2 years..

LOL! okay so its been TWO YEARS since I last posted a post on this blog lol. The handful of followers that I had probably aren't even on here anymore lol. So what's been going on with me in the past two years? Well, I graduated high school, went to college (in my Sophomore year now.. we all know how stressful and time consuming school is), and continued growing my hair naturally but now I'm starting locs!! I'm super excited for them too!

Heres a quick glimpse of em:

I've been looking at a few of the posts I made in the past and I realized (well in my opinion .. which is the only one that matters) that I really had a good thing going here. I talked about career goals, my natural journey, things that pissed me off lol , and other random stuff that interested me. So I've decided to continue blogging from this blog. Since then my goals and interests have slightly changed, and I'm currently just taking life as it comes , which is day by day.

Until Next Time,

Love Elle xoxo <3

Light Skin Vs Dark Skin (My Take of course)

OK before I start let me just say that I'm writing on this topic from MY perspective.

Now, I'm sure we've all either had or heard the whole light skin vs. dark skin debate. I recently had one myself, and heard one on the radio a few months ago ,and I must say i was a little annoyed. These people were just HATIN the light girls! lol "Well, I prefer dark skin girls cuz they dont have all dem marks like the light skin girls." "Light skin girls too hard to deal with .. they're too materialistic I rather a dark girl any day." and alot of little petty comments like that. Yes, I UNDERSTAND that history has put the light skin girl on a pedestal, making the girl with the darker skin tone feel as if she is less than pretty, and I know how many women spend a ton of money on bleaching creams and do even more extreme things than that. I understand and I feel the same way everybody else does about it. I feel like a woman should love herself to the point that no one else's opinion should matter. No one was placed on this earth to satisfy anyone! But guys this is how I feel! Does it even make sense to do the same things as the light skin blacks did back in the day? or maybe even today? My point is I just feel as if people of color should learn to appreciate all of our different, and beautiful hues that we were created in! There is a fine line between preference and segregation.

Should I?

Ok so yes i know!! im natural now and i should try to stay away from all those chemicals n blah blah blah!! but man yall i really like this color .. tell me you dont love that!! dont even get me started on that lipstick!

I NEED YOUR HELP YALL!!

Yeah sorry about the hair .. just came back from the gym!

Er?!?!

So I'm talking to my boyfriend on th phone and I say " I wanna color my hair, but im scared." then he goes on to say "Scared for what?! You hardly have any hair... plus it'll make you look prettier" So i asked him .. are you trying to say that im not at my best right now? he said no, he likes my hair better when i had a particular weave in two years ago... I dont know im a little offended what do you think?

this is me two years ago..

this is me now =]
