Diva is the female version of a hustler....

Lately I have found a new appreciation for R&B/Rap/Hip-Hop, or however you want to say it. Not all, I find some obnoxious, but a lot of the artists are amazing storytellers and are really poets. I have always loved Jay-Z and Biggie Smalls aka Notorious B.I.G for their lyrics and they are straight to the point, no bullshit. I love, love, love them. I love how they speak their minds and don't care if anybody wants to necessarily hear it. I have also really come to love and respect Beyonce. Not only is she one of the most talented and successful entertainers of our time, she is a celebrity without being a typical "celebrity". You hardly ever see rumors about her all over the front of magazines and she keeps her personal life personal.

This reminds me that I watched the movie Notorious and loved it. I see him in such a different light then how I always envisioned him. It really just made me that much more saddend that he is no longer with us.......


























R.I.P

Another Monday...

This week has been somewhat stressful but at the same time, extremely successful. I have managed to break my addiction to smoking and have not smoked a single cigarette for one week. That is not the reason that the past week has been stressful. In fact, quitting has been much easier than I thought it would be. Eventhough my husband is still an avid smoker, I have been able to refrain from smoking. I quit smoking simply because of my health. I loved smoking, it really did help me through a lot, but I am done. I am too young, I have fantastic skin that I don't want to give up and to be honest the funds towards my other addiction (shopping) will be less depleted; especially since the recent raise of taxes yet again. I am very proud of myself. I actually did it!
