Barbie turned 50!

Remember being a little girl, playing with your Barbie dolls? Trading clothes and accessories? Or just collecting them and being very overprotective of them? I do, I remember my mother scolding me for loosing pieces that came along with my Barbie doll. After I'd begged for it and promised I'd keep it up. Well as of March 9, 2009 Barbie has turned 50 years old! The Barbie legacy continues and now my little princess will have her Barbie collection building up in the future.

My opinion on the situation...

The belly's gettin bigger, and my due date is getting closer. Whoo! You know I'm coming up here to state my opinion on the Chris and Rihanna situation. I was on some message boards and things and it's really getting blown out of preportion now. Like every five minutes some one has a new update or story on what's going on in court or what was supposedly the reason Chris attacked Rihanna. But what disturbs me the most is what some of these little girl's are thinking. Some of them are speaking intellegently and on the other hand some of them are speaking as if they haven't had that mother daughter talk,about all the things mother's should talk about with their daughters about. Or on the other hand they are forming their own opinions. What people need to realize and mostly the young girls out there and young guys, a celeb has to keep up their "star image" in front of the camera, thats why so many of them "seem" sweet or nice or what have you, then there is the "REAL" personality behind the camera's and the public. The personality we don't see unless we were to know them personally. You CAN NOT under no cirsumstance judge a celeb by their appearance in front of a camera. Make sense? I've seen a lot of posts and message board posts saying things like "Chris is so sweet" or "Chris is not even that type of person" and worst "Rihanna get's what she deserves" So not cool!, question: do you know these people personally? And saying you know some one, thats knows some one who knows them does not count. I don't care what Rihanna did to provoke Chris, whether she did or didn't, he still has no right to put his hands on her. She is a woman, a female and it makes him look bad to do such a thing. Now if Rihanna took him back, well thats just a lesson she's going to have to learn on her own. Some rumors are that they could be married or she may be prego, I pray thier not married. And even if she is prego with his child she can still get away, especially if they are not married. That's if she chooses to leave. The situation can be a tad different when your married for the fact their's the divorce you have to go through. Who gets the house and who leaves? Are their kids involved? Do you get sole custody or joint custody? Who get's the material possessions? By them being just boyfriend and girl friend, if they are. She can take her baby( If their is one on the way) and go on about her business. She certainly has the money to do so. The house I hear they have together, that can be sold. Those kids got money they can afford to move somewhere else.Were all tired of the media and people talking about it, but folks the Media is still talking about it so people will continue to talk about it. Right now in the media's opinion this is the juiciest story out, so they have to keep gossiping about it and bringing up more questions to keep it going until all the juice it out, and the story has dried up. Then they'll move on to something else. Well thats my opinion, and I will not post another one on this matter and topic. I just hope thtat both of them get some help.

Genetic Nonsense!!

Click on the titled link above to watch the video "Building a perfect baby". I would like to know your thoughts about this video. Personally in my opinion I think it's bogus and I see it causing a lot of problems in the future, especially with innocent babies. Dr. Jeffrey Steinberg has made it so now, not only can couples choose the gender of their child but they will also be able to select the physical traits of the child. This in my opinion is not a smart idea. It's bad enough we have people out here that dislike themselves, they are not happy with the way they look, they are not happy with their natural skin color, you have people in races that wish they were another race. Letting couples choose what they want their baby to look like is a bunch of nonsense. You are unique because of who you are and what you come from. Not what your "Customized" from if you get what i'm saying. With all the problems in the world we don't need another one. I just can't see in anyway possible how this would help. It's not going to change any self-esteem or self-issue problems that one may be facing with their-selves. You learn to except your child's traits and gender be happy about your baby. Taking the risk of changing your child before you even know how it may turn out to look originallly is crazy, and on top of that it's not even a 100% percent chance! so if your baby comes out with one blue eye and one purple eye or you wanted blonde hair for this one but got black hair instead? I wouldn't take that risk.

Shiny, Bouncy Big and Fresh!

Now that i'm pregnant I can have forgetful and late tendencies. The belly is getting bigger and the kicks are definitely getting harder, sometimes I wonder what she's in there doing...... So my friend and I went to the mall these past couple days, and her mother and I went into Sephora. I used to go into Sephora all the time when I was in New York. It was so fun just to dabble in eyeshadows, face cleansers and such. Oh I just miss the city atmosphere! My Giselle bell and I must take a trip, when she gets old enough of course. But any way we were browsing and came across Carol's Daughters a botanical line of beauty products for African American women and anyone who just loves the line period. So you know how you go into the store and start playing with the products? we started putting the lotions and things on us and then my friend's mother started to put the Tui Hair Oil by Carol's Daughters in her hair and It smelled so good. So I told her to put some of it in mine. My hair was looking kind of dull at first the shine came instantly not only that the smell was just delicious and my hair was so soft, And it doesn't contain any harsh chemicals! Now were addicted and going to pick up some asap! This is not my first time learning or hearing of Carol's Daughters, but that was my first time trying the product. And it won't be my last! Carol's Daughters Tui hair Oil 2oz. 8$, 8oz. 18$

My journey

Hi peoples, I know it's been a while. But shortly that will change. This time I REALLY promise you. Your girl the Chocolate Apple as I may or may not have stated before has been going through some things, but I am in there hanging on and I will be and continue to go strong. Thats just life it takes you through things. I still love writing and my blogging, that won't change. Speaking of life and my blogging first and foremost I'm expecting. Yes i'm going to have a little Chocolate Apple princess!! It took me some time to adjust but i'm soo in love with her and I can't wait for her to be here! Now you guys will not only see me write about the things I usually write about but I will also introduce you to my journey through single mother hood. Theres a lot of single mother's out there many of us not by choice either but we dust our selves off and we do what we have to do for our children and we become the best mothers/fathers we can be! (especially when the father is not in the picture) as for my blogging I am still going to continue with it. And hopefully it'll be getting an upgrade sometime soon, thats in the works now and I'll post when it's in progress. Well thats all for now, write to you soon!

Back in the routine....

I wasn't to impressed with the Victoria's Secret fashion show. The lingerie wasn't as cute as the years before. And is it just me or does that million dollar bra look just about the same every year? I say it does. Well those of you who don't know much about me I'm working on writing a book, I may post some of the excerpts from my book to get opinions, Which could help me with my writing process and stuff. So much has happened in the last few months I still have to get situated and get back in the habit of a lot of things like my blog. Gonna go now.

home sweet home

Well as some of you know we all go through things in life and make decisions that we wish we could take back or change, the last time I posted a post I was in New York. This post is back at home in Va!! so glad to be back. I got quite a bit of e-mails from a few readers, I was so shocked I really wasn't sure if anyone read my blog or not, I mean I know people browse by but... so they were wondering when I was going to post somemore because they liked my previous posts. One person even told me that my blog inspired them and made them feel happy!! I couldn't believe it, but it made me happy to know that I was making some one's day. And if I inspire you then thank you very much, we all need to be inspired sometime. now currently i'm at a friends house writing this post. But back where I stay there is absolutely no signal what so ever, and that sucks a whole whole lot. But i'm going to go where ever I have to go in order to keep posting posts and keep people up to date. So stay tuned for updated blog posts and other happenings I have some things in the works for my blog. Once start getting a financial flow back in you'll see the changes and progress. Well gotta go 1
