Mamachel Has Moved


Salutations!
I’ve had a great time at Blogger and I will always love them for popping my blogging virginity. However, All good things come to an end and I’ve decided to move over to WordPress. They have more options that will enable me to provide my readers with a cleaner look aesthetically and features that will allow me to display more adventures.
I wont lie it wasn’t easy but special shout outs to my personal IT crew Dremaican, Experienceaurie, Rummy and DJ Brucki. Lord know’s I’d have popped out my weave by now if it wasnt for you guys … MUAH.
I’m still making tweaks but feel free to send suggestions and I hope you guys stick with me on my new WordPress adventure.

My Swag Anthem : The Harder they come (throwback Friday)

Hey Guys,


There are certain songs that you can claim as part of the soundtrack to your life. To me "Harder they come" the song AND the movie was a lesson on how to dream big but also a cautionary tale on letting the dream consume you. I can't tell you how many times I've drawn for this song on a rough day or on a good day even. To me it's the ultimate hustlers' anthem and it's that one song that speaks to my soul because no matter what I go through I've never doubted that I'm going to make it. I hope you can get into the vibe of the song. My throwback Friday choice is "Harder they come" - Jimmy Cliff


*Now could someone please go light a spliff for me? !

Wayne Marshall "My Heart" Video Review

Hey Guys, 

The other day I noticed a building buzz about the release of a video from one of our dance hall artistes Wayne Marshall. At first I paid no attention, I'm always hearing about this video and that video only to be disappointed when I view the finished product. Then I saw the trailer, that was all I needed to sit up and pay attention the quality was crisp, there seemed to be a concept and do I dear believe an actual plot? I went to the video launch last night which was sponsored by NCB, Coca Cola, and Flow (sorry if I missed anyone). The support was there in full force with many artistes such as Jah Cure, Mavado (who also is featured in the video), Proteje, Cecile, Chi-ching, present. When the time came and after a couple tries the video was shown in its entirety only for the audience to ask for it to be played two more times. I can genuinely say that I was beyond pleased with the quality of the video, Marshall seems to always find the formula for good entertainment let's not forget "Marshall Town". The plot was solid AND the acting was definitely on point. I look forward to seeing it play on BET, MTV and Much More Music, because its definitely has international quality written all over it. In many ways it reminds me of Common's "Testify" which means that "My Heart" is in excellent company. 

Faith and Love, 

Mamachell 

P.s my only critique of the plot is when the lead was arguing with Wayne AFTER she got caught. Right then and there she needed a hot bax! IMO... Peep the video Below

Summer Sexy



Work By Loni Jones

Unless you’re living in some parallel universe we’ve all been suffering from this heat. This heat will melt any swag, so I decided to get the help of dapper snapper makeup artiste Loni Jones on how to not only look good but also healthy. Because there really isn’t a difference J.


We all know how hot and humid the summer can be! A lot of sweating, sunburn, chapped lips and the list goes on and on. Summer is the perfect season to wear less and feel the wind on your skin, and the perfect season to over expose our precious skin to the harsh rays of the sun.
Where make up is concerned - less is more - so with that here's a list of makeup tips for the tropics/during the summer!!
- 1st and foremost WEAR SUN SCREEN or a moisturizer that has sun screen - that will be your saving grace, make it your BFF, apply this every morning before heading through the door. An alternative is using a foundation that contains SPF whether it’s in liquid or powder form...either way, more than ever, summer is SPF season * wearing a product with SPF at night won’t do anything for you ;) *try shiseido extra smooth sun protection cream spf 38*
- Keep skin HYDRATED – it’s so important to keep the skin hydrated! Drink a lot of water and use products that aid in restoring moisture to the skin which will keep the skin looking supple and healthy - Before going to bed, remember to use your night cream too! *try clarins hydra-quench day cream with spf and hydra-quench night cream*
- Keep FOUNDATIONS AT MINIMAL - there's really no need to pile on layers and layers of foundation - skin should be able to breathe through the foundation, not suffocate under it! *try mixing your liquid foundation with your moisturizer – this is also a trick to turn your moisturizer to a "tinted moisturizer"
- PLAY WITH COLORS – that’s not in your makeup wardrobe - those blues and greens or that orange lipstick your mother used to wear in the 80's  go ahead, try it!! Now is the time to explore your inner flower power
- Go BRONZE - to warm up dull skin use a bronzer that’s appropriate for your skin tone - bronzer can be flat in colour, or shimmery and range from being liquid to solid. If you have dry skin, use a liquid bronzer / if you have oily skin use a powdered bronzer *try nars bronzer casino for oily skin or one of the bronzing multiples*
- WATER-PROOF IT - assuming that most days will be spent outdoors at the beach, on excursions, at the river or swimming with dolphins – there’s nothing wrong with wearing your mascara or eye-liner, just make sure its water proof! *to fix a mascara that’s not already waterproof, try clarins double fix mascara for eyebrows and eye lashes*
- SMILE - people do take notice of your smile. So keep your lips from looking chapped. Wear a lip product that has SPF - if lips do get chapped mix some honey and sugar to create a scrub, and gently slough off the dead skin from lips - follow with a lip balm! *try la mer - baume de la mer - light weight and silky smooth*

