I was pleased
I'm a new music fien and love discovering it for myself
Especially when it's close to home
Live music is the best!!!
I am one to break out in dance to a groovy beat or new funky skatting
This right here??
This singer was the last act at Suwanee's music and arts festival
In a snippet she is...
A mixture of Erykah Badu
Nina Simone
Tina Turner
Estelle
Janelle Monae
Yeah...A lot =O!
Youtube her. It's worth it!

Tribal enough???
I have always LOVED to bring out my Nigerian side.
Not only with my eccentric hip beads, bangles and colors only from the motherland, but prints, and the many different ways to wear them.
Now what seems to be semi mainstream fashion (Though I was going to rock* it this summer anyway) is the infamous tribal prints***
Found in swimsuits, dresses, leggings and more tribal prints have made their stance in this summer's fashion trends.
Not to be fooled not EVERYONE can pull this look off!!!
I.e
1. If your print is full body and b/w add a pop of color in a purse, shoe or even outerwear
2. Never mix two prints of different colors
3. Try to mix a bland, (khaki, jean or white) basic, *top, bottom, jacket* to balance it off especially if you're just starting to test tribal prints (or any prints) out.
And hey! Who says this fashion is only for women???
Please try it MEN =]
I'd love to find a tribal fashion prince on the streets of ATL* =*
More of these styles can be found on the following sites.

Total opposites I tell ya*

Life is
Something I haven't fully digested yet.
Not to complicate your view on me or my blog
Because I'm sure your trying to figure both out...
But I think I got the gist of life.
Well "A" gist of it..
Here is my take
You can't give up.
While you are here, leave your mark...
Your mark.
If you are so called done...
You might as well kill yourself
And with even such a saddening defeat,
Your fall was the catalyst to someone else's success.
Now honestly I may be too
Lazy
Scared
Immature
To reach my full potential before I pass
But I know I am going to try.
Starting now..
NOW
Im going to try and do something.
Leave something
Preferably positive.
A legacy like Stark*
But with less dramatics.
=X
Let's call them
Nik_prints
Until I discover the use of them.
Im making moves, got to do it
Just do it (Nike check here)
FAST.
That's life.

Que???
Saw my grades... I was never a C, D or F stupid... Student??
IDK how I typed stupid but that fits my mood right now.
ARGHHH!!!!
Well I got 2 As!!!
And so I have excuses and don't run myself into the ground the following is listed...
1st semester was easier to me.
I spread myself thin but time managed very well.
Didn't have crazy ADD nor absorb myself into frivolous situations
Was always active, I've caught myself being lazy a couple of times.
Paranoid, shy and a push over when it came to teachers and grades.
4 p.m. class
Did not even try community service -_-
Relationships were not sticky nor was I recovering from anything
Was not tying to support myself and three fish
and I was focused.
on me
my future
my time and space here
I am getting back to that place this summer
Closer and closer everyday because I look back and compare my 1st to my 2nd semester and can do nothing but shake my head.
Im not horrible nor failing out of college but the term, everyone has been saying these past couple of weeks...
"you are better than this"
Has come into affect
I am better than this.
So no more 4.0's next semester I want and will earn a big ol
5.0**

I went off the edge for the past couple days, I don't know why or when or how but I did.
But now I'm back together and all whole and all that mushy stuff. (I promise) lol
You see the brightest light after the storm, they say and in this situation its so very true.
I prayed, meditated and thought deep about who I was, and want to be.
You also find out who your true friends are in these crazy situations, who your enemies are and who truly does care for you...
No matter how dumb they are.
I hate hurting the people around me, though at one point in time I thought in a way most of it was superficial caring.
I see that light waaaayyyy clearer.
Well I also earned money on my fallout LMBO
It only made me determined to make money in general,
The after affects made me realize how beautiful I AM
and now I feel invincible...
Not sure if that's a good thing. -_-
But most importantly, I value my life and the reproductive investment my mother put into me.
Culturing the fact that I have to become famous and weathly to balance out the highs and lows in my family's lifetime.
It feels like something is just waiting to pop out and I'm not saying that I know the direction to fly in but I believe I'm waiting on a sign.
See thats that invincible stuff* right there.
LOL =]
But all in all Im happier, feel freeier and have more confidence, a confidence I should have had not only for myself but that things I invest my time and effort into, my work and the people who care about me around me.

Nik_gold's Killer Bacon Delight Salad!
Nik_gold's
As I sat in my house starved and deprived, another day (well in all actually 3am) in mother's house, I wondered where could I get some food. Moneyless, and a severe lack of energy I crawled desperately craving bacon to our kitchen. Scrounging through the refrigerator I spotted fresh salad.. FRESH and the fattiest bacon (probably on sale) I saw from the morning before. I miraculously thought, since I'm in love with salad, why not put my two the loves together???
I went to work all in the name of HUNGER =]
Ingredients:
Your choice of lettuce, chopped
Sliced Tomato
Baby Carrots
The Fattiest Bacon you can find =]
(Can substitute bacon for turkey, ham)
Cheese optional (Goat, American Mozzarella)
Ranch or Italian salad dressing
(Try a light Marinate for a calorie substitute)
Add ons:
Croutons
Mushrooms
Broccoli
Onions
Method:
Mix everything in a big bowl generously
Stir-make sure the bacon is well done.
(I prefer mine halfway crunchy)
Make sure you mix everything when the bacon is freshly cooked!
Enjoy*

