Sorry

Remember when I made a blog post about getting my laptop back, well a few days later my son spilt water on my laptop and I had to take it right back to best buy! :( Unfortunately they were not able to fix it but I got a new one! So now I can blog my life away! I'm thinking about creating a new blog or revamping this one, not sure.

Almost 2 Months!?

WOW! The last time I made a post was on June 28th! My laptop was broke and I hate blogging from my phone, but now I have my laptop and I'm back! The blogging should begin soon :)

Marvin's Room Part 2.

So obviously everyone is remaking Marvin's Room! I'm starting to lose count of how many rooms Marvin has! Chris Brown dropped his own version of Marvin's Room today and Drake finally released a video for his version of Marvin's Room!

Marvin's Room (Official Video) - Drake


Marvin's Room - Chris Brown

Finally Famous

Big Sean who? I had no idea who this man was -_- but I’m glad I found out because his album is AMAZING! "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" is currently my fav song on Big Sean's album

Marvin's Room

Drake released a new song called "Marvin's Room", a week after he released it JoJo made her own version to Marvin's Room. While browsing the web I found another version of Marvin's Room by Teyana Taylor. Which song do you like better!? Marvin's Room, Marvin's Room (Can't Do Better), or Her Room.

Marvin's Room - Drake (Orginial Version)


Marvin's Room (Can't Do Better)- JoJo


Her Room - Teyana Taylor


At first I fell in love with JoJo's version, but as of now I'm feeling Teyana Taylor's version.

9 Days Later

I've been M.I.A for 9 Days! Who missed me!? My laptop was broken, thanks to my son, but now it's fixed and I'm back! I don't have much to blog about right now but I will later on...Stay Tuned!

Bestfriend Text Messages

I decided to text my sister/BFF tonight and as usual we talked about everything. She always knows what to say, but tonight she blew me away...I couldn't help but to cry. 

"You're a great person with a wonderful heart. You're really one in a million. You've been here for me through my toughest days and you're the reason I smile on my brightest days. I want you to spend more time making yourself happy, stop searching for ways to make others happy. You always say you go above and beyond for the ones you love - so do me a favor - let someone go above and beyond for you. You need to receive the same type of love you give everyone else. You deserve the world, don't ever settle for less."

...This is exactly what I needed to hear tonight.

Random Midnight Thoughts. . .

Being in a relationship is not a walk in the park, but it's not that complicated either. Communication, respect, loyalty, and honesty is all you need to be in a healthy relationship. Arguments will occur in a relationship, it's natural, but with communication anything can be worked out. Being in a relationship requires two people to have respect for each other. If you ever do anything that hurts your significant other, even if you don't understand why your actions has hurt him/her, accept that your actions has hurt him/her and change. We can't always understand why someone feels a certain way about things, but we can respect our partner's feelings and avoid hurting him/her again in the future. Loyalty and honesty has always played a big role in my life. If a person can't be loyal and honest there's no point in that person being in a relationship. 

Being in love is an amazing feeling. If we stop abusing the word and learn it's true meaning, there would be more sucessful relationships. Like I always say, love is not complicated...we just make it that way! 

Goodbye Exes

I'm not trying to be the one my exes remember. I could careless if I'm viewed as the "one that got away". I don't care to keep a connection w| anyone that was a part of past, because that's exactly what they are, "my past". When you're happy in your current relationship, the bs that happened during your past relationship is irrelevant. I've forgiven those that have done me wrong; why hold a grudge? I don't want to talk about what happened between us or how things could have been different, because we cannot rewrite the past, we can only accept it and move on...& that's exactly what I've done, moved on! Goodbye exes.

Dare To Be Different

If there's one thing I hate it's people that claim to be something that they're not! Why is it so easy to be a follower but so hard to be a leader. I listen to people say they're different, they don't want to be the same as the people they surround themselves with, but they end up doing the same things. I guess it's easier to be an imitation for some, but I live to be different.

Dare to be different! We don't have to walk down the same path as others to be accepted! If you can't be accepted by the ones you surround yourself w| for walking down your own path, then it's time to find some new friends.

The Lavon Lounge

I'm not sure how long I've been a tumblr member, but I finally found a blog that I love! The Lavon Lounge is what I've been looking for! This girl is amazing! I seriously just found her blog and I can't stop reading! I'm encouraging everyone to check her tumblr out, I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it as much as I am!

Visit: www.tialavon.tumblr.com & follow her 

Is It Just Me?

I've always been a very private person; if something is bothering me you won't know unless I tell you. I have close friends that don't really know much about my life, because there are things I rather not share about myself w| the whole world. If I tell you anything about my personal life that means I trust you; I trust that you won't tell my business or judge me. 

Even though I'm a very private person I can never keep quiet about my love life! I will never tell anyone anything too personal, but when I'm in love I always quote love quotes & show the world how much I love the person I'm with. If I could shout on top of a building "I love this man" I would! Lol. I won't put my love on public display 24/7, but when you're in love you're in love and it's hard to keep that part of your life completely private when you're truly in love with someone, especially when you've been in bad relationships in the past.

Is it just me or do you sometimes express your love the same way? 

Dear Ex

From time to time you cross my mind and a few questions arise. Like why you couldn't love me the way I needed you to when I gave you every reason, do you regret the things you did, and do you ever think of me? I admit everything wasn’t all bad there were some good memories, thats why I didn’t mourn the relationship but instead I mourned the possibilities. Well time has passed and life goes on with you or without but I want you to know you were a lesson learned and I thank you without a doubt because if you werent so blind to what was in front of you I would’ve settled instead of reaching my full potential.

