Nail rings have been on the scene for a little while now. They are starting to become more of a trend. This unique 3-D design fits over the nail and is thin enough to shape perfectly to fit the client. They can be seen on Beyonce, Fergie, Katy Perry, Rihanna, and many more. The rings are designed by Bijules NYC, a unique and edgy jewelry company. The rings can range anywhere from $18-$160.
Two words, Derrick Rose. Need I say more. He's putting a lot of work in this season and many believe that he will be crowned MVP when everything is said and done. I ran across an interview between Rose and Ahmad Rashad and I fell deeply in love with Rose. They spoke about his mother, his recent rise to stardom in the NBA, and several other topics. During the interview Derrick seemed so humble and one thing he said really caught my attention:
"I'm putting all this time in, breaking my fingers, twisting my ankles, and why not be the best, I've sacrificed a lot of things: I've sacrificed my whole life for this game, so why not try to be the best in it."
I totally agree with Rose. If you put all your time and effort into something, then that should be all the reason you need to be the best at it.
Today 106 & Park premiered "Look AT Me Now" twice and I love it. I'm pretty sure it will be on the countdown tomorrow and number one by next week. #TeamBreezy
I predicted this season's viewers would drop after Simon Cowell left American Idol. According to USA Today's, Gary Levin, last year's premiere on Jan. 12, 2010 had 29.9 million viewers and this years premiere saw a 12% decline with 26.2 million viewers. I must say I'm one of the viewers to blame for the decline in viewers. I don't trust the critique of the Judges without Simone. Randy is still Randy, J.Lo is a more critical Paula, and Steven Tyler just has terrible judgement.With Simon gone a lot of contestants have slipped through the cracks. In all fairness I have only watched two episodes, one being the episode that aired last night. Several of the contestants had bad performances but one performance that stuck out the most was by Naima Adedapo. She did her own rendition of Rihanna's "Umbrella' and it was too much going on. She opened the performance with a pop and lock routine and then added a little reggae twist in the middle.
If you are not up to date with Two and a Half Men actor Charlie Sheen and his recent shenanigans, trust me when I say "You are truly missing out". Although Charlie is no stranger to the headlines due to his drug and alcohol abuse, marital problems, and allegations of domestic violence; sheen has made his way back on to our television screens.
In most recent headlines Sheen has gotten his children taken and away and on March 7, 2011 he was official fired from Two and a Half Men due to his recent behavior on public appearances. In the past week Charlie had several interviews with NBC, CBS and other networks. In his his interviews he discussed a bevy of topics including his drug abuse, rehab, and his current relationships between Bree Olson (adult entertainer) and Natalie Keenly (model) both whom Sheen refers to as his "Goddesses".
Its very hard to believe that Sheen is sober, not only because he looks physically terrible but he also he speaks as if he is invincible. He claims that he has "Tiger Blood" and with his recent twitter fame with 2 million plus followers, Sheen is #Winning. He also claims to be joyful for his release from two and a half men and can't wait to sue warner brothers because they broke his contract. All I have to say is "Good luck Charlie" because I doubt with Sheen's recent behavior he'll be able to win this battle.
Although Sheen and his gibberish is comedic now, the reality is this story may have a tragic ending. His life is slowing unraveling in front of our eyes.
For those who may not know, I am a huge NBA fan. Recently I asked myself "Are there any women that coach a professional men's basketball team?" Within a few minutes after I asked the question, I found my answer. I ran across an interview between Cheryl Miller an Nancy Lieberman (coach of the Texas Legends). Lieberman was being interviewed about her journey on how she became the first women to coach a men's basketball team. Many would oppose the idea of a woman coaching men's basketball but her credentials are just as good as anybody else's. She has the experience as pro player, she has years of experience as a coach, she has literally played with the boys and most importantly she loves the game. This story is very inspirational and makes my love for the game of basketball even stronger. The NBA is TRULY where "Amazing Happens".

