Animal Print Has Always Been In Style, You Better Get Yours!

Animal Print Has Always Been In Style, You Better Get yours.


There is no secret that I have always loved animal print. I love how you can bring out a very plain outfit and make it fun and exciting.

This coat is perfect to put on top of an all-black outfit or even a bright red color if you want to be daring and really stand-out.

They say that animal print is a new neutral but I say that animal print is a staple that needs to be in your wardrobe.

This is a print that you can buy once and bring it back out year after year and these items can always be found in your local store but also at your local thrift store.

I saw an animal print vest at my last visit to my thrift store and I wish I had purchased it.  My favorite animal print item that I own is a pair of shoes that I have been wearing for years and it takes my outfits from boring to spicy.

If you are not a big animal print lover then you could add animal print accents such as belts, hats, gloves, boots, and handbags, that will give you a pop of animal print without being overwhelmed by it.

We have always heard the phrase " be a blessing" but a lot of us don't realize that we can take the smallest things to bless other people.  I have seen many people take good clothes and just toss them in the garbage because they are tired of them.

Do you realize that there are so many people who love to get those beautiful clothes that you are tired of so they can have a change of clothing to wear on a daily basis?

With all the natural disasters that we have been having, there are so many people who need clothes and you can do an online search to see what organizations that will take your clothes and do not sell them for profit.

It is nothing wrong with wanting to change your wardrobe and make sure that all the items that you donate are clean, without holes, and in good condition.

I am sure that you are going to go shopping after you have donated your used clothing and you will need some beautiful jewelry to go with all those tops and dresses that you are going to purchase, if you are interested you can go to this site and find rings, bracelets, and necklaces to bring your fabulous finds, out.

Do You Regret Buying A Moissanite Ring?

                                           Do You Regret Buying A Moissanite Ring?

This post contains affiliate links which means that I will receive a small commission if a purchase is made.

I have been looking into buying a Moissanite Ring for a while now.  Last week, I went to a national  Jewelry store chain, and I asked whether or not, they carried Moissanite and the salesperson said yes.

  I was so anxious to see this stone and she showed me a three-carat solitaire and it was so big and beautiful.

  I saw a lot of rainbows jumping out at me and she quoted me a price of three thousand dollars. I really like the sparkle of the ring but I did think that it was not the perfect alternative to a diamond for that price because it was a little too much color to be believable.

 I put it on my finger and it made me feel so wonderful to have it on.

The salesperson was pushing me extra hard to finance this ring and I told her no, I would have to take my time to decide whether this ring was for me.

 She then showed me one carat  Moissanite  and the size was more believable and she told me that this ring was one thousand dollars.

 This Moissanite still had a lot of rainbow color flashes, and I would say that it is wise to accept this stone for what it is and do not try to pass it as a diamond because there is a profound difference.

 Honestly, I think that I will still buy a Moissanite but I will not pay one thousand or three thousand dollars because I think that it is too much for this type of stone.

What the salesperson didn't know, I saw a one-carat Moissanite Solitaire Ring on eBay and it is being sold for $215.00.

  I was looking around in this Jewelry store to see what Moissanite really looked like and I have come to the conclusion, I will eventually buy a Moissanite but I refuse to pay retail for it.

Anyone, looking to buy this stone for an engagement ring, please check with the person you are buying it to see if they would be okay wearing this type of stone.  I personally would not go over a carat stone because the bigger it is, screams "I am fake."

If you are a person who likes extreme bling, then this ring would be for you, but, please see it in person to make your final decision.  When I purchase my ring, I will show it to you all.

The Best Place For Jewelry Is Hip Hop Bling ( It Doesn't Disappoint)

The best place for jewelry is Hip Hop Bling (It doesn't disappoint)


I did a review on this ring three years ago and the company is Hip Hop Bling.  This ring is so realistic and it has held up very well. I wear it on its own and also wear it with two diamond band rings and nobody can tell that this ring is not real.

I wanted to show you just how this ring still looks beautiful after all of these years and it is a company that you can trust.  You can see in this picture that the stones shine just like the real thing and the stones are set, they are not glued on.

