It's very rare to find a natural woman nowadays. When I say natural I mean stripped back. Completely natural, kinky hair, no make up, her own body parts....you know....just her. So imagine my surprise when I saw a completely natural beauty on the train this morning. To be honest I don't know why I was so surprised. It seems to be becoming a lot more common for black women to keep their natural hair and by this I mean the way it was when they were born. Personally, I think this is a good look. Why are we as black women so scared to step out of our front door without a wig or weave in our hair? I'm not going to pretend, I myself have been a slave to the old hair straighteners. After washing my hair it takes a couple of days before it's back to its natural state and straightening my hair was just a quicker and easier way to manage it but boy has my hair suffered. I have good hair. Long, light, wavy, soft, so why am I trying to ruin it by burning it? I believe that comments...

It's been 9 months since the royal wedding and Pippa Middleton's backside is still the main topic of discussion. I have to confess I didn't understand the fascination then and I don't understand it now. The Lorraine Kelly show has a daily feature on how to get Pippa's amazing arse and apparently people are approaching plastic surgeons in the US and asking for the Middleton!! Exhibit A Behold exhibit A, Pippa's bottom. It's flat and....well it's more of a non-bottom than a bottom. The only reason people noticed Pippa's bottom, is because she was wearing a fitted dress, that clung to every part of her body. Imagine if Beyonce had worn that dress. Can you see it? Now THAT would have been a bottom!!! Low and behold exhibit Bey - a REAL bottom. Exhibit Bey Need I say more. The pictures say it all really. Give me Bey's backside over Pippa's any day!! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

There's been a big story in the news recently about women who have had PIP breast implants and the fact that these implants have been discovered to be faulty. Well apparently those who have been affected, would like the government to pay for their corrective breast implant surgery. Errrr.....excuse me? Where exactly is the government going to get this money from to pay for your faulty boobs? The tax payer most likely and I'm sorry but I don't see why WE should pay for YOUR dodgy boobs!! I confess, I have no sympathy - if you couldn't tell already. If you've had implants for health reasons, that's fine but if you've had a boob job for your own vanity and insecurity issues, it is not our problem when they go wrong and I don't see why the government should have to pay for it. Sort your own boobs out with your own money, you did it before didn't you? Just had to get that one off my chest :) - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

So I haven't been on here for a while, just wanted to pop on and wish my readers a happy new year and to wish you all the very best in 2012. How many of you make new year resolutions?  I use to but admittedly I never stick to them so don't really do them any more.  However, this year I have set myself a couple of goals which I hope to have achieved by the end of the year.  They're not unrealistic and they are achievable, I just need to make sure I stay focused and motivated. I still can't believe the way 2011 just flew by, if you blinked you would have missed it.  If you have goals and aspirations you want to achieve, sitting down and talking about them is one thing but you have to get up and out there and make things happen.  Time waits for no man. I hope to give blogging more of my time this year so keep checking for updates.  Once again happy new year and thank you all for your support, it means a lot. Ciao xx

I always say that actions speak louder than words but it's true what a friend just said to me. She said "why do us women always seem to hang on to the words" and it made me think because it's so true. We do and words are truly meaningless without actions. Why do we do that? Why are we so willing to accept a mans words and whenever his actions are wrong we reach for those words and use them to make excuses for his actions? We hang on to words because words are beautiful. A man who has a way with words.....omg - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
