THING TUTORIAL! LOL

I AM CLEARLY NOT GOOD AT DOING TUTORIALS. However you can go to your local arts and crafts store to get these items. They will all be in or around the jewelry making area. I got a small crimper to open and close the pieces to the jewelry etc. That was only $6. The little circle pieces, and connect things to close the feather onto, and the actual earring piece were like $2 and the packs come with a lot. Umm IDK! LOL THIS SUCKS! I WAS BORED AND DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO MY STUFFY NOSE! I JUST CRIED! LOL So I hope you learned how to make your own friggin earrings so you don't have to buy expensive ones anymore. If you need help lemme knooooooo!

WAKE UP! SPEAK UP!

My mom got me this really nice journal...okay call it a diary if you want to and I promise you will get a knuckle sammich! Anyway the front of it says " PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR DREAMS- THEY MAY CONTAIN INSTINCTIVE WARNINGS OR AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM YOUR HEART OF HEARTS. SOMETIMES, A DREAM CAN BE A COMPASS TO GUIDE YOU FROM YOUR TRUEST SELF" and the inside she wrote to me "BRITTANY MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS TURN INTO REALITY LOVE MOM". I was already crying in my room because I found out some disturbing news, but this made me cry even more..but it was a positive cry. Like my mom really cares about me....she has seen me depressed and not inspired by any type of motivational speeches, but I need to make a promise to her and myself, that I will get better. I hate feeling sad all the time, so what I will do with this journal she got me is just write my thoughts. Keep being confident, cry less, and grow from this storm. I have to keep rising and keep living and keep loving. I am gonna write every experience in this journal especially when I go back to school. There is so much on my mind...and I can write it in here....I only hope nobody invades my mind and reads my journal. So people, if you are constantly sad and feel like there will be no light, turn to your mom or dad or anyone you trust, get a journal, and take their hand and ask for help. Ask them to help you through your storm. Because I let my problems build up in me...I bottle my feelings up and I am about to crack. I don't want to see anyone crack under pressure. I don't tell anyone how I feel because I know they will get mad at me. I know they will think I am selfish...I guess sometimes I am. Anyway, I am writing this to say girls and guys...don't bottle up your feelings if you are depressed or always sad. Talk...write...scream...make a video about it, and use it as a lesson for the next person. Don't break under pressure.....don't be afraid to have a voice. I am....I was...but now...I will speak up. If you cant talk to anyone you confide in, email me...I will listen. I have my own problems, but I am never too busy to give my advice. PEACE AND LOVE.

DUDES!!!!!

One thing I know is that I am a good girl, and by good girl I mean when I have a dude I treat him right. I cook for him, tell him all the sweet nothings, cook for him, wash his clothes and do what I think is best for him. It seems like you go out of your way for your dude right? I know, it is because you are a girl....you want to put more time and effort into the relationship than he does because you are looking at the future future. No I am not saying that every guy you meet is the one you think about your future with but sometimes you have that special feeling. Where you would go above and beyond, to the moon and back just to get some satisfaction out of it. Sometimes I have this feeling, that my dude and I would be such a power couple and how we could accomplish so many things by supporting each other. This leads me to say dudes, don't let your good girl go bad. "men can stick it in any place that they can but for women it is about security and commitment and whatever the fuck else, if you men only knew! but your not the jealous type are you? you've never been jealous about me have you? and why haven't you ever been jealous about me? you are very sure about yourself aren't you?!" This was featured in one of  Frank Oceans songs and I think it is very true. Guys think they can screw whoever and get away with it but for women, we lock down our goodies for that one guy we are with. We push away the temptations and act like we are Indian women by covering our faces. All I can say is men...you always complain about how some women are hoes, but you can do whatever. You always complain that you cant find your "wifey", don't do us dirty then we wont be so hard to find. Because I have met so many women who say they got tired of men doing them dirty so they just went gay. GUYS!!!!!! DUDES!!!!! DON'T LET YOUR GOOD GIRL GO BAD! If you want excitement, go get some chains and whips, go get costumes and candies, go get freaky if you need to. SPICE IT UP! There is nothing that a woman cant do. There are so many of us good girls out there who will push away so many guys just for you, so lover her...and squeeze her....and kiss her...and most of all...let her know she is beautiful, she is amazing, she is sexy, and that you love her more than anything. You will get so far if you just take time to tell your girl she is special...

