Andrew Lincoln
Is that a gun, or are you happy to see me? Oh sh*t its a gun. For all of my Walking Dead Fans you know exactly what I’m talking about…. Andrew Lincoln aka Rick can GET IT. I’m not sure of its the Zombies surrounding him or I have some sort of damsel in distress complex, but if I was on set…. Rick and I would be getting busy. He is truly a handsome man, and I happen to love a little gray. Rather he is covered in Zombie gunk or spiffy in a suit he radiates. Yummy, enjoy.
Best Moisturizers for Dry Skin
I have dry skin, very dry skin. And to make matters worse I wear makeup… By the end of the day my makeup starts to separate and look cakey. I kept switching my makeup until I realized the problem was much deeper, like epidermis deeper. I needed to change my moisturizer. So I did, which took me away from the Drugstore and into the Department Stores (it also drained my account too, but it was worth it).
I not only needed a moisturizer to soothe and invigorate my dry skin, I needed it to keep my makeup intact throughout the whole day. No one ever tells you how these products work under your makeup….
Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream with Super 7 Complex ($42) – The best of the best has to be Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream with Super 7 Complex. This was a heaven send to a makeup maven like myself, I could actually go all day without needing to reapply my makeup (Oily Skin women “retouch” but when your skin is dry you have to “do-over”). It has a very fresh cucumber scent that reminds me of getting a facial (don’t ask me why). Its is pricey at $42, but your face will thank you. You can purchase this at http://www.sephora.com.
Ole Henriksen Truth Creme ($45) – My other fav is the Ole Henriksen Truth Creme. I prefer this Ole moisturizer to the much-hyped Truth Revealed Super Creme. For one, its $10 cheaper…and although the sales lady tried to get me to buy it… I looked the Truth Creme in the eye and quoted Britney Spears “B*tch you better work”. Two, I prefer the texture of the Truth Creme better. This is also slightly pricey @ $45, but if your face isn’t worth $45 what is? The good thing about Fresh and Ole is you can “test” them at Sephora before you make that purchase. I encourage testing EVERYTHING if possible.
CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion AM ($11-14) – On the lower end is the CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion AM. I will say this, it does keep my face moisturized and helps my makeup last for a good 10 hours, BUT it burns my eyes. I had to really wash off all my expertly applied eyeliner (hey! on your blog you can be an expert too). So now I’m very careful on not applying any in the eye area. Also, the packaging is faulty. If you read any reviews on this you will see tons of complaints about the pump not working. Well, it doesn’t work on mine either. What gives CeraVe? I use this for when I wont be out long or I’m running low on my good stuff. You can buy CeraVe products at Walmart, Target and Amazon.
Hope this helps ladies, we have enough problems to worry about and a dry face with makeup shouldn’t be one of them.
It’s that time, time to cancel all your plans grab a snack and watch RHOA (or set your DVRs). Yes, all our favorite girls and Kenya are back. Bravo really outdid themselves with this promo, lets hope the whole season is just as exciting (most likely they used the best footage and everything else is a snooze). But before we begin our journey back to the Durty Souf (yes Souf boo) let me tell you what I need from the ladies to ensure a good season:
Nene Leakes – Take off the damn Blond mop. Girl, it’s getting more and more ridiculous every time I see you with that dry-dead-catastrophe. Also, Imma need you to get off that high horse and act like a cast member now that The New Normal is cancelled. For real, last season she was Nene goes to Hollywood… now she is Nene gets evicted from Hollywood. Be the same “Tell it like it is” Nene we fell in love with in Season one, but not the bully you became in the following seasons.
Kandi – Well boo, according to the promo you are going to BRING IT this season. You about to show the world just how ratchet you can really be.
Phaedra – I like Phaedra, I really do…. but she is boring. B-O-R-I-N-G. She better start Twerking and cussing Ho’s out, otherwise imma need her to pull a planned midseason exit like Kim.
Cynthia – Girl, 1.)stop with them side ponytails…. How old are you? 15? 2.) Your husband is a horrible business man. That alone is not grounds for divorce, but you should know any money you give him will go down the drain. Being married don’t mean being stupid. Tell his old a$$ to get a job.
Porsha – Now that your marriage has blown up, like every other marriage that claims to be perfect for TV cameras we get to see the REAL you. SO who the hell were you last season? Anywho, make sure to continue to be the thorn in Kenya’s behind and OUT Kordell. Not like he hasn’t already been outed before.