These was brought to you by @Lonz - makeup artist, not jesus! :o)

Sex Me Baby Baby






I’ve heard people blame falling in love on everything. From the moon’s alignment to the cologne/ perfume a person was wearing. But one that I keep hearing over and over again is “ The sex was soo good”. So as I sit here watching 16 & Pregnant, and fantasizing about Brody Jenner feeling up my breasts. I finally decide to write this blog, let’s discuss this. As a female I am very aware that ALL men think you will fall in love with them due to the sex game. Yes, I’ve had sex so good I wanted to buy him a short set. Don’t look at me like that you don't know what I’m talking about. These are the ones that make you “irrational” or as my good friend said makes you act “DICKMATIZED”.
 I asked a couple of my male friends if sex can make you fall in love, most said yes but only for females. Apparently men are immune to being “PUSSYTIZED”  ß can I say that? Nevertheless, I did find a semi-sensible explanation among all the testosterone covered answers. One young man compared the situation to a river and rocks. He says sex is the river and the rocks are the obstacles blocking love. The river helping to move or cut through the rocks over time. So basically Good/Great sex can help you fall in love faster.  *Go figure I was drunk*
Okay so now you’ve sexed me into love... now what?   I’m not going to sit here and say I have never been semi dickmatized but I have never confused that with love and i’ve ALWAYS known the source of the feeling. I guess what I’m really trying to figure out here is, how can a feeling as deeply emotional as LOVE be caused by something so purely physical as sex? I mean I’ve SAID stuff... I wont front if you deal wid it right I might even make you some jello, BUT I have NEVER said “I love you” <- But i’ve damn well heard it! Okay im clowning... But seriously, I do agree with men women are more inclined to fall in love based off the sex and not because its that good either but because they tell themselves they are in love. It all goes back to what society thinks and what is acceptable which is if you giving a man yuh chunni then you must be together. And that’s how females end up in loveless relationships running behind some not really worth it man... because he can slang dick. Imma need more than that...
One can be “Dickmatized” at a moment’s notice so I implore my females readers to HALT! At the first sign of Dickmatization and revise the situation at hand. If you find that it is too difficult to do this then it might already be too late. Godspeed.

Faith and Love,
Mamachel

Longest Journey Home Part 1



Today I sit down and try to write the hardest blog I've ever had to write to date. This one was not about some asshole ex-boyfriend nor was it giving advice to some misguided male or female on the affairs of the heart. It was about Jamaica. My beloved country and all its happenings and how my heart is broken. It is safe to say that no truly aware Jamaican is surprised by what has taken place over the past couple of days, it's been a long time coming. Nevertheless, the manner in which it has been executed leaves many mouths agape.

Yesterday, I sat on the plane at Norman Manley Airport filled with trepidation as to what I would be faced with when I left the airport. My blackberry was filled with messages to stay in New York. The trip home was definitely filled with trials and errors, we'd turn down one road and hear gunshots and turn on another. As I drove home I couldn't help but reflect on how different this ride home was compared to the ones in the past. Apart from the obvious warfare that had broken out,there was a distinct change of soundtrack in my head. Where there was once Protoje's "JA" now lived the Zurna for no other reason than that this place, my country now felt like Iraq.
As I sit here in my house safely atop the city in my very Uptown neighborhood and watch the news and listen to mutty perkins I cry off and on as I hear of soldiers burning bodies, babies being shot this morning and continuous gunfire. I want them to weed out the gunmen but NOT LIKE THIS!  I can only pray for my friends who I cannot reach and hope that like me who had a long journey home with many twists, turns, danger and heartache Jamaica will find it's way back home.

