SS'12: Pastels

I've never been one for pastels. They do not do anything for anyone's complexions. They just do not pop. But after a few years of this bright purple, neon green, etc phenomenon, I'm actually looking forward to some nice, neutral, gentle & calm, pastels! 

We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden

Not going to lie -- the shift in the weather, lack of sun, and beginning of school knocks me out as a contender for Happy Girl of the year. Despite that, I am now actively seeking ways to regain my joy and renew/rejuvenate myself.


blah, I know.


But in other news, I will start regularly updating the blog again!

"We are the choices we have made."

Put you up on game: The fooler initiative

Sitting in this miserable class, catching up on blogs, I ran across this:


"I don’t want to hear another word about your dreams.  I don’t wanna know about who your friends are. I don’t wanna work through your abandonment issues or your mama issues or the father you never knew. I don’t want to accompany you to work functions, or social functions. I don’t even want to talk to you anymore. I don’t want to hear one more solitary, ill-formed word out of your mouth. I don’t want to hear you butcher known euphemisms and epithets as though English weren’t your first language.
I don’t wanna hear you chew ice. I don’t wanna hear you sing in the shower. I don’t wanna see that elastic-indented skin around the tops of your ankles when you take your socks off.

Mean right?

I know.

I’ve out-assholed dating.

"

and boy did it sum up my feelings precisely, in fact, better than I could. To finish reading the post or the blog, click the hyper-link.

re-programmed

Back from my re-programming, re-charging vacation 

in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

I Found inspiration to press forward in 2012, and to continue on with my life motto of "Embrace Joy."

We learn so little from peace

Want.

nothing is for nothing

 I was faking me out of the me I would become.
The me that I see now.
The me that holds onto herself with both hands and all feet.
The me who must have love and give it.
The me who brings more to the table than good looks and a wet hole.
The me that is confident, and intelligent and filled to the brim with respect for me.
..  I like being what I like and what I like is all a part of what I am."

Jill Scott’s “Nothing is for Nothing”

bloggers do sequins better . . .

Paired this sequins dress with my new red suede wedges to add a pop of color and different texture to an otherwise blahhh all-black outfit