Lizard Thicket

There are very few clothing stores in Georgia that I actually like however, there is one in particular called Lizard Thicket. This store has the cutest outfits ever because once you get it, it can never be found again because it will be sold out. This is the type of store where you can shop and never see anyone with the same outfit you have on because it is so exclusive. I use the word exclusive because to my knowledge there are only 2 stores out here. One is in Peachtree city and the other is in Newnan, and I just happen to live right in between both of them which is amazing. So here are a few of the new arrivals they have in the store. I will post the link for you to look at the site but the downside is you cannot purchase any of the clothes online so if you live in Newnan, GA or Peachtree City, GA areas then go ahead and check out the store for these cute clothes.

All of these are items that I personally think are cute. The prices vary but it is better to shop here vs. a well known store because not many girls will have an outfit on like you! SHOP AT http://www.shoplizardthicket.com/index.html TO GET YOUR CUTE CLOTHES TODAY :-)

BEING CONFIDENT DAY 1

OKAY, So I have a bad track record for having low self esteem and being confident. But last night, I got the most sincere speech from my boyfriend in a tone that I could not take lightly. He asked me to be confident, and with that would come more happiness to our relationship. My mom has been telling me for the longest "you need to be more confident, you are pretty, you need to start praying". So with both of their help, I have decided to become confident because I will get nowhere if I continue to bring myself down . So he asked me to conduct a paragraph of how I will be more confident. I am not sure if it is okay, but I am going to share it with you and I hope I can get some positive feedback. "

I am going to be more confident because I have an amazing boyfriend who really care about me, a family who supports me, and despite my migraines I am healthy. I will be more confident because as each day passes I get more and more beautiful by growing into my look. I know how to do makeup pretty good, which means I am talented artistically. I have goals that I am going to reach with the proper ambition and I will succeed. I am going to be more confident because each day, God wakes me up and lets me know that I still have a purpose here therefore he is giving me another chance to right any wrongs. I love my life because I have amazing people surrounded by me. And the more I don’t focus on the negatives in my life, the more I will succeed and the more things will come to me. And one of the major things that will keep my drive high, is I always have something to look forward to each day; knowing I have someone special to share my feelings with, to mature with, make a better future with and to love unconditionally. I will be more confident and speak up because not being confident will not get me anywhere. I never thought I was talented but I am, I can dance, I always have good ideas, I’m good at the art of makeup, and I can make people laugh. I will be confident because I am smart, and with the knowledge God has blessed me with I will use it to my advantage. Confident people don’t cry when given criticism, nor do they stay away from people so from here on out I won’t do either. In being more confident I will decrease the number of migraines I have, I will know that I won’t be forgotten, and things will come to me. Plus, I am good at cooking…so I got a few things going for myself!" I love my mother and my boyfriend, you two have been my drive....you two are the only ones who have pushed for me to be confident and know that I am beautiful....so I thank you. I will update daily on how my progress is, in no time I will be very confident and my blessings will begin to shower on me.

Man Down...

