Looking back on what a vibrant year 2015 has been…did I say vibrant, I meant crazy. Child, I went from 100 to zero to negatives to 70 and concluded the year a strong 80 (Praise God?). While reading some blogs last year, I came across a relationship expert who said, rather than asking the person you’re dating why they broke up with their ex, ask them what their past relationships have taught them.

Once I start to feel the chilly winds in Texas, all I can think of is, Thanksgiving is almost here.

At 25 however, you hear and understand all the other lyrics and my goodness “touch me everywhere?” Barbie girl, you need to get it together. And to think they used to play this song on Cartoon Network like every hour.
Anyhoo, random conversations aside…actually, one more thing, why was the singer’s hair black…not even brown…but pitch black hair and Ken was bold with a voice that sounded like he had a criminal record…like why would they even do that. Okay here’s Style Week 5.

The Style Week 4
The Style Week 3
My spirits have been up all week and no, it wasn’t because of all the coffee I kept chugging down every morning. I have actually had something nice happen to me almost every day of this past week. Allow me to take you through.
