BRIT AND BLACK EXCELLENCE ABROAD


"I don't know them like that, I ain't going."

Hello and happy Thursday from a new and improved 30 year old Brit! Well okay fine, I'm still slightly trash but we getting there. Let me tell ya'll something, the past few weeks of my life have been amazing! Ya'll ever took a break from paying bills just to relax?

I'm hella poor right now but let me explain...

My 20's were a blast! I feel like those years allowed me to get to know myself. You know, take this adult life for a spin and see if I crash (I crashed a few times). Although I had a lot of fun, I did A LOT of stressing. About graduating from college, moving from city to city, apartment to apartment, job to job, how I was going to pay for this or that and where my life was going in general. I did so much of that, until I had forgotten to take time for myself.

See? This is why having a dope circle is important. I'm bout to pull up on ya'll with this word, ya'll ready?

 Aight so boom, I knew I wanted to really step outside of my box this year. I had it all worked out. I planned a party and also wanted to plan a vacation with friends. It just so happens that the homie Carl and fiance Ashley were planning a big group trip to Cabo, Mexico! I'm like, dope. Let me round up some of my girls and make a birthday event of it. I was hype, thirsty and ready to go. What better way to spend your birthday than going out of the country for the first time with your girls?

 They was like, "NAH." So then I was like, "NAH."

 Until my people was like, "Why don't you just go by yourself? It's a group."

 I'm like: "BY MYSELF?!?!?"
 If you know me, you know that I am in the top two list of introverted extroverts... and I ain't two. So I called Carl and backed out because I had nightmares of me being painfully awkward. He insisted that this would be the best time and that I should still come out. He even found me a person to split my room with! That's love! Although I knew Carl and Ashley, my room was set up and everything was taken care of, I still thought about not going everyday until I sat on the plane and it took off. But I'm so glad I went! It turns out, an open bar and nice weather can make you pretty social.

Look ya'll the moral of the story is, you ain't gotta wait on nobody to do what you wanna do. I would have missed out on a really dope experience, meeting dope people and a four day turn up if I waited on someone to go with me. I mean come on, have you ever seen 200 black people on the beach living they best life like this?

In the words of the homie Carl, "Friends don't let friends miss groups trips!" So, don't miss the next one! Carl and Ashley are an amazing team who makes sure everyone has a positive experience.

See ya'll soon!

The Good Girl

"Wait, am I going to get in trouble if I do that?" I`ve always been that "by the book" type of person. If I didn`t get permission to do it, it`s not happening. Yep, you guessed it, my friends hated me in high school.  I was the one with the curfew at midnight. No, I couldn`t sneak inside of the house because my mother and father were always sitting on the couch in the front room waiting for me to get in. And if I wasn`t home by midnight, I had a five minute grace period before they were blowing up my little flip phone. "Where are you? Do you know what time it is?" "Yes mom, I`m down the street." We were really just getting off of the highway but it was no red lights and my friend had a heavy foot.  *Shout Out to Laster and Sophia Douglas.* I was always the "good girl" and that was NOT a compliment. Being the good girl meant that you were stuck up, weird, boring, funny acting, etc. I`m actually all of those things when I`m hun...

BLACK AND CAREFREE

"While ya'll being distracted by this, look what's happening over here..." Ya'll know exactly who those types of people are on your friends list, don't you? You can't share a few funny memes, indulge in a hot topic discussion or post pictures of your lit brunch without somebody saying "Some of ya'll black folks be worried about the wrong thing!" And yes, some black folks ARE worried about the wrong thing BUT some black folks can worry about more than one thing at once. I mean damn, don't ya'll want a break sometimes? Photo: My Mama. Today's topic is on being BLACK AND CAREFREE . I wanted to make some heart warming post about black folks being able to be happy even in the face of adversity. Being able have joy and be aware at the same time. I had all intentions of posting photos of myself and my friends full of smiles. Making jokes about being black, educated and well spoken but being able to turn that off to be b...

KIDS ON KIDS ON KIDS

"You don't have kids yet? That`s rare." I`m 26, never been married, engaged, or even close, why is that so rare? In my opinion, I`m just getting started with my own life. Okay maybe not JUST getting started but I`m still in my prime. Like, I`m working on myself. Look, I just don't have the money for any extra people, okay? Ive reached the age where I`m starting to see many of my peers in my news feeds getting married and having children. Meanwhile, I'm over here stalking this sexy dude on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Myspace. (Don't act like y'all don't remember Myspace.) Marriage is a beautiful thing. I enjoy looking at everyone`s wedding photos and thinking about how I`m going to steal some of those ideas for myself one day. I`m also looking at the groomsmen to see if any of them are sexy. Don't be surprised if I show up to your reception uninvited trying to catch the bouquet. As long as dude doesn't have any kids. Listen, don't g...
