It's okay to be a Diva on a Budget
This blog is strictly for those girls that love looking good and know for a fact that it doesn't take a arm and a leg to do so theses are a few cheap things and places that I recommend for you to look your best at what ever budget that your on. I'm going keep it real though something's are worth the splurge, but the secret to having money is spending as less as possible on things you want instead of actually needing.
If your one of those girls that don't believe in spending outrageous prices just because you have it in your bank account and the item seems to be the hottest thing on the market. Here's a secret the hottest thing on the market in the summer is old news during fall. So your basically trying to keep up with the Jones for one season.
It's okay to be a diva on a budget and who the heck said being wise about what you purchase and reclaimed it as being ratchet? Ratchet is not saving it's how you carry yourself. It doesn't matter if your clothes still come from Rainbow's or your eyeliner isn't from Mac as long as you as a person carry your self a certain way any who here's the list you've been waiting for.
Makeup
BH Cosmetics: This makeup company are on the cheaper side but it's quality makeup. Well I can only speak for the eye shadows. I'm not a face makeup kind of girl but if their foundation,lip products and blush is anything like there eye shadows then they're amazing. The best thing about this company is the sales they are constantly having sales on top of already being affordable.
Website: www.bhcosmetics.com
ELF Cosmetics: Although I haven't brought from them recently E.L.F cosmetics is also a affordable makeup site. Warning: some of the things on this site isn't what I would call amazing but truth is you expect what you pay for and some of there items are better then the price. Such as there lip glosses and face setting mist. What I personally praise them for are their cheap and single brushes. Their brushes aren't Sedona Lace are Sigma but they get the job done pretty damn well.
website: http://www.eyeslipsface.com
L.A Girl Cosmetics: I know exactly what your thinking. Isn't that the same brand from the beauty supply store and yes it is. Never sleep on beauty supply store products. L.A girl lip paints are amazing! So is there glide on eyeliner there are truly some gems within this company you never expect.
website: http://www.lagirlusa.com
Accessories and Makeup
Shop Miss A: This is one of those sites that just so happen to be a one stop for me. Why? you may ask is not only is everything a dollar, yes, I said uno peso! this is almost as close to being free as it comes but the things on here are quality items the earrings, rings, and necklaces are beautiful and the don't, I mean do- not feel like it's price. The makeup are work able (They carry ELF Cosmetics Items here too!) but one thing about this site is that you have to be quick if you see a piece you want today most likely it would be sold out the next time you go on that site. The most amazing product on this site is their KARA eyelashes c'mon let's be real where can you find human hair eyelashes that are a dollar? and don't let me forget those flash tattoos
website: www.shopmissa.com
Born Pretty Store: I mainly come on here for nail supply items such as rhinestones and stamping plate but the jewelry on here are beauty haven't brought any from here this is sure a place to check out especially if your into nail art.
website: www.bornprettystore.com
Hair
For those who don't know I do where wigs. I use to be a braid wearing going up. Wore track weaves a few times and now since I love the versatility of wearing wigs when I switched its hard for me to switch back. Many women these days buy there virgin hair and make there wigs. There's nothing wrong with that some of those wigs make my a little envious until I see the prices of those bundles though. More power to the woman that can spend close to $200.00 a bundle and have like 4 of them with a closure I'm sorry I can do a lot with $1,000 dollars then to just sew it on my head.
To some of ya'll that aren't close to a beauty supply store like myself or even if your looking for a price comparison this is for you guys.
Hair to Beauty: This site has been my holy grail since last year every unit I've receive have came super fast and there affordable. Yes they do carry weave, braiding hair, accessories and makeup as well just think of them as a online version on your favorite beauty supply store.
website: www.hairtobeauty.com
Elevate Styles: Now let me tell you about this company they are slowly stealing my heart away this happens to be my mother's holy grail for her units they are a couple of days faster is shipping they just seem to carry some units at a cheap price then hair to beauty problem is by the time I'm on a unit the color I want it gone and I'm not ready to go 100% black or dark brown I need color in my hair to bring out the undertones in my complexion. If your looking for a one stop for hair and accessories this is strictly just a hair site. They do carry weaves and braiding hair. Your orders are also protected by google which I find impressive.
