Hello my Loves,

Im sooo lovin' this song! Solange killed it =) I LOVE when people express who they are and embrace there individuality! With so many people tryin to fit into the latest craze and the latest fashion this is really a breath of fresh air! Esp. with all this BULL that's on the radio now-a-days what happened to all the REAL MUSIC??? ....now it's about being a JERK and dumb ass songs like "halle berrryyy" or the "do the kim kardashian" ummm excuse me that is NOT music it's cute lil catchy hooks... and if you think about it

SAME song+ diff. name+ diff. beat= OLD NEWs ..

im not sure about yall but i much prefer that music that just touches you and has a message behind it & makes you think! Guess im just that type of person..

Anywhoo ..Enjoy Yall =)

!!!!!!!!!EMBRACE YOUR INDIVIDUALITY!!!!!!!!

I have so many more posts coming and I hope to keep yall interested. I am going to try & start posting at least 4x's a week ( hopefully) lol .... but YEAH just wanna say THANK YOU!!!! ILY

***A message 2 the haters***

OK so let me start by saying WOW! you hater's never cease to amaze me! I have been reading a couple of comments on blogger as well as my youtube & I MUST say ........"GET A LIFE"....... I am NOT nor have I ever been a dumb chick; but I cant for the life of me understand why you would want to tear somebody down!?! WTF!!! it's pathetic. You ladies seem to have gotten your wires crossed & started thinking that I CARE about what the next person would have to say about me! NEVER HAVE & NEVER WILL its just not me =). I just feel like you HATER's need to be taken down a notch and put back in ya place! HENCE THIS POST: As for the LAME "compliment/insult" comments please KEEP THEM. (simple as that). As for the "FAKE" comments please DO NOT try and tell ME about ME!.. that is the dumbest thing I've EVER heard.. As far as my hair goes ( since that's the only thing on y'all pigeon ass brains??!!??) NO I DO NOT HAVE A PERM!!! i keep it real, if I had one i would say it, i see no problem in having 1 ...same as if i had a " full sew-in" if i had it then I would say it ..again it's nothing bad about it!! ... but what BLEW MY MIND is then they have the audacity to end the comment with "PEACE & LOVE"???????.. <----ummm no sweetie that's nothing but HATE!!! but i expect it because naturally your a hater =) an "ANONYMOUS"hater lol<-- Take you own advice &be real about who you are instead of judging the next person!


I guess I'll end this post with a question for y'all to think about!. In the word's of MARIAH.........."WHY YOU SO OBSESSED WITH ME???"

xoxo, Lauren

Lions, Tigers & Bears....

I'm Not sure no/ I'm not sure....

But if we never try we'll never know/

It's better to have loved then not to love at all/

Not trying is worse, then to stumble & fall/

& if we do/ I'd rather it be with you...

Cuz @ least there will be SWEET MEMORIES.......

Hello My Loves,

Sooo remember when I told you ladies I was going through a POSSIBLE breakup?(thanx 4 all the love btw!) Well well well… where do I begin??

I ♥ HIM =) .....

He makes my day better, and he's THE FUCKIN BEST! (*sorry random DRAKE moment*) lol . I cant begin to count the ways that he is always there for me, when I'm flying off the handle and taking my day out on him he is STILL there… umm can we say “ SOLIDER” !!! ( don't get it twisted now... I'm there 4 all his DRAMA as well!) lol. We have been together for almost 3yrs now.. and I think we both got a lil’ tooo comfortable & we were taking each other for granted; not doing the lil’ things we used to do to make each other feel special! Anywho.. long story short, after being apart from each other, we have decided we are both in this relationship for the long run. I really couldn't imagine being with anyone else, because he is my BFF & Lover wrapped into 1 =) + he's the only one who actually understands my randomness & always laughs @ my jokes!... okay now im sounding all mushy and too girly so I wont bore y'all anymore...Just a lil' update !

xoxo, Lauren

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Today was my good friend HELENA's B-DAY ! Me & her have been working 2gether since Nov. and she is the BEST! She is so sweet & thoughtful, and the easiest person to talk to! My friend Arlin & I decided to surprise her for her special day... we bought balloons & a giant card , decorated her office with cute little birthday cutouts, and of course had the 7- Eleven ICED COFFEE's on deck ( our fav.) lol. Later that day her boyfriend surprised her by having a HUGE bouquet of flowers and a cute little teddy bear delivered. It was the sweetest thing EVER! She was so happy & that was a great thing to see because she really deserves it =)

LOVE YA GIRLIE =)
