Saturday and Pinterest

So I know it's been a long time since I've posted a post on my blog. In the time since the last post, I've been busy with my classes and work at my job. Still miss my (well I still miss this guy I really really like) babe.

Anyways I want to post about what I tend to be up to and well right now I'm typing this on my phone, soaking my foot in a foot bath, and watching Harry Potter Marathon.
This week has been crazy busy since Hurricane Matthew came through Jacksonville (my house was way to far inland aka Southwest of Jacksonville, we didn't get any damages just power outage for a few hours) it caused classes cancellation and projects/exams date changes that everyone Just felt lost. Plus Thursday night after class I had to run to my other job because we had Waka Flocla performing. Last night (Friday night) was my usual work night, and today woke up feeling cramping  because it's beginning of my shark week.
So now I've been just going through Pinterest and looking through what interesting things to pin, Click here for my Pinterest page.

My Starter Kit at being 24 years old

Now that I’ve been 24yr old for over a month now (Dec 23rd), I realize I need to upgrade and invest on getting things that are best for me. What am I talking about? Well I mean like:

•   Getting out of the lazy skincare routine: I don’t do much I tried but nothing works just breaks me out.
• Actual doing my hair:
•   instead of the old bun, braid, and pony tail look (it looks like I rushed out of bed to prevent from being late [85% of the time I’m rushing])
•  Getting the right product for my hair to keep it looking healthy and not so dull and dead/ewwy.
•   To actual dress like I’m put together:
•  I work in retail for about up to 30hrs a week and looking not so put together people would have no respect to me and the same you never who could be scouting/checking you out. They would know I probably have one pair of jeans and three leggings I wear and only sweater/flannels. I look why out of date when I’m trying to look like what we have in the store I work at.
• When I’m not at work, I’m an Art student I wear either a workout outfit with a sweatshirt, or a bit basic since I’m drawing I got to be very comfortable and not freak out getting charcoal on myself.
• When going out I real lack on my outfit planning, I would go by my mood:
• Do I want to meet someone?
• Girls Night Out: girly, upscale, or just getting drinks to celebrate our anti-valentine days. Lol
•   Just hanging with the boys/friends (coworkers/friends)
•   Date night (rarely/never happens)
•   Concert/event
• Etc…
• Wear some make up but doing it right too.
•    I don’t like wearing makeup because it bother my skin but I ALWAYS wear mascara, and now I try to make my brows my “lively” especially working in retail and the lighting in the store. I would like to wear makeup especially going out just don’t want to look like I don’t know how to contour/blush.
• The right shoes, all I wear are my Sperry’s. It’s comfortable but I not with all my outfits especially during our winter collection, I can finally wear sandals but still need trendy cute shoes.  
•   Including adding in my fitness routine into my schedule. I love the elliptical: while watching the tv show on it. I would love to go for runs outside but I’m start from the very basic on just trying to getting my body cardio, slim some unwanted fats, and not die incase theirs a zombie apocalypse (just saying). Plus I just want to be able to be in a health fit and improve my cardio.

Don’t worry I will be sharing my products and my routines, as well a possible weekly vlog.

Starting February 1^st (which is today haha), is when I’m starting my vlogs J,  you will get some clips of my life by following me around. I’ll try to edit them and post them once a week by Sunday on my YouTube channel. Well That’s all I had in mind and going to catch some sleep.

Have a good night/good day. J xoxo

It a New Year and a New Me! 2016

Hey y’all I’m back

I know it been a while since I posted but here’s what’s up with my life even now that it’s the new year (btw Happy Belated Year of 2016!!!!!). So since I started my new semester at UNF as an Art student in the Fine Art major, I finished with two C’s (not bad passing wise, but I wished I could’ve of gotten B’s),  working crazy hours at my retail job as a Sales Lead Manager (I never hated the Holidays more working for it). If I had little less crazy from work and got more flexible with my classes I would have been okay, at least I passed and the school okayed me to stay in the program (even though I was supposed to get B’s to raise my GPA), and I am now taking Art History 2 online and Drawing 2.  I really got to focus on raising my GPA because it’s now a 1.09 (yay!):

So I started UNF from FSCJ with a 2.8 GPA, after Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters of having hard time with classes (failed most but passed a couple with C’s) when I was in Sociology major minoring in Urban studies which ended later so I had to take History as my new minor. My GPA dropped to a .94; which I thought it was insane ended up suspended for the spring semester, however due to my disability, many paper works, meetings with advisors, and the biggest help of from my favorite Career counselor, the school allow me back to a new major that accepted me. Normally the Deans of each Academic department wouldn’t allow those who are that deep in the struggles of GPA, but I had a feeling the dean saw something within me, they even don’t allow suspended student especially since the Art and Music are the Strictest in our school (to me though I don’t blame them).