I now understand that I am worth much more than you could’ve ever given me, I know for a fact that time heals all wounds and God has something unimaginable in store for me. I dont hate you because that would stunt my blessings. I just pray you love the next woman without hesitation or restriction just unconditionally. I hope I taught you a valuable lesson as well whether it was the importance of honesty or never taking anything in this life for granted.

Well I just wanted you to know that I’m doing so much better without you, not to be evil but to relay a message of hope for when life gets you down. You werent meant to have a permanent place in my heart but instead to play your part in this movie called Life and thats fine with me as it should be with you.

Sincerely,

A Free Woman

As you can tell based on the source I found this on tumblr. I decided to share it w you guys on blogspot because I feel like this girl spoke for everyone who always wanted to say a last few words to their ex. Everything she wrote couldn't have been written any better!

The Proposal

Every girl dreams about having a perfect wedding, but what about the perfect proposal? If a man plans on spending the rest of his life with a woman he better make sure he gives her a proposal she won't be able to refuse, and that's exactly what the  man in the video below did! 

Man Down

"Man Down" is the name of the 7th track on Rihanna's album "Loud". Man Down was not one of my favorite tracks but of course I was excited that she created a video for it. Not only was I excited, I was shocked! Listening to Man Down automatically made me think how could she make a video for this song? What would this video represent?

Now that I saw the video I love the song! Rihanna's video loudly represents rape. I think it was a good idea that she used her song to help give rape victims a voice, but I don't agree with her shooting the man that raped her in the video, I think it sends a bad message. What do you think?

June!

After I finished posting "Birthday Blues" I realized today is the first day of June! Can someone please tell me where May went!? Time really does not wait on anyone! I hope everyone enjoyed the blessings of May, hopefully June will bring us many more!

Birthday Blues

For the past week everyone has been asking me the same question, "how was your birthday?" To be honest with you I'm getting tired of answering this question. I know I shouldn't get aggravated they're just asking a question, but because my 21st was not what I expected it to be I don't want to talk about it!

I think turning 21 turned me into a bitter person lol. I feel like I always go above and beyond to make the ones I love happy but no one (well two people did) was willing to do the same thing for me. To be honest my feelings were hurt that only two people went out their way to try to make my birthday special. I hope I don't sound like a spoiled brat lol, I just wanted the same treatment I give everyone else "/

Even though my birthday sucked, I got to see another day! That's the greatest gift I received! So far no birthday has topped my 19th birthday, hopefully next year will!

Fashionista?

What exactly is a Fashionista? Can someone please answer this ? for me. I hear so many people say that they’re a “fashionista” and it drives me insane. Half of the people that say it, in my opinion couldn’t put a descent outfit together if their life depended on it.

Make-Up & Lies

When I was in High School my teacher told my class to write a poem. She wanted our poem to be a mouthpiece for our heart. When she asked us to write a poem I was not excited; I was never a fan of writing poems. I can write an essay on any topic but I HATE writing poems. To cut a long story short, tonight I was cleaning my closet and I found the poem I wrote for that class. I don't think it's poem material lol but I know many girls can read my "poem" and relate to it. I wish I could remember how old I was when I wrote this!

As I look at myself in the mirror I wonder what make-up will I wear today. I have to find something beautiful; something that will conceal the pain that I hide inside, because to the world I'm perfect and that's a lie I'm not ready to reveal. I begin to put on my eyeliner, now no one will know that these beautiful eyes cried a river last night. I begin to put on my lipstick, now no one will know these lips cried God why me? I'm almost done, I look amazing! Now no one can see the real me. No one can see the girl that's a victim of a thousand lies. No one can see the girl that cries her eyes out at night. No one can see the girl with the broken heart. My make-up is my best friend, the secret to all my lies.

...I remember when I finished writing this poem I put it in the back of my notebook and end up writing a poem about fairytale because I thought this poem was too deep.

What's New!?

Ok! So I haven't blogged for a week! I've been extremely busy! The 18th was the last day of classes so I had to make sure all my assignments were done on time. Even though the last day of classes were over on the 18th I still have so much to do! I will be a free woman May 27th...I can't wait!!

Dear Broken Hearts

We get our hearts broken because we always give more than we receive. We fall hard and our expectations are always high! We spend so much of our time trying to make someone happy that we sometimes forget about our own happiness. To all the broken hearts out there, spend more time loving yourself. If he/she is not capable of giving you what you're capable of giving him/her then they're not worth your tears. Moving on is easier said then done, but with every broken heart there's someone special out there waiting to show you the true meaning of love.

Procrastination

I'm not suppose to be blogging right now, but I'm getting annoyed with all this homework. I want to relax for like 10 mins lol (PROCRASTINATION). I miss my baby so much! I know if I was talking to him right now he would be telling me to do my homework. He probably wouldn't talk to me until I completed all my assignments. That's exactly what I need, some motivation!

Hiatus

This week I'm putting my social life on hold! I have a HUGE "To-Do" list to complete! I want to try to finish as much as I can by Wednesday. Spring semester will be over in two weeks and I've been doing good in all my classes and I would hate to fall off! Again wish me luck :)

Family

Looking at my family, especially my Grandma, I understand why we are so strong. My grandmother continues to keep my family together no matter what. She's a true example of a God fearing woman. I called her tonight and poured out my soul to her. We talked about everything. She gave me advice and told me to close my eyes and we prayed. Doing this made me feel much better, which made me realize it's time I get my life closer to God.

