Short Summer Do's

It's Summer... and it is hot! Some women wear less clothing, some wear caps, and others opt for a cute, short hair cut!

There are a few celebs that are famous for their short and sassy hair, such as; Halle Berry, Rihanna, and actress Michelle Williams. These ladies show how fun and free going short can be; by adding flips, spikes, extended bangs or you can be as brave as my girl E.v.e and go real low. 

While it may look easy to maintain, those who have it would agree that the grooming is just as time consuming, if not more, as longer hair.

Before you decide to chop your hair, choose a style to suit your facial structure, think about your lifestyle and how much time you have in the mornings and nights to put into styling, curling etc.

Getting a routine trim is important in order to keep the shape of your cut and edges looking healthy .

Finally, don’t stress too much if your hair cut is not what you expected, your hair will grow back! :) You can visit TRY-A-HAIRSTYLE - VIRTUAL MAKEOVER where you can upload your face and test hairstyles before you actually get them. Have fun!

Tameka Foster's son & Usher's Stepson, 
Kile Glover, Died!

The mother of Kile, Tameka Foster, allegedly made the hardest decision a mother should have to make, after being told that her son's full recovery was not likely. She is also said to have been unable to pay the medical bills required to keep her son on life support, after the family's insurance company coverage expired.

It was less than a month after Usher's stepson Kile Glover was declared brain dead after a brutal jet ski accident on July 8, Glover has passed away. It is reported that the he died Saturday morning after being taken off of life support.

Glover was injured on July 8, as he was riding in an inner tube that was connected to a pontoon in Lake Lanier. According to authorities, a family friend who was riding a jetski behind the pontoon lost control and collided with Glover's tube. The accident is currently under investigation.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of such a beautiful young child, who was just beginning his life! I cannot imagine what Tameka is going through right now.

JACKPOT... PLOT? Jermaine and Randy Jackson Respond to Allegations...

JACKPOT... PLOT?

Jermaine and Randy Jackson Respond to Allegations...

Am I the only one wondering when will the Jackson saga end?
It is alleged that Jermaine and Randy Jackson, brothers of the "King of Pop" are caught up in some shady dealings in attempt to get at Michael Jackson's money. Sources connected to MJ's Estate, claims the plot involves their mother Katherine Jackson. 

Sources close to the estate said; Randy and Jermaine are seeming that, Katherine is no longer physically and mentally able to control Michael's estate and that those in control are failing to manage it properly.

Further, they believed that Randy and Jermaine are trying to appoint themselves as her Guardian, which would give them access to more than $70,000 a month.

A  letter was signed by siblings Janet, Randy, Tito, Reebie ad Jermaine, demanding that the Executors of the MJ Estate step down, claiming the executors are failing to manage the estate, causing Katherine to suffer a stroke. (Folks close to Katherine claims, there was no stroke) 

They believe Randy and Jermaine are low on cash and know when Katherine dies, all of MJ's money will go to charity and in trust for Michael's kids.

After the story broke, a statement was released by Jermaine Jackson, through a representative, saying:

"I note that this 'story' comes from 'sources close to the Estate'. It, therefore, does not surprise me that such a wildly false claim is being invented, presumably to deflect attention away from this family's very real concerns about the Estate."  

"This claim is as far-fetched as it is untrue, but such are the anti-Jackson falsehoods we have come to expect from 'sources close to the Estate.'"

"I will reiterate that this family's first and foremost concern is our mother's health, welfare and well-being. Nothing else."

If you remember my story a few weeks ago; it stated that the Jackson's estate was booming and able to cut MJ's debt down significantly.  Wow! sounds like great management to me!? #2 why did the other siblings sign the letter?

What I do get from all of this is there is definitely trouble in the Jackson camp and it is over his estate... Who's telling the truth? Only time will tell.

Beyonce and Baby Blue Ivy in NYC

OUT AND ABOUT ::: BEY and BLUE Ivy

Sorry i'm late with this... I am not feeling well today :( and I didn't know whether to go with a "Blue" or pink theme for this story. Hee hee ; )


So the Carter's were doing a great job keeping baby Blue under wraps! until today... oh the beauty of camera-phones...
Beyonce was spotted in The Big Apple (NYC) holding her now 7-month-old baby girl and from what we can see clearly... she is growing quickly. Bey rocked her new hair-do, it took me back to the old Destiny's Child days.


Is it just me or does Bey seem smaller than usual, maybe she is on a post-baby diet. Oh well...

What do you think of her new look? Do you think baby Blue looks like Jay-z? I can see a resemblance.

Love & Relationships - Part 1

 ~ Love & Relationships ~ 

 We all know the basic keys to a Long, Healthy and Successful Relationship, but, sometimes we need a little reminder right? :) 

A healthy relationship must consist of:

1. APPRECIATION: Every human-being wants to feel appreciated. We expect it from our bosses, friends, children, family members, heck even our pets; so without a doubt we expect it from our significant other. The key is to put it into action. People say all the time "I appreciate you" but, think about it... if it's not seen or felt then to most it doesn't exist.
So why not buy a small gift every month, make offers to make your special someone's day a little easier; whether it be- offering to do the dishes, drive them to work, or rub their tired feet. :) There is much you can do, so you decide what suits you.


2. FORGIVENESS: This is probably the most common problem most couples face, some situations are simple, others more complex. Forgiveness is necessary if you want your relationship to elevate. Punishing, ignoring, and spitefulness won't work, it may make you feel better to give him/her a hard time, but it will eventually lead to resentment. Evaluate the situation and remember, forgiving someone is not just for them, but for your health as well.


3. COMMUNICATION: Hidden resentments poison a relationship; so if something bothers you, say it. Ladies, remember that while men are wary of emotional conversations, they love to find solutions. Express your problem and then ask him to help you find the answer. Men, do not ignore a possible problem, you should know your partner well enough to know when something is bothering them, so inquire.

4. ACCEPTANCE: I understand there are some things your partner may do consistently to your annoyance, whether it's grinding their teeth, leaving the toilet seat up or when he/she leaves hair in the sink. The key is realizing that we are all imperfect. So instead of allowing yourself to become angry and cause a rift; help him/her find ways to resolve their personal peeves, put the toilet seat back down; doesn't he have to lift it up? then clean the sink with love, I guarantee you won't remember it minutes later. Realizing that we all have our faults and your partner comes with them.


5. PASSION: All relationships start with a certain level of passion. The key is to maintain it or if the flame was lost, find the things that existed in the beginning to light that fire again.
Do things that will most likely restore good feelings in your relationship; like, give your partner a genuine, loving and approving smile or hug once a week.
