Making Your Own Way

“Small places make for small lives. And some people are fine with that. They like knowing where to put their feet. But if you only walk in other peoples steps, you cannot make your own way. You cannot leave a mark.’

Addie’s throat tightens.
‘Do you think a life has any value if one doesn’t leave some mark upon the world?”

Halloween Inspo: Marsha Hunt

Being Marsha Hunt is a perfect Halloween costume, I’m shocked it hasn’t been done more. Not only is she serving signature looks, but they’re perfectly sexy. Quintessential Marsha requires rocking a huge mane, preferably an Afro, colorful hair accessories, leather, fringe, and unforgettable eyeshadow. I’m talking a killer smokey eye, or intricate bold patterns. Sis also loves a bralette, hot pants (a style she helped popularize), hoop earrings and boots. Black is beautiful indeed when you look like that. Which outfit is your fave? Via: Queen Magazine, Pinterest, Patrick Lichfield, Getty Images & Vogue UK

Is Being Sincerely Sorry Easy?

“Could it be that easy? We just have to weep and prostrate ourselves and God forgives everything? But maybe it’s not easy at all- maybe to weep and prostrate ourselves with genuine sincerity is the hardest thing we could ever learn how to do.”

Category Is: No Means No

Say it loud, say it proud, NO. One of my ex-boyfriends told me it’s my favorite word.
Wanna dance? NO.
Can I get your number Slim? NO
Wanna grab a drink? NO
Can I get a dollar? NO
Send nudes. NO…you send nudes, include the eggplant or don’t bother.
Let me take you out sometime. NO.
“Smile.” Hell NO. Don’t tell me wtf to do with my face, random ass nigga I don’t know. The fuck.
Live it, love it, be it. No means no, learn to say it and accept it, because women don’t owe you our time, bodies, energy, or a response. Via: Mean.Vintage & Violets Helll

Halloween Inspo: Bella Baxter

Emma Stone’s award winning performance as reanimated Bella Baxter in Poor Things, has officially entered the annals of Halloween classics. As she grew from child to woman Bella Baxter served looks, topped with iconic brows and hair. Being Bella requires rocking 32 inch tresses loose or braided, ruffles, ginormous shoulders (I’m talking 80’s shoulder pads on steroids), bold color play and high necklines. A cute little consignment shopping, thrift store run, will definitely yield some necessary purchases for this costume. Which look is your favorite?

The Dangers Of Being A Good Girl

They say it in articles, they said it in episode two of English Teacher, I’ll say it now- being a good girl can get you killed.
Don’t be afraid of offending someone you’ve never seen enter your building before at night (read Different Ways To Protect Your Energy).

If you cross the street, then they cross the street, so you cross back and they follow, make a scene.

Let that creepy guy who can’t take a hint know you’ll get him fucked up. Be it by you or someone else. These punks bitches are looking for an easy target. Carry weapons.

Passing out on the train after a debauched night is typical in New York City. While I’ve never been robbed doing it, my childhood friend had her belongings stolen consistently. I’m talking cellphones, wallet, watches, Tiffany’s bracelets, everything. We’re both black, why her? “I think it’s because they don’t know what you’ll do if you wake up, you might start fighting them. They don’t want to risk it.” Whereas my friend didn’t give off that vibe. Energy is everything, criminals learn to read the frequency to spot easy marks. A necessary skill for evading the cops. Be soft, kind and dangerous, it can save your life. Artist: 50Shades.Of .GoodVibes

An Adult To Do List

Saturday morning switch, from racing to watch cartoons to coffee and weed breaks. Eating cereal is something that doesn’t change though, it’s a euphoric experience when stoned. Name a better munchie snack than a bowl of cereal…exactly. Via: VintageStonerArt
