I am in bed right now and I am feeling the best feeling of deja vu. I am in my bed and there is the sound of the fan purring. Then I focus on the other sound going on and it is a faint sound of jazz. Even the way I placed my bed reminds me of home. I can never tell anyone that i had a bad childhood because it was great. I can remember being home in my bed and listening to the tv and the fan lulling me to sleep. Well Goodnight.
I am walking up to class and I look into this car and this Doberman was in the passenger seat. When I looked at it, it looked right back at me and we had a MOMENT. that was soooo cool!!Then right after that GREAT Moment I almost missed the elevator and had to write another note about what happened on the elevator. The note:
Then I was trying to get on the elevator and got on just in time. Then the guys that were on the elevator was going to the 3rd floor. When the elevator reached the 3rd floor one guy came out and the other guy was like this is the 3rd floor. The first guy said yes that is the floor we going to. LOL.
If you haven’t worn something in over a year, get rid of it.Uhhh.... oh.... ok... I just noticed... there are .... 9 tips.!!!! Well I emailed the chick at Cloves. She might change it to 9 tips or she might throw in an extra one but I hope these are helpful though!!!
Donate, sell, or give it away. Think of it as “losing weight.” You will
feel so much lighter without ever having to diet.
Trust your personal style.
Be true to yourself while being in fashion. If this advice makes
you feel uncomfortable your waistband is too tight.
Your haircut and colour tell people a lot about you.
A good haircut can be as liberating as removing your bra at the
end of the day. If you color your hair professionally, find the best
colourist you can. If you can afford it, spend the extra money, so
you don’t look like Rainbow Sherbet. You’re worth it.
Wear comfortable shoes.
I dress from the floor up. Feet first! If you wear heels, wear ones
that do not torture. If you choose to suffer the stilettos, think of
them as a dual purpose P.P.D. (Personal Protection Device). If
anyone attacks you, defend yourself by making him wear them.
It’s normal to fear altercations, but not alterations.
Think about it: How can one size 10 fit every size 10 woman in
Antigua? Something’s got to give and it is probably your waistband,
hem, armhole or chest. For a small amount of money, an
alteration gives you a “couture” piece, made just for you. This
rule can also apply to items already in your closet but not the
clothing you’re giving away from Item #1 on this list. Cloves do alterations for free for items purchased at Cloves.
There are one thousand stylish things you can wear while traveling...
that have nothing to do with shorts, a baseball cap, a baggy
collared shirt, running shoes with socks, a ponytail and a
fanny pack. If there is ever legislation proposed to band these
items from the suitcases of traveling persons, I will be its
spokesperson.
If you travel a lot, have a packed toiletries bag
ready to go.
Don’t go crazy trying to find the right size shampoo bottles at
the last minute. Packing toiletries and makeup is as stressful as
removing your shoes at the security check while keeping an
eye on your computer, purse, belt, and keys. Is wearing stilettos
considered carrying a weapon?
Simplify your makeup if you wear makeup.
All you need is foundation, a black pencil liner, a brown shadow,
black mascara, a cream blush, a translucent powder, one natural
lip liner, a sparkly lip gloss and three shades of lipstick
(pinkish, natural and a red). I hope you didn’t take a nap during
that list. But that is all you’ll ever need and it can fit in your purse.
Every time you buy a new version of any of the above, with your
freshly painted lips, kiss your old ones goodbye.
Enjoy new bedclothes once a year.
Even though you think no one sees you, YOU see you. Get rid of
the “broken in” faded black sweats and t-shirt you bought three
years ago. “Vintage” does not apply to P.J.s.
Compliments Cloves “brands you know”
There are a million reasons to get frustrated each day. At cloves, we advocate (sensibly) bringing peace to the parts of your life that are in your control. Case in point: The weather's getting cooler and you wake up each day trying to cobble together a sharp look from clothes that work great on their own but don't function well in the context of your wardrobe. It's frustrating, like playing concentration with a child who's much, much smarter than you.
Or, maybe you have plenty of great-looking, wearable basics but you haven't seen them in months because they're packed away, replaced by something trendy you just bought.
We've all been doing it: buying clothes on sale or from shopping sites offering bargains on designer clothes. It's great to get deals. It only becomes a problem when you hoard the old stuff because you're attached to it, or buy things you wear only once and don't have much use for thereafter. Like a failing relationship with somebody you never loved, it's time to cut your losses and read that son of a gun the riot act.
How to get rid of your clothes:
First, commit a few hours to cleaning out your closet and sorting through your clothes. Think of it as bringing necessary order to your living space and morning routine -- it'll actually make getting up and out much more enjoyable. The next step is simple and not debatable: Anything you own that you do not wear, never loved wearing or experience an ounce of regret when looking at must be eliminated from your wardrobe post-haste. It's like keeping around pictures of an ex-girlfriend/boyfriend while looking for a new one: futile (and just a little pathetic).