website: www.elevatestyles.com
Closing Statement
These are just a few sites for you guys to check out and I would definitely keep you guys posted with out things that I buy from these site. Keep in mind that you should do comparisons at all times check for proof of the legitimacy of the site. Make sure the shipping doesn't make up half of your entire order for example: If your buying a item for let's say $40 dollars and standard shipping is $20.00 don't buy it that's bull crap shipping should cost that much if it is the same country and you know for a fact the item doesn't weight that much. Now sometimes when you spend $50 dollars or more on these site you automatically get free shipping so read the fine print. Chances are standard shipping is $8.00 anyway so why not get something else for it instead of spending it solely on shipping. Ebay and Amazon do carry cosmetics but be aware that most of the time its a vender saling through these sites so take caution. There have been claims about fake high end makeup and scammers floating around these sites. Come up a price that you don't really mind losing in case something goes wrong and start shopping for things in that price range. For me that $7.00, I'm just going to by honest by the time it get to $10.00 I'm looking like what else can I get with this besides makeup or accessories this could be a boom ass shirt or a pack of meat (which is becoming even more pricey by the day) then I start thinking about holiday gifts. I do consider anything over $10.00 a splurge simply because its on something I want instead of something I needed. The purpose of this blog is to let some of your divas out there that you don't have to spend a load of cash to look good. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being a "Diva on a Budget"
Hope This Helps Someone!
Love you guys!

Jayson (Short Story Sunday)
It was just a simple
morning laying in my queen sized Victorian styled bed. When I saw him, He was
tall, dark, and mysterious. Moving swiftly from room to room everyone had told
me about him. I always laughed it off as them being a little looney, and now I
see him with my own two eyes and wondered if he saw me. Stepping my feet on the
cold marbled tile floors. Following the sweet aroma of morning dew lingering
behind him. Tipping Toe from room to room hoping to get a closer view and there
he was in the kitchen peering at the rose garden through the large window.
“Haven’t anyone told you
not to explore unknown things” His baritone voice cracked the silence causing
me to jump back.
He was right my friends
and I always made jokes about people doing this in horror movies and here I was
do the same thing, but who could blame me for being curious. He was a piece of
art that I have been longing to see. A piece of art that appeared to everyone
except for me. I’ve heard stories about them my whole entire life. Stories that
fascinated me to the romantic nature these creatures possessed. Over the years
I’ve convinced myself that I was crazy to even have fantasies about them
stealing me away at night because something that harbored so much passion
couldn’t exist.
“Leave”!! He shouted not
knowing that my stubborn nature wouldn’t listen although I was a few seconds
away from pissing on myself.
My mother always told me
that one day my love for adventure would change my life forever maybe she was
right but it was too late. As I stepped closer and closer to him.
“I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE”! He
turned around yelling my eyes widened and the sight of his lifeless greenish
brown eyes that set like two big slants engraved into fine china on his beautiful
bone structured face. Frozen, I stared at his long wavy black hair pulled back
into a tight pony tail and full heart shaped lips. His tattoos on his cocoa complexion
stood out because of the paleness of his undertone.
“Don’t look at me” He
said more calmly turning around hiding his face. I don’t know why I put my
hands on his cold shoulders. It was like I wasn’t even afraid of this mystical
creature everyone called a monster. How
could this be happening, this cannot be real but can't I control the connection I started
to feel.
-To Be continued
Word from me: I'm trying something new, I'm not brand new to Watt Pad matter of fact I've had mines up for about a year or so. Many of you may have a general idea that when it comes to me and my stories that I just sometimes get so overwhelmed with life that I can't think straight. This causes major writer's block for me which later results to a whole lot of unfinished material. It isn't that I've totally forgot about them but the way my mind is set up. I seem to constantly get story lines and ideas that doesn't match an ,already started project and I end up starting another one. Back to the Watt Pad thing, I'm going to put my best effort into posting chapters on my Watt Pad Account a few days but posting them on here so if your absolutely dying to know what happens or even if I started a new project then go over there and check me out! https://www.wattpad.com/user/EmpressRose. Note: That I might need to get my stuff together but I'm really not one to give up. I also want to say Thank You! to everyone who actually read my blogs and my stories. Just knowing that others are interested and a few things I have to say makes my day.
Love You Guys!

Sexual Education (Should it be taught in public schools)
Sexual
Education in Public Schools
American children
are more vulnerable to sexual transmitted diseases and early parenthood than
generations before them. According to The Center of Disease Control and Kaiser
Family Foundation approximately 65% of
STDS contracted in America will occur in people under 25 years of age and 1 out
of 4 new cases of H.I.V infections occur in those under the age of 22
(Masland,2014). These statistics
stress the importance of educating our youth about tools that effect their
daily lives such as what is the meaning of consensual sex, what is sexual
abuse, how to prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexual transmitted diseases.
However, there is an on-going debate about this particular biology lesson and
how it should be taught. Some questioned the importance of sexual education
being taught in schools, liberals have their views that lessons taught should
be in full details, and conservatives believe that such an intimate topic
should be taught by parents in a moral manner. Each party have valid reasons for their belief
but which one seem to be more effective.
