As promised, here’s my VB. I am personally in love with the entire concept as well as my final product. You may not understand all of the images Iselected, but each and every picture means something to me and the vision I have for the future! And if you still haven’t sat down to make yours… what are you waiting for?
Mags used: Travel+Leisure, Cosmo, Essence, Ophrah, Martha Steward Living (Don't judge)

Put on Those Barely-There Panties Girl!
This post is for the ladies:
We all know what a chore it is to keep the downtown area… managed. I’ve always been one to try hair removal creams, razors, or heck, let it be. But recently, my MOTHER of all people has been trying to convince me to put my big girl panties on (or rather, shed those little girl undies) and get a wax. A full Brazilian wax.
Confession: I have a very ugly thought life. I take good things and make them bad, all in my head. I want the greatest things for myself and my life in my heart. But, what if it doesn’t pan out? Disappointment, rejection, let-down, and regret are some of the toughest emotions I’ve had to deal with in the short 20-something years of my life.
I’m a person that is fortunate, though, in that I know myself very well. I know what I want out of life in my heart, but I don’t allow myself to think about it in my head. Why? Precisely because I do not want to deal with all those feelings and emotions I mentioned earlier. But I got to thinking (as I often do)…
Could I be thwarting good things from happening to me because I refuse to think about what I REALLY want for fear of a let down? Seems like a cowardly way to live.
But that brought me to an even bigger question…
Can our Thoughts create our Reality? If so, I’m screwed. Hope is something I don’t do. So I thought on it and thought on it, and here’s what I came up with. Three things to consider, and then something to try:
Everyone’s single these days, but no one’s really single.
Talking. Dating. Kicking it. Hanging out. Friends. Friendlies.
What the F word does that all mean, and when did relations between men and women get so confusing?!
Why are women obsessed with defining or putting a name on the relations between themselves and men?
Confession: I’m as clueless about all of this as you probably are.
So you meet someone, a new friend we’ll say. Ya’ll hit it off, at least you think so anyway. The texting turns into late night phone calls, you get those butterflies every time you see that person’s name pop up on your phone screen, and you start thinking to yourself: this is pretty cool. You go on a few dates.. hold up… are yall dating?! That special friend starts making late night visits, and ya’ll even have spend the night parties. Wait… are ya’ll talking? Is this a relationship? Quit stressin and guessin and have a DTR.
You're gonna have to make it plain, ladies. But, sit him down until things are DETERMINED!
What’s that, you ask? DTR = Determine The Relationship. And let me be real, ladies, you’re probably going to have to be the one to initiate the conversation. We all know that men will do what you let them get away with. Play some of the cards in your hand. Bring it up if it’s pressing on your mind so that you can have PEACE of mind! But, let me warm you, the DTR may not always turn out like you want it to. Say he isn’t interested in anything more than what ya’ll already have? Say he actually want’s more than you do? Well, now you have some decisions to make. Point is, the ball is in your court. The DTR can do nothing but empower you and bring resolution to your life.
Remember girls, play the cards in your hand. USE THE DTR.