P.S. In light of the underground reports of the conduct of the security personnel both Soldiers and Police I felt Buju's song was appropriate. "I could go on and on the full has NEVER been told".

P.P.S. Dear BBC surely you cannot believe that ONLY 12 people alone have been killed. I'd prefer you say "body count unknown" not because Minister of Security say it means its true.

10 Things That Can Make A Pretty Girl Ugly

With the invention of items such as makeup, wonder-bra and extendable body parts, its fairly difficult for a woman to get away with being ugly these days. Even the most hideous creature can look somewhat presentable with the right amount of emoluments to compliment her already ailing canvas. However, whether you are Aphrodite or airbrushed from head to foot, there are still of couple of things that force us men to turn and run the other way. Lets face it, beauty is not only skin deep. So whether you’re looking to beef up your beauty repertoire or just plain keep that sparkle in your eye, there are a few things you always want to bear in mind.

1). A Smile can get you a long way. I’m not saying plaster on a set of joker lips, but even the prettiest face can be scarred by a woman who looks like she's sitting in a meat market. Men like to see a pleasant face, we tend to stray away from miserable ones.

2). Its called being nice, learn how to do it. You’d be surprised how much a “sorry I’m not interested” as opposed to a “nigga please” works in your favor. There’s a big difference between being a lady and being a bitch. No one likes a bitch…period.

3). I’m all for blondes, even dumb ones, but there’s a line of stupidity we just won’t cross. You may be pretty enough to get away with asking me what day of the week we’re in, but if you don’t know the days of the week, we have a problem.

4). At no time should you smell worse than we do. Men have been oblivious to a few things for centuries, and we do it because we prefer to live in a lie. As far as we're concerned, Women don’t fart, burp, dodo or stink! So imagine our horror if we realize you smell like a set of basketball shorts after four quarters. Which brings me to my next 3 points… Women should not

5). Burp

6). Fart or…

7). Do Do. I’m not saying you have to hold it in for the rest of your life, I’m just saying we NEVER want to know about it! A woman’s ass is sacred, and it is never to be desecrated by the thought of you popping a squat.

8). They say sex is a weapon… well good sex is its ammunition. Even the prettiest girl can be kicked to the curb, if she’s not servicing her man right. Look at Halle Berry… her Monster’s Ball performance could have saved her first marriage.

9). Don't be too controlling! The yes dear thing works as a cute wedding advice story, but it real life, it could get your coffee poisoned. Let your man, feel in control, even if he has no clue what he's doing. And...

10). If you remember nothing else, remember this. In the end, a man’s bank account always wins. After all, a man is only as attractive as what he can bring to the table, so when we’re stripped of our amour, chances are we wont go in to battle. If it becomes apparent that you are a burden to my bank account, I’m going to have to save my pennies and get a cheaper companion.

You stick to that script, and I gurantee you, you'll spend less time in the salon and more time int he sack.

X-FREN? : When your partners best friends with the EX

What a gwaan,


Let me start off by saying that how someone feels in this situation is highly based on context. As a result I'm going to tread lightly here as I have been on the hostile end of this situation. I have been that ex who is still best friends. Hell!! I get grief for just being the female friend. Now ladies... As much as i would like to take your sides with this I have to tell you, some of you are straight up tripping. Sometimes you act so jealous and so insecure that you make the man start to wonder what is it about this girl (the best friend) that he might be missing. Surely you cant be tripping for nothing.


Now Listen Mi!! I'm not saying that shady shit doesn't happen , oh yes it does. And it's only human to feel somewhat left out on the inside jokes, the knowing stares the deep stuff he/she might share with that ex. I mean no one wants to feel like a third wheel in their own relationship. BUT take it from someone who's been that best friend... pissing me off is NOT the way to go. I'm not saying you should bow down and be afraid because frankly I'd never hold this over anyones head. However, I do believe that a new partner should respect the HISTORY. Should respect that its takes time to build trust and being with someone 3 -4 months cannot possible equate to a 4 yr relationship. So yes, there are going to be things that he's more comfortable speaking to me about. What's even funny is oftentimes he's asking me for advice about you, so I reiterate pissing me off ... not so smart an idea. 