Sexual education is a crucial lesson that should be
taught to our adolescents. Children today are more inquisitive about sex than
their predecessors. Elementary students are realizing the difference between male
and female anatomy and how it affect them sexually. Richard McCarthy have experienced
this when a teacher reported catching a girl preforming oral sex on his five
year old son in an unlocked bathroom at First Lutheran Church/Carson School in
Los Angeles, California (CBS-Los Angeles,2013). Middle school students are experimenting sexually
for various reasons feeling pleasure, to improve their relationship, and for
popularity or their reputation (Child Trends Data Bank, 2013). By the time most
American teenagers reach high school over 50% of them are having sexual
relationships. Our children, preteens, and teenagers are being influenced by
their peers and the highly sexualized media such as erotic novels, music
videos, sitcoms, reality television shows, X-rated movies and gossip magazines.
According to Psychologist David Walsh, the brain is wired to develop intense physical
and emotional attraction during teenage years more than during the maturing
process. He also stated his disruption on how casual sex is portrayed in the
media and he claims that this distort the views of true intimacy (Jayson, 2015).
This maybe the reason why many parents stress the importance of having a
responsible adult who can educate their children with everything they need to
learn about sex. Although, sexually transmitted diseases and early pregnancies
are the two most popular reason why sexual education is important. Consensual
sex and learning how to approach a situation where sexual abuse or assault is
taking place is also essential. Child molestation has been on the rise for the
past few decades and so are the growing population of child molesters within
the database. Learning about consensual sex can help lower the rates of sex
crimes against children. They’re many reasons why sexual education is
considered beneficial, but we still have opposing views which have spilt this
debate into two parties the liberals and conservatives.
Liberals
believe generally that sexual education is the only way to effectively improve
how American youth approach sex responsibly. Like physical education
sexual education should be mandatory in all public schools. We trust our
educators to teach and prepare our children for a brighter future academically,
professionally and socially, but how is this possible when we shy away from
educating them on the pros and con of sexual topics. Liberals stress the
importance of these lessons being taught with detailed information within their
syllabus. They also believe that sexual education would prevent the negative
outcome of engaging in sexual activities and effective teaching can develops negotiation skills,
decision-making skills, assertion and listening skills (Walkins, 2014).
Although they are not opposing abstinence, they do stress the importance of sex
education being taught effectivelly and that learning abstinence isn’t enough
to keep our curious youth from engaging in sexual acts and they need to know
how to make decisions regarding their sexual tendencies wisely.
Conservatives don’t agree
with these views. They believe that lessons on such an intimate topic should be
taught in a domestic environment by parents. That parents are the best
educators of sex and they are responsible for teaching moral values to their
children. These beliefs stem from religious views on purity and on the many
claims of teachers who caters to their own personal belief by handing out
inappropriate materials to their students. Materials that contain explicit
contents geared around homosexuality, bestiality, BDSM, and sex crimes. Like in two recent cases one in Pembroke,
North Carolina where a substitute teacher allowed a class of ninth graders
watch the sexually explicit film “Fifty Shades of Grey” based on the trilogy by E.L James (Willets,2015). Another happened in Gilford, New Hampshire were
William Baer a father of a ninth grader at Gilford High School was arrested during
a school board meeting for protesting the required reading of “Nineteen Minutes” by Jodi Picoult, which contain events geared around student
violence, bullying, and sexual aggression (
Bamforth,2014). These cases have made clear the concerns of many parents. It provides evidence why many want to take
such lessons into their own hands, but it is not enough to prove that teaching
such lessons are the sole responsibility of parents. With some children living in
an unstable household with one parent and others with two parents who aren’t
stabled enough to teach their children such lessons. We cheat these children on
how to make healthy choices regarding sex after sexual education is
discontinued in schools. Children minds are like sponges and tend to soak up
everything around them and like teachers, parents tend to teach based on their
own personal views. Some avoid teaching their children because they are
uncomfortable or in denial of the possibility that their child could be
interested in such a topic. Others engage in negative sexual relationships in
the presence of their children that may contradicts the positive lessons they
try to instill in them. However, many parents and faith-based households stress
only the importance of waiting until marriage and by doing so that child would
have a beneficial, meaningful, and loving relationship with their significant
other that isn’t based on carnal pleasures.
Abstinence is an important lesson and have been proven
to be the safest form of safe sex practices but when abstinence becomes the
only route in educating our youth it could become detrimental to their health.