Although many were rooting for him, myself included, unfortunately it just wasn't his year. At least he didn't lose to Rihanna in the rap/song collaboration. It's okay though because he did an excellent job on his Saturday Night Live performance and I'm pretty sure this will be Chris's comeback year.
According to Chris: “To all the fans!! I love y’all. Don’t be upset!! This industry is based on politics and asskissing! My only concern is team breezy! Fuck everybody else!” (viaTwitter)

In case you missed out, Drake was joined on the red carpet by his mother. There he was interviewed by MTV's own Snooki and Sway. They discussed Valentine's Day and his Grammy nominations. Also I must say I was a little jealous of all the flirting that went on between Snooki and Drake; but she probably ruined any chance she had with him when she asked " Did you and Rihanna smush?"
Drake seemed as if he was lost for words. All I heard him say was " uh uh uh uh... wow!"
I am a huge fan of wearing hair extensions but I'm far from an expert. I hardly even know what hair to purchase or what color matches my hair. Here's a post that will help all the ladies with some frequently asked questions on hair extensions. 1. How long do they last? It’s recommended that you get a new sew in about every 8 weeks and allow your hair to breathe for a few days. Once you feel the braids getting loose, and starting to hang because of the new growth, get a new install! 2. How do you maintain the hair under the sew in? It’s your hair do it just like you would do your hair if it wasn’t under the weave. You should still wash and condition your hair about every two weeks and dry under a hooded or bonnet dryer. Important note: Make sure your hair is dry before getting from under the dryer; don’t feel the weave to determine if your hair is dry. It’s important that your hair is dry first; it may take longer for your hair to dry because it’s braided and under the weave. If your hair isn’t completely dry then it can cause mildew in your hair because the weave is covering your hair and its not getting any air. Also, remember to dry your hair using the medium setting. 3. What kind of hair should I buy? Honestly, if you’re going to go buy the 12.99 pack of yaki hair that you used back in the day for a ponytail, that’s EXACTLY what you’re going to get. Some 13 dollar quality hair, don’t be surprised if it sheds a lot and tangles. Try buying a more expensive type of hair such as Remy hair. This hair is more expensive but it doesn’t shed as much, hardly won’t tangle and its reusable (if you want to reuse it). 4. How tight should your hair be braided? If it hurts, it’s too tight. Just like with regular braids, braiding too tight causes a strain on your hair. If you feel your stylist braiding your hair too tight, SAY SOMETHING! It’s your hair. (Do the “eyebrow check”, if you raise your eyebrows and you feel the braids pulling at your scalp. You need to call your stylist back. The oil sheen really won’t help this time lol)
5. What kind of products can I use on my weave? You don’t want anything too heavy that will weigh your hair down, you can use the same products you use on your regular hair just don’t get happy and start to get heavy handed. A little goes a long way. Since it’s a weave it won’t respond to products the way your normal hair will, so you won’t have to use a lot.
I love nail polish, as do most ladies. Recently I came across this new nail polish by O.P.I, which if your not familiar with this brand: I recommend you familiarize yourself. The O.P.I Black shatter polish is all the rave. The nail polish creates a shatter effect as it dries on your nails and can be worn over any shade polish.
Plus, if you can't afford a manicure this will definitely do the trick. It will have everyone thinking you had your nails professional done.
I'm so excited about this new blog; this is my first blog I've ever made. Enough about that though, let me introduce myself. My name is Kayla. I'm 18 years old; originally from Queens, NY but right now I'm located in Atlanta, Ga or what others may to refer to as "Black Hollywood". I currently attend Kennesaw State University; home of the Owls.
This is a new beginning for me. It's my first year in college and my first year really on my own. My first semester of college I was unsure of what I wanted my major to be, as do most first-year college students. My reasoning for starting this blog is because I am at a point in my life where I really feel like I've figured out which direction I would like my life to go in, who I want to be, and want I would like to accomplish in this lifetime. So buckle up guys because its gonna be a bumpy ride.
Through this blog I will be sharing a variety of topics; from my life, education, fashion, and more. I promise that this blog will be full of wonderful information and you will never be bored. I hope you all enjoy!