I do believe that if you start feeling like the little sister tagging along or if that ex is ALWAYS around then that is a discussion to take up with your man/woman and if things don't change then there's a deeper decision to be made. But for the love of God Please! Please! PLEASE! Do not attack the friend! the onus is on your man/woman to set those boundaries. 


At the end of the day KNOW THIS they're the EX that was the past and your are the NOW... Be rationale because You might just push and end up really taking her place. 


Think About it...




Faith and Love,

Mirror Mirror On the Wall ; View from Venus

Salutations!!,



I've read Mars' post and while I agree with what he is essentially saying I do have a few things that I need to clarify. Yes whether the person is prettier or uglier it will hurt  however, there is such a thing as twisting the knife. Regardless of what most men would like you to believe they are very cognisant of whether a man is more attractive or not. How else could you explain jealousy? You're trying to tell me that men aren't aware that Common is hot? I don't believe you.
 When I threw the question out there alot of men said that they'd prefer if he was uglier but more succesful that way he could justify that it was financial reasons why she left. To date ONLY  two men have said "Chels, I just dont want to know if he's ugly or not". And so from the male point of view I must agree with Mars men tend to be more concerned if his penis is bigger or if he's better in bed but try as you might to pretend I know it still hurts. Now on the female psyche...

Im not going to front... If a man leaves me for a uglier girl thats gonna mess me u p ALL sorts a ways. Remember Im not the only one seeing her, EVERYBODY is going to see her. Everyone is going to see you (my ex) with and "Ugly Girl" not that's a kick in the stomach. Tell me how do you explain that?! 0_o If she's rich you get a lucky break just label his ass as a gigalo and move on people will believe that before they believe he left your fine ass for a simple jane. Leave you for someone prettier then he's just shallow. It's really a lose lose situation cause at the end of the day she has him or he has her and your ass is left alone, a clearly ugly feeling.
The way I see it Brad Pitt did it best he got a bad ass bitch that no one could deny was hot. As much as he went about his infidelity the wrong way people were understanding cause at the end of the day people are shallow with egos.
Leave me fora bitch so bad I can't help but be a fan. Let me be on the phone like "This asshole! I hate him but damn that bitch is bad". That's my point if you leave my ass it better be for Tits, Ass, Smile And a motha loving personality and then you Might get a bligh.

Mirror Mirror On the wall : View From Mars

Now you got to ask yourself this question, if you were to get hit down by a car, would you want it to be a Benz or a Lada? If you’re going to be put in prison, do you want it to be for a big crime or a little one? Then in the same breath if you know your significant other is leaving you for someone else, do you want it to be for someone better looking or uglier?
Mars seems to have a somewhat different outlook on this entire situation, that I’m sure Venus will have choice words for. Where as the female may be concerned with questions like "is she prettier that me" or "does she have a better body", men seem to really only be concerned with one key issue… "is he better than me in the sack".
This may stem from the fact that the male ego doesn’t permit us to see another male as better looking or better built, but our animalistic instinct would always like to know that you were a better lover.
Lets face it, a mans personal appearance meter can be boosted by things like money, possessions and success, whereas the only real thing a woman can do to enhance her appearance is slap on another quote of makeup, a wonder bra or a tight short skirt. In the end it all comes down to sex.
Think about it ladies, has your new love interest asked you any of the following questions pertaining to your ex boyfriend–
1). Does he have a bigger dick than me?
2). Did he always make you come?
3). What positions did you guys do?
4). What did he do that you didn’t like?
But gentlemen, how many times have you heard
1). Is she prettier than me?
2). Did she have a bigger butt?
3). Does she have bigger breast?
4). Are you still attracted to her?
In the end it’s only wise to remember that no two people are alike in appearance, and attraction is something that doesn’t only stem from a physical perspective. But if you can keep your lady happy in the sack, there will be a lot less breakups and a whole lot more make up sex!