I’m really making such I getting B’s (obviously I want A’s), as long I keep up with my project/homework and doing to the work. My job is a bit time consuming but if dint have especially with the pay I’m getting I wouldn’t be able to afford my classes/supplies or even commute to class. Now I’m in art I trying to discover my career path, my retail job is like an open door for: Sales, Marketing, Advertising, Management, Interior Designing, and Stylist. I was trying to have more of a fun yet get to be openly creative to what where I would get to work at. I’ve been looking towards working in the fashion field, I know right, not to many people know me but I use to collect all of Seventeen magazine and even look at others for the Fashion trends, styling tips, even got some advice from my mother since she a fashionista herself (she might know all about the fashion world but dressing up is no joke to my mom. Her closet of her fabulous clothes from her when she was in her 20’s til 2008 (she had her brain tumor and gain some weight from the recovery, she survived it)). I always had such interest in fashion, I might not like some of the girls I know who gets all dressed up and wears make up from known brands, and I’m a bit in my own style trend. I never know my exact “stereotype” of my fashion trend, I like to just make whatever I own work out and be very comfortable for the mood. I could write another blog on this. LOL

Back to the point, I couldn’t believe that how much I really enjoy art. I get so into it that I know I can’t cheat around or bullshit on my art piece because everyone could see it. I even get excited to try other art practices such as ceramic, sculpting, printmaking, even want to try to get photography in my elective. Like in my other many majors I’ve been in I would either get bored or find no point in the purpose for it to be taught. In art I notice that everyone in my class has to draw the same casting but they all have different technique of their own, unlike in my other majors someone paper could be exactly like my just worded differently or had better writing. I know it only the first 2weeks of the semester but I really can’t wait to see my drawing turns out in the end as well my interest in Art history. Speaking of art history, my first professor from Art history 1, she told us how she had a student who was a business major and need credits for his international business course, so after taking her for Art history 1 and 2, and later graduated. He ended landing a job because the Company owner/ceo or manger (he’s boss), has an interest in art that he collects them and even travel world to visit sites. He had a little conversation about their favorite period of art that he ended getting hired and would get invited to art events. Talk about amazing. I even have a Doctor ( in the military hospital, my doctors got deployed, some of them do get deployed or they are lucky to settle) who as such interest in art his wife is an artist and has a mini art gallery in his office (he wants one of my art to be in his galley when I come back for an appointment). Being in art, I notice that I see everything even more interesting in the values it holds, I usually like to stare at things and say things, but in art it’s like I learn to know “why I like it” not just “I like it” it like I have to go deeper. It really amazing it like they say “a picture has a 1000 words.”

Update: I had a very long Spring Break

Oh my goodness, its been to long since I wrote anything in this blog of mine. Well, I'm back *haha*
I have been extremely hustling and resting this Spring, you might be wondering, are you taking any classes? This semester (Spring Term) I was allowed to take any classes. What? Really? How?
Well I ended up getting suspended for this Spring semester because of my failing attempts that domino from when I transferred to the University last Spring till just this past Fall. I pasted a few of my classes however the main reason was my 1st Core class out the four I would need for my Bachelor program in Sociology, I couldn't past the class even on my second attempt.

I could blame the fact that I wasn't getting the help I requested due to the fact I have a learning disability, as well as my professor has an ego that we should be up to his standard of a college student. Another reason could be I was pushing myself hard enough however I didn't feel passionate to push myself to go outside the box of understanding/studying for my classes. I had that feeling "why am I do this, if I love something I would be making myself go crazy to understand and push my limits to show that I could this and the benefits of getting a grade.

