Life Lessons: Other people in your relationship / business

This has been bugging me for the past 2 days so I had to make a video about it, but if you don't feel like watching the entire video the just of it is as follows; a family member severely criticized my current relationship based on unfair assumptions when I never asked them their opinion at all. On top of that the opinions were very insulting and hurtful. 

Basically I talk about this incident in the video and how you have to keep your relationships on lock, and keep the happenings of said relationship to yourself. Other people will suddenly be so much in your own relationship you no longer have your own thoughts about situations. 

Plus it will often lead to others projecting their own feelings on your stuff, as in since their relationship is going bad then yours is going horrible too. 

No one else can possibly know what are the inner workings of your personal relationships and that is the way it should stay, no one else should be involved except God. Just another life lesson I had to learn. Not everyone, even family, has your best interest in mind.

Here is the video

In a green mood...

Lately I've been into painting my nails in bright colors and the most recent shades have all been some sort of green. Its the holidays and so began the hoarding of multiple shades of green nail polishes!! The first one I'll be showing is from Sally Hansen's Xtreme wear nail color line in "The Real Teal". As the name implies its supposed to be a teal color but in different light it sometimes looks green or even more blue. Either way I love it and its festive. The formula for this line of polishes is great btw; not thin and not too thick and awesome pigmentation and I'll continue to buy from this particular Hard as Nails section.

 Here's what they look like.

 Here they are in more of daylight.

I'll be changing my nail color weekly to feature my other green polishes. Until then,

Odd Inspiration

Recently I have been going to other outlets for fashion inspiration. One of my favorites is Japanese culture and the fashion of the young adults that live there. Never afraid to mix prints and patters and accessories galore. The entire outfit may look like a costume to some but I find it intriguing. No two styles are ever alike even if they are said to be in the same "genre".

My main website I visit when I want to view some of this odd but fascinating fashion is http://www.japanesestreets.com/. Everyday there is a post featuring a regular person stopped on the street and asked if photos can be taken. When fashion week rolls around they even feature pictures of the runway fashions.  Both men and women are included. 

Here are some of my favorites.

Rock What You Got!

I feel like I always talk about the Torrid brand on this blog but considering it is one of the few retailers that tailors to a plus sized woman completely and is continuously on trend. So today they have announced the newest winners of the 2010 House of Dreams contest that they have annually. They are all gorgeous and seem to be down to earth. Plus the photo shoot looked fab! Take a look!
