Treat yourself right

Well its CHRISTMAS TIME!! [not that you wouldn't already know]___I'm young yet old enough to buy people gifts on my own, so I'm getting to the point in my life where I am no longer going to continue to get everything on my Christmas wish list, especially if I don't give to get [hehe]. In conclusion I figured that, I'd much rather give myself Christmas Gifts instead of depending on others to get what I want and waste valuable money on them [HAHA!]....sorry if I'm the first person to think of christmas this way but, wouldn't christmas be such a better holiday this way??? Think about it, no worries of getting ugly sweaters, cheap watches, and horrible sneakers your grandmother thinks are hip.

Here's a few ideas on what gifts to GET YOURSELF for Christmas____

self-esteem: from self experience.

all teenage girls have atleast one of those days when they feel physically out of it. we look in the mirror and all we see are flaws. we don't accept ourselves for our distinctive features that set us apart from everyone and makes us unique. flipping through magazine pages and watching actresses on t.v. tend to set a standard for ourselves--that we didnt start in the first place. we allow the media to play with our emotions and make us feel lesser of a person if our hair isn't straight enough, or if our bust is too big or too small. as for me, self-esteem is something that i used to struggle with tremendously not too long ago. i took the wrong approach to recover and used acception from boys to make me feel better. i was not as all promiscious but when they made me feel worth something and beautiful, i got more and more confident. right now, i am at a point in my life where i no longer suffer that badly from self-esteem issues because (thanks to boys =/) i love myself enough to not hate me. its bad enough getting hated on by others on a daily basis, but when you dont love yourself...you restrict yourself from loving others which makes it harder to have a relationship because your bf/gf won't want to hear to complain about how big your forehead is or how much longer your pinky finger is than your thumb. there's no way you can love your boyfriend, if you hate yourself (thats like loving hamburgers and hating cows). i hope that me sharing something sacred that i went through almost one year ago helps other teen girls to love themselves because we are all beautiful in someway, we are not ugly or "mugged" just because one boy doesn't like us and picks the chick with the big butt && the long hair over us because there is a mate out there for every girl. what you may see as a flaw will turn a guy on.

Greedy Genui$ cameo in Toyota commercial

This is a wonderful thing for Greedy Genui$(great promotion) , its been a great year for them. However on the flipside, it's unfortunate that yet another underrated company is making its way to a mass general audience. It's happenned time and time agian in the past..... with BAPE, Ed Hardy, Von Dutch, Louis Vuitton, even things like Air Force 1s, and more recently Designer Denim like True Religion.
BAPE is the perfect example of how overexposure can make a company loose a lot of respect....Bape has been out for a while now_______

as soon as it was seen on a handful of celebs, and got a bit of media coverage....suddenly you saw everybody on 125th wearing a BAPE hoody, and you saw africans selling BAPESTA's out of the back of a truck. C'mon not everybody in the 'hood is making money to be able to buy BAPE, and the people that were actually really making money and getting the official stuff were then forced to stop wearing it because it lost it's shine.

Well I could go on for days, but I just hope I don't start seeing a bunch of Africans on 125th selling Greedy Genui$, while a handful of ricans line up to buy them, and take a picture hummerstuntin with their knockoffs, post it as their myspace pic, with their name being something ghetto like "I gets money".
Because it's going to be another sad story about how a great company thats doing great things, became a bootleggers best seller.

Have you ever considered buying a $500 bag, but thought you'd never afford to go to a beach resort ?

WELL THINK AGIAN! With those $500, and the right timing, you can in fact afford to go to a beach resort that looks like this...!

Having fun while you're still a teen may seem a little difficult to do in New York.... but I have the perfect getaway.
If you can travel, have a minimum wage job and have a couple of friends that want to party and hit the clubs without having to have a fake ID then I have an idea for you.


all you need is $500 or more, patience, and a 3 day weekend.

• forget about that marvelous $500 bag___think "VACATION VACATION VACATION!"
  
• look at the price of airline tickets to the Dominican Republic with time, these things can be as cheap as $200 round trip if you buy them in advance
• Go to amhsamarina.com
  

• Reserve a stay at any of their resorts [i recommend it], a three night stay is like $300 or less and it is sooo worth it, no matter your age, you can drink and party your night away, ITS ALL INCLUDED!

This is just a kick in the butt to get your mind thinking of the bigger and better things in life, think about other ways to use your money!!

GOLD NAIL POLISH!! [[chiipped is in]]

idc!! gold nail polish is a must. gold is a must. since all the metallic accessories are out...why not paint them on your nails. =/ buttt, i'm fed up with going down to tip top nails and them not having a freaking bright ass 18K gold color and i'm not finna go to walgreens b/c covergirl and them dont know ishh abou that yo. hmph. if you find any blinding gold polish...holla @ a sistahh, i'm @ ur nearest corner.

t-mobile's DASH is a freakin' big foot leap up from the blackberry. finally! a blackberry styled communicator with a cam and all that windows ishh (media player, yaddi ya ca ca). you know you want it!! as for if you'd have phat pockets after this purchase...check it out fo' jo' self busterr! www.t-mobile.com/



el nino is here aint nada to fear!! with this bi-polar wear all condition gear and moutain crushing boots aren't needed to get us through "winter". FLATS FLATS FLATS!! yup! they're here to stay and why not cop juicy couture's? similar to the chanel quilted lambskin flats, these are sexx && a fraction of the cost. juicycouture.neimanmarcus.com/store/




fred flare keeps on shitting out these hott ishhes!! smh, figures...!! they're from BRROOOKLLLYNNN! if you hate using those snot covered, inked up, germy school calculators and always wanna calculate if you'd have enough money to get home if you splurge on one pair of jeans then i guess the paul frank calculator watch has your cluster of letters written all over it!! fredflare.com/

ok ok. we all know marc jacobs is a classic and we all know plaid has been in for decades and we all know that this jacket is sure to look hott with almosttt anything (almost). rule #489: friends dont let friends go mad with plaid. rule #57: friends let friends keep it to a one pattern minimun in all outfits unless you want to look like those fashion backwards kids on myspace who think they look "dope"/"fresh"/"fly"/"kanye-ish" ((lame cats)) just because they have 50lbs. of material on them and 25different colors. www.amazon.com/Marc-Jacobs-Plaid-Jacket-

vinyl black stilletos vs. orange extensions

raquel reed && jeffree star...sorta like the keypad to a sidekick. recently, the two myspace-famed socialites have kicked each other off the number 1 spot on their top 8's and deleted any photo of the two together from their album. it disappoints us to know that such a sexx duo is now ka-poo-toe. by the looks of their poses on their new pix, there's no doubt in my mind that jeff && raq are totally losing their noggin.
