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!

JUNE 24TH FOR THE 26TH TIME

"This year I turn 26, damn it seem it came so quick. My ass and legs have gotten thick." Those are words from the great Erykah Badu. I tweaked the age a little bit. Man, I can really relate to that line. If you didn`t know, I celebrated my 26th birthday on June 24, 2015. Every birthday that I`ve ever had, I`ve looked forward to. I planned parties, organized trips, time off from work, etc. But this birthday was different. It didn`t feel the same this year. Usually, I`m anticipating the 24th. "What am I gonna wear?", "I need to loose some weight!", "I need home girl to take my shift!" Nope. Not this year. I was in the airport traveling for work because I. NEED. MONEY. I spent the months before planning new insurance and thinking about how I`m only 4 years away from 30. I can`t even click the 18-25 age group on job applications now. I`m starting to think about stability and stuff. All the bagels and sandwich breads are going to my hips. I`m attrac...

SHIFT YOUR ENERGY

"Get ready for a shift." Aight so boom... I used to think that only crazy, unfortunate things happened to me . Like, I was the only one to be chubby and teased as a child, I was the only clumsy kid who dropped everything, I never really won anything, I was the only one in the world who tried to make a mother's day spread and it end up being too salty to eat. At one point, I started calling myself "Bad Luck Brit". Whatever energy you put out comes back to you. Photo: Sierra Campbell Because of those experiences, I went through most of life almost always expecting things to turn out for the worst. I mean, I would think of the most horrible case scenario for every situation. Me: *Gets a new job* Also, Me: "Watch, I'm gone get fired for this pink hair and nose ring." Me: *Meets a nice man* Also, Me: "Watch, he gone have a secret relationship, a hidden baby and commitment issues." See what I'm saying? There...

SWIPE RIGHT FOR THE ONE TIME

" I need a date for Valentine's Day " or " Another Valentine's Day...Alone ." or " 2 more weeks til Valentine's Day, who's gonna be my date ?" First of all, why have we been stressing about this day since the end of December? Secondly, I need a "pre-date" before I go out with you on Valentine's Day. What if you end up being crazy? What if you're boring and I don't like you? Then when we go out, I end up seeing the guy that I really like. Now I gotta peace you out. You ain't about to mess up a potential marriage for me. Hell. As crazy as this may sound to you, I never really saw Valentine's Day as a day to be miserable and in my feelings about the man who's not here rubbing my feet. I do that on Tuesdays. I remember being a little girl seeing my daddy walk through the door with balloons, flowers, cards, teddy bears, candies and cakes for me and my mother every Valentine's Day. We could always expect ...
