Something NEW...

I know what you all are going to say, She's so off an on with this blogging thing and your right and I'm sorry. But tonight I just feel, I don't know INSPIRED in a way. I had my first convo with my future EX boyfriend LOL and he told me he read my blog. I'm thinking the blog I haven't posted on in months, just great... But after a pretty neat conversation, I couldn't help but smile I'm sort of PROUD OF MYSELF IN A SENSE, because I'm exploring something NEW... So I wanted to take the time out to tell you all to never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, if you see it and you want it, go out and get it. If your shy be bold get loud, If your a jeans girl put on a mini dress, Fellas if your into Jay-Z try Common :) You never know what that something new might feel like. I'M open to where ever this journey may be taking me. Y'all just better hope I bring y'all along for the ride... Until my next post, HAVE FUN & TRY SOMETHING NEW...

And So I Creep...

Dear Leah Janell,
My current relationship with my beau of three years has going sour, he just isn't who he use to be. In order to save face with my family & friends I'm hanging in there just trying to make things work. But to make my load lighter I gained a friend on the side. For starters AM I WRONG FOR WANTING TO HAVE A LIL FUN OUTSIDE OF MY DEAD RELATIONSHIP. But here is where my problem gets uglier my SIDE FRIEND just broke the news to me that he has a girlfriend and to be honest I'M JEALOUS, he doesn't want to break things off with me but he thought it would be best for me to know... DO I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE JEALOUS OF HIS NEW FOUND LOVE...

OK lady allow me to be honest, open & down right straight forward... Your love life is only as bad as your making it... I say this because lets take relationship #1 first "Why have things gone sour in your relationship", "what has changed", "how long has this been going on" and "Lastly why are your friends & family so important that you feel the need to make them believe your happy in this situation" You need to ask yourself these questions. If you love your man whole heartedly then you need to open up to him and tell him what you need and if he cant provide that then walk away and keep the friendship. Do I think your wrong for having a side dude hmmm NOT AT ALL nine times out of ten a female is the reason for your mans shift in the relationship as well. But just look at it like this he's screwing her and you and your doing the side guy and he's doing his lady and we're all infected YES IT JUST THAT HEAVY... Jealously is a females trait you cant help how you feel but I would most certainly protect myself in this situation. If your just having fun do it on the safe side...

And remember these are just my thoughts, feel free to share yours...

Event Planning 101

This past weekend I attended a baby shower for a college friend and I must say it was upscale, amazing and nothing short of FAB. So here are a few do's for baby shower 101...

The Cupcake Tree has become the latest sensation at baby showers, I love the tree because it allows things to stay clean and neat and pretty much uniformed. DO the cupcake tree...

This was certainly a first for me I loved the miniature baby cradles throughout the venue they were very beautiful, extremely white and brought a sense of softness to the venue... Do the laced down miniature baby cradle.

It wasn't the souvenirs that I was impressed with but it was the tree that the souvenirS hung from that caught my eye. Having your host go around the shower pinning your guest is pretty old school allow them to grab a souvenir and pin themselves.

Several round tables, stand out colors and a view that is to die for... Gotta Love It

Every Queen deserves a throne and this young lady had hers decked out...

I was in love with the table full of sweets, large glass jars with spoons to scoop out your on candy FAB...

ASK LEAH JANELL

Here's another Ask Leah Janell from a young lady out of Brooklyn...

Hey Lady, I've been dealing with an issue for a while and I just wanted to get your opinion. I am one of the youngest people in my office and I am the only African American. My days are often so hectic that I have to have my lunch delivered into the office and I eat at my desk. I know this may sound crazy but do you think it is OK for me as an African American to eat Fried Chicken at my desk and furthermore do you think my co-workers will judge me.

While this is extremely comical its a pretty interesting question. For me I would say everyone loves chicken and no one should have to watch what they eat around their co workers especially in the middle of a hectic day. Here's my suggestion order some chicken that smells great that will even make their mouths water, and get boneless chicken that way you can use a fork and not have to lick your fingers. My bets are someone will most likely ask you where did you order from instead of judging the fact that your young, black and eating chicken. Best of Luck Lady

So whats your take?

ASK LEAH JANELL

I have received so many Ask Leah questions in the past few days so I am going to try my best to get to all of them... Today's Ask Leah comes from a young lady and her question reads...

Let's talk about sex (of course!) 25 and older... Are we beyond the point of "holding out". Are we old enough to be sexually liberated and not give a
middle finger up, or do people still judge?

Interesting question... For starters this is strictly geared to a 25 and older audience, there does come a point in our lives where sex begins to fill many voids, and we tend to call it being sexually liberated. First we have to recognize why all of a sudden we are eager to jump in a bed with a man and say no strings attached when all of our lives we were raised to believe that our body is sacred. LOL so fast how our morals are thrown out of the window because of a broken heart, stress at work, lack of appreciation in our current relationship or just because we don't feel good enough. I'm sorry to say lady but in 2009 friends are the biggest critics, I say this because as females watch other women blossom in their career fields, or watch them enjoy the blessings of motherhood, or witness their best friend jump the broom a sense of jealously well maybe insecurity comes over them. This is where being 25 goes wrong we're stuck between a rock and a hard place and the easiest thing to do is pass judgement on the friend that's having the time of her life whether she is the club hopper, the gold digger, the dream chaser, or the SEXUALLY LIBERATED. So to answer your question yes we have reached the peak of saying so what I'm gonna do me, but yet and still be careful who you tell for some are quick to judge...

Remember these are just my thoughts

ALREADY HOME...

I took the summer off from blogging to give myself some time to clear my mind, you know figure out my direction, I often questioned myself "what is my next step" everyone wants to get to the top but there isn't a manual for achieving success. So I spent the summer soul searching, adjusting my look, dating (of course) even taking a shot at using the word LOVE again. Needless to say I'M BACK.

Send any topics you'd like me to discuss to Elegant718@aol.com, as well as your questions for Ask Leah...

Will be in Touch
