Humble

Iv'e met so many big people in my life. Many actors and musicians. Models and fashion designers.
The ones who were humble always remain in my mind and iv'e learned to push the ones with big egos out of my memory.
Life is too beautiful to be full of yourself. Everything you have can be taken from you in an instant. The ground can crumble under your feet and you would be right back on the level with the people you treated badly.
Iv'e never had an easy life, but I think it needed to be that way because I know God has something wonderful planned for me.
Being humble is what separates the great people from the people who get passed over.
My mother has always allowed me to be a wonderful being.
Creating and experimenting.
Whether I was putting on my grandmothers make up and cutting off my hair, or If i was wearing her shoes and sewing pieces of material together to make an outfit.
She never forced me to be regular. She never told me to conform, even now she looks at me and tells me I'm weird. But she unconditionally loves me and I know she doesn't mind.
My mother is the most humble person I know yet she possesses more strength and wisdom than anyone i've ever met in my life. She and my grandmother combined have molded me into the person I am. The creativity I possess and the honing of my talents are all because of them.
Because of them , whatever success I achieve will never swell my head. I have been through enough to know the value of being humble.
Whats the difference between these people....Diddy , Jay z ,Drake, Kanye west? Who is humble?
I think that when people see me They expect a certain person ..they see glam at times and they expect a high maintenance bitch who is stupid. But if you ever speak to me..there is way more to me than the surface.
That is why me sitting in my living room writing this blog...is a girl with short curls in her hair , no make up on and a smile.
This has inspired my Tattoo!!
P.S....Micheal Jackson was the most talented being ever...And the most humble gentle soul....A giant in his own right... R.I.P
Thanx for reading
Love , Benji-Wilson

What Ring??


Wedding rings are supposed to be a symbol of commitment right?
So why is it that soooo many married men don't wear them?
Is it that they still want to be adored by women....or maybe they don't want their boys to clown them.
Maybe their monthly cycle makes their fingers swell up while they are retaining fluid and......Oh sorry...thats women.
Anyway....It annoys me when married men don't wear their rings...
There are so many guys i've met who I think have been flirting with me ....but then i saw their wife walk in ...AND SHE WAS WEARING HER RING
SO....i'm here thinking was he flirting....or was it just me..Because I know I'm not crazy .
Also why should the woman wear her ring but the man doesn't have to?
Is it some sort of power thing?
Do men feel stronger by having the option of NOT wearing their ring...?

Let me know your thoughts...Im really curious
If you were or are married....would you want your husband to wear his ring?
If your a man...would you wear a ring or do you already wear it?

Peace and Love

Hot foot!!!!

Are your feet burning you....
Every time you take a step if feels like your gonna keel over and die?
WELL BUY YOUR SIZE!!!!
But if you already have the shoes in your possession and you need them to be stretched a bit , there is an old fashionista trick.
PUT THEM IN THE FREEZER! yes, put them in the freezer with a ziploc bag filled 1/4 way.
when water freezes it expands so when the ice is frozen , it would have stretched the shoes a bit.
BUT, if you don't believe me , check out michelle phan on youtube showing you how to do it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf5mJ7aR2t8

So the next time there are a pair of shoes on sale and you NEED to have them ..but, they are a size too small...ice them

HIGH BUNS!!!!

When it comes time for me to go out and I have hardly anytime to get ready...
I always choose the high bun...sometimes with a bang..
NOW...this is assuming its one of the times that I have hair and it isn't cut off or fallen out from dye.
With the perfect makeup it can look so much better than any plain jane hair style. This style is good for an outfit that is strapless or has  an open or designed back. It even works great if your just trying to show of your decolletage .
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Decolletage -if you need to know what that means
I hope it becomes one of your go to styles too!
Do you love it or hate it!?

Tattoos ....SEXY vs SKANKY

I love tattoos...I have 4 myself and I think that when they are put in strategic places and have meaning to them they can be awesome. But some people take it too far. They tattoo their necks , face sides, eyelids..hands...until they look like a creature....or lil wayne.
I think there is a thin line when it comes to tattoos and people should watch it. Even though the world is changing , some people are still closed minded and there are some things you might want to do in life that people will look down on you just because of ink.
 INK SMART!..you get it..its like think smart but I took off the th.
LOVE BENJI!!!!!!

Summer BODY!!!!!!!!!!!

The INFAMOUS summer body.
During the winter , I always gain weight. But, this winter I gained about 30 pounds.
I looked Like miss Piggy. No lies. I even have a workout tape..There it goes
But besides that....Getting fit for summer to fit into some of the great trends can be hard. It takes dedication,motivation, inspiration, perspiration...and alot of other words that end in ation.
Then I look at sexy chicks around me and wonder  "how the hell do they get their body like that".
sigh...this is my motivation
If that doesn't force me to work out....NOTHING WILL!

Swagger like MOI!