Please go to my Youtube Channel Sashamoniquetalks to see the review https://www.youtube.com/user/SashaMoniqueTalks

You can see that I have the two diamond band rings on with the ring in this picture, it looks so pretty.
This post is not sponsored by Hip Hop Bling but I wanted to show you how this ring is holding up.

Good Hygiene And Dressing Well Are Very Important!


Hello, Ladies And Gentlemen.  I was out shopping yesterday and there were a lot of people standing around filling out job applications and also waiting to get a chance to talk to the store manager.

  I saw about twelve people.  One young man wore a very nice white shirt, black pants, and a tie.  You could tell that he was really enthusiastic about getting an interview and snagging a job.  

There was another young lady and she had a cute simple fit and flare dress and her hair was impeccably styled.

I then started to scan the room and I saw some people with shorts and t-shirts, run overshoes and some had sneakers on.  Two ladies look like they just got out of bed and came to fill out applications. 

Another lady had on a sparkly tank top and leggings and it was totally inappropriate. I can safely assume who got the job and who didn't.

  If you don't care enough about your appearance, you are not fit for employment.  It has nothing to do with finances because you can at least buy one outfit to wear to a job interview.

  This outfit can even come from a thrift store or ask someone that you know if they have a shirt and pants or a skirt and blouse that you can borrow.  

First appearances are very important and you will not get that chance again to impress that employer.

I am talking to the people who have been out of work for some time and may not have the money to buy an impressive outfit.

  Keep an open mind and you will find an outfit that is nice.  You can even wear this outfit for various interviews.

If you are looking for a job you must look like you are seeking one.

Yes, I Am An Eczema And Psoriasis Sufferer.

Yes, I Am An Eczema And Psoriasis Sufferer.

Hello, everyone, I have been suffering from Eczema and Psoriasis for a very long time, in fact, I have had it since birth.

  I have been on medications forever and still have no cure, so you learn to live with this disorder.  I have been trying different remedies and sometimes they work but the effect is never long-lasting.

From the image in the picture, it looks like I have been burned but it is actually going into the healing phase. 

 There is so much itching and what I have tried over the years are vinegar baths, bleach baths, and salt baths, it works for a little while to stop the itching. 

 I know that there are so many people dealing with Eczema and Psoriasis and there are many videos on this subject so I am going to share them with you.

It Doesn't Take A Disaster To Show Gratitude.

This morning I was thinking about gratitude and the fact that we have an opportunity to help and support each other. It doesn't and shouldn't take a disaster to help your fellow man.  Going to your local adult daycare center to share your skills with elderly men or women can be such a blessing.

Exchanging ideas with one another is free and if you see anyone who needs assistance and you know of any way they can get help, please share, don't hold back.  If you see a young mom and she doesn't have any money to buy milk or wash her clothes, slip a few bucks and a note under her door.

We don't have to wait for the government to come in to help with everything, it is plenty we can do. Some of us have become selfish as a society and many people who are needy are faced with judgment and you have to realize that one day you may need help yourself.

One thing you will find out after a disaster is that your job or your employment title doesn't mean anything.  Most of us are one step away from being homeless and it is really something to think about. No man is an island which means that you are vulnerable and you will surely need help from someone.

I hope that this post encourages someone who may be going through some obstacles that there will be someone with a caring heart and that help is on its way, and also to let you know that it doesn't take millions of dollars to show gratitude to someone else.  You can be a candle in darkness!

Are We Spending To Much Time On Our Phones???

Office, Freelancer, Computer, Business

I take Mass Transit and most of the day I see people walking and riding the bus texting or talking on their phone.  We are walking the streets without paying attention and it is causing a danger to ourselves and also others.

 Everywhere I go I see people texting on the job or looking at their social media pages while at work and this will cause you to not focus on the task at hand.

  Many times I had to return to a business office to find out why the information was left out and most of the time it was because someone was acting carelessly.

I believe it should be mandatory not to use your phone during work hours unless it is an emergency. Productivity in this country has lapsed because people stay on social media gossiping all day.

If it isn't that important you should not be on the phone.

Below, you will see examples of people walking and not paying attention and it resulted in an accident.