Tax Eh Turbii --> How dis tax ting hurt di dating :p



Greetings!!,

I hope this blog finds everyone in a good mood for the new year and if not, then hold firm as good things come to those who wait. Speaking of waiting for good things it starting to look like with the current economic situation many girls both local and abroad going to have to wait for likkle money to spend on them. If one time we coulda cuss a man that he's mean for not spending any money now we have to look on tings and give him a pass... Yes! Give the men a pass. Have you seen the new prices out there? Here is a list of a few  things that might possibly get affected:

1] Pick up:- As a girl that grew up living on God's back (really far) you kinda learned to judge how serious a guy was if he insisted on picking you up. BUUUT with these new gas prices, gas tax you have to see with him if he says "meet me there" or if those daily pick ups from work become every other day. Hey! he can still open the car door when you reach

2] Restaurant Calibre :- Bwaay big and serious I drove into a Burger King drive through and saw a combo for $600 JMD that's around $5.00 USD  that might not seem like alot but gone are the days when you can push up you mouth at some Burger King. One bredren tell me that if a girl order lobster she must plan fi run di pums 0_o *hard times I telling you people*.. Ladies you betta reat that BK like is fine dining or a man might be having his way right away lol

3] Allowance:- Now this one dedicated to the kept women the ones with "sugar daddies" you gonna have start budgeting out how you spend that money baaayybee 'cause guaranteed the monthly allowance getting cut down. You have to be understanding School fee raise for the kids, wife still want the lifestyle she's used to , and so naturally is your budget get cut have no fear please see the following budgeting tip.

4] Weave: Yes I said it.. Weeeaavee! Plenty girls wont be getting any dates cause dem ugly without it and weave prive gone up my dear. Yaki cyaaan wear again and Milky way is a luxury maybe you should bring back the alicia keys look and invest in some Kanikalon (not sure is suh it spell). Men don't be surprised if you start seeing alotta "natural mystic" everywhere just support her and have some wonder 8 oil ready in case that puff is dry :p

But on a serious note does this mean that we have to settle in the dating world? That we both have to behave like orphan annie and split a whopper in two?! I think not I think now is the best time to get creative. Ladies instead of going out to dinner and spending more money invite him over make something to eat and here's the thing It doesn't have to be a three course meal. Make some Mac n' Cheese and serve that in nothing but a apron and heels and TRUST MI he'll praise that like its Fillet Mignon*

Fellas rent a DVD invite her over put that on aprojector and have a movie night at home. Sheeitt serve me some Mac n Cheese ina apron alone *sans heels*

If anything these hard times will affirm its what ive been saying all along "it's the little things that matter" .

Faith and Love <- they're tax free,

Make Me Over? View from Venus



It's something i've seen constantly in relationships whether it's romantic or strictly platonic someone's always trying to change the other person. Im not talking about parents naggin you to change this or that. They can get away with that, it's their JOB. Im speaking about mainly in the relationship you know what I'm talking about that significant other who always seem to have some form of criticism. Now before men take this and run with it I see nothing wrong with offering advice to a partner about something that can make the relationship run more smoothly i.e return calls, inform if  your going to be late, or don't talk down to me infront of my boys all with a nice PLEASE. What I have a problem with is someone trying to change WHO they knew you were before they started the relationship. Homey you knew she was a lush wasn't she drunk when you got her number? Woman didn't you meet him with braids, how all of a sudden you want him bald?
I see it as a deception. How might you ask? Well here I am all happy that I've found someone that loves me for all my quirks and faults only to find out over time that in fact you weren't in love with who I am but with who you could make me. I have a major problem with is.I cannot count the times i've dated a guy only to be disappointed by the criticisms "so hmm chel you swear alot" to which I respond "fuck yeah, you didnt know me before?"   This is one of the fundamental problems in most relationships or inability to accept a aprtner for who they are.Many of us go into relationships with the intent to change. WHY?!!! I can't tell you how many times I have heard a girl say " He's not my type but I can work with it" and everytime I ask myself "Wat shi really mean by work wid it, after is not a house she a buy and fix up?". I shake my head because sooner or later someone's going to get tired of either being nagged or not being able to change a person.
Here is my concern... If you dont like that fact that I drink ( some might say alot sic ), swear like a sailor, and speak my mind then we definately can't be in a relationship. I've heard of men not wanting their girls to speak patios (patwah) in public o.0  I wish a nigga would try and tell me what dialect I could and could not use cause last time I checked my tongue was in MY mouth hmph.
At the endof the day i've spent many lonesome nights and days because I'm not trying to change anyone I love you for who you are BUT you aren't always for me but we cool.. right?All i'm saying is the minute a man starts trying to make me over I'm gone. "Take me as I am, or have nothing at all" <- who sing dat again?

