Hump Day Hype

Sooo it's that time again. As I reflect on the date I went on last night I can't help but give it a soundtrack...

I Know

As I strolled into my date late once again:

I know I know I know (What you know Meek?)
You ain’t that Guy you say you is (Well how you know though?)

Wildest Dreams

After the date ended I was singing a different tune:

Never in my wildest dreams, no, no, no
Did I think someone could care about me, oh

It's safe to say I'm an unstable female that jumps to conclusions and thinks with the worst case scenarios in mind. LOL

Hump Day Hype

It's Wednesday and despite waking up late for work I'm in an extremely great mood so here's want I'm currently dancing to in my Cubilar

She Twerking

It took me forever to find this song because I'm horrible with lyrics, but this song takes me back to 2008 my most limber twerking days 

I Won

Who knew Future could be so romantic. Lawd't CiCi got a real man on her hands. My homegirl was right we didn't us a basketball player LOL. Side Note- Hate Kanye's verse

Suitcase

Sooo I am addicted to heartbreak songs. I listen to sappy sad songs all day everyday even when they have absolutely nothing to do with my current love life. This song is just so sad babygirl came home to her man leaving. Naw bro that wouldn't happen to me...again LOL

Let me know what you're listening so I can add it to my "Tune out the Man" soundtrack

PRista Pow- The Hustle

The PR hustle is never ending. I can easily be complacent with where I'm at in life right now but this PRista wants the more. So last night I took my talents to the premiere of Marlon Wayans Funniest Wins.

What does one wear to a Hip Hop Concert?!

Hey LSO people! So last weekend I had the pleasure of going to a huge Hip Hop Concert in my area. I bought the tickets early April, and I had been counting the days because I'm a huge hip hop fan. Ask Tomeka I know the words to every song known to man. The concert I attended "The Big Show at the Joe" featured the likes of Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar (my husband lol), JCole, August Alsina, Trey Songz (my other bae lol), Ty Dolla Sign, and a few local acts. So now you understand my excitement?! With all the huge acts that were to perform I knew I would be on my feet for a long time, so I wanted to be cute, but comfortable. I made the mistake of wearing heels to a Drake concert last year, and my feet were on fire and I didn't want to make that mistake again. Below, I pulled together a simple but cute look that will help give ideas on what to wear to a Hip Hop concert.

Revamp Your Office

 

 

Another week another dollar...

 

The weekend is over, and yet another week is upon us. But don't worry LSO has your back!! There's an easy and quick way to make your work space feel like home. As young twenty-somethings most of us have started breaking into corporate America, and have been given a little space to call an office. And whether you have an actual office, a cubicle, or you  work from home. I have found a few key pieces that will give your office a warm positive atmosphere, because at the end of the day we spend eight plus hours at work. We might as well be comfortable there. So lets Revamp our space shall we?!?

Daddy's Girl

 My daddy was the first male I have ever stalked. I remember like it was yesterday when he told me that I couldn't come with him on a Saturday outing with him and my uncles. While he took a shower I put on my shoes and snuck in the trunk of his Jimmy Truck. I laid in that trunk in crouching tiger hidden dragoon position for TWO hours before he finally came out. Just as we flew down the freeway I screamed surprise. We very well could of died that day and I was returned the surprise as he dropped my lil self back off. That day made two things official that I was a daddy's girl to my core and that it's safe to say I'm insanely passionate.

Over the years I've realized that my mother has taught me what it takes to be a woman and my dear ole dad has instilled in me my self worth. A father can teach you many things so here's my papi taught me.

Happy Father's Day from LSO

Happy Father's day to all the Daddy's and Daddy angels

Why Moving is a Must

Most of us ventured away to college 6 odd years ago. Some stayed close to home and others ran as far as they could. As college came to a close many of us had to make the decision whether to retreat back home to a rent free lifestyle or take on the world. I too retreated home, but I must say when I moved I found myself in a different world. Literally the hardest thing I've ever done, but it was all worth it and here's why.....

-No Angel-

My heart was broken at the end of last year and it wasn't from a love interest, but yet from an unexpected life plunge. Having someone abruptly snatched from me is something that has occurred too frequently in the past few years for my liking. While I choked back all my emotions just to get by from day to day, life took me on another turn that introduced me to everything that I had been running from....

Part II: Brutal Honesty

So yesterday I posted  Part I of my mission to discover why I am single and I must say one can definitely learn a lot from an old flame.  After reading those responses from my former lovers about a thousand and one times I came to the conclusion that Me, Myself  is still a great catch. I mean I'm independent, driven, a future Olympic baby breeder, and a new found comedic genius. Plus if I dished out so much BS my friends would of surely told me before this mission right....But boy was I more wrong than the time I thought I could use baby powder as a substitute for carpet fresh.

Hump Day Hype-Heart Break Edition

In the midst of a heart break these are sure songs that got me through or sometimes broke me down even more lol

"Free Yourself"

After calling his phone about 15 times I would sulk and play this song on repeat

 "Me, Myself, and I"

Then I would slowly transition to my girl B and have an all out concert with the lights off

"Fool of Me"

 I use to have a thing for ball players so for  the grand finale I would play this song till I fell asleep

P.S if you going through it right now all I can say is that days will come when someone will show you a side to Love that doesn't involve any hurt.

Autopsy of my LOVE

L O V E

The act of being voluntarily vulnerable is something that I've witnessed many times and yet it's still so foreign to me. Weeks ago, I stumbled upon Necole Bitchie personal post  and saw my home girl suffered from the same Cupid Kryptonite. Her post talked about her struggle with love and as I read the more it reflected my own hardships. Like most girls, I too, get questioned why  I'm single like a dollar bill.  So for the last two weeks I went on a mission to uncover the truth. So here's my autopsy to my inner Joan, Carrie Bradshaw, and Julia...

Sorry Geh: The World got the Best of Me

Yesterday I found myself at my landlords daughter graduation party. It was amazing to see the joy of a recent high school grad ready to get out into the world. It didn't dawn on me until a few moments ago that on this day 6 years ago I too took a strut across the stage.
