This is an experimental Song of The Day, folks. My sister is in love with these sisters, their voices, and this song. Personally, they aren't that bad to me!! But, they are way to good to be given to Disney to ruin.         How do YOU like it??? XOXO -S

Guess What I'm Getting?

Senegalese Twists!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Yes, yes I am very very excited! Don't know what they are? Well let me help you out!... omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg So Basically..... Senegalese Twists are actually BRAIDS that turn into twists. They're longer than your average braid/twists (can be booty long) They're really durable, and can do many many many cute styles! They are best with NATURAL hair. I'm not hating on permies, it's just the truth. THEY ARE SO CUTE!!! The thing is finding the right person to do them. I've seen many people with them, but not all have that "look" that I like. Call me weird, oh well. Now, they have become a really big trend. Many people call them "Poetic Justice braids" because they favor the hair style Janet Jackson wore in the popular movie. However, they are NOT the same thing. Janet had Box Braids (coming soon) while this style is totally different. FYI. But anyways, si

I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD!

Say it loud! So I bet you looked at the title of this post and thought, "Where is this coming from?" Is someone being racist to Sierra? Has Sierra been harrassed? Is Sierra having an identity crisis? Hold your horses, there is no trauma going on in my life (other than the car accident I got into today, deetz coming later), but I have come to some conclusions: A lot  of Blacks are, dare I say, ASHAMED TO BE BLACK!! And it truly hurts my heart to see that many are doing everything in their will to not "be black"! Today's media seems to be anti-not-white. Not only blacks, but also Hispanics, Asians, and Arab Americans are depicted negatively and stereotyped DAY AFTER DAY! Being someone who wants to go into media, I really hope to change this. Racism is still alive and bustling....in 2012! No matter how incredibly idiotic this is, we cannot ignore that it is the truth. When I look in the mirror and see myself, I see a beautiful, strong, passi

I'm supposed to be doing calculus homework as I type, so this will be brief. Today's outfit: -Oversized red and maroon sweater from American Eagle -Peter pan collar shirt under it from American eagle -Pearl necklace -Hard denim Levi's -Maroon UGG's That's it! The key to this outfit was the Peter Pan collar, it's really hot right now. Many people thought it was all one shirt! XOXO -S

Song(s) of the Day!

Hey! I've really been trying to update up to every other day. I can't stay long, my school is having a College Application preparation night! Still can't believe I'm a senior! Anyway, I finished my very first video article for the Redford Observer (the town newspaper)!!! I'm doing big things, I tell you! Also, do any of you guys have an idea on what I can do for my next Brownstone Magazine article ? Let me know!!! But moving along, I was stuck between two songs for SOTD, so you guys will be receiving a double dosage of music today!! Song Number One: "It's always a good time, woaah oh ah oh oh!"  This song is a jumpy vibing song that will get you off of your feet and definitely nodding your head! Song Number Two: "I could wait forever, but forever's way too long to be waiting on ya!" This song hasn't even officially come out yet, but I LOVE it already!!! I wish I could hit those high notes, but alas, I'm an alto

Ciao!!! Como esta ud? Multilingual baby!! Anyway, great news today!! The first creative writing club? A SUCCESS!! After school, I went to the club meeting room with the teacher sponsor, and there were 4 kids there interested! I thought "Four...well not too bad considering we only advertised via poster boards and flyers." Then, four MORE people came in! I was excited, people wanted to JOIN my club! THEN, four MORE people came in!!! 12 people! The meeting went great, it's a nice group of people and we've already planned what we'll be doing for the next month! Then, when my mom brought pizza for us, they APPLAUDED us!! This was just an awesome first meeting overall. Secondly, OOTD: -Black blazer from DOT'S -Plain white tee -Navy/camo green skinny jeans from Target -Black knit UGG boots -Black crystal heart earrings -Silver owl necklace -and the KEY to this whole outfit: Puffy tribal headband from OLD NAVY! Simple yet chic, my style all the way! W

Hello all! I was trying to hold off on blogging until I got some time on a computer/laptop, but I've resorted to the blogger app on my phone. You may have heard me complaining and saying that it sucks, well it does! Anyway! What's been UP? Anything significant? Well, I've got lots going on. Shall we: Last week was homecoming week. It was fun and I really enjoyed myself. This is the only year that I've worm braids instead of my real hair (dreaded hair cut), but I still loved my look. I used to have Newspaper/Yearbook as a class. And boy was I excited to get a taste of journalism! But alas, turns out the class was a blow off class that no one ever did any type of work in, not to mention the teacher showed a LOT of favoritism. SO, I dropped the class, and boy am I happy I did! Now I get to write/record for the town's newspaper!! I was even on the front page! I am doing GREAT in AP Calc right now!! Very proud. But, AP Econ? Another story. I'll keep trying