If you're having difficulty deciding what to keep and what to ditch, here are a few more practical suggestions to make it easier:
1 - If you haven’t worn it in one year, toss it;
2 - Categorize your wardrobe into three piles: yesterday, today and tomorrow. Toss whatever is in the yesterday pile. Chances are you wavered a bit on No. 2 and still have a big pile of "maybes," and haven't yet come to terms with what you're going to do with it. Well, these garments have one last chance and then they're gone.
Take stock of your clothes:
There's actually one step before throwing down the gauntlet of your old clothes. Pants that are a bit too wide in the leg? Suits that fit a touch looser than you prefer? In many cases, a good tailor can rebuild the garments for a lot less than the cost of new ones. Twenty dollars to rework a pair of slacks beats buying new ones; plus, you'll develop a relationship with a tailor, the best of whom pride themselves on making you look your best.
Donate your clothes:
Even the best tailor can't fix something you're bored with, so, after you've taken stock, whatever remains must go. Fortunately, there are local nonprofit organizations all over the country that can put your clothes to immediate use.
Your wardrobe should be functional and versatile, the material extension of your attitude and outlook -- it’s not just a collection of crap that you wear. The first step toward refining it is getting rid of all the things you don’t wear. It’s a few hours well spent on your sanity and your look.
Dark circles under the eyes can give your face a less than youthful glow. Even if you have no other lines or wrinkles, those bags under your eyes can make you age instantly. Thankfully, there are many different ways you can prevent and treat dark circles, and there’s no better way to do that than with homemade remedies that you can find in your own kitchen. Here are six ways:
1. Drink Water
One of the most important steps in preventing dark circles is drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day. Water is not only beneficial in preventing dark circles, but also keeping your skin hydrated all day.
2. Cucumbers
One of the oldest tricks in the book, and most widely used too. Make it a habit to place slices of cold cucumber to your eyes 2-3 times a week. Leave on for 10-15 minutes.
3. Potatoes
Just like cucumbers, potatoes also help to take away the darkness from underneath the eyes. Place two cold, thin slices of potato on your eyes and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
4. Rosewater
Another great way to reduce dark circles is to soak a cotton ball in rosewater and place on the eyes. Make sure the rosewater is chilled and sit back and relax for about 10 minutes!
5. Tea Bags
Tea bags are also a great way to reduce dark circles. Just place two warm teabags over your eyes and leave on for 15 minutes. You’ll notice a different almost immediately.
6. Sleep
It’s no wonder that sleep is the number one cure for dark, tired eyes. So make sure you get at least 7 hours of sleep each night and that you drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruits and veggies!
By Cynthia Nellis,
Wedding Guest Style for Her
• Informal Daytime: Short dress or suit (business attire OK for morning weddings)
• Informal Evening: Cocktail dress
• Semi-Formal Daytime: Short dress or suit
• Semi-formal Evening: Cocktail dress
• Formal Daytime: Short dress or suit. Hats and gloves optional.
• Formal Evening or Black-Tie: Long or dressy short cocktail (beading, glam accessories, wrap)
• Ultra-formal or White Tie: Long gown, extra glitz (furs, diamonds, etc.)
Do's and Don'ts for Her
• Don't wear white because it competes with the bride. There are plenty of other colors available.
• Don't wear black or sequins during the daytime.
• Don't worry about wearing the same colors as the bridesmaids or mothers. You can't possibly coordinate with everyone in the wedding party.
• Do wear something feminine and appropriate, out of respect for your hosts. Clubwear, overtly sexy clothing (strapless, see-through, etc) doesn't belong at a wedding. If you have to ask if it's appropriate, it probably isn't.
• Don't wear opera-length gloves (to top of arm) with anything but sleeveless or strapless gowns.
• Do take off gloves to eat or drink.
• Do use good judgment if the invitation doesn't specify the formality of the event. A pastel suit or soft floral dress for daytime or a little black dress for evening (after 6 p.m.) will take you almost anywhere.
Wedding Style for Him
• Informal Daytime: Dress shirt and pants, preferably a sports jacket.
• Informal Evening: Suit
• Semi-Formal Daytime: Suit
• Semi-Formal Evening: Dark suit
• Formal Daytime: Dark suit and tie
• Formal Evening: Tuxedo (if invitation states "black tie") or dark suits if women wear short dresses.
• Ultra-formal Evening or White Tie: White tie, vest and shirt.
