Ladies and Gentlemen…I want to introduce the newest edition to the Candy Diaries family. Amber-Fash is here to share her love of fashion and throw some on the masses.

Her bio:

By no means am I perfect. Hell look at me single mother, trying to working my way to the top in the fashion world, a sister, a daughter and girlfriend…or something like that…but not perfect! Bright, witty, caring, crazy and corky but cute that I am and it’s simple really…I just LOVE FASHION. Because FASHION is the religion…I’m not Jesus but I manage MIRACLES with STYLE…fashion has been my first love since day one! My days start and end with fashion with over 10 years in the business, I’ve joined the cult, drink the kool-aide and served it! Because I’m a dedicated follower of fashion.

So this Sunday is my 30th  birthday and I must say this shit came around fast as hell. I am so grateful and blessed to have gotten this far. There are so many friends that I’ve lost along the way that never made it to this age. God has truly blessed me and for that I am thankful. Within the year I’ve lost some friends and I’ve gained a few. For the one’s I’ve lost I’ve learned no matter how many things you’ve been through together, people just grow apart. The things I did 1o years ago just doesn’t cut it for me now. I’m a grown person for realizing that.

I’ve written about my struggles in love and relationships and I can honestly say I wouldn’t change a thing. Without experiencing what I have I probably wouldn’t be able to appreciate what I’ve got. I’ve been involved in a relationship with someone for a few months and I can honestly admit that he makes me happier than I’ve been in a long time. I want to thank him for coming into my life and making me understand the meaning of friendship and true love. I never expected this relationship. I guess when you least expect it is when it actually moves you more. I love you baby…thank you!!

You guys are the absolute best!!! You guys are the reason I continue to blog. I’ve battled with getting rid of Candy Diaries because I felt like I was losing my initial edge. As I read my past blogs I seemed like a male basher, a bitter bitch that couldn’t get over shit. I wrote in an angry tone. I realized that the people in my past made me into that chick. They’ve helped and harmed me in a major way. I felt like I couldn’t write about certain things, because I felt like I was alone. I realized that I wasn’t the only woman out there hurting. We all have pasts, but it’s truly the past when you can move on from it. You’ve helped me move on!!! Thankies babies!!!

Ok enough of the sappy shit. I’m still gonna be that bitch that brings it with the realness. I’m still gonna keep it 1000 *Yes 1000* and tell you the truth. I don’t sugar-coat so if you’re expecting that because I’m in love and shit, you better keep it moving. It’s a 30′s thang! You know old people say whatever they want and no one can tell em they’re wrong because they’re old right? LMAO. I ain’t old…well I’m older than I was 10 years ago.

Again, thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. From the depths of my soul. You guys make me wanna be the awesomest chick out there.

Love

V.I.

My oh my how times does fly. One year ago today I started Candy Diaries and I never knew what would be in store. It’s been a trying year with a lot of ups and downs and I must say this has been an up in my life. I want to thank everyone who has stuck with me for this year and given me great words of encouragement. I’ve been given a lot of opportunites thus far and I only see more in the future.

My blogs are a collection of my experiences from past relationships. I talk about them because that was my way to heal and grow. You guys have given me so much, you just don’t know. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart and I look forward to more great blogiversaries with you guys.

Smooches
