Hello Mr. & Mrs. Who?

 
 
 
Hi Ms. Jackson- you know who you are!  This week’s topic is Part II of our friendly debate, “When is the right time to legally change your last name after getting hitched.” 
Ask yourself, is it a sign of being submissive as a wife or is it just plain, old tradition?

Tell the Truth Tuesday About Committed Relationships



When you reach a certain age in life, as a woman there are things on your bucket list that no matter what must happen.   Every six months, you glance at your list, only to be emotionally upset to find that the box next to “Mr. Right” still hasn’t been checked.

You are not alone.  

Relationships are one of the #1 things we associate happiness with.  And you’re likely guilty of attaching some sort of time limit like a specific age as to when it must happen.

Find out my response to this week's Tell the Truth question: Is it a bad thing that I feel lonely and unhappy that I’m not in a committed relationship?

SPECIAL DELIVERY: BLUSH BUZZ

_________________________________________________________________
HEALTHY PLEASURES

I’m a girl who loves easy recipes!  Last week, I had dinner at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel.  Here’s a pic I snapped of my delicious salad.

I’ll be trying this at my next gathering with the girls.  Instead of a boring house salad try this fruit lover’s salad.

It’s just 5 simple ingredients and you can use as much or little as you like: Fresh Spring Mix Lettuce, Tomatoes, Pear, Goat Cheese with Balsamic Vinaigrette. 

Oh did you know that tomatoes are considered a fruit.  And if you don’t like pears, try strawberries or watermelon.  Remember your food should be as colorful as your outfits, evoking feelings of boldness, creativity and yumminess.

Summer Hair Care 101

 



I am so lucky to have sisters to do my hair.  From my wraps, braids and weaves they are there to help me out.  My main hairstylist is my sister Lee, who tried a new updo that I’ve been nagging her about for the last few weeks.  It turned out to be the perfect hairstyle for my trip to Kings Dominion. I know I’ll be surely rubbing it in the whole for the summer :).  

Hair is one of the easiest ways to create a small ounce of self-happiness in your life! But in order to keep that happiness long after you've taken your hair out, it's essential to know the importance of hair care.