Prayers

They say God answers all prayers, well I hope he answers mine. My uncle has cancer and he's been doing ok! But tonight he was admitted to the hospital and my aunt called and said he's not doing well. I've been dealing with a lot lately and this is something that I didn't want to hear, especially not tonight. I feel really bad because I've only seen him once since I found out he had cancer and now I'm being told he's not doing well. Visiting hours are over and I won't be able to see him until tomorrow. I hate dealing with death and I hope I won't have to deal with it anytime soon. I posted this on my blog because I wanted to share an important life lesson that I learned tonight. Life is short and unpredictable, therefore don't dwell on the past. Cherish the moments you share with the ones you love and live everyday like it's your last. To everyone that visits my blog please keep my uncle in your prayers.

19 More Days!

I'm turning 21 in 19 more days and I'm so excited! I decided that I'm going to party my ass off and go to Atlantic City! I really had my heart set on going to Italy but I think I need to do more research & planning before I go there! Everyone is telling me I should go to Miami or Las Vegas, but I'm not interested in those places. I just want to have fun and be surrounded by the people that I love :)

Keeper

"You worked hard to get it, Work harder to keep it"

I had a conversation with one of my close friends last night, and of course we start talking about love and relationships. He told me that he recently broke up with his girlfriend, I was really surprised because they always seemed happy. As we got deeper into our conversation he began to explain the problems in their relationship. Basically the issues was that his ex girlfriend worked hard to get him but didn't work hard to keep him. When he said this I automatically understood why he had to break up with her. Usually, when you first meet someone they say and do things to impress you and prove to you that they're different. Before you get into a relationship with that person he/she gives you many reasons as to why you should be with him/her. Once that person gets into a relationship with you they no longer do the things that they did to get you. Listening to my friend talk about his problems helped me understand why so many relationships fail. Everyone (well not everyone) wants to be in a relationship but no one wants to work hard to stay in a relationship. No relationship is perfect but if it's worth it then do what you have to do to keep your significant other, because once he/she is gone you'll be the one left with regrets. 

New Blog

I'm thinking about creating a new blog! I love this blog and I love talking about love and random things, but there are other things that hold my interest. I love having conversations about politics and history, so I've decided that I want to create a blog that will cover those subjects. I've been thinking about doing this for a long time, but I wasn't sure if it was a good idea. How many people do you know that will want to visit a blog about politics and history? Not many. I no longer care about how many views I'll get, I'm going to do it because I want to! Hopefully I'll get the chance to teach people new things and open their eyes to life! Wish me luck :) 

P.S. I haven't created my new blog yet but when I do I'll post the link on my tumblr and here as well

Fussing

I believe arguments can completely change a relationship. Arguments can make a relationship better or worse. In my situation I feel like arguments have made my relationship better. The arguments that I've had in my relationship taught me a lot. I've learned how much of a brat I am. I always want things to go my way, and when they don't all hell breaks loose. I also realized that just because I feel a certain way doesn't make me right, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I learned that I have to respect my significant other wishes, even if I don't agree or understand them. I can honestly say that I'm growing wiser! I'm starting to realize when I'm wrong without someone telling me that I am. I know no relationship is perfect but I can see mine growing to become stronger than it already is! 

First Day of Class

Today is the first day of class! Spring break is officially over :( I'm not excited but school is almost over so that's a plus! I hope everyone enjoys their day :) 

Spring Break Come Back!

I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of Spring Break! My spring break went by way too fast! All I can remember is packing my bags getting ready to go away and now I'm home! Tomorrow I go back to school...Let the hard work begin! :(

Rambling

I don't feel like I belong to my generation! I don't fit in! My morals and beliefs are different from the people I surround myself with. I look at my friends and see what they want in life, then I look at what I want & sometimes I wish that I could want the same things. To be honest with you I wish I was the type of female that likes to party. I wish I could get excited about finding a new dress to go to an upcoming event. I wish that life was as simple as my friends make it seem. I wish that I could live in the moment and talk about the new guys that I've met, but I can't. Sometimes I feel like being Brittany is so complicated! I don't care about dating new guys, or "keeping my options open". I don't care about going to parties and hanging out every weekend. I constantly think I have one life to live and I have no idea when it will be taken from me so I have to get as close to perfect as I can. I want to enjoy my life with one man. I want to enjoy my life working hard to become successful. I feel like I'm rambling, oh well! But I wish love, marriage, and success meant more than it does today. I wish it was easier for me to get my life closer to God. I want three things and that's to be a woman of God, a happy marriage, and success. I know I'm young, but is there a verse in the bible that says you have to be a certain age to live your life this way or you have to be a certain age to receive these things? 

Spring Break!!

I am so excited that spring break is finally here! I have a lot of homework to do but at least I'll have a long break to complete all my assignments and some time to relax! I don't think anyone understands how tired I am! This spring break I'm going to get a lot of rest and hang out with the people I love...Sounds like a lot of fun :) 

December

When Olivia was apart of G-Unit I did not like her music! Watching her on Love & Hip-Hop and listening to some of her new music has turned me into a fan! I love her new song Decemeber :)

My Weekend!

My weekend was filled with books and the noise of my nails hitting my computer keyboard! I read three books in one day and typed so many papers that I never want to see a book or a writing assignment for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, I will have many weekends like this weekend, but I don't mind, I know in the end it will all pay off.

Have You Ever?

Have you ever loved someone so much that their happiness meant more to you than your own? 

Have you ever loved someone so much that you would risk it all for their love?

Have you ever loved someone so much that you couldn't imagine life without them? 

My best friend asked me the above ?s tonight and I answered yes to each one. My happiness is very important to me but as I've always been told I'm a very selfless person when it comes to the ones I love. Knowing that my significant other is happy means the world to me, because when he's not happy I'm not happy. What's the point of being in love if you're not willing to take risk? Love lies in the hearts of the fearless, and that's exactly what I am, fearless. I know if my relationship came to an end I would have to move on with my life but it's still hard to imagine my life without him. Answering these questions made me realize that after all we've been through I am still head over heels in love with him. These questions made me realize why I fell in love with him in the first place, and it reminded me of the important role he plays in my life. 

