Life... And Angela

Hey Guys!


Ecclesiastes 7:9 (MSG Version)
9Don’t be quick to fly off the handle.
     Anger really does make you a fool, smh (shake my head). Even as I was in the moment of being angry I realize the situation can easily be brushed off. Unfortunately in my case anger had already reached my head and I entered into the "I'm just feeling angry right now" state of mind. I didn't know how to get out of it. Or specifically I guess I didn't really want to because of how I was "feeling". Normally I ask God to let me be the she that rises when it is not yet day but it didn't pop into my head. That's what fools do they don't ask for help. A horribly bitter experience left on my tongue of what happens when I don't call onto God in the mist of my anger. Forgive me God. Next time I will.

Hey Guys!


     It's that time again, yes, back to school! Which is great because I know you all love the academics portion of it. I also know you just want to show up and look cute with your friends, almost like a mandatory hang out session made possible to you by the public school system, haha. That's why I have been posting so many Back To School, B.T.S, looks for both the girls and guys out there. So make sure you let me know what more you want to see in the comments below. By the why the B.T.S looks will continue until next week so keep coming back for more fun new style inspirations. There will most definitely be one on school uniform and how to style it up.
     So this week I have decided to post what is so long over due and that is Part 3 of the Miami Swim Week 2014 & My Birthday. Since my birthday has been gone for quite some time now I'm going to make this post short, sweet, and straight to the point. That week was literally the best week of my summer hands down because I did so any incredible things that week. As you know from part 1& 2 I worked backstage which was awesome! After hours is when my life started to heat up, and boy was it sizzling.
     On my actually birthday after work, I went to an AMC Theater and meet up with some friends that I hadn't seen since we graduated high school. Daniella, Kaitlyn, her brother, and I saw 'How to train your dragon 2' which was so freakin' funny I can't even explain, it's a movie for all to see. Then we went to RA Sushi Bar Restaurant which offers Japanese Fusion Cuisine, and sushi catering in a fun, upbeat atmosphere. Which is spot on! The waiter was so funny, friendly and awesome! The next two days I hung out with Webber J. Charles who is an Associate Site Director at Breakthrough Miami but he was my first art teacher and mentor. Anyway, he took me shopping and I was able to meet a few of his really cool friends who are completely passionate about their goals. It was great to be around them in the atmosphere we were in which was a bowling ally, haha, always enjoyable. Then, I hung out with my wonderful friend Vaninna and we tried on a bunch of  clothes at Zara. I convinced her to buy more than she wanted to because she looked so cute in the garment pieces she picked out. I was really no help with keeping her on budget lol.

Hey Guys!


     So first off, I knooooooow I owe you a Part 3 of the Miami Swim Week/ Birthday blog and it will be up soon! But I am kinda, sort of obsessed with the new Janelle Monáe -Electric Lady song and video. Now I only know a few songs from Monáe- Cold War, Dance or Die, and of course Tightrope so I m in no way a Janelle Monáe expert. I actually heard Tightrope for the first time on a Target back to school commercial. Yeah I know of all the places to discover music. I was just blown away. It's weird and funky but it was still  R&B while at the same time new age pop. It was crazy and I still love hearing it To. This. Day!

Bah Bam! That's how her music comes off to me.

Electro- Sophista- Funky-Lady

    So for me personally I forgot about all the sooouuul Janelle puts into her music. That's a bit weird to say because of course I saw her Covergirl ads and I'd hear people or entertainment television talk about her but I wasn't I guess you could say "sold". Yeah she seemed cool with her natural hair styles, dress in her black & white uniform but c'mon it was 2010. I was in what the 10th grade watching Hannah Montana and singing the Cheetah girls and High School Musicial soundtracks. By the way have you seen Zac Effron lately? Whooo child (hand fan and side eye).
     Recently I feel like I've been reintroduced to Janelle Monáe. I have to say hearing and seeing the Electric Lady official music video just hooked me. I am more likely to follow her and her music now because I actually listen to and identify with the empowerment message that is thrown all up in her everything. Whether it be her style, her music, or what she stands for. I am 20. I haven't experienced as much as other 20 year olds have but I am still trying to figure out who I am and what my God given purpose is on this earth. I feel like when you wake up in the morning and you turn on that Janelle Monáe, she is gonna get you in the groove to where you walk out of your front door and you want to be you no matter what situation you might go through that day because you know you can get through it. So for all of you who want to be empowered I urge you to check out the Electric Lady album. Also feel free to click on the link below because it takes you straight to everything Monáe.

     But seriously, I feel like I'm the "ish" when I listen to the song Electric Lady. I even went on twitter pledging #ElectroPhiBeta, hahaha. I feel like she's talking about me being "Electro- Sophista- Funky-Lady". And I actually dance to the beat (when I'm sitting or in my head), smh. I feel sexy yet unique, feminine, and powerful all at once. I've seen the music video for this song so many times when I just listen to the song I'm doing all the dance moves from it, shhhh don't tell anyone,  they might catch it on video hahaha.


Let me know which Janelle Monáe song you fancy the most and why it makes you feel like an "Electric Lady" in a sense? Mean while I'll be working on that Part 3 blog post.


Peace my loves and have an amazing day! Remember you don't ever have to feel alone because Jesus is always with you.
