Natural Beauty

Okay so I'm going to go here and I just hope I don't personally offend anyone. You know when you start something off like that chances are you will offend someone. SMH

As of late, the natural hair debate has kind of taken over. I feel like it's the newest trend. I personally love it. Am I natural?? NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!! LOL!!! But I still love all of the styles and the way that it gives a Black woman a since of pride. But the thing that has kind of been irking me is the NATURAL BEAUTY comment that I see all the time. Almost as if they have an edge up on those with a relaxer. Are these women beautiful? YESSSSS. Are they completely natural? Ummm...not so much!

I would LOVEEEEEEEEEEE to post some pictures, but again not trying to offend someone. But my question is...

How can you be considered a NATURAL BEAUTY and you have on photo shoot makeup at all times???

 *gasps* I know...

It started with an email I received from Essence.com about some "Naturally Pretty" women. As soon as I opened the email, I saw bright pink lips!!!

Not the actual picture, just for effect! LOL!!

Totally threw me off, and I forgot all about the hair. Which is why I'm sure these were considered natural beauties!! So I immediately thought...

Well what would she look like without all that makeup??

Is she now considered beautiful because of her hair? And there is nothing wrong with that.

Did she wear all of this makeup before she went natural?? And there is nothing wrong with that either.

Just so many questions!!!

Maybe it should be Natural HAIR Beauty??? I'm just saying!!

Anyway...I'm off on a tangent now...but what do you all think about that Natural Beauty title?

PS- Not trying to make this a Natural vs Relaxed Hair debate either!!! WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL!!

Today I am grateful for leftovers!

Whewwww weeee I made a White Turkey Chili last night with my leftover Turkey.

I put the turkey legs in the crockpot and let them get good and tender and shredded all the meat.

Then I used Williams Sonoma's recipe I found on Pinterest for the chili.

Sorry don't have a picture of the finished product. But I promise it was great! :) lol

Day 27...Books

Today I am grateful for books!!!! I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee reading.

It's nothing like curling up on the couch with a blanket and a good book. If it's stimulating, I could probably read it in a night. And the last couple of months I have been doing just that. A good book on one evening. LOVE IT!!!

What's the latest book you've read?

And what are YOU grateful for today?

Day 23... Sales

Today I am grateful for Sales!!!!!! Love a good sale. I actually hate shopping but love finding a great deal. Go figure. Well today I went out in the Black Friday madness. Didn't find too many great deals. But I did enjoy being amongst the people and great deals. Lol

This is where the term "Black Friday" came from...

The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving.^[4][5] Use of the term started before 1961 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that "Black Friday" indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or are "in the black".^[4][6]

Did you shop for Black Friday?

What are you grateful for?

Day 21...Holidays

Today I am grateful for Holidays. They bring family and friends together. Even if you don't get with them on a regular basis, you are going to make sure you see them for the Holidays.

I almost thought I wanted to do nothing. But I'm looking forward to seeing people I haven't seen in a while.

Praying everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and get to spend it with those you love.

What are you grateful for?