...The End :) 

No Freedom

This week I will be a slave to my school work! I have 3 papers to write that are due on Tuesday...Ugh! I'm not looking forward to another week filled with school work. The life of a college student sucks sometimes! 

New Music

I'll be honest with you guys, I don't have the best taste in music, but my taste in music has improved thanks to my love. This guy listens to everything! He's constantly giving me something new to listen to. Yesterday he put me on to "The Weeknd: House Of Balloons" & "Sailing Souls By Jhene Aiko", I've been listening to these mix-tapes non-stop! Right now I'm listening to "My Mine" by Jhene Aiko, I love this song! You guys should take the time to listen to these mix-tapes you won't be disappointed!

Love Quote By Bob Marley

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. she loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.

Broken Hearts

Quick Blog Post: Tumblr and blogspot is the perfect place to read about people's love life lol . When I read about love I expect to read stories filled with happiness and excitement, but lately the stories I've been reading are filled with broken hearts. Even when I talk to my close friends about love they always sound miserable. I thought looking for love or being in love was suppose to be a blissful experience; I guess love has become another word that we all abuse.

Tragedy

Quick Blog Post: How long will this beef between Lil Kim & Nicki Minaj last? It's so annoying now! There goes the duet I was hoping would be made in the near future! Lol

Far From Perfect

My relationship is far from perfect but I would not give it up for the world. We argue about bullshit and laugh at things that make no sense. He gets mad at me and I get mad at him. We tease each other and make jokes that other people would find inappropriate. Our relationship is a roller coaster ride, we have our ups and downs. Despite our differences he makes me smile. If I tried to stay mad at him for 24 hours it would be impossible! I love when he tells me I'm beautiful, he has this way of making me feel like "I'm the only girl in the world". Making him happy has become apart of my daily agenda. He's more than someone I can call mine, he's my best friend. He's the person I run to when I feel like my life is falling apart (he's a great listener). He's the one I tell all my secrets to, he's my walking diary. We've been through so much, we have taken so many risk, yet we are still standing strong. I want this forever :)

Social Networks & Relationships

Lately, on Twitter and Facebook I've been reading a lot of tweets and status updates about ruined relationships. These people claim that Twitter and Facebook are one of the reasons they are no longer with their significant other. How many of us believe that social networks ruin relationships? I believe that social networks introduce us to new people, people that we wouldn't normally talk to in person. I also believe that social networks introduce us to new temptations; we are going to meet people that we might be attracted to and read things that we wouldn't normally hear about, but I do not believe that social networks ruin relationships. A lot of people get on social networks and forget about the respect that they should have for themselves and their significant other. I  frown upon people that know their in a relationship but get on social networks, especially Twitter, sharing thoughts that shouldn't be shared to the whole world; no one needs to know that you're horny, or the things you like or want to do in your bedroom (keep that to yourself). If you have respect for your significant other, a social network should not be the reason your relationship is falling apart. How hard is it to meet new people and be able to keep your conversations appropriate? How hard is it for people to join a social network and behave as if their in a relationship? To the people that blame social networks for their relationship problems, It's not social networks that are ruining your relationship, it's your significant other; he/she obviously has no respect for you or your relationship.

One Night Stand

When I first bought Keri Hilson's new album, "No Boys Allowed (Deluxe Edition)" I fell in love with every track! I'm so excited that she finally made a video for one of my favorite songs on her album, "One Night Stand"! I posted the video below...Enjoy :)

The Right Time

Is there a "right time" to commit? 

In many relationships the same problem exist, there's always that one person that's scared to commit. He/she will say things like "I'm too young to settle down" or "we're moving too fast". Every time you think you're making progress in your relationship he/she will bring you back to stage one. Most men/women are scared to commit or become too serious in a relationship because they've either been hurt in the past or they're not mature enough to handle a serious relationship. So when exactly is the right time to commit? I believe that a person should commit when he/she feels like they have found the right one. If you find someone that loves you unconditionally and you can not imagine losing that person then it's time to stop holding back, it's time to commit. Some people go years looking for true love and never find it; if you're lucky enough to find true love don't let looking for the "magic time to commit" ruin your relationship. You'll never find the magic time to commit because it doesn't work that way.

"Old-Fashioned"

One of the most difficult things to deal with being a 20 year old is being "old-fashioned". I'm not considered old-fashioned when it comes down to my taste in music or the way I dress, when it comes down to those things I'm considered a "normal" 20 year old. When it comes down to sex and dating men, everyone considers me "old-fashioned". Being told that I act like a "grandma" or that "I need to live my life" has become really annoying to hear all the time! When you don't live your life the way everyone around you is living theirs you're considered "different" or better yet "old-fashioned". I don't believe that I have to have casual sex to fit in; I also don't believe that I should be a "player" because I'm too young to be trying to settle down. Recently, I was told that I'm too beautiful to be giving one guy all my time, when I could be getting whatever I wanted from other guys as well; I was also told that I should not look at sex with multiple partners as something negative, I should enjoy my life. Hearing these things pissed me off to the point where I couldn't even respond to the bullshit advice that I was given. I enjoy being with one person, that's just me. I enjoy being in a relationship, I've always been that way. I have never been the type of person to mess with multiple people at once and I don't respect people that do. I'm tired of hearing people tell me that I'm too young to want to settle down. If I'm too young to settle down then I'm too young to be sleeping around!

...BTW I don't consider myself "old-fashioned", I just have morals and believe in living my life a certain way.