Further more of the reason, I might of been to into the social environment, I before during my last summer for my A.A. classes, I made friend who enjoyed going to the nightlife. The different between her and I, She been the social party girl and knows how to balance that, work, and school; Me on the other hand, I never club nor gone to the bars before (I've only gone to club back in my freshmen year at my very old college but maybe 6 times of that year just to dance after an exam/birthday). I never gone to the local clubs here in the city or to the bars since I finally turned 21 at the time. Since the couple of times I gone out with her after the semester and especially during her birthday night (never drank a lot before also learned to never mix drink), We are still good friends till this day and I'm not blaming her for anything at all, I thank her though for introducing me to the city socialize people from Big Djs, model, owners, etc.. talk about social networking.
Since I transferred to UNF while she was still finishing getting her A.A I met a few people from the club and school, been going almost every club night or Bar night (no drinking) to keep the social. OMG, I got caught to being really social it insane, now I trying to make it a strict rule for myself: only go to the club when its a Birthday, GNO, or Performance; Bars on some weekends with friends that way we all can go when we all have a night/weekend off. Being 23 now, I not going to lie but I got to experience the 18 or 21 year life I couldn't get to enjoy. Not going to lie I learned a lot about socializing with people it was like a social experiment.

The last reason, I started working as well right when I transferred to UNF, I work at the bookstore on campus and later on promoter for the club just to get extra cash. I never had to work when I was getting my A.A. degree so I had time to focus in my classes. However, the classes I was taking were to difficult to study ( I have a very poor study habit since I left high school). The same time this is my first actual job, I had work before and got my paycheck but all I done was set up and take down, and keep score for the intermural sports at Stetson. Here at the bookstore, I never thought I could work casher, retail, online orders, as well textbooks all in one. Since I have been working I notice that it took time from my studies, plus the fact both school and work are a 1 hour commute from my house. Now that I am not taking a semester of classes I just work however, they cut hours so I only work 2days a week which is ridicules for a 1hr commute.

The suspension didn't go the way I thought, I had to fill out an appeal to get back in the program as well back to UNF, they denied me from the Sociology. :(

I already talk to a Career Counselor to help figure out a major that would be best for me. She was Amazing, I believe I mention all about this experiences in my last blog post. Anyways, she suggested Art Major, she took art as a major and her husband was in the same boat too, it was nice that someone who not only been on the same boat o what to major in but the fact her husband had a similar struggle with his major before changing to Art. She believe I could express more and why not have a major where all you do is color, draw, paint, and play around with ceramic. Well because I got denied from Sociology, my new Sociology felt bad and she wants be to have great college experience and finish happy and prove myself to a successful life, she knew I talked to the counselor about art she wanted me to Appeal back in for Art in the mean time I already met the Art Advisor and He believe this would be amazing for me, he helped me every way to make sure I get in.

I was told by my Career Counselor, I should go to the Career Fair to get a good experience in a Job opportunity, turned out the first only job that was really excited to want me was Aeropostale, I was shocked, and have also of thinking to do because I would have to leave my bookstore job for them. Same time I was concern about the appeal, so I had a back up plan, as always in order to hustle in my Life. I went to my college where I got my A.A. degree, to apply for the Management Bachelor degree. I still have more paperwork to turn in since I still live at home with my mom (talk about great benefits though).

Well I sent my Appeal and He email me back 2days later to say he was excited to tell me that I got accepted for the Art program. The great thing about taking art was I took drawing 1 class already for my A.A. elective class and I had so much fun and got a B+, I never thought m drawings would be graded that high. I am really nervous about this change in my life and having to realize that I'm 23 years old abut to become more adult to life. 

• Getting Accepted to the Fine Art major
• Got a job offer for Aeropostale
• Having Great close friends to be with and all are pressuring to reach for their career. No matter if they are married, far or near, they are the best supporters.

For now I'm still hustling everything before I have to let go of a lot of things and take dive in to the deep end. Goodbye 3ft deep pool, Hello 8ft deep pool. *Haha*

I will be making video blogs soon so do follow me :)

The Rules of Fashion

*Sorry for the lack of posts*

Growing up my mother always loved to dress me up. I was like her baby doll plus even my fathwer wanted to be sure I was in style no matter how young I was. My mother has a passion for fashion, she might never had much of an oppitunite but No Matter where you are from the Rules exsited. She always had her own style of wear however my father was more the Man with Good Tatste, he like brands for example he's favotire brand of sunglasses are Ray Bans. My father would splurge on some stuff that he'll know will last long when taken care of.

As for me I love to have my own Style still would to go to my mother for the okay. Even thou I am older (22 years old soon to be 23 in Dec.) I should be more mature of my style, also shows what store you shop at. In that case I could still pull off well mature looks from Walmart (budget), however sometimes I still have shirts form when I was in Jr/High school.

