Spring Nails

 

 So, it’s been over a year since I've gone to the nail salon.  The Biotin I take regularly seems to work wonders on my nails. I change colors often so when I came across this very inexpensive brand I decided to try it. The colors were delicious and with names like Big Daddy, Dream On, Cloud 9 , I Miss You, Frenzy and Why Not ( my favorite).. I had to try. Turns out, I really do love this brand.  Not only are the colors  amazing for Spring and beyond, they apply evenly, and is opaque within two coats. Add and a  clear/top coat and you’re good to go. They may chip a little sooner than the more expensive brands, but I’m always changing, so that doesn’t really matter. Find them for $1.99 on shelves in Wal-Mart, Target, Rite-Aid and Walgreens, where on a good day they can be $0.99

I came across this and thought that it was worth sharing. And though it started off by saying "HEAR WHAT OPRAH WINFREY HAD TO SAY ABOUT MEN," I have been unable to prove it as such.   Many at times, we refuse to see what's right in front of us and ultimately are the cause of our own downfall.  So, let these be words to not  just make you smile a little, but to possibly make you rethink some choices and to make you the woman prepare, and you the man aware. 

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. 

If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. 

Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better. The only person you can control in a relationship is you. Avoid men who have a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently? Always have your own set of friends separate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.

You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within. Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are. Even if he has has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less. 

Never let a man define who you are. Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you. All men are NOT dogs.

You should not be the one doing all the bending... Compromise is two way street. You need time to heal between relationships. There is nothing cute about baggage... Deal with your issues before pursuing a new

relationship. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you. A relationship consists of two WHOLE

individuals. Look for someone complimentary...

not supplementary. 

Dating is fun... Even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right. Make him miss you sometimes... When a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him ~ he takes it for granted. Never move into his mother's house. Never co-sign for a man. Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need. Keep him in your radar but get to know others. 

Scared of being alone is what makes a lot of women stay in relationships that are abusive or hurtful: Dr. Phil says... You should know that: You're the best thing that could ever happen to anyone and if a man mistreats you, he'll miss out on a good thing. If he was attracted to you in the 1st place, just know that he's not the only one. They're all watching you, so you have a lot of choices. Make the right one. Ladies take care of your own hearts... 

Letting my hair down!

We all have bad days. Some worst than others. But the one fact remains that God never gives us more than we can bear. Through Him, All things are possible!

“God knows your value; He sees your potential. You may not understand everything you are going through right now. But hold your head up high, knowing that God is in control and he has a great plan and purpose for your life. Your dreams may not have turned out exactly as you’d hoped, but the bible says that God’s ways are better and higher than our ways, even when everybody else rejects you, remember, God stands before you with His arms open wide. He always accepts you. He always confirms your value. God sees your two good moves! You are His prized possession. No matter what you go through in life, no matter how many disappointments you suffer, your value in God’s eyes always remains the same. You will always be the apple of His eye. He will never give up on you, so don’t give up on yourself."