Female Drama

Female drama is one thing I refuse to deal with in a relationship. I can not stress how annoying it is to argue with your significant other about other women. I believe that when you're in a relationship you should always feel secure! You should never feel like another woman has the power to destroy your relationship. I hate when women approach other women about their man, I think that's unacceptable. If you have to step to another woman about the bullshit that your man is doing then it's time to move on. I believe that it is your partner's duty to make it clear to "other women" where you stand. How can you expect another woman to respect you and your relationship if your partner shows no respect for you or the relationship he has with you? The only person that owes you their loyalty is your significant other not "other women".

Addiction!

Quick Post: I've realized that I have another addiction, online shopping! Sometimes when I'm in the house I get really bored and when I get bored I go online to look at clothes; I always tell myself that I'm not going to buy anything I'm just going to look, but I always end up buying something! Today I spent $190 buying clothes! smh

March 7th 2008

3 years ago a King was born; he stole my heart with his beautiful eyes and big smile; I looked at him and whispered "I'm your mommy". I could not believe that this was the little boy that lived inside of my stomach for 9 months! I was amazed that this beautiful creation happened inside of me! I knew at that very moment that I would do everything in my power to give him the life he deserved. Chris is the little boy that I can call mine; the little boy that I get to wake up to every morning; the little boy that motivates me daily. Christopher is the little boy that gives me life. Happy Birthday King Chris!

Love Quote

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

-St. Augustine from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin

...I read this quote and automatically thought about my siginificant other; There are times when we argue so much that I feel like I'm going insane, but being in a relationship requires work! The feeling of being in love is amazing but staying in love is hard work. No matter how hard things get I've realized that our roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that we should ever part!

Tumblr

I found this picture on tumblr and thought I should share it with you guys on blogspot. When I first saw this picture I could not stop laughing; the funny thing about this picture is that I can name so many woman that can relate to it. I HATE when women complain about wanting a good man, especially if they had one or had the chance to be with one. We all know that one girl that wines constantly about wanting to be with someone that understands her heart, wanting someone that will love her unconditionally, or finding her perfect man; the same girl that complains about wanting all of these things is the same girl that had a chance to recieve it. We all know that one girl that had the chance to be with Mr.Perfect and did everything in her power to push him away for someone that did nothing but constantly break her heart; when she finally realizes that she had someone good she trys to get Mr. Perfect back, but guess what? It's too late.

Busy. . .

I know I haven't been blogging as much as I usually do but I have been so busy lately with school and my son! All my courses are writing intensive so I'm always busy writing a paper; my son's birthday is on the 7th and I'm trying to plan his birthday party that I expect to have at the end of March. I'll try my best to do a quick post when I don't have a chance to blog!

Sale!

Quick Post: Hollister and Abercrombie &Fitch are having a sale! The coats that they usually sale for $100 and $150 is on sale for $24 and $38. I know winter time is almost over but it's still cold outside and if you can't wear it this year theres always next year!There's no such thing as having too many coats!

Fashion Fridays (Abercrombie & Fitch)

So my "Fashion Friday" post is 2 days late! I posted pictures of what I bought this week! Hope you like it! (This is quick post)

Military Boots from Aldos $130 (after taxes)

I bought a sweater named Julia and a new spring coat named Megan by A&F

Space [&] Time

"I need my space", "We need some time apart"

How many of us are guilty of saying these things every time our relationship becomes to difficult to handle?

If you answered yes, then answer this question, Is space and time apart necessary?

Apart of me believes that it is necessary because it gives two people time to miss each other; it also gives two people time to work out things on their own. When I try to answer this ? I always contradict myself because I also believe that it's not necessary. If you want a unbreakable relationship you should be able to work out your problems together; if you start to get in the habit of working things out on your own then you'll never be able to overcome anything together; if you can't overcome obstacles in your relationship with your partner then being in a relationship with that person is pointless. No matter how many times I try to answer this question I can never come up with a clear answer...What do you guys think? Is it necessary to ask for space when things become difficult in your relationship?

Unrealistic Expectations?

Tell me I'm beautiful when I'm experiencing my most ugliest days...Tell me you love me and all my imperfections...Send me a handwritten note that says "You mean the world to me"...Build me back up when the world is tearing me down...Make me smile through my tears...Handle my heart with care...Love me like you've never been hurt...Love me like you'll never see me again...Spoil me with your love because the material things are not visible to my heart...

Are these wants realistic? Is it possible to receive all of this and more from a relationship? My answer is yes! You just have to find the right person. I think love is a powerful emotion, anything and everything is possible when it comes to love.

Fashion Friday (Shopping Day)

Today I decided to do some online shopping at Ralph Lauren! They're having a sale called "Last Chance Sale"! I bought my son 3 pairs of sneakers, 4 polos, & 1 hooded rugby for $218.70, after sale taxes was added it came up to $228.27. I posted pics below

Flaws and All

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." 

The above quote is one of my favorite quotes by Marilyn Monroe; it explains everything that everyone should expect from their relationship. You should want to be in a relationship where your significant other is able to accept you for who you are; someone that's going to understand that you're human, you're far from perfect. When you find someone that has the ability to look pass your imperfections and still be able to say "I love you", you have found a keeper. In the words of Marilyn Monroe "if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." 