Meanwhile, I'm just trying to be more focus in college and trying not to gain anymore weight than I already have. *not trying to me lose so much weight just to lose 20lbs of fat just so I can be healthy and lean.
I doing this for myself to be more comfortable in my clothes and no suffer have to not wear some outfits becasue it would be to tight or show my love handles. Unless you know where to shop for your size than perfect but for me some stores only have certin size (since I don't shop online). My style would be more whatever im in the mood/occation (not a very fashionable term here).
I either dress to what I feel in the mood for at the same time where/what I'll be doing that day/night. probably the most laziest for when I go to class is gym wear.
My mother is more Chic Bohimen and my Dad was more that Beachwear the kind of the guy who would smoke a cigar on the beachshore.  (I also love to follow fashion blogs as well)

Anyways lets get back to point, even til this day with the struggle to wear a cute outfit (weight problem, budget, miminal clothing wear, etc..) These rules should be remember no matter your taste in style however you can still bend and/or break the rules (I know you are a Rebel). I would say these rules from Glamour Magazine (UK) has it down that even my mother agrees, The Rules of Fashion.

Tell me what are your Fashion Rules that you follow?
Do you agree or disgree with these rules?
Tell me whats is your fashion style and why do you think describes you?
Do you have a fashion blog and/or do you follow anyone who does?
whats your favorite Desginer

Do you Have a Tumblr?

Do you have Tumblr? if so you should follow me.
Link is on the side  under Follow me or >>>Click Here to Follow my Tumblr<<<

If not you should make one. People say Tumblr is stupid and its has to much nude, drugs, etc...
well it all depends on who you follow. plus some bloggers don't use Blog Spot they use Tumblr has their blog site. For me I use it to express a bit of my self by reblog images and words, but sometimes I use it to share random thoughts, tweets, very deep personal moments of my life or just personal thoughts, instagram pictures, random pictures I think are funny and/or very expressive.

I personal love Tumblr because I get to interact with random strangers and later become Tumblr friends and I also get to know more about their life by just scrolling through their blog. Most times you will be amazed by how random a stranger may be form you hometown or another student for your school. I got to message people from the two university I was applied to even though I already chosen one already but I still got to know them and found out their were also majoring in my major of interest, some were just other student from those campuses. Also There are other bloggers that are willing to answer your personal or random questions. I asked two different bloggers that do their on zodiac and I asked them for some advice based on my signs and others, kind of like a psychologist (their really are helpful, especially from a random outsider view). Another blogger I asked for some advice does fitness and diet, she lost so much weight and she was helpful when I asked her about her weight loss and how would my body change from clothes size to clothes size. (that's my issue). Most times I get random people asking me questions about my blog or about me (sometimes its a bit much).

Last thing I love about Tumblr is I also promote/advertise (freely) my friends site, blog, and/or even events. That way anyone going or interested in wanting know about who they are could check them out. few times I would see who else is going to any event I'm going to hopeful meet them and we could be come friends.
I done it for my close friend boyfriend and his friends/crew of their gig like when and where their performing (Mostly at Techno/House/Electronic Music Festivals). That way whoever is going to any of the festivals their preforming at could check them out.
I would also mention bands or other people/friends I have a good interaction with and share to everyone. Don't worry I will share them on here too.
I mention I was going to an event like EDC Orlando and I got to meet people that I have interacted with and we hung out.

There are many blogs on Tumblr to follow from Fitness, Religion, Fashion, Music, Personal, Sex, Funny Videos, Food, Makeup, Hair, Diet, etc...

Celebrity look a like

 I didn't realize till I was listening to Lorde (Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O'Connor) who most hit song is Royals, that I looked like her.

I did a heat oil treatment to my hair yesterday evening cause it need some treatment for the damage and winter makes my hair dry. after the treatment I would let it air dry and let my natural wave/curls be. I normally don't like my hair like this since its humid here in Florida so its to much to keep control of my waves/curls. Unless I go to an event where my hair is curled by curler.

I like to define my eyebrows a bit during the fall and winter to give that seasonally look. plus its wont sweat off in the heat.

Im just wearing the usual:

 tinted moisturizer( depending on my skin or if I have something to do which today I have a meeting.)
upper lid waterline with the eyeliner pencil,

mascara upper lashes,

define my eyebrows (season),

and because I have to go to a meeting I add a hint of gold light shimmer and brown matte eye shadows.

 

"You Can Call me Queen Bee"

 

My Tumblr is Blooming

I never thought how much fun and addicting Tumblr is.
I was alittle self cautious about what I post, reblob, or say on it thinking people would judge me but its nothing like Facebook or Instagram you can post whatever with judgment free.