Do's and Don'ts for Him
• Don't try to get cute with a tuxedo. A black tux with white shirt and black bow tie is the best way to go. If "Creative Black Tie" or "Texas Formal" or some sort of other vague formal description is used, then going with a tux and black shirt, no tie, might be acceptable. Also, trendier cities like Los Angeles and New York might be more accepting of breaking with tradition.
• Do wear a dark suit, with a tie if the wedding is after 6 PM, and doesn't say "Black Tie."
• Don't wear a tuxedo during the day time, regardless of the formality of the event.
• Do use good judgment if the invitation doesn't specify the formality of the event. A dark suit and conservative tie will take you just about anywhere

thats what makes us all unique
Mayeshah!!! 6:29 pm
yup
Bn 6:30 pm
just not fair that you say im scary or i make you uncomfortable
Mayeshah!!! 6:30 pm
scary because you get upset about stuff really easy.
uncomfortable because of some of your jokes
Bn 6:31 pm
which you never told me which ones so i dont get what
everyone gets upset and angry doesnt mean they are scary....
Mayeshah!!! 6:33 pm
but what you have to know what had made me scared of when ppl get upset and angry alot was my dad who he would get mad and his words really hurt so i just afraid of when people get angry so easily
Bn 6:35 pm
well idk your dad or what he did
but im not scary so you dont need to say that
and i didnt know i had to watch my mouth
Mayeshah!!! 6:36 pm
you dont have to watch your mouth
what makes me uncomfortable does nothing to other people so it is not you it s me
Bn 6:37 pm
what do u mean
Mayeshah!!! 6:38 pm
what makes me uncomfortable doe not make other people uncomfortable so you dont have to change just because of me
Bn 6:39 pm
well i want an example lol
which you dont have
Mayeshah!!! 6:41 pm
see if i not gonna give any examples because i dont want you to change because of me
Bn 6:41 pm
just tell me i wanna know
Mayeshah!!! 6:45 pm
ok an example of what had made me uncomfortable one time is when (defenseless bf) was here and he was explaining something you cut him off and told him no one cared.
Bn 6:47 pm
thats our relationship i have done that since the beginning
i dont do that anymore
Mayeshah!!! 6:47 pm
yea but it just made me uncomfortable that day
but that is just me
Bn 6:48 pm
the relationship i have with (defenseless bf) has nothing to do w. you
so you shouldnt feel uncomfortable when hes here
thats absolutely ridiculous
Mayeshah!!! 6:48 pm
ok i am sorry
i am sorry for how i feel
Bn 6:49 pm
im just saying
the way i act around him doesnt have to do w. you
Mayeshah!!! 6:49 pm
ok
but i am sorry
Bn 6:50 pm
for what
Mayeshah!!! 6:50 pm
for being uncomfortable and scared
Bn 6:50 pm
i just find it ridiculous
Mayeshah!!! 6:51 pm
it is just how i was raised and the people i have been around
Bn 6:53 pm
i come from an Irish Catholic family so I have a good head on my shoulders
you might not see that but i do im a good person no matter what anyone has to say
Mayeshah!!! 6:54 pm
i never said you had a good head on your shoulders
you are a great person
Bn 6:55 pm
i try to be to everyone
and i hate that like you think these things about me
Bn 6:57 pm
and amber always tells me i need to stop caring
because it gets me nowhere
Mayeshah!!! 6:57 pm
you dont have to be a great person to everybody
i know that because i have tried all my life and i still have people who have a problem with me.
one of my best friends told me that she feels that I explain myself too much and sometimes it sounds like excuses. and I see where she is coming from with that but that is how i was raised.
and you even told me to not care what the other girls say
or think
so i try to live my day one day at a time
what happens happens
Bn 6:58 pm
the way i was raised though i am a very giving and caring person
so when people dont like me or have a problem with me it kills me
and yea i try to live my life day to day but it gets hard sometimes
Mayeshah!!! 6:59 pm
i understand that
and i know what you mean when you say it kills you when someone dont like you
Bn 6:59 pm
and i shouldnt care about other people sometimes but i just care too much and people walk all over me for that
Mayeshah!!! 6:59 pm
i felt that pain the other night when amber was talkin to you when you were cleaning under the stove
but i cant change people so i dont try
Bn 7:00 pm
when (defenseless bf) was here?
Mayeshah!!! 7:00 pm
yes
Bn 7:00 pm
what did she say i dont even know
Mayeshah!!! 7:00 pm

Bn 7:01 pm
i didnt know that nor did i care
i was cleaning so i could cook
Mayeshah!!! 7:02 pm
but i find you as a great person with a great spirit but i just feel uneasy about some stuff. as i said before you dont have to worry about it. I cope!
i love you for who you are
and i would never change your for anything