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope everyone has a beautiful day, filled with romance and love!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day has to be one of my favorite holidays; I love watching people shop for their loved ones, going above and beyond just to see their special someone smile. I despise people that hate on Valentine's Day, their main line is always "V-Day should be everyday", that line grinds my gears! I know when you're in a relationship your partner should do nice things for you all the time, but V-day is a little reminder to remind you of how special you are even if you hear it all the time. I think I enjoy the holiday as much as I do because I'm a hopeless romantic, what's better than a day dedicated to love! I don't mind being spoiled on Valentine's Day with expensive gifts (lol), but I prefer gifts that comes from the heart; instead of buying me a card make me one, the same goes for gifts. To the people that hate on V-day, you either lack creativity to make that one day special than the rest or bitter because you don't have anyone to spend V-Day with. To the people that love Valentine's Day as much as I do, HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY!, have a beautiful and romantic day tomorrow.

Fashion Fridays (Perfume)

I forgot to do a "Fashion Fridays" post yesterday (bettter late than never...right? lol), so I decided to do one today. Im dedicating this Fashion Friday to my favorite singer Rihanna; Rihanna has a new perfume collection for women called Reb'l Fleur. Reb'l Fleur is sold at MACY's, you can get the 3.40z of perfume for $59.99 and the 1.7oz for $49.99; MACY's also sells her Reb'l Fleur body lotion for $30.00. I have't been to Macy's in a while, I can't wait to go so I can start smelling like Rihanna! lol

New Year Resolutions

I know we're already a month and some days into the new year but I finally know what my new year resolutions will be this year. I didn't make any new year resolutions at the beginning of the year because I didn't think I needed any. I didn't think I needed any because I never realized any of my problems until last night. I posted a few of my new year resolutions below!

Forgive & Forget
I'm not a forgiving person and I hate that about myself; I hold on to things (the smallest things) for a long time. Not being able to forgive people and move on from the past has affected a lot of my relationships with the people I love. I know in order for God to forgive me for my sins, I have to be able to forgive people for their wrong doings towards me. I wouldn't want anyone to hold a grudge against me so I shouldn't do it to others.

Focus on School
I've always been a good student but, I could be an excellent student if I worked harder. I realized that the time I spend focusing on other things can be time used to focus on school.

Get To Know My City
I've been living in New York for 20 years and I feel like a tourist! New York offers their residents so much and I haven't taken the time to experience it all. I want to get out more, meet new people, and explore new areas around my city.

Man-Up
I have no idea when I became so sensitive! Lately the smallest things bother me and I'm starting to hate that about myself. I don't want anyone to feel as if they have control over my emotions.

Bilingual
I want my son to be able to speak more than one language; this is going to be my New Years resolution every year until my son is speaking a language I can't understand lol.

...Trust me this list will get longer!

Miguel - Sure Thing

"Sure thing" by Miguel has to be one of my favorite songs out right now! I bought his CD a few months ago and fell in love with every track on his album! I posted the video for his song "Sure Thing" below...Enjoy!

Superbowl Sunday

As you all know, The Jets didn't make it to the Superbowl. Do I care? Even though I am a New Yorker I could careless. I'm not a big fan of football (wait! I'm not a fan of sports period). The only thing that I know about football (thanks to my boyfriend) is that a touchdown is worth 7 points and a field goal is worth 3 points. Don't get me wrong, I am excited about Superbowl Sunday because people always cook a lot of food for this event lol. I won't be watching the game but I will be watching all the food that I put on my plate tonight! For all my steeler fans I posted a little something special for you guys!

Photo of The Week [Strinky Dink Artwork]

I don't know much about art but I thought this artwork was really cool, especially because it was done by kids! I also like that their artwork represents religion.

Love

I found this verse in the bible and it spoke volumes to me, so I thought I should post it on my blog!

“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

Reading this gave me a better understanding of what love is and what love isn't. It also helped me have a better understanding of my past and current relationships.

Fashion Fridays (Shoes)

I can’t walk in heels if my life depended on it, but I would die trying to walk in these! I love them and trust me I’m going to buy them! I found this picture on tumblr. If you're intrested in buying a pair you can purchase them at Bakers or www.bakersshoes.com

The Creep (feat. Nicki Minaj)

Homemade Prince Charming

This is a old post from my old blog, hope you like it.

In today's society we have two type of guys, we have the asshole and Mr. Prince Charming (at least that's how I classify them).

Every female has come across "the asshole" once upon a time, we all have. When we meet "the asshole" we are automatically attracted to him (I'm speaking from prior experience); Sometimes we are attracted to this guy because of his physical appearance, while other times we are attracted to him because we want to be considered "special" (You'll understand what I mean as you continue to read).

When females meet "the asshole" he's the way he is because of past experiences, he wasn't raised the right way, he has no morals, or he hasn't matured as yet.

Many females believe that they're misunderstood by the people they're surrounded by (that can be true sometimes), so they try to figure them out because they think that one day this guy can be their "Prince Charming".

Many females believe that if a guy has done every other female wrong (including her) but decided to change his attitude for her (which takes forever), she's special; so she puts all her time and energy into him and their relationship and does whatever she can to get him to change.

What she doesn’t realize is the time she has wasted trying to change one guy to be considered “special“, a “Prince Charming” has passed her by. If she would have went for “Prince Charming” there wouldn't be a need for her to invest so much time into trying to turn him into her perfect guy, because he's already perfect (or close to it).

She would't have had to endure pain trying to get someone to change for her. "Mr. Prince Charming" would automatically consider her “special”; he would do anything to make her feel and understand how special she is.

At the end she would realize that she’s not special, she just tolerated something a next woman wouldn't tolerate.

What I’m trying to tell all my female readers is very clear (in case you don't understand), STOP wasting your time, STOP tolerating bullshit, STOP allowing men to hurt you, it’s not WORTH it.

"Prince Charming" does exist (despite what some people think), there’s no need to try to make your own. No one wants to go through pain and much more just to get a guy to change for them. No one wants a homemade prince charming.

