestyle preferences are not a priority. I am more interested in setting an example and foundation for my girls. So here I am, dating with a purpose. I have been on POF,

The Punisher: Relationship Prejudice

When started dating after separation, I did it in phases. The first phase was catch up. I wanted to catch up with every man I had a spark with to explore where it would have went had I not gotten married. Once I realized that these "what if's" were really "don't bother's" I moved on to try to find "the one." After several failed attempts and false starts with "the one" I began making rules. I didn't always know what I liked but I was certain after several failed relationships of what I didnt. However, now that I look back, I realize that plenty of the red flags that made me run were almost always a shared similarity with my ex. If a man said he was interested in anything my ex was interested in, I began to feel uneasy and delve deeper for more "flags". I'll even admit that if a man were from the same country or continent as my ex, I would get turned off. I now know that I was suffering from PTRD (Post Traumatic Re

The Secret Society Of Trump Supporters

I've heard at least a dozen people proclaim their disgust with the success of Donald Trumps Presidential campaign. I'm lying, it's been everywhere. On social media, articles, and conversation you hear plenty people express their disdain at the mere thought of Trump assuming office. Then there are the supporters. There are the people who openly express their support of Trump winning the White House. As time goes on, Trump's position is yet more secured and his supporters are also more secure in showing just how much they love him. It seems now that victory is within their grasp, they can more openly say : I helped make this happen. Those are the cowards. They won't openly defend their candidate but they quietly follow and support him. Those are the people who will say: "well there are some people who support Trump because he says what others won't say." Those people, are talking about themselves. They are far too timid to say what Trump says and he ha