Feelin Hot! Hot! Hot! Diary: Day 5 <- Yippee

Salutations,

Today was a great day. I had promised my readers that I'd bounce back from yesterday's shame with a vengeance and I think I did a fair enough job (if I may say so myself). Oh well, One with it!

6:30 a.m.: I wake up and get to work after much deliberation over which shoes I have to match what top I choose my outfit and jump into the shower (plug in curling iron) <- not necessarily in that order.

Things run smoothly for the morning I even put on some eyeshadow (mad ting). I step out the door and reel so confident I dont even pack a B.U.B (back up bingo).

8:35 a.m.: I'm greeted at the door with a whistle and a "Wow! hot girl" :) Throughout the day I get random compliments from co workers and visiting clients and vendors. Shooks my hair was so on point someone thought I had gone tot he hairdresser. All in all it was a success.



3:30 p.m.: I touch up makeup not too much. I also make plans to meet my bredren at Devon House to enjoy some Devon Stout ice cream, I'm sorry I have to go "somewhere" and it's food (my belly shall lead me astray).

Findings: My admiration for women who can maintain this look on a daily basis has grown immensely. And although I cannot promise you that I will develop those habits (I do believe you have to be girly by nature) I cannot deny that the compliments and attention wasn't pleasant. I will dress up every now and then just as a reminder :)

P.S. thanks to all my readers and tweeps who followed, encouraged, commented, read and most importantly woke me the hell up :) It was appreciated. To my new readers welcome and thank you and to the veterans bless i appreciate the encouragement.

Faith and Love,

Mamachel

Feelin Hot!Hot!Hot! Diary: Day 4

Hey guys,

My worthless internet provider LIME (Luu In Mostly Everything) isn't working so I'll have to type from my phone. Soo without further hesitation let me just tell you guys.

I WOKE UP LATE nothing got done. Yup that's right no makeup, no contacts, no curled hair the only thing that got in the mix was the thong (I am determined). Bare with mi peeps, I didn't have my car and was begging a ride.
I actually lotioned my legs and moisterized my face in the car. Shheeeiitt I even forgot my emergency bingo! And as further proof that I failed I got zero compliments today as a matter of fact I got a mean side eye (sigh) All in all I let my little experiment go today so tomorrow for the last day I plan to go all out.















Day 4: Failed *hangs head in shame*

Faith and Love,

Mamachel

Feelin Hot! Hot! Hot! Diary: Day 3

Hello,

Let me just jump right in. I'm having a bittersweet moment with this experiment. While I have come to realize that I am more comfortable in my own skin than I thought I am also suffering from lack of sleep that being said let's move along tot he day...Straight up this is not for me. ...

7:00 a.m. : I finally roll over and gasp (anybody else notice how I'm waking up later and later?) Well this beauty ting is seriously taking its toll. I gotta wake up earlier than normal to get shit done meng.

7:30 a.m. : It finally hits me that its really really late and while I love this blog and want to give my readers a good experience some of the beauty regime have to be sacrificed for the J-O-B. So I take out my trusty black pencil skirt and black top and throw in some black heels and a scarf (feeble attempt at jazzing up) and shot it through the door. Oh yeah, I forgo makeup (hangs head in shame) 




8:45 a.m. : I reach work and head straight to the kitchen to make some tea (rough morning). I'm greeted by my co worker who takes one look at me and asks "Who died?" I'm like what? He repeats with way more seriousness "Oh God Chel did someone die? Im so sorry didnt mean to make a joke. You're going to a funeral dont it?"
I simply smile and say "Nope, no funeral" I'm greeted with confused :s stares

9:00 a.m. : I trudge back to my desk not feeling so cute at all. So far I've been confused for a emo coworker who might be heading to a funeral.

 The day passes with little or no activity. No thong violation in sight, in fact I haven't looked at the emergency Bingo in my bag all morning. I'm starting to believe that said thong from day 1 whose name shall not be repeated might have been sent by satan himself.

1:20 p.m. : I look up to see a jancrow from the past standing in my office. Sigh of course, the one day I don't wear make up or put much curl in my hair, would be the ONE DAY that as ass from the past would surface. Nevertheless, I go about my business but now I get an understanding of how these females think. I get that little voice whispering in my ear "You never know who you might see".  Oh well lesson learnt but I'm still not sure I could do this outside of the experiment.