Kenya – I don’t have many words. After she faked that whole Walter thing I am not feeling her. I like Crazy on TV, but this broad is Crazy in real life.
I’m ready for this season to start…. get ready peeps. This Sunday, Nov. 3. @ 8/7c
Have you ever been sipping your morning coffee, browsing the internet (mainly seedy urban blogs) and then out of no where you see a headline that makes you spit out your coffee all over your monitor? Well that just happened to me. In today’s edition of ‘You’ve Got To Be Kidding’ News, reality star (and I use star very loosley) Tami Roman claims to be enduring bullying at the hands of the general public.
I’ll give you a minute to wipe the coffee (or alcoholic beverage…. I don’t judge) off your computer screen too.
Good? OK! So yes, back to Tami. For those of you who have been familiar with her outstanding body of work in the entertainment community I’m sure you need no clarification about just how delusional she sounds. For those of you who have no clue who this backyard hooliganis, your life is better for it.
Tami states:
“The way I’ve dealt with things over the course of my life comes from deep-routed issues. Everybody has to respect the fact that people are going to take the journey and cross bridges when they are ready to do it. People judge based on how they would handle a situation. They don’t take into consideration how a person was raised. Everybody’s going to handle things differently.”
Before I get on her very heart-felt statement (a cold black heart) let’s recap the latest episode. So the girls go to Tahiti…. Because its so believable that women who don’t like each other would all vacation together. Dear Reality Producers, I know its customary for the cast to take a “trip” together, but have a reason. Because there is NO reason all those ladies would be together, especially since they haven’t all been together in the states. I digress, so Tami gets drunk (which is when all her problems start… do we remember the food stamp episode) and decides she can’t hold her tongue any longer. So she has a very polite conversation with Kesha and everything gets resolved. Yeah right. She attacks this girl about some he-said-she-said mess and then says “who told me isn’t important. Dumb b*tch that is the MOST important thing.
Tami instructs Kesha, who she must think is a 12 yr old in desperate need of her nurturing, to come to her first and don’t talk sh*t behind her back. Tami, dear sweet delusional psychopathic drunk ass Tami. Didn’t you just make a speech about how people take their own journeys and handle things differently? Don’t we see you EVERY week talking about everyone with Evelyn? Newsflash idiot that is behind their backs. But in your world it makes perfect sense. No wonder why your husband left you. I’m not even going to get on the fact that her and Evelyn are kindred spirits this season.
Tami continues:
“If you disagree with how I handle something or the way a moment went down, you can say that and don’t have to call me a b*tch.”
WHAT? Aren’t you the first one in ANY scene calling someone a B*tch? I like you Tami, but I don’t like stupidity and ignorance. You just couldn’t let Evelyn be the irate coon this season, you had to be a self-appointed fooligan your damn self. I hope one day, after your weave lawsuit (is it just me or does her fusion/braids look crazy) you can actually see tht you are in the wrong and owe Kesha an APOLOGY. If you can call the seemingly weak spirited Kesha a B*tch be ready for a million people who “wish you would” to return the favor.
Next week, Tami coins the term hypocritcal by continuing her bullying. Stealing the girls purse? I hope someone pushes you in the Tahitian Ocean.
Well as to be expected the Ladies brought the drama and attitude like no others. Seemingly this same drama was missing throughout the season for the most part. I found myself bored at times, but tuned in anyways….. Unlike with this season of Orange County. But anywho, RHOA The Reunion Special.
First and foremost I want to give a special Award to MVP of the ATL… Kandi! Kandi brought the pain during this 3-part reunion, just ask Marlo. Since I mentioned this non-mutha-f*cking-factor let’s just get her out of the way. Such a pretty lady of a particular age, and the moment she opens her mouth…. a mess. So, while trying to extend her 7 minutes of fame she awkwardly called Kim a “whore” and Kandi a Suga Mama. Well…. Kandi was not having it, she shut her down quicker than the Health Department at your local Chinese Buffet. Kandi and her super ponytail and bang swooped down on Marlo and let her know exactly what she was “Clearly an Escort” and if that wasn’t enough “if I wanted to take care of every muthaf*cka in here I could”. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, party is over! There are some things in life that trump any and everything in their way… and success and a fat bank account that came from talents that don’t involve fellatio is just that. Continue reading
Just when you think Elmo pajamas and the fresh smell of just for me perms has ruined the black race, here comes the Basketball Wives. And by wives I mean jump-offs and baby mamas. Even Shaunie aint a wife. Well I have missed a few episodes so let’s do a recap edition.
