On my last guest post, I introduced you to the wonderful world of Public Relations. Now, let me take it a step further and introduce you to the different areas of Public Relations. PR is a very broad field and while the overall results deal with image and money, there is a process to get there! Research, Media Relations, Social Media and Writing all play supporting roles in Public Relations.

What Is Public Relations Anyway?

What Are You Willing To Sacrifice For Your Dreams?

Pole dancing has such a negative connotation associated with it.  Frequently, pole and stripper are synonymous with each other.  However, more and more women are turning to this contentious form of art for fun and fitness.  Art? Absolutely!  It’s all about your perception and interpretation.  Classes are being offered nationwide, “pole dance workout.”  Want to spice up your workout routine, this is definitely an option.  Can you imagine the muscles that are being used to pole dance?  Geesh, I bet your eyebrows hurt after doing it!!!  Thinking about it makes my abs tight.  After watching this clip, which I thought was done tastefully, all I could do was SMH (shake my head).  As the song states, “you could only hope for this.”  Hope?  Heck, I WISH!

Staying Fit with Quick Summer Workouts

What are your thoughts on pole dancing?  Would you do it?  I absolutely would either in the privacy of my home or even in a class setting.  Approach with an open mind folks.

Are you an entrepreneur, business owner, artist ect. and constantly hear the words, you need Public Relations, but have no idea what it means? Well, join the club. Research shows that half of America have a misconception of PR. They think it is all about writing a press release, when in fact, it is a process and all about strategy. You often hear Public Relations mentioned in movies and TV shows such as Young and Restless, but do you have any idea what it involves? If not, no worries because I'm here to save the day! I consider myself a Public Relations guru. I like to explain Public Relations in two words, image and money! How well a product or service sells is determined by how the company of that product or service is perceived in the public. PR practitioners work non stop to make sure your company or organization has and maintains a positive image throughout the media and community.

All the fashion magazines and blogs will tell you “neon is in” this summer, but how on earth are you supposed to pull it off? It’s not like you can just throw on a neon cardigan and call it a day. Incorporating bright colors into your wardrobe and beauty routine may take some effort, but here are a few suggestions to get you started.

1.     Pair it with black. An easy way to wear neon is to buy a few statement pieces and pair them with black. Black matches just about everything and you can use items you already have instead of having to buy a whole new wardrobe around your neon pieces.

2.     Pair it with neutrals. This is an unusual look that some people won’t understand, but we promise you will look fabulous. Take a bold neon top and pair it with a khaki skirt for a laid back look that everyone will envy.

’Im quite the “make-up” fiend and I do believe that a new shade of lipstick gives you a new lease on life, so I figure why not share all the tricks I’ve learned along the way by trial and error, some I’ve read before and some I’ve given my own spin, hope they prove useful for your own beauty regimen.

• I’ve always read that you curl the lashes with the curler, then apply two coats of mascara for popping and alluring eyes, well my spin has proven to be more effective…I say, apply the two coats of mascara, let it dry for a few seconds then curl the lash pressing the curler for about 2 seconds, usually one press works but if you want even more long and voluminous looking lashes you can go for a second press and a third coat of mascara, try it! Let me know if it works for you.

Right away many of your minds went straight to the bedroom. I can list a ton of things that can turn me on that may EVENTUALLY lead to the bedroom but it doesn't always start there. I find it to be such a turn on when my husband takes the time to prepare a meal for our family. I'm not talking about ordering pizza. I'm talking about banging pots and pans together, chopping onions, taking the time to go to the store and doing the grocery, prepping the salad and arranging a bouquet of flowers for the final touch. NOW THAT'S A TURN ON. 

What about giving my boys a bath, getting them ready for bed, reading them a story and then praying with them. NOW THAT'S A TURN ON. 

I love date night when he opens all doors, pulls out the chair, preps my napkin, occasionally looks at me across the table and tells me how beautiful I am, walks on the side closet to the street while holding my hand. NOW THAT'S A TURN ON. 

 Have you ever experienced a little hardship during the week, nothing big but enough to cause a small struggle between the two you’s.  Yes, the two you’s. We use to call them the good angel and the bad angel until we became older and realized that there is a struggle of two personalities inside of us, for some, there may be more. I have two people.   Diana is the person sure of her purpose, understands where she is headed and executes plans to get us there.  Dionna is the person who as soon as a bump in the road is very quick to ask the questions, "Why are we here?" "Why cant we just go back to what we know?" "Why didn't you listen to me and just play it safe?"  "Can we go now?"  Her voice just becomes so annoying and aggravating that it starts the fight between the two.  At times, although I have gotten better, I find myself trying to rationalize the points between the two arguments.  This then gets my emotions involved causing me to become tired and wanting to shut down from both voices. I know you understand exactly what I am talking about.