These teaching don’t prevent the wide-spread sexually transmitted diseases or
teenage pregnancies and children who do succumb to their sexual urges often
feel shameful and condemned. Nicholas
Ducote, a former homeschooled Christian have spoken out about his experience
growing up in and abstinence taught household and stated that there were
extreme views on purity and lust and to have sexual thoughts about someone is
shameful lusting after that person. When taught about STDS he was told that you
can’t get a disease from your wife as long as you’re in a Godly monogamous
relationship and nobody cheats. If you are promiscuous, you will ruin this
immunity and get cancer. (Kutner, 2015).
Some children growing up with such views often stray away from sexual actions
because of the fear of being punished because they have lusted or fornicated,
but this fear don’t stop the urges in the majority. Nicholas talks of his
struggles with masturbation and the guilt behind it believing that the devil
was trying to tempt him. He also speaks of his friend, a fellow homeschooled
student who had urges to prey on under aged girls and how there’s was no
conception of levels when it came to sin (Kutner,2015). This proves that teaching a child
about abstinence isn’t enough to ensure positive sexual decision making and
growing up with such views could result to an unstable relationship with sex in
the future.
Regardless of what side, this debate seems to be more
effective. We can all agree that sexual
education is important and should be taught rather it’s inside or outside the
home. Parents may want to protect the innocent minds of their children by controlling
the levels of sexual content being
taught within sexual education curriculums, but in this advance generation our
youth is becoming more knowledgeable a lot sooner and making their own
decisions a lot sooner than expected. Rather you agree or disagree with the
liberals/conservatives, or you are still stuck somewhere in between. As a
nation it’s our responsibility to provide knowledgeable information to ensure
that our youth make decisions safely and wisely and the way to give each and
every child the opportunity to equally do so is to make sure sexual education
classes are mandatory within all schools in America.

Why haven't I been blogging? (The secret event I've been keeping for months)
For some people who may be wondering where have I been in the blogging world this one is for you guys.
Since March, 9, 2015 I have been blessed with the opportunity to continue my education. It have been something that I've been wanting to do for years and it seemed like for the longest time there were road blocks in the way of me accomplishing this particular goal. Every since I received my acceptance email (Modern Technology) and official documentation. I decided to take a break from almost everything within the first few terms so I can focus on warming myself back up as a student.
This time around I'm so excited about being a college student for the simple fact that the first two times I basically went to college to jump start my professional life. Therefore, I took quick courses I wasn't really interested in just to meet the requirements for the largest job market available at that time. Now I'm actually going for my psychology degree which have always been my dream major. Recently I've added sociology as a minor. How typical huh? I was going to do creative writing but I can accomplish so much more in life with sociology after all I'm all about helping people make their lives better.
Some of you guys are probably like "Why would you keep that a secret?" and to be completely honest about it. I've made that decision based off of the simple fact that for the past few years I've been through my number of struggles and a lot of people have said and done some hateful things and being that it seemed like I was a target for cruel assumptions and nasty rumors. I just didn't want to hear negativity from anyone about my future. Believe it or not people tend to be shocked when learning about my major and prior to enrolling in school some very lovely individuals kindly made smart remarks about how I should focus on something else because they couldn't see me doing such a thing in the future. So the only way I was able to keep a clear mind was to keep my academic life a secret for a little while.
I'm now going into my third term and it seems to be going by so fast. For those wondering am I an online student. Yes, I am the community college where I live have never been some where I wanted to attend. I did my research for the prefect school for me and I decided to apply to University of Phoenix , Liberty University, and University of Southern New Hampshire. University of Phoenix contacted me first and the other contacted me a bit later but my heart stuck with SNHU simply because of how they make you feel like family. It was like being adopted into a family who makes sure everything is just right for you and your future goals in life.
The real purpose for this blog is to let some of you guys know that everything happens in Gods time. I applied to these same schools last year and the year before and something always seemed to prevent me from enrolling and yet this time everything went through perfectly. Don't give up keep trying it will happen. Those who are thinking about online college my advice for you is to do your research I love my school but you might not be looking for what I was looking for in a school. Just keep you head up and keep pushing forward.
Love You Guys!!!

Does it seems like "Your Moment" is taking way too long?
Many of us get into a runt of trying to make other people
proud. It’s normal we have a lot of people wanting to see us succeed in life.
This is sometimes the reason why we set our standards so high when it comes to
our lives. We often times feel like we aren’t doing enough because someone else
always seems to be doing better than we are and in world where success is
limited to material things not having stability can make us feel like failures
in life. We tend to forget that everyone has their time, never to lose faith,
and keep on pushing when those around you seem to push you down. If you feel
like your moment is just taking to long to get here, hopefully this would help
you keep it together when you don’t see that light at the end of the tunnel.
