The photo Speaks for itself!
KELIS Rocked this interesting look to the First Annual Data Awards in Hollywood.
This is taking "Different" to another level and those Alexander McQueen Heels are not getting a pass from me.
WORDS I LIVE BY
I've learned that YOU CAN TELL ALOT ABOUT A PERSON by the way he/she handles four things:
a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
GREEN SATIN HEAVEN
These Glamorous Green Satin heels are by MARTINEZ VALERO.
They retail at $174.00 and are worth every pretty penny.
What I love about these shoes are the peacock feathers on the ankle strap and also the fact that the heel is only 3 3/4 inch so they are not to high.

COOKING: DESTINATION "ENGLAND"
I'm just about to Prepare my Dinner today and I will be making my very first Sheppards Pie from scratch! Ive enjoyed sheppards pie before but it was something i picked up frozen from M&M's. I hope this one turns out good because im not the best cook out there but i do like to try new things from time to time and i was told this is a simple meal to prepare. Want to make your own? Heres a recipe for a Double Decker Sheppards Pie I snatched from Rachel Ray's Website.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
One 8-ounce package white mushrooms, caps quartered and stems chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
1 bunch scallions, green portions thinly sliced, white portions finely chopped
1 large poblano chile, seeded and finely chopped
Directions:
1.Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425°. In a saucepan, combine the potatoes with salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water; return the potatoes to the pot. Mash with the cream until smooth; season with salt.
2.In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Crumble the beef evenly across the pan and cook, undisturbed, until the liquid cooks off and the meat begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the finely chopped scallions, the poblano, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the reserved mushrooms, 1/4 cup mashed potatoes and the reserved 1 cup cooking water. Lower the heat and simmer until the juices are thickened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3.Spread slightly more than half of the potatoes evenly in a greased 9-by-11-inch baking dish. Spoon the meat mixture evenly on top, then spoon the remaining mashed potatoes evenly across the filling to enclose. Bake until lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the sliced scallions; let stand for 10 minutes before serving
ENJOY!
MARILYN MONROE SAID:
"It's woman's spirit and mood a man has to stimulate in order to make sex interesting. The real lover is the man who can thrill you by touching your head or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space."
"Men who think that a woman's past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak. A woman can bring a new love to each man she loves, providing there are not too many"

KIM KARDASHIAN LOVES BEBE TO!
In a recent intertview with STYLEWATCH Kim says:
THE HARDEST THING TO SHOP FOR IS...
"Jeans, because my legs are skinny and my butt is big so it's hard to find some that fit both areas." Her brand of choice? bebe! While the star splurges on designer denim from JET, J Brand and 7 for All Mankind, she still can't get enough of bebe's affordable styles. "They fit me so good!"
I would Have to Agree!! I LOVE BEBE!!
LBD APPROVED!
Today I found my perfect LBD on my visit to FRENCH CONNECTION!
Anyone who truly knows me knows that I am Boring most of the times when it comes to picking out what i consider the "Perfect Dress". I love anything BLACK because of course it slims me down, I dont play around with to much color and prints and I always "play it safe" because im just a Simple girl. This season I am on a Mission to add more color to my wardrobe and step out of my box a bit. What I love about this dress was most importantly the FIT, the Petal Puff Sleeves, and at $168.00 I thought it was a steal! If you are looking for the Perfect dress for the upcoming holiday i recommend FRENCH CONNECTION! it Never Lets me Down!
Cheers!

ITS NOT EASY BEING A "WOMAN"
Dealing with "that time of the month" is nothing we enjoy and some of the remedies I find most helpful are drinking ginger tea, taking warm baths to soothe the body, laying in a fetal position, and heating pads. It can be hard but always remember to eat! I was reading online that keeping food in our tummys helps the body to put more energy towards digesting rather than cramping. Caffeine, dairy products, salt, and sugar can increase the possibility and severity of cramps according to HealthMed.com. Of course every womans body is different, we all go through that trial and error process when testing out different rememdies, but its always great to excersise options other than swallowing all those pain killers...
PINEAPPLE JUICE also helps relieve menstrual Cramps due to the fact that it is a source of bromelain - an enzyme that relaxes muscles. THATS RIGHT LADIES! Try it, it may work for you.
Cheers!
YOGA
YOGA is a Great way to relieve Stress and tone your body amongst many other great things. I actually just recently visited a Yoga Class for the first time at my gym and I must say i actually enjoyed it.
Here are 8 basic Yoga Moves I found online at Best Health Mag. Try them in the comfort of your own home or get out and join a Yoga Class in your area if that's what you prefer, you may find it beneficial to you.
ENJOY!

WHERE WILL YOU AND YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER BE THIS VALENTINES DAY? If you dont have the answer to that question because you are unsure of how to celebrate this valentines day I recommend visiting PANTAGES SPA AND HOTEL! Last year me and my Boyfriend visited and I have already made reservations for this year because we enjoyed the experience. The Hotel is nicely decorated with very clean and comfortable rooms and the staff were very friendly. Just a few blocks from Dundas Square, and around the corner from the Eaton Centre, Pantages is in the heart of Toronto's commercial and shopping district which is also great. We enjoyed our Spa visit and I would recommend Pantages for this Valentines day...

FRENCH MANICURE?
I still Love my French Manicure/Pedicure Nails. Once in a Blue moon ill try something different but i MAINLY stick to my classic nails. Maybe because of the fact that i am not in love with my hands, i have dark hands like my mother, i prefer to keep my nails simple and clean at all times. I remeber about 2 summers ago when i sported "Nail Designs" maybe 3 times but they were simple desings.... and now when i see these girls with what i consider "Ghetto Nails" I just SMH. NOW... when i say "Ghetto Nails" I mean 10 Fingers, sometimes 10 colours, and 10 different Patterns, and not to mention the Length. I dont no how some girls Cook and clean with their nails. I mean im not against Patterns and Funky colours but sometimes depending on the pattern itself and the amount of colours you put on ONE nail i think its a bit to crowded. I always think SIMPLE is best.
PEOPLE did a recent "Nailed it!" Edition on Celeb Mani-Pedi Snapshots that the stars recently tweeted...
So what do you think???? I honestly feel JORDIN SPARKS and COURTNEY have way to much going on... Very interesting.
SIMPLE is always best in my opinion.

WORDS OF WISDOM: CHARLES SCHULZ
I received this Email Today and I thought i might Share.
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers.
They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies..
Awards tarnish..
Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worth while.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with..
Easier?
The lesson:
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money...or the most awards.
They simply are the ones who care the most.
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.
You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them.
Just read straight through, and you'll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant. 4 Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress. 6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