I am in Love with Erykah Badu in this picture. Her whole swagger is on point. But then I looked at it again and I said to myself "People might call this weird".
This is how I wish I could dress at times, Throw a bunch of random beautiful pieces together and go out the door. But I know people would talk alot of crap.
The question I have for you is.....
Should you care what people have to say about your sense of style?
Because if they tell you how to dress then you wouldn't be your own person anymore. You would be them.

Right or Wrong?

YOUR WIFEY....I think not

Lately, sex has been a big deal. Ok...It was always a big deal but now its what every girl wants to convey in their dress, walk, hair, and make up. How can you blame them when the people we are obsessed with are people like Nicki Minaj and lil wayne and the movies we watch are movies like the hangover.

With all this people have forgotten the art of being a LADY!....so while your dancing in the club in a corset with leggings on and half your ass out..do you think a guy will rate you as wifey material?

Here is an article that caught my attention ...Credits to bossip.com


5 Things Men Look for in a Wifey
1. Assess her personality. This means her personal characteristics, emotions, style and expressions. Her perspective on the world around her, combined with her level of self-esteem, can speak volumes about the type of life partner and future parent she will be.
2. Know how attracted you are to her. Physical and sexual attraction can mean different things to different people. To some, romance and intimacy are key, while others prefer more active and kinky activities to really make them feel attracted to their partner. It’s important that your attraction and chemistry are mutual, and sustainable for years to come as a married couple.
3. Consider her level of intelligence. Finding a mate mutually matched near your level of intelligence is important to compatibility and having meaningful conversations as a couple. How she observes the world, either casually or aggressively, her level of education, sense of humor, skills, hobbies and conversation style are all important elements of this assessment.
4. Determine how she handles money. Money matters affect everyone, and finances are a key factor in the success of a marriage. Pay attention to spending style, lifestyle, professional ambitions and financial goals when determining your compatibility when it comes to spending and saving.
5. Know her values and compare them with yours. Spiritual values don’t necessarily mean affiliation with a religion but rather a general belief in a reason and purpose for being here. Other values to consider include those involved with family, stability, purpose, religion, optimism, honesty and integrity.
These 5 things are not much for any woman to do, but lets be honest, there are some women who are delusional enough to think they are assets, when they usually turn out to be major liabilities and the same thing goes for men. A woman shouldn’t look at a man’s wallet and say “He’s the one for me,” because money can’t hold you at night.
So… ARE YOU REALLY WIFEY MATERIAL or DO YOU HAVE SOME WORK TO DO???

I Love Fragrances, I think maybe my mom messed me up.
Growing up my Mom would obsess over perfumes and body washes and underwear, and now I am exactly the same way.
We take trips to bloomingdales and macys and stock up on perfumes in bunches. Whoever said you can't buy love...Obviously was broke. Or ugly.

OBSESSED!!!

Everyone has something that they are obsessed with. It can be food, electronics or even a person.
When your obsessed with something you will use your last $ to get it.
My Obsession is...UGG BOOTS...Most people who know me already know this.
I have about 10 pairs
I would be fine if there was no summer...b/c then I could wear ugg boots all year long.
Or maybe I should just move to alaska? hmmm
I'm turning 21 next month and the main thing on my wish list...That's Right...UGG BOOTS
I've heard people say they are unattractive....
Those people are no longer my friends.

So I grabbed a couple Of my real friends...and we took a pic :)
Those are my favorites...
What are you obsessed with?? What Is your one weakness?

Will I let The situation get the best of me...?

When people get depressed or upset, they normally do something to calm themselves down.
Some eat their favorite food, some do yoga...and some even take a walk.
NOW.....there are people like me.
WE SHOP!!....
So right now I am stressed beyond belief and I have a list of things I want. Of course the things i want...I CAN'T AFFORD.
But that's never stopped me before...To tell the truth..I dont know how I afford most of the things that I buy , but  I do..
The main thing I am obsessed with are a pair of shoes that are sold at victorias secret...
I am Trying To keep myself from buying them but...I feel like a junkie ..
A SHOPPING JUNKIE!
Aren't they to die for?...I'm serious..I think I'm dying, someone call an ambulance

Speaking of dye

In the last post....I decided I needed  a hair color change. But that reminded me of the countless times i've been bald because of dye.
There was the time in h.s when my best friend anais dyed my hair and then i permed it. I wore a wig for 3 months.
Then my hair grew back and i dyed the front blond and then changed the color of the bang every week. From pink to blue to green to orange until one week I had a rainbow bang.
I'm sure you know how that went.....yep it fell out.
Of course I still didn't learn my lesson and after it fell out 3 more times and i cut off all my hair and have a curly fro....I'm ready to dye it again.
Lets hope it goes well this time and I don't go bald ..Because then ill look like this...not Amber Rose

Complete 360

There comes a Time in every fashionistas' life when she decides she needs to do  a transformation. I am at that point right now. i need a change. Complete style change , haircolor...any and everything.

I just think that if I am happy with the outside, the inside might feel better.
So here is a color that i'm thinking of doing my hair right now.
Or should I go lighter?