I love it I can say, post, and/or reblog whatever I like and if someone else likes it they would do the same, if not then can scroll by.

I have so many follows than I started out with I guess the more things you post about your thoughts or visions people would like it. if you just reblog its get boring thou interesting at the same time.

If you have a Tumblr awesome you should follow me.

If you don't have one get one. Its not juts porn stuff you know there's cats, flowers, advices, picture quotes, music lyrics, even musicians share their thoughts on their page.
Most people thinks there porn, well everything has porn even instagram, vine, facebook, etc.....

Some stuff you can for you school research too. I found one post of the subject topic that I had to do my paper on plus it was helpful cause it had a link to it so I don't have to put down Tumblr for my word cited I could put the link it came from.

I Love it.

Follow at Bo23phil

New Begining Update, Vlog!

The CEO that HATES Fat People!

The CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, H&M, Hollister Co., etc..

his name is

  Mike Jeffries

This guy is disgusting and must be really stupid of himself to think this. here is the story

>>>>>>>>>Click here<<<<<<<<<<<

 I remember going to the store and this really pretty girl and want to work at one of three of the stores and she told that same day that she  can't work there why? because she had a fake arm. How horrible is that. poor thing.

I have so many stories about these stores that I witnessed and gone through.
I mean even in high school I pretty fit from being in sports( shirt size M, pants 3/5, dress 5) and still had hard times shopping most of these places.
Now that I gained after Junior year of high school to now( shirt size XL-XXL, pants 9/11, dress idk lol)  and trying to lose the weight now.

Thank God most guys I know back in high school hated to see me wearing these brand clothes anyways cause I wore one (pink Hollister Co. Shirt once it was a pink shirt and I needed for Breast Cancer day and my guy friends thought I was some chick wearing Label to promote. unless its a logo then its fine but if it had the name of the store on it then yeah no.
the only thing I like about American Eagle is I could find (some) cute tops that's XL and H&M is for having deals on dress thou I haven't find any cute ones yet.

I only go to Hollister Co. for their Sandie Perfume (which is in and out of seasons sometime).
and as for Abercrombie & Fitch I use to buy their flip flops only.
Overall I'll go to these places for their jewelry sometimes
Now I shop other places like Forever 21, dELiA*s, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Cotton On, WetSeal,Tillys  etc.... pretty much more mall clothes lol.

I think All clothes should be for All Shape and Sizes. Unless you have skills to make you own then your good.

Our body is beautiful. We are learn what is our weakness, strength, need, for our body to maintain living. sure we are damaged, hurt, and/or toxic our body. Its our body that represents who we are from inside out. accident, cancer, and/or disease happens/comes in our life. Clothes are just and exterior cover of our creative/personal emotions. Some of are grown in our bodies from small to tall, big or small, and have body parts that we like/dislike. if you learn to love your body for how it is then you can learn and figure out why its important that you are unique.
I'm a very tall about 5 foot 10 1/2 inches wear size 9-11 in shoes, my legs are long and have big thighs, my torso is very short (my stomach is right under my lungs so it feels like it), about B cup breast, small  semi flat/firm booty, little bit of a broad shoulder. I sometime cry wondering how come I eat less but still don't look like a model/ attractive (my confession). Turned out I learn that my legs might be long athletic looking but damn they are strong when I use them. my feet are big for a girl but they help me balance, and kick things. my boobs might be a Bcup but I can flatten them a little to fit in small spaces when I need to reach for things. speaking of reaching my arms are long my I can reach/grab thing high or low. I could go on...

be blessed on what you are given from looks, to body only you know who you work. I might have a flawless face nor a perfect body but a clothing line wont stop be form buy clothes.

Besides there are Millions of other clothing line is kind of fun explore for clothes that suits you and fits you. I think of it as part of an Adventure. You'll be surprise on deals yours find on clothes that fits and looks great on you. sometime the price rage is perfect.
as for Style again its describe by who you are/personality. I could go on but I can't cause everyone is different on their taste/style with their personality and who they are..

What do you think about this? Do you think he's right or wrong?
Do you shop at any of these stores the He runs?
Where do you like to shop?
Do you have any stores you like to shop that I might not know about please do share?
What is your style?
Do you think shopping for clothes is like an Adventure too?


 Update 5/11/13: Abercrombie & Fitch burns all its unsold clothes. They won't donate because its a bad image for the company for poor people to have their clothes.
