Beauty and Martinis.....Fashion,Drinks and Convo

  "LETS TALK ABOUT SEX BABY" Salt-n-Peppa We all know this day and time, SEX is not a taboo to discuss or to see anymore. Sex is overrated in some eyes because it's typically the same routine. Well... my friends today the topic of sex will change your view on being "overrated." This topic can get intense and ruffle a few collars due to personal opinions, religion and comfort. When did the time come to say sex is okay to be open? Do factors play in key in discussing sex, thinking of sex, remembering sex and having sex? Are the age limits to sex? Do men have more sex than women? Why does society look at women so taboo for doing what men do especially with sex? “ The subject of sex preoccupies us. It's the source of our most intense pleasures. Often it's also the cause of misery, much of which arises from built-in conflicts between the evolved roles of women and men. ” "Why is Sex Fun? The Evolution of Human Sexuality" by Jared Diamond

We have seen all Facebook pictures with long congrats speeches, IG post and Twitter tweets. So let Beauty & Martinis be in line to say CONGRATULATIONS on this chapter. It is now time to turn the page and start a new series. If you are to celebrate please drink responsibly and age appropriate. Look yourself in the mirror and say "yea, you did that" with the biggest damn from ever. Do not let anyone steal your joy on what you done for you!! Salute golden child.....It is your time to shine!!

The stories we see on Lifetime network, USA or movies on Netflix and other television stations that speak on abuse towards women are sometimes hard to deal with. However, this topic isn't just women, thee are men, boys and girls who suffer from abuse everyday as well.  Being a survivor of sexual and mental abuse, this topic is can be hard to deal with; but it must be heard.  There are so many emotions, thoughts and fears that victims deal with everyday for the rest of their lives. Victims may have a sense of doubt and questions on why this situation has happen.  Memories of the tragedy can be long term and left with a sense of emptiness. The victim usually knows the person that is doing the abuse which makes the healing process that much harder to do. But having a support system can help with recovery. Strength as being told comes in numbers and with time. Being older, I thought that time will heal and in some cases it does and for others may take a little longer than others.

Sometimes as women we lose ourselves in so many ways and sadly so quickly. Women have so many roles without being asked or even receiving a thank you. Women do not look for justification on why we are superwoman or reasoning on why things should be done. However, we are tired of the shame, disrespect, and the notion of knowing we run this world to not be given a plaque of our own. Yes, people wake up; it is not a man’s world. Women bare children, run a household, work many different jobs, have long nights and short days, get up the next day and do it all again.........(sigh) but throughout many roles no respect or honor is given. Today women we will stand tall with our stilettos, gym shoes, yoga mats, or cute rhinestone sandals and take our place in this world with a bomb ass martini. We will grab some girlfriends and just chill to the thought of no kids running, crying, or screaming because their sleep and this glass of wine has gotten me through another day with some great food an

It’s that time of the year to tell that special lady “thank you” and “you have always been there for me” is coming up! To all the mothers out there biological or by some sort of chance placed in that role HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!! You have given birth, raise children even if they are not bilogically yours, cared for others and always kept a smile. You stand tall and battle the early mornings as well as the late nights, still smile and keep yourself together. You may have a glass of wine when the children are sleep and say “What the hell is really going on?” You may give your cares, worries and cries to your spiritual areas, but one thing for sure is GIRLFRIEND YOU ROCK!! Thank you for those who took the role of mother...... and have shed your wisdome, love and prayers on us to keep the cycle going.   This is your time to honor your beauty and have your choice of martinis because you have definitely earned it. Love Beauty

 Women have endured and still endured life in so many ways, i believe we have lost count. However, the femist stance has begun to show notice in the perfections of women. Celebrities have shown the feminist role from Beyonce, Emma Watson, Alicia Keys and Angelina Jolie to men such as Ashton Kutcher, Ryan Gosling, Prince Harry, and Will Smith. These celebrites have detailed in numerous ways the presence of a woman as well what women really mean the the world. “Who run the world... girls” Beyonce said it best. Her song Run the World has been the theme anthem for women eveywhere. I understand there are countries still  this day who are still fighting for their rights. The U.S. has came a long way but is still behind in the respect and honor of a woman. Political debates have brought some choice of word on the female gender, but still women make the world go round. The intimidation of a woman can lead to violence, derogatory words and a spotlight we will never get rid of. As a woman, I

Spring brings rebirth, freedom, bright and beautiful colors, flowing dresses and cute sandals!!! FINALLY!!! Winter has gone and the sun is shining brighter than yesterday!!! Those months of hiding our toes, limited pedicures and stuff boots...OMG! It is time to rise Ladies & Gentlemen, bring out those neglected fingers and feet and LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE......HALLELUJAH!!!! Spring brings out the various but gorgeous maxi dress, cute sandals, pedicures and fresh nail polish. When you think of springtime the options are endless, mind blowing and most of all BEING FREE!!! The spring colors will consist of pinks, yellows, blue and my favorite white walking up and down the streets well turn heads and catch many eyes looking in your direction. A pedicure with fresh bright paint that shines as the sun beams from every angle is always a must when bringing in the spring season. Some do not like bright colors and that is fine, try using a cotton candy or a shiny clear

Have you ever set and thought about the kind of drink you are? Really, when you go out and order at the bar are you sure on your drink, still deciding on a drink, playing it safe, playing it on funds or are you open to something new? Do your drink preference match your fashion style? Let's say you are a mimosa type of drinker, a little bubbly and soft with a lot of citrus flavor that is just enough to enjoy the social scene. Now for the fruity, but with a kick drinks for example, levels with Hennessy or Crown Royal or Jack Daniels consist of strawberry or grenadine on the bottom level, pineapple juice in the middle, blue curacao on the top level and either a shot of brown whisky or cognac on the side or the top of the drink. This drink gives adventure, flavor, and a kick to start off your evening right. The traditional style of drink such as crown and coke, vodka and cranberry are strong, assertive, no need for change. They like what they like and nothing can change t

Today's fashion time frame has changed over the years. Some have resurfaced (I have no idea why...Lol), but some for the good and for the bad.  Let’s discuss why realistically fashion should be monitored and spoke about. People allow themselves to just go with what is out in the fashion scene instead of being realistic about their, bodies, their level of comfortable and their confidence. 1. First rule of thumb, DON'T criticize or damage person self-esteem. There are ways in helping someone without destroying them. 2.  DO wear whatever you want. Explore your inner fashionista; express yourself through your clothing. 3. DON'T be afraid to break some fashion rules: Let's make it clear, NONE should never be afraid to express themselves, but lets also keep in mind and be honest with ourselves on why the expression is needed. 4. DO wear patterns such as lines, stripes, dots horizontally and vertically. 5. DON'T let fear stop you from making bold decisions

Let's be real... Men perspective on grooming is different than women. For example, for some men, manicures and pedicures are not really a MAN’s thing…...well hate to be the barrier of bad (but good) news, but fellas but you are so wrong!!! Women love seeing a well kept up man. We love seeing men keep themselves groomed from the top of their head to the sole of  their feet (this includes hair and clothing). Also,  let's not forget the smell of a man's cologne; it can drive us crazy. The popular items spoken on are the famous sweat pants, tattoos, piercings and beards, which are nice, but a well dressed man coming down the street, will catch many women’s attention quicker than the likes of a Instagram model.  WOMEN LIKE THIS (really we do) Men, weekly standing appointments are great to have. Men should care for themselves in the same manner that they want their women too.   I think men should keep in mind that the way they view women and what attrac