Spring Time FASHION* All you need to know =]
Whether you're out and about, at your summer job or even on your way to your summer getaway, here are a few ideas to have people "DOUBLE TAKING" YOU in the BEST of ways =]
*Strewn, bleached and cut up tops are best when paired with skinny jeans or a minimalist bottom to show the focal point!
*Jean shirt, jean jackets and jean shorts, rompers are hot, durable and easily paired with this summer. Try soft chiffon, floral or a colorful blouse for the best match up!!!
Florals are ultra feminine and soft, be bold and pair it with minimum to focus in or something hard and edgy. Whatever you do try and be innovative. New ideas are great ones!
*One shoulder or an emphasized shoulder has been adorned since the fall by celebs like Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham and Beyonce and have flawlessly made their way into our trendy Spring/Summer. One shoulder swimsuits are fashionable if you find the right fit! So go yonder search and BE fashion with your skin out!!! i.e Serena Williams in Gottex Reflection monokini*
Whatever you decide to throw on this summer be sure to:
*be money wise
*dress accordingly
MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!
*wear everything with confidence!
Belated BDAY!!!

Feelings.Smeelings.
My feelings get dismayed for my weakness
But in fact Im not a God to get weakened.
Im like you but not in a way
That makes an "us" ideally
I smile daily realistically because there cannot be that much stress in the world
To turn my frown in a plaster of daily suspense
My feelings tell me to breathe easy
Everyday is another opportunity
But in reality another task is at hand and if one is not completed they all pile up
A sticky sand dune left in the sun's wrath
My we are so close to the beginning I often wonder, when will it be over?
And my elbows and shoulders are growing calluses and my face is casting a stone and Im dismayed
My feelings tell me to run and hide
To try and protect the feeling I have left
One half of my body is already Numb
Yet I press on ready and willing to experience the world head on
Good and Bad
Yet we skim through the light and delightful and make songs about the sad and depressing
My feelings turn yellow at the sight of flaws
Dilemmas peaking the height of my day
Dimming the weather to my air
Spreading the last of my tenderness and I feel nothing.
Compelled and withdrawn from here and there
Then and now.
My days melt together and my feelings are gone.
My feelings get dismayed for my weakness

Pageant_gold 2010*
Not only that having your own confidence can win a crowd over but smiling through it all can keep you on top..
I made 9 new sisters and had some of the most draining practices, more then dance, modeling and tennis put together. You had to consistently pour out an aura of elegance, grace, positivity, self assurance and humbleness (which I must add is not an easy fleet!!!)
Knowing that the first pageant I did was a total floop, money hole and phony scheme, this pageant boosted my confidence and reassured me that being multitalented, intelligent and true Goddess of Nile is NEVER a bad thing ;-]
Pushing through all the barriers and stereotypes Im proud that I competed in a pageant my freshman year now they cant say they weren't ready for me sophomore year!!!
This is only the BEGINNING =]

TEENVOGUE*Fashion Starts Here
Teen Vogue is
*Fashion
*Celebrities
*Life
*Style
*Upgrading Yourself inside and out
and it is one of the most renowned teen fashion sites.
TeenVogue.com is the little sister site to www.Vogue.com and the Vogue magazine.
Containing, pictures, videos, journalist blogs and quizzes.
This website is fun, easy to read and move through.
Hyperlinks are underlined when hovered over.
Not only do they carry topics like today's fashion, celeb gossip but also worldy and culturing news.
Below is a video of a young girl verifying her spot to become a host on Entertainment Tonight.
TeenVogue.com also helps their teens retain jobs as seen below are tips on snagging a job/interview the right way. =]
Interview Tips
* Prepare a list of your favorite designers, photographers, and stylists. A comprehensive knowledge of the field demonstrates your passion and shows that you've done research.
* Arrive on time and dress to impress. Your ensemble should reflect your personal style as well as the position you're applying for.
* Remember to ask some questions of your own. Inquiring about the details of the job indicates enthusiasm.
* Send a handwritten thank-you note—not an e-mail—after the interview. It's a thoughtful gesture.
Internship Search Tips
* Suss out any connections you might have. Do any of your extended family members or friends work in the business? If so, they may be able to pass along your résumé to someone who needs an intern.
* Web sites like Ed2010 and Mediabistro are good resources when hunting for an internship—scour them often for updates and career advice.
* Contact your college alumni organization. Many people recruit interns from their alma mater, so ask around or browse your university's alumni web site for tips.
Résumé and Cover Letter Tips
* Make your résumé and cover letter succinct. One page will suffice for an entry-level résumé; three paragraphs for a cover letter.
* Steer clear of silly stunts. Scented résumés may work in movies like Legally Blonde, but in the real world yours should be clean and simple, typed in a font between ten and fourteen points, and printed on plain paper.
* Address each cover letter to a specific person, not "to whom it may concern." To do so, check the masthead of the magazine or conduct some online research.
Teen Vogue are known for their behind the scene videos/pictures of photoshoot with our most loved celebs!!! They are proving that they belong on top by being the best selling magazine at Newstand.co.uk
Here are a few interesting videos I hope you enjoy!
