Happy Friday Everyone !! What do you do when your friday isn't so happy? Long story short, today wasn't Sierra's day. Between drama, stupid people, and 'haters', I've been worn down. But who likes to STAY unhappy??? NOT THIS CHICA! So if you're like me today (or any day really) and need to get back to your happy days, here's what you do: source: Health Line Listen to Music If you're feeling overwhelmed by a stressful situation, try taking a break and listening to relaxing classical music. Playing calm music has a positive effect on the brain and body, can lower blood pressure, and reduce cortisol, a hormone linked to stress. We recommend cello master Yo-Yo Ma playing Bach, but if classical really isn’t your thing, try listening to ocean or nature sounds; they may seem cheesy, but they display similar relaxing effects to music. Call a Friend If you're feeling overwhelmed, take a break to call a friend and talk about your pr...

As you go into another week of life

Today was my very first meeting of my third year as an AKA Teen! My life as a debutante has started backup! What did we talk about? Just: • The debutante ball at the end of the season • Expectations • Selling tickets/ads • GPA blah blah I don't have much to say about todays meeting, so I'm just showing you what I wore!! How do you like it?

Going through my computer and look what I found! Oh my goodness! It's crazy to know that even at 3 and 4 years old I was STILL doing lovely things! I remember my very first recital... well... not in full detail. Just think, activities like this turned me into the girl I am today... It truly is amazing, to just look back at myself :) When was the last time you took a trip down Memory Lane? Did you remember something good, something meaningful? XOXO -S

Hair Post! Did something reeaally different with my locks today, a braided pony-tail updo type thing! (If anyone has a better name, please let me know!)  Basically what I did was put a loose plait/braid across the top of my head and past my ear to the back of my head. Then I put the braid- along with the rest of my hair- in a ponytail. It's a different touch on the plain ol' ponytail! Side-ish view (Rocking my Guys and Dolls  show shirt!) I'm lovin' it! The top of the braid How do you guys like it? Would you ever try it out, or do you have an ever CUTER way to do a pony-tail? DO TELL!! XOXO -S

School is in, football season is in, and all of those lovey dovey couples are together. Well, maybe not ALL of them. I was recently asked a very very good question... What do you do when you're the odd ball out? When everyone is "In Love" but you? When you look around, see hands-in-hands, tongues-in-tongues (eww?) and all of that good stuff, it isn't hard for the feeling of Loneliness to come upon you. What is a single sistah supposed to do to keep from being depressed? Remember, you aren't alone. And you aren't the only one single! Everyone may seem to be in an awesome relationship, but that's just you beinga Drama Queen :) Don't do anything on a Lonely Impulse!! Be in a relationship because you're READY not LONELY! You'll thank me later. Enjoy yourself! Love yourself! If you're too busy worried about loving someone else, you aren't giving yourself enough attention. Focus on some 'me-time' and the love will hap...

Okay so several posts down I was freakin' out about my hair and what to do with it. This post is about some plans that I've had forever, but have been to scared to make them happen... I want to cut my hair into a Bob! YOU know: short in the back, long in the front, the whole assymetrical thing going on. My hair length right now is a couple of inches past my earlobe, so I think I can pull it off!! Her face is shaped like mine, so I think I can rock it! I'd probably go for a side swept bang Mine would probably be this length...no straight bang though! She looks AWESOME with this cut! Yesss! Work it random girl I found on Google! Eva, give me your hair. You won't get it back. Ever. Okay, so I think you get the point! What do YOU guys think? Can I rock it, or should I stay where I am? FEEDBACK!!!!!!! XOXO -S
