This woman came up to me the other day and said, “You know, I think people dress a lot better when they’re in love with themselves, with other people, or with where their life is. -Solange
The style that gets the most compliments and landed me in this passed Fall’s Essence Hot Hair Special Issue! I used Marley hair to achieve this look. Proof that protective styling doesn’t have to be boring!
Gorgeous. I need a tutorial on how to do that.

Sgt. Merlin German The ‘Miracle’ Marine
November 15th 1985- April 11th 2008
Merlin German waged that battle in the quiet of a Texas hospital, far from the dusty road in Iraq where a bomb exploded on Feb. 21, 2005 near German’s Humvee, hurling him out of the turret and engulfing him in flames. Leaving him with burns over 97 percent of his body.
No one expected him to survive.
But for more than three years, he would not surrender. He endured more than 100 surgeries and procedures. He learned to live with pain, to stare at a stranger’s face in the mirror. He learned to smile again, to joke, to make others laugh.
He became known as the “Miracle Man.”
But just when it seemed he would defy impossible odds, Sgt. Merlin German lost his last battle during a routine surgery on April 11th 2008.
“I can’t remember a time where he said, ‘I can’t do it. I’m not going to try.”
German was just 22.
It truly pisses me off that a picture of some girls fucking shoes gets more notes then this.
Rest Easy brother.

Powerful, Demanding, Vocal Seductions
You ever listen to a voice and get so captivated by the emotions in their voice that you feel yourself in their shoes?
Ever hear a voice that lets the notes come out with such ease that you can’t help but try it out for yourself and see if you can make it sound that nice?
Well, there’s a new artist by the name of Emeli Sande, and she has that ability to make you feel her music whether you want to or not. Her lyrics are powerful, her look is so demanding and her voice will seduce you.
She is the winner of the Brit Awards 2012, and her album is coming out tomorrow, Feb. 13.
I am so excited to hear it, and can’t wait to tell you all about. Check out her website with videos and singles at http://www.emelisande.com/

His Absence Hurts More than Anything
I really hate that his absence effects me so much. That heavenly bliss will end without a simple sign of affection. Hate that at 23 years of age i am just as lost as i was when i was 9. Hate that my memories of you only come down to 3 moments in time. Hate that the one closest to me isn’t feeling what i feel, not one bit.