Everyone has their own time. You have to realize that life
is unpredictable and just because it’s raining in the morning doesn’t mean that
it’s going to be raining all day long. We all have good times but how do we know
what good if we never go through the bad? There’s a balance of them both and
without those struggles can you imagine how you would end up? I know it sounds
crazy but my struggles in life have taught me to be humble. I was never a mean
person but let’s just say I took a lot of things for granted until I was placed
in a situation where I had to do without them. Not only did I learn to
improvise but the value of those things really projected as I started to miss
them being right there. So instead of being negative in your situation or
beating yourself up being Cindy down the street that’s the same age as you seem
to be more accomplished. Take the time that you’re in your struggle to evaluate
your life. What do you need to learn from your situation, Who should you let
into your circle during this situation, and What survival skills should you
pick up while improvising? The most important thing is to study yourself
throughout our lives we tend to pay so much attention to everyone around us.
Our friends, family, co-workers, classmates, and the list goes on we focus so
much on others when being left by ourselves we often find out that we are a
familiar strangers.
Never lose faith no matter what happens. We all know the
feeling of applying for jobs and it seems like your phones isn’t ringing as
frequently or quickly as you hoped it would. It’s discouraging especially when
it seems like all your peers are employed and your still pounding the pavement
without success. Don’t give up on your goals whatever your goals maybe. It
might not be a job it can be starting an online business, meeting the woman/man
of your dreams, attending church more often, losing those 50 pounds that seem
to always be at the top of your resolutions at the beginning of every New Year.
You have to stay positive and carry on because trust me there’s going to
already be enough negativity in your life.
Which brings me to the next topic. Those people around you
that call themselves having your “best interest” at heart. People can be so
negative at times. During my struggles adapting to a new environment I naturally
wanted to work and save up so I can return back home and soon discovered that
without transportation in a rural environment you’re screwed. I didn’t have a
car and couldn’t afford to pay someone $15 dollars a day for gas money not
talking about them expected extra stuff on the side just for taking me
somewhere. I was stuck in a situation where I really couldn’t do anything. Instead
of people offering to take to look for a job or enroll in school they rather
walk around talking about “You need to get your s*** together”, “What’s wrong
with you, why can’t you get a job?, “You just don’t want to do s***” and my
favorite “You need to get a crazy check”. I’m not going to even lie it got to
me and mentally tore me down and broke me into piece. I was angry for a long
time with everything I almost lost it. That’s why I’m telling you to shake
those darts off. The people around you can literally cause more damage to you
when you aren’t what they consider successful. Think I’m lying? I bet you had
more friends when everything was good and only have a few if any now that things
are a little harder. You have to sometimes dislocate yourself from negativity
and it’s everywhere.
The question I often have when it comes to expectations on
young adults is who told us that if we don’t have our own car, house, and bank
accounts filled with loads of money by 25 that we are failures. Who set those
standards for us? Many people feel like if they don’t accomplish these things
by a certain age they’re worth less. Some have committed suicide and others
have turned to illegal hustles trying to keep up with the Jone’s. When all you have
to do is keep the faith, be humble, shake off negativity, and keep trying the
same way it’s happening for someone else it would happen for you too.
Love You Guy! XoXo!

What To Cook Wednesdays
Tomato Basil (All Natural Salad Dressing
This is a dressing that is refreshing, tasty, and the best
part is no preservatives.
Ingredients
1 Pint of Cherry Tomatoes
1 Teaspoon of Honey
3-4 Leaves of Fresh Basil (Dry Basil would do)
1 Cup of Olive Oil
Garlic or Garlic Paste
Vinegar (White or Apple Cider)
Salt
Pepper
Directions
This is almost as simple as it sounds. You can double the
ingredients for larger batches and save it in the fridge for later.
In a blender add your
cherry tomatoes and honey then pulse for a few minutes until it’s broken down.
Add your basil and a few cloves of garlic or garlic paste .
(I personally use garlic paste because it’s already broken down). Continue
pulsing the mixture.
Add in your vinegar but not to much you don’t want to
overpower the taste of your tomato and basil, you also don’t want an over load
of oil either (Vinegar thins out oil when both is ingested together).
Add in your Olive oil and continuous blend for 5-10 minutes.
Remember it’s a salad dressing the more broke down it is the
better.
Place a bowl under a mini strainer and strain your dressing
through stirring out all the liquid.
Unless you like thick, pulpy dressing. Season with salt and
pepper and let it sit in the fridge and marinate for 30 minutes to a hour
before using it. Enjoy! ( If you want to
make this dressing more fattening you can add some parmesan and romano cheese
while blending)
Love You Guys!
