HAIR!!!! It’s one of the first things people see! It can even make or break your look it’s your hair. *deep breath* I hate to admit it but if my hair isn’t done, I avoid the cutest part of my closet and go for the passable looks. You know them the dress or top that you can rock a crazy do with and still pass as cute but funky LOL!
Finding a great stylist is like finding an amazing pair of jeans in your size in the middle of a monster sale in Bloomies! (Trust me you’ve lucked up!) So I was so please when I found Nataki Minix co-owner of Co Stars Style Studio. She’s being styling for 11 years… with an outstanding client list spanning from your everyday average Jane to very followed celebs and tv personalities!
But she still manages to be an amazing mom and style star. Known for being apart of Atlanta people to watch crowd. This fashion forward stylist can give you hair and style tips! Because she is very much about the business of making women look and feel beauty. But how does she do the things she “do” so well….*in my Niecey Nash voice*
The secret to her success is her great customer service and her knowledge of all types of hairs. From sassy short cuts to wonderful weaves. She doesn’t just let you do whatever to your hair(no crazy colors that don’t suit you here SMH no ma’am)…she educates on what product, styles and types of hair is best for you. ”If no one has complimented you on your hair in a month it’s time for a change” ~Nataki Minix
Am I the only one that notice that many black people don’t actually date anymore? I mean like pick her up, go to dinner and end the night walking on somebodies beach talking about your childhoods. Well that seems a little “Sleepless in Seattle”, but still there aren’t many people dating anymore. I know we’re in a recession and all, but when did courting stop? What people consider dating now is chilling on the couch and watching a movie. Which the majority of the time it eventually leads to sex because you’re in a place where you have a bed in the next room. When did black people stop dating and go straight to f*cking?
I’ve noticed that women aren’t alarmed that a lot of the men out here don’t take care of their kids. Is it just me or do ya’ll find this a major major issue? How can you turn your back on helpless babies? You don’t care if they eat, sleep or clothed? I know there are some trifflin ass women that hold the babies as ransom because they’re greedy or feel since you don’t wanna be with them then you don’t need to see your kids. I don’t care how much brothas hate the system, that is what a court is for. I’m talking about the men that don’t give a damn and the idiot women that love them. What makes you think having a baby with you will be any different?
I loves me some Estelle baby. Here is the new single from the UK diva feating John Legend and Nas. I am a huge Estelle fan and I can’t wait until her new album drops. I love the beat, the scenery, and she looks fierce. I loves her…*if I didn’t make that clear*. Enjoy!
So we started off “Black Love” week with“How to love a black man”, now we will teach the fellas a thing or two about us. Unlike men, women can be very complicated creatures. The majority of the time we think we need everything, but in actuality we . There are a lot of chicks out there that think everything should automatically be handed to them. A woman knows her self worth regardless of her relationship status, but can appreciate the love and affection given by the opposite sex. The man that has to pleasure of having a real woman in his life must be aware of how to treat her.
Love no matter what the color is never easy. Learning the in’s and outs of the person you’re with can sometimes create a distorted view of men in general. This is generally said about black men. Black men like any other man on this planet are not easily understood. Although most men are from Mars and some from the slums of Jupiter *that was a bad joke*, there is a formula to loving each and every one of them. Many women can never understand the process it takes to love a real black man. Some women think nagging, drama and good pussy is the way to keep a black man at bay. A real woman knows how to love a real man.
Candy Diaries has decided to devote this week to “Black Love” Week. This is the week where we tackle the the issues dealing with romance in the black community. We will disclose the myths and hopefully energize the hearts. Some people think black love is dead, but we’ve seen many successful couples who’ve defied the odds and gotten their love on track. If you believe in the power of Black Love, then I hope you chime in this week. If you’ve totally given up and believe that there is no longer such a thing as love period…please chime in.
“Can you hear me? Can you hear me now?” 43% of relationships end due to lack of communication. How often do you hear “he/she never listen to me” and “they did and we connected” when discussing the demise of a relationship. Men and women want the same things in relationships, it’s just communicated differently at times. Have you ever had a conversation where you’ve clearly stated you want, but gotten the exact opposite in return.
Merely a bad connection…as if you were driving through a tunnel with music blasting but still trying to take the call. But this person is sitting right in front of you. I think it’s best to be up front in relationships, so there is no “mistaking” the intend of either party….COMMUNICATION is key! And once you’ve lost that it’s just as if you’ve lost your cellular signal…*SCREAMING* “Can you hear me, Can you hear me now….” *shrug* Guess it’s a “Bad Connection”.
So what’s the one thing that all women need, want, but absolutely hate shopping for….JEANS! They can be your best and worst enemy, ”lethal weapon” or the “cherry” on top of the sundae. Giorgio Armani said “Jeans represent freedom; they signify democracy in fashion.” And with so many different cuts, colors, styles and brands who knows which pair works best.
Here are a few golden rules from Mr. Armani himself! Every women needs…a pair of five pocket straight-leg jeans. They’re classic and incredibly versatile, and flatter a range of body types. You have to feel confident. Of course, a good fit help create that confidence, so don’t be afraid to spend time finding the right style for you.
*shrug* So what is the perfect fit for your body type? Here’s a few keys rules from tall to plus….and everything we must address in between . Tall try…A slightly boyfriend-y cut gives a cute shape. Look for longer inseams means no high water effect. And a straight not-too-skinny jean with a higher waist shows off endless legs.
Curvy try…Go for roomy but not too baggy darker denim which gives a slimming effect to the leg. A straightish cuts even out your natural curves. And a midrise smooths in all the right places giving a clean lines which leaves you simply fab! Petite try…a low rise to stream line to the illusion of a longer torso. Pocket detailing is your friend gives the image of a high bum…which means longer legs! Skinnies that are extra comfy-slim and snug styles are fit best for your body type…pencil thin legs in heels give the illusion of legs for days.
Plus try…Look for something that offers a little leg room…because it goes a long way. A nipped-in waist gives definition and denim with spandex equals major comfort. Then if the jean…isn’t your cup of tea try a denim skirt, vest, dress or button down oxford to give you the look! Keep these tips handy when you set out to shop next pair of jeans….Because there’s always “One for All”.
*Snapping Fingers* Welcome to the Diary of A Mad Guest Blogger. This is a segment where we feature readers/bloggers that got thangs to say. I want you to give a special hand to “K” of Boissuq.
How important is sex to a relationship?
While on twitter, I jokingly asked, “Do I really want to wobbly wobbly drop drop it like it’s hot?” I was in the moment referring to dancing, however, I received the following response from a male follower:
