Thursday Beauty: Three Homemade Masks

I've been MIA for a couple weeks now; basically I haven't posted since before Valentine's Day. No romantic story for you this year. I had to work. But before heading to work I bumped in to an old friend from high school and she is just as beautiful as she was then. She was always beautiful and I was always a little jealous but I loved her nonetheless. In fact, she was one of my best friends who actually helped me become the confident person I am today.
Well that was a little update from the past couple weeks. To make up for my lack of blog posts, I have found three homemade masks that you make from products in your kitchen.

Even If It Breaks Your Heart

Way back on the radio dial
A fire got lit inside a bright eyed child
Every note just wrapped around his soul
From Steel guitars to Memphis all the way to Rock n' Roll

Have you ever had that moment in your life when you realized you knew exactly what you were born to do? Or maybe that moment hasn't happened yet. Because I don't even know if I had that moment where I realized I wanted to own a business. I think my path has always changed as I was growing up but now I have one, okay, two goals in mind. Start a business and start a family. For me it doesn't matter the order as long as those goals are reached.

Monday Thoughts: Second Guessing

The last couple days I've been seconding guessing myself. I've been trying to convince myself not get too attached to someone I care about a lot and I don't know why because that person hasn't given me a reason to doubt our friendship. But lately I've been curious about his past and how that would affect our friendship. Curiosity sometimes gets the best of me and I start thinking of the worse possible things and I hate that. But then I remind myself that I've known this person for a long time, and no matter what happened when I wasn't part of his life, it doesn't change how I care about him.
So how come I've started to doubt? I don't want to doubt; I want to have faith in this rekindling friendship. Part of me knows he won't let me down because when he came back he told me I wouldn't have to worry about him ever leaving me. And he's been there for me ever since. I mean he would go out of his way to save me, whether it's physically or emotionally saving me, he's there. He is an amazing friend and I still don't understand why I'm second guessing my friend. Maybe cause I've been let down so many times before. Maybe I'm just waiting for it to happen.
That is not a happy thought.
Be Beautiful For You.

Friday: Second Chances; Abuse; Controlling Boyfriend

Please remember that my advice comes from my own experience and the experiences of others around me. I hope that everyone knows how much respect they deserve when it comes to relationships either with a boyfriend, girlfriend, friend or even parent. No one deserves to be disrespected in any way. No one deserves to be hit for any reason. I hope people learn to treat each other with kindness. It saddens me knowing that there are people out there that don't know how to get the help they need or they're afraid to get the help they need.

Chazzidyw Asked:
How many chances should you give your boyfriend?
My and my dude has been living together for 2 months. And he is very controlling and wants things to go his way all the time. We have had physical fights before. Once the police had to be called and after the altercation I forgave him and took him back. And he told me he was sorry and it would never happen again. I moved out and went to stay with a friend but I ended up moving back with my boyfriend. Since then we have had arguments and he called me a bitch. I got up and hit him and we started fighting again. That was my first time hitting him. Its like some days we have good days and sometimes we don't. I don't know if I want to leave and break up with him or give him another chance. I know that if I give him another chance the same things gonna happen again. The reason why I don't wanna break up is because I became kind of close with his family and I'm gonna miss them..Its gonna be hard to say goodbye. Also I don't wanna break up with him because I want to help him and be a friend to him. But he does not appreciate my kindness. Every time I try to talk to him about our problems he makes it seem like its not a big deal or say "well what are you gonna do about it." As if he refuses to change his ways. He is very rude also,and he talks about his ex in front of me all the time. 

Dear Chazzidyw,
My mom has told that no man, and I stress the word man, should ever call his girlfriend, wife, or even mother, a bitch. The second he calls you that is when you leave him because that's a word he used out of disrespect for you and no woman deserves to be disrespected. Do not stay with someone who disrespects you in anyway. If he does not appreciate you then you shouldn't be with him. If he hits you then you shouldn't be with him. If he controls you then you shouldn't be with him. Do you get where I'm going? I understand you are close to his family but if they're the only reason you're sticking with this guy then you should talk to them about his behavior. But honestly, this guy doesn't deserve anymore chances from you.

Thursday Beauty: Makeup Collection

I didn't blog last Thursday or Friday so I am making up for it today by showing my makeup collection. Now there isn't much but it's plenty for me.
Natural Makeup Look
I have three eye shadow palettes, two of them from Urban Decay and one from Too Faced. I usually use the Naked Palette or the Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection. I haven't used the other Urban Decay Palette in awhile. Colors kind of scare me but I'm trying to break from that. I'm very big on eyeshadow though because I wear glasses so I sometimes play up my eyes so they can be seen instead of hidden behind my glasses.