Shaunie – it’s evident you are only making appearances because you have too. Thank you, and goodbye. No shade, but her presence is not necessary this season.
Uh…… Keisha – sorry forgot your name for a minute. Yo scary a$$ needs to 5 g’s, Good God Get a Grip Girl. When Kenya took off her kitten heels you ran quicker than Flo Jo. Eventually your kids will see this….. Poor children.
Susie – Well you have secured your position for next season by being the girl where sh*t gets started. But next season isn’t here, and you aren’t worth mentioning more than this…..
Royce – Before I could even say “girl your relationship isn’t going to last” it ended. Dear celebrities, keep your mouth shut about your love… because your lover’s secrets may have you eating crow.
Now on to the main characters…. Continue reading
If our ancestors could see us now. We have cars, skype, airplanes and a bathroom that knows when the toilet needs flushing, water needs a-running and just how many inches of paper towel you need. Aren’t we efficient. The only problem is them damn sensors are nuts, and NEVER….and I mean NEVER work like they should.
I’m sure to people outside there is a lot of activity going on when I enter the commode, but all the bells and whistle go off and I haven’t even un-buttoned my pants. So I walked into the bathroom recently…. the faint of heart should cover their eyes, because it’s about to get real. Like I was saying, I walk into the bathroom close and lock the door. I make that a point because not too long ago I didn’t lock the door and uh….. and a co-worker saw more of me then she bargained for. Good thing I was already sucking in my stomach and had my legs crosses, yes my vanity comes with me at all times. Anywho, so I close the door….. and the paper towel dispenser issues me a ration of paper towel. WTF, I ain’t ready for that. First things first! I gotta look in the mirror to admire myself (or get depressed, depending on the day). That’s when I knew things were gonna go haywire. And while I’m on it, why is the automatic paper towel holder so damn loud? Someone develop a silencer, STAT.
I reach for a seat cover and SWOOSH the toilet flushes. Uh, muthaf*cka I ain’t even did nothing yet. What kinda rinky dinky damn thing is this. The whole bathroom is ridiculous. And for some reason the closer you get to the toilet the more you have to pee, so I’m doing the dance now. The I gotta pee pee dance. I’m not sure if it scientifically helps, but I do it nonetheless. I get my seat cover placed and turn around…… SWOOSH the toilet flushes again, and takes me seat cover with it. Now I’m starting to think I’m on Candid Camera because this is not possible. Any moment Ashton Kutcher is gonna kick the door down and say I’ve been punked, that goodness I wore cute panties.
But really I have no time for the extras, I have to pee. Not only am I dancing around I’m also blurting oh “Ooooh I gotta pee”…. that’s when you are about to burst, when you verbalize it. I get a seat cover, place it on my butt THEN. Sit. And SWOOSH the toilet flushes, and wets my A$$. I’m totally disgusted by now. Seriously. So I finish, stand up….. and am ready to wash my hands. Only, nothing is happening with the toilet. So I do what any normal person would do…. start waving their hands frantically to trigger the sensor. All to no avail. I even pretended to grab another seat cover… In hopes id fool it. Nope, this toilet had it out for me and was about to make me sweat. So I give it a minute and go to wash my hands.
Dear Baby Jesus, please let this sink work. My prayers are answered, the sink works. Not only did it spit out water for my hands…. it wet my pants too….. hey a hand wash and a load of laundry, how efficient. Today Is not my day. I should have stayed home. Back up, I used soap…. didn’t want y’all thinking I was a nasty b*tch…. I washed my hands, not rinsed them. Back to the paper towel dispenser. It works too. Only, it issues 2 inches of paper at a time. Either I’m a compulsive paper towel girl who needs way more than the standard amount or the measurements on this demon contraption is off. So after a few hand waves I finally get enough paper towel. SWOOSH the toilet flushes. I jumped in all honesty…. it scared me.
I say out loud “I gotta get the F*CK out of here” and that’s exactly what I do. Two steps out the door and the paper towel machine goes off. My time in a public restroom will never be the same.
It is about that time…. time to use a stronger deodorant, thicker lotion and multi-funtional weave…. Its about to be summer. But more importantly it is time to finally shed my winter gut, yes I know I have had it for a few winters and summers to match but this year is different. This year I am going to be in a two piece bikini if it kills me. And it just might. I hate working out so I decided to alter my food intake, Continue reading