Sundays

I thought about another special post! Every sunday I'm going to post a photo of the week, hopefully I'll find some creative photos to post every sunday!

My favorite singer, Rihanna; She looks stunning in this pic.

Failed Relationships

I was on the phone with one of my friends today and she asked a question that most of us can’t answer, why do relationships fail? I don’t know how most of you would answer this, if you could, but I think relationships come to an end because of unrealistic expectations, trust issues, insecurities, and bad communication skills.

Unrealistic Expectations
Many people get into relationships thinking it will solve all their problems (come on we all know that is not realistic). Some people get into relationships expecting everything to happen the way they want it to, but life doesn't work like that, neither does relationships. We put so much time and energy into a relationship that if things don't go as planned we begin to feel betrayed and take it out on our partners. The way someone is raised as a child can also lead to having unrealistic expectations in a relationship; you see an example of true love from your parents and expect to have the same type of relationship that they had. Many people also look for someone to fulfill their needs and when those needs are not fulfilled they are no longer happy in their relationship.

Trust Issues
It's impossible to have a relationship without trust. Trust is the foundation of a relationship; without trust your relationship is doomed from the beginning to the end. It's hard to build trust if your heart was once broken, but we have to try to leave the past in the past to build a better future (easier said than done, trust me I know). There's no way to avoid having trust in a relationship; if you can't trust your partner that's a sign, it's over, no need to be in a relationship without trust.

Insecurities
*Sigh* We all have insecurities, at least I know I do (I'm not ashamed to admit that). Having insecurities can be the worst thing to have in a relationship. If you're not secure with where you stand in a relationship, how can you have a successful relationship? You're always going to question his/her love; You'll have doubts and it will be hard to have faith in a future with him/her. I think insecurities go hand in hand with trust issues (sometimes).

Bad Communication Skills
How can you have a relationship when you can't communicate with each other? That's impossible. I want to feel comfortable expressing my feelings to my partner; I want my partner to be able to tell me anything. I look at my boyfriend as if he's my diary, so communication is a must for me. Without communication you can't solve your relationship problems, and if you can't solve your problems that will be the end of your relationship. Communication makes relationships so easy.

...I think another reason relationships fail is because people have to have a title. I must say I'm guilty of this. Even though I like having a title placed on my relationship, I'm willing to work to keep my title. Many people jump in a relationship but they're never willing to work for their relationship. Some people work so hard for the title but not for the relationship. Anything worth having is worth fighting for and let's be real some of us are not fighters (I am!).

There are so many reasons why relationships fail, and I don't think I'll be able to completely answer that question with one blog post. The next time one of your relationships come to an end, ask yourself why and try your best not to repeat the same mistakes, I know I won't.

Tumblr

Recently I have decided to make a blog on tumblr; I don't know why, but tumblr seemed like an interesting blogging website. I think I've been a tumblr member for a week now, but I'm not sure if I like it that much. I think tumblr is cool because you get to re blog, interact more with your followers, and there's a lot of people using tumblr instead of blog spot (that I know), so I get more followers, which means more people view my blog. The reason why I'm not such a big fan of tumblr is because it doesn't seem like a real blogging website; it seems like a wesbite for people to post pictures; Tumblr also reminds me of myspace and twitter. Don't get me wrong I love the pictures that are posted on the blogs on tumblr, but blogging isn't really about posting pictures, is it? I want to read something that I can relate to, something interesting, something that will make me think, and I haven't found that on tumblr; so for now I'll use tumblr as a way to get more people to view my blog on blog spot.

Fashion Fridays

I decided to make a special post every friday to try to keep my blog active; every friday I will post things I'm intrested in buying or things that I've already bought. I'm thinking about making a special post for everyday of the week so stay tuned!

Fashion Fridays (Bathing Suits)

I know today isn't friday, but I decided to post my first fashion friday post to give you a taste of fashion fridays. I'm thinking about buying these bathing suits, since I can’t find the one I bought 2 years ago for $80. One cost $120 and the other bathing suit cost $126; I live in NY so don’t forget taxes (YIKES!)

All is Fair In Love and War

— Proverb Meaning:
1. This idiom is used to say that where there is conflict; people can be expected to behave in a more vicious way.
2. People in love and soldiers in wartime are not bound by the rules of fair play.
3. When you are in love or waging war, you are allowed to be deceitful in order to get what you want.

Dear Future Husband

I’m not easy to love; I’m really complicated, I get jealous sometimes, I have insecurities because of my past relationships, and I’m overly sensitive and emotional; but I promise you no woman will ever love you the way I can…Why? Because the love I have for you is unconditional and everlasting. So yeah, I might be complicated, but my love for you is far from complicated…Why? Because you made falling in love with you so easy…How? Because you gave me true love, with your kisses, protective hugs, and motivating words. When things get ruff all we’ll need is God, faith, determination, and love.

P.S. My heart could be anywhere in the world but it rather spend a lifetime with you.

Love,
Brittany

(I hope to give this letter to my future husband one day)

Questions of The Day?

Are relationships complicated?

I’ve been asking myself this question for a long time and I can’t figure it out! Sometimes I think being in a relationship is complicated, annoying, and frustrating; sometimes I think relationships aren’t all of the above, people just make them that way. When you’re in a relationship it’s no longer about you, it’s about you and your partner. Being in a relationship requires work and let’s be honest some of us aren’t hard workers. When you’re in a relationship you have to be open-minded, considerate and understanding of your partners feelings, which is HARD WORK. There’s no such thing as being selfish in a relationship. Relationships also require trust and communication; I’m able to communicate, but trusting someone other than myself is beyond complicated for me. Now I’m asking myself is it all worth it? (second ? of the day lol). That ? is easier for me to answer; when you’ve found someone that you truly love I guess it is. Hmm maybe relationships aren’t so complicated, I guess we just make them that way

The Body Mist

Victoria's Secret has a beauty line named "Body"; I bought "The Body Mist" today and fell in love. I love the way "The Body Mist" smells! I was so surprised that I found a body spray that I like! I'm not a fan of body sprays or perfumes, but I think I found my new scent! The 7.4 FL OZ is $20.00 and the 2.5 FL OZ is $10.00. I'm thinking about purchasing "The Body" lotion too!