Day 3: 75% completed with 1 lesson learnt

Faith and Love,

Feelin Hot! Hot! Hot! Diary: Day 2

Howdy Folks,

So this is day two of my experiment in which for one week I will try to maintain the hotness. Here we go

6:00 a.m. : Psssh! Roll over hit snooze button

6:30 a.m. : I get a blackberry message "Alm wake up you need to get pretty" . 0_o Awww frig I'm late!! so I jump out of bed and stretch. At least I know what I'm wearing however, I fell asleep before ironing so off to ironing I go (groan can someone do this for me?!).










7:20 a.m. : and I plug in my curling iron then rush into the shower ( I do a mental check to ensure I turned on the heater).
7:45 I start hyperventilating as I try to tweet AND lotion AND BBM AND curl my hair. But then I read my tweets and I must say shout outs for all the encouragement a bitch was this >< close to grabbing a pair of jeans and some gel.

 8:00 I press the nos (is suh it spell?)  and get ready in crazy seconds everything is on rapid inclusive of makeup and hair. I'm happy with the results and I can leave on time to get to work. White and Grey pinstripe pants, White blouse and navy blue loafers.












As the day progresses I realize I now have the hang of this although I am still annoyed at the makeup on my cell phone but I brought a tissue to wipe it off and i did get another compliment at work "oww!"

By 3:13 i'm faded and need to touch up my make up but frankly I have no time I got owrk out the waazoo and i havent eaten lunch as yet. Im pretty certain I look stressed and hungry but when i finally get to look in the mirror I'm surprised I look normal.
By 5:15 no amount of MAC cosmetics technology can save me I'm ready to leave and so I do.

I must say however that on more than one occassion I almost juck out my eye  when trying to put in my contacts. AND although the thong violation wasn't as bad as yesterday I was still acutely aware that i was not alone all day (LOL). It is tiring to constantly be aware of ones appearance though. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Day 2: Completed.




Love and Faith
Mamachel :)

Feelin Hot! Hot! Hot! Diary: Day 1



















Salutations People! Im one of those females who will always give respect and compliments when they are deserved. That being said let me get into my topic. I'm always seeing these women around the ones that are always put together Hair curled up, make up well done, no pantie lines and clothes ironed. You know these women man the ones who leave the chair smeilling like perfume when they get up... Anyways, Ive always admired them as a woman I know it takes a good amount of work to be so well put together all day. Anyhoo, I have decided to find out exactly how much work goes into looking like this daily. Now I'm no plain jane but trust me when it comes to work clothes I dont excactly go all out so follow me as I try to be hot ALL WEEK

DAY ONE (cue Law & Order dum dum)

6:00 a.m : Woke up on time looked chose a black flair skirt and turqouise top, nothing fancy I know but let's play it safe for the first day. I do the requisites i.e. bathe, brush teeth and then I eye the thong skeptically for those of you who dont know I despise those things. Anyways, I decide to bite the bullet.
I put on make up and feel my skin as wth do the hair, shove the contacts in and head on out surprisingly on time.

8:30 : Reach work, we're locked outside and I start worrying that my makeup might not look so hot in a couple of minutes. We get inside just in the nick of time and I notive a couple of my co workers staring at me funny.

9:15: Male co worker comments on my look saying "hey I guess I could get used to this" We head into production meeting where my "new face" becomes a 5 minute topic. I try not to squirm

As the day progresses I find that Im not as uncomfortable as I anticipated nevertheless I am annoyed with the makeup that comes off on my phone everytime I answer it. As I start to relax and get all diva drama strikes.

2:30 or 3:00 p.m.: The thong starts violating me I send BBM to sistren "I can't do this this friggin thong is violating me.. mi mad fi tek it off and go commando" the response "Do it! and add that in your blog" well folks I didn't. I squirm, I shift I slide but I did not take it off. But let me say it's a sad affair when you looking on a clock so you can go home and take off a panty.

I work late and leave the office at 6:00 p.m. by this time my hair is messy, my make up is stale (forgot the kit for touch ups) and I've already filled you in onthe panty situation. As i drive home I seriously wonder if I can continue this project....