Every time something happens in the music industry it is either frowned upon or glorified. In this case, for Rihanna she frowned upon gettin her ass beat by Chris Brown and like Joan of Arc she played the victim so well. Now sometime after this happened to her she began to use it to her advantage by coming out with her album Loud. Her single S&M was released and immediately when I heard it I was like wow, this chick is violent and it had me thinking maybe she provoked Chris Brown...hmm? I am no advocate for abusing women but she seems to be. Who makes a song saying "'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it Sticks and stones may break my bones But chains and whips excite me" and "I didn't mean to end his life I know it wasn't right I can't even sleep at night Can't get it off my mind I need to get out of sight Before I end up behind bars What started out as a simple altercation Turned into a real sticky situation Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing Makes me wanna cry 'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him Could've been somebody's son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun It's a 22, I call her Peggy Sue When she fits right down in my shoes What do you expect me to do If you're playing me for a fool I will lose my cool And reach for my fire arm I didn't mean to lay him down But it's too late to turn back now Don't know what I was thinking Now he's no longer living So I'm 'bout to leave town" If you want to hear the rest of the song go on YouTube and look up man down. Now I already hate the lyrics because she is talking about destruction and violence, like who the hell would make a song like this after the whole world felt sorry for them? And check out the video....it starts out with her shooting a guy in the back. PAUSE! And continues off to the previous day which features guns. PAUSE! Later on she is in a club and dances with a dude she saw earlier and pushes him away, she leaves the club, he goes after her sees her in a dark corner, and man handles her and possibly rapes her. PAUSE! This is where I am confused, you put out a song talking about shooting a guy and how you felt bad after, but the video isn't in central station, she is "raped" in a dark ass alley, and runs home to find a gun to shoot the guy. OH MY GOSH GET OVER YOURSELF!!!!!Okay, the past is the past but it makes me wonder if this chick is using all that happened with Chris Brown to get ahead. Like dude had to put up a fight to get himself back out in the music industry, for the radios and television to play his songs, etc. I am just now down with this chick after this video. The world isn't like this, yeah bad things happen women, guys do horrible things to women that is not right and they should go to jail for it but she could have done a better video. PERIOD! You watch the video and you be the judge. Everyone has been so hard on Chris Brown, I think it is Rihanna's turn to reflect on herself.
AGAIN, THIS IS ALL HOW I FEEL ABOUT HER MUSIC AND HER VIDEO THIS IS NOT HOW THE WORLD FEELS BUT I CAN VOICE MY OPINION JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE.

Atlanta..

I would have to say that Atlanta always rants and raves about having the best BBQ places, food, night life, and hospitality. Let me clarify something for you, that is very untrue. Every BBQ place I have been to sucks, the sauce is not suppose to be tangy, that's nasty. Also, the food should be falling off the bones, it should make your mouth water instead of the tangy ass sauce making your mouth water from too much vinegar. None of these places are good, if you think otherwise, comment and tell me something I don't know. All the other food places, I think tend to be over priced. Who wants to pay a whole bunch of money for dry, tasteless, and expensive food? NOT ME! And the drinks...make them stronger, we aren't babysitting here! I can say that Mellow Mushroom pizza is the closest thing I can get to a California pizza. The crust, it is all about the crust, and they definitely put they foot in it! LOVE IT! My favorite is the house pizza with artichoke hearts, the pesto pizza and the ceasar salad pizza. That is just my preference. Also, if you are from California and you are wondering where the hell a good doughnut spot is besides Krispy Kreme, go to Dough In A Box. This place is the bomb, if you blink then you will definitely miss this little place. Everything about it reminds me of California from the look, prices and the taste. They aren't expensive, they give you free doughnut holes with every purchase, and again these bad boys are amazing. The only thing is they close early, they close around 2:00PM, so you gotta get there in the morning to enjoy a taste of California. The night life in Atlanta is so so I guess. I haven't been to a club yet where I am just like okay this is the spot. I have been to Opera, Velvet Room, Obsessions, Echelon 3000, one at underground, and  a few other places. They are all okay...I would have to say I like the variety of music at Opera and the setup. I also kind of liked Velvet Room again because of the setup however, Atlanta needs a new spot that is chill with good music. I plan on opening the hottest spot in Atlanta. As soon as I get some moolah! I don't want to give you the details because you might try to steal my idea but it will definitely have live music and be chill! Last but not least, the hospitality. They say the south is the best place for this. I think not, the people are just like everywhere else, you run by some nice people and you run by some jerks. There is nothing wrong with gay people but there are A LOT OF THEM EVERYWHERE YOU GO! It took some time getting use to but it is cool because everyone can be who they want to. Atlanta drivers drive like they are drunk, all day and night. Nobody uses their blinkers and I see more accidents than I see people drive. So, if you think otherwise about anything that I wrote in here comment please :-) feel free to start a heated debate because I am always going to think California is better...everyone thinks where they are from is better.