She's Beautiful and He's Deliciously Handsome! Lol

My Fairytale

I found this picture on google a few days ago and I fell in love with it! I absolutely love Edward Cullen and Bella Swan (Twilight), and this picture made me love them more than I already did. Looking at this picture sums up everything I want from love. I know Twilight isn't real, but who wouldn't want the type of love that twilight describes to all its readers. I want to be able to look at a man the way Bella looks at Edward; I want someone to hold me the way he holds her, so I can feel protected from my biggest fears; I want to feel sparks every time we kiss (we as in my future husband and I). I want him to look at me like I'm the only girl in the world. I love how they're willing to take risks for love. Thinking about it, I do have someone that does all of these things for me. He makes me smile through my saddest days, he builds me up when I feel like the world is tearing me down. He's secretly my best friend (I can tell him my deepest darkest secrets). He's my everything and more! My very own Edward Cullen lol

Basic Bullshit

When Ciara first came out I fell in love with her. I loved her height, her shape, the way she danced, and of course her music. Her first 2 albums played over and over on my iPod. For some reason I never bought her 3rd album, not because I thought it was corny, I just didn't buy it. When her 4th album came out I decided I wasn't going to buy it, but yesterday I changed my mind. After listening to 11 tracks on her new album I was completely disappointed. Ciara told Pete Lewis of Blues & Soul magazine, that the album "is really about her trusting her instinct and going back to the R&B/urban basics in her music – like where she first started, in the days of "Goodies" and "1, 2 Step". Basic Instinct is far from where she first started; It's the worse album I've purchased on iTunes. I thought she was going to make a comeback (since she claimed she was going back to her roots), but obviously she didn't. Save your money and save your time, don't buy this album!

Bad Girls Club!

Less than an hour and "The Bad Girls Club" Season 6 will premiere! Yay! I am so excited. Last season was full of drama; I'm extra excited to see what will happen this season. My favorite season of BGC has to be season 2,3, and 4! I hope this season isn't filled with a whole bunch of "Natalie Nunn's wannabes". Tonight I expect to see women with their own personalities. I love the drama but I want to see more than fighting. Last season it was impossible to have a favorite member, everyday someone went home. If you never watch the BGC, which I find impossible, make sure you watch it tonight! I'm pretty sure you won't want to miss this!

Meet The Cast!

Natural Hair

There's a new trend going on, it’s called "Natural Hair". A lot of females are saying goodbye to their weaves/perms, and saying hello to natural hair. I'm a big lover of perms and weave, mainly weave. I went 3 years without a perm, which pushed me into wearing weave. To each is own, but natural hair is not for me. If I decide I don't want to wear weave anymore, I'll perm my natural hair. As of now I have permed my hair and I'm giving my extensions a break. I refuse to walk around looking like Celie from the color purple; I also think that fros or however u wear your hair when it is not permed always looks tacky. I'm being very judgmental right now, but hey this is my blog and I can say what I want!

3 Letter Word

Am I the only one that thinks sex is overrated!? Well if I am, SO WHAT! I hate that some females have lost morals that we once had years ago! I've never understood how some teenagers and young adults have so many sexual partners. Some females don't carry themselves with respect; sleeping around is the new trend. I enjoy sex; I enjoy sex as much as I do because I share those intimate moments with the person that I love. No, I didn't save myself for marriage, but I want to make sure that my husband doesn't end up sharing me with the world. If I was a man I would never want to marry a woman that has "been around". As women we need to realize there's more to us than sex; women have more to give a man than just her body. Do you realize that? because I sure do!

Hangover

Ugh! Hangovers are the worse! I never had one before yesterday, so when I woke up feeling sick and dizzy I thought I had eaten something bad. My stomach was killing me, I think I threw up four times. I ate eggs thinking it would make me feel better, but that just made the feeling in my stomach worse. Since I've never dealt with a hangover, google became my best friend. I googled "How to get rid of a hangover" and did everything that was listed on the website; an hour later I was feeling so much better. I would say I'm never drinking again, but I'll be lying; next time I plan on monitoring the amount of alcohol I consume in one night, I'm not trying to have another hangover (YES! it was that bad).

Happy New Year

Last night was filled with laughs, friends, family, and liquor. I got off of work at 9pm, went home, got my clothes and headed to my cousin's house. We watched 106 & party, while drinking and laughing at anything and everything. After we yelled 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!, we got dressed and took a cab to Club Gravity. Thanks to my cousin, I spent half of my night dancing and having fun in V.I.P. Thanks to those Long Island Ice Teas and whatever else I drank, I spent the other half of my night in the bathroom. For someone that drank as much as I did, I must say I handled myself pretty well. I did end up calling my love telling him how much I love him and kept him up all night, shame on me. I enjoyed this new year a lot! I normally stay home and drink egg nog, this year was completely different. I will continue to strive for success as much as I did in 2010, in 2011. This is a new year, so hopefully I will be blessed with some new and exciting adventures!

Here's 1 photo from last night, me and my twin cousin Jaleesa (that's my cousin Laurice in the back and the arm you see is my cousin Constance lol)
