.my ideal living.
.big bushy brows.
I've always had thick, bushy eyebrows since I was a baby (lol). Throughout most of elementary and middle school I was horribly teased and constantly reminded of the obvious unibrow. As I got older I began to embrass my luscious brows and I realize it is what makes me different. Now I don't go around rocking the unibrow, looking burly, but I always keep them thick and nicely groomed, instead of choppong them down to pencil thin lines. the above pictures are of model Paulina Giersimiuk. Her brows blew me away and inspired this post.
.happy easter.
I hope everyone had a very happy Easter. I had a good Easter, but unfortunately I did not make it too church. My sister and I were on our way there when the car completely ran out of gas! So we called our mother and she came to our rescue, but we still didn't make it to church. Our parents met us at Chili's and we had a great time. We went to see the movie "Why Did I Get Married Too?", which was wonderful and very funny yet also sad. All in all my Easter sunday was great.
Had Matthew 28 playing this morning. :) Love that song.

So today I went to the mall with my mom, sister and aunt. I'm not particularly fond of the mall we were at but it's the one they chose so I went. The mall is a bit, dare I say, "ghetto". So we are going through the mall and into the stores and I was pretty much cool...UNTIL... we walked into Bakers. Now I love all the wonderful shoes and accessories the company offers but when I walked in I quickly noticed that they were blasting vulgar and explicit music. Songs talking about sex (in detail/no metaphors) and all types of uncensored cursing. I was in complete shock because there were small children in the store and the fact that it seems like I was the only one who noticed and/or cared. Everyone was walking around gawking over the shoes with their children wondering around, while Fabolous talked about how patron gets his d**k up! So I go to the manager and let her no that she should be wary about the music she plays in the store because there are small children there. She says okay. ???? OKAY?? That is all she said and proceeded to play the music! What kind of manager is she? She had no common courtesy for the little girls in the store listening to the crap coming out of the speakers. This made me really upset because it's like she just didn't care! I find it so ridiculous how the women in the store didn't realize what was being played or that they may have not even cared. Is this really what the world has come to? Do we not care what our children are being exposed to?
So when I left the store I just could not get over it. The customer service in Bakers was so bad. Don't even get me started on the dress code! I understand that they don't have uniforms; which is fine but you have got to have some kind of dress code with that. One of the girls wore a mini skirt that was so short she couldn't even bend over. How can you do your job with your behind hanging out??? I was upset for a while but then I realized I cannot let someone else's ignorance and lack of common sence ruin my day. I'm sure Bakers' corporate office would not approve of such horrible service...

.behind masks.
Everyone has a secret they are afraid of letting out. They range from insecurities to life changing truths. In order to keep these secrets protected and out of the wrong hands, we hide. We hide behind masks of happiness, strength, confidence, and materialistic items. Trying to portray the person we want to be and/or what we want others to believe we are. Hoping everyone sees a person with the perfect life and not a care in the world, but inside lies a lonely, hurting soul who longs for the feeling of true and pure happiness. Why? Why do we hide? Why are we afraid to show our vulnerbilities? Why can't we just open up and be true to ourselves and what we are feeling? Life wouldn't be so hard if we would just stop pretending. Stop pretending that everything is okay when your world is upside down and flooded with chaos. Let it out. Open up. Tell the truth. I used to be the person who hid all my problems and pretended that life was just dandy, but now I have taken off my mask. I am not afraid to say I hurt, I cry most times for reasons I don't know, I am sometimes rude without knowing it; I'm not perfect no one is. So why do we pretend to be?

.rejection.
Rejection... the feeling of inadequacy, insufficiency, and incompetence. This negative warm feeling inside, letting me know that I have failed. That I am not good enough. I sit here staring fate in the eyes and coming to the terms of my reality. Many would call this a downfall, but I call it an inspiration. Giving me the incentive to go after what i want and what I deserve... - Nikki B.