Day one: complete

Best Friends till the End like Chucky? <- Mars View


Okay I'll admit it, I'm a Greys Anatomy fan. That being said I was eagre to see the Patrick Dempsey chick flick Made Of Honour  in which he plays a once carefree playboy who is asked by his best friend (played by the beautiful Michelle Monaghan) to be the 'maid of honour' at her wedding. The only 'other' obvious problem with this scenario, is he now realizes that he has fallen head-over-heels for his gal pal. It got me thinking about all those stories of  best buddies turned lifelong partners I've heard about about. In many cases the feeling is mutual, but others, lifelong friendships have been shattered when one party realizes they just don't feel the same way about the other. This now begs the question, Should you tell your best friend you want to move from a platonic relationship to a romantic one?

Mars has mixed feeling where this is concerned, so we'll try to break it down into the most important things to consider before making your decision.

1). Familiarity doesn't over-ride caution. Even though you've been with her for what you consider most of your life, when it comes to emotions, you might not know her as well as you think you do. Knowing her favorite color or flavor ice-cream is a far cry from how she will react to situations of the heart. In these situations it's not a bad idea to read, re-read and read again before making your decision.

It's already a lot harder to negotiate matters of tangible interest with the ones you love, so imagine how difficult it will be when it comes to your emotions.

2).  It's also possible she feels the same way, but just doesn't know it yet. Sometimes you've become so familiar with a situation it's hard to see it as anything else. Rum and Coke may have never known they would make such a spectacular drink until one of them was bold enough to mix with the other. Sometimes it's up to you as the individual to shake things up and see what could possibly surface.

3). Then there's the all or nothing rule. Is it better to live the rest of your life not knowing what may have been, or risk it all for the off chance that she may feel the same way? As a poker player my first instinct would be to yell "Srew it, I'M ALL IN"... but many a player have done the same thing and left the table empty handed. While it is true that the man who saves his chips and folds on every play could possibly make it to the end of the game, he still risks going home empty handed.

Advice: The most important thing to remember before making this decision is to reassure your gal pal that if she doesn't feel the same, you still value the friendship and want things to be as they were. In some cases a woman's greatest fear is that she does give it a try, and if things don't work, you risk destroying something sacred.This is by all means possible, but it's up to the two of you to remember the strong foundation for which the relationship was built in the first place, and that's friendship. So if you feel the need to err on the side of caution, there's nothing wrong with playing it safe, but just remember, the greater the risk, the sweeter the rewards!

Sex with the Ex? - A view from Venus

Let me jump right in... !

Hopefully, by now everyone has read my fellow blogger Cuffe's post about Sex with the Ex. If not then click here to see. Now I would like to tell him thanks as I always want to ensure I'm representing my male readers. HOWEVER, its now my turn to go all in. So, LET'S GO!

First and foremost I will display no objectivity on this topic. Plain and straight ladies DONT DWEET! Be honest with yourselves you cannot have sex with an ex and not "catch feelings", it's gonna happen.  "Listen mi!" (Bounti Killa voice) you might as well start the countdown from the moment your panty reach your ankles. Sure we are all adults here and most times females do go into these situations with good intentions of staying neutral and not falling back in like or in love with the person but fact is fact you will get caught up. Now let's look into why women might have sex with the ex. Cause according to Cuffe post men do it because its Free, Easy and Known waters (hmm recycling my yute?). Ladies on the other hand do it because....

1] She doesn't want to run up her numbers :- hate to break the ego guys but alot of times a girl just don't wanna run up the count. As a result, she just keeps sleeping with you until she can find someone else. And yes sometimes you might do something that makes her think you might be reconsidering (DANGEROUS WATERS)

2] She isnt sure about the guy she just started dating :- Mi tyad fi tell you men but women love sex just as much as you do. If a girl just met you chances are she's going to be on her best behaviour... with you. That dont mean she isnt horny and so she might just continue to link up the ex on the sly till she's certain that's where she wants to go with you.

3] She hopes the pokey gonna kidnap you back into loving her : - lawd gee. Some women are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that they can MAKE a man love them. While sex is a good way to ensure a booty call, it sure as hell dont guarantee no love.

4] It feels good :- yea you know how to hit that ONE spot right over there ....

Advice: Leave the ex alone it's gonna be hard at the beginning as most people are drawn to the familiar. But why expose yourself to all that heartache, pain and self doubt. Love yourself first and someone deserving will come along. Sex with the ex is  like driving on a Donut wheel its alright for aa momentary problem but eventually its gonna cause a problem. Why? Because a Donut wheel is NOT the real thing.

Faith and Love,

Mamachell
