Such thinking causes us to go higher and our beliefs are centered on a spiritual level, even when we fall into sin, as we try to change and improve. The good news is, God is always with us.

When you think Tyra Beauty, how could you not think Supermodels and High Fashion right? The word model implies beautiful, even if it's like Tyra says...eccentric or odd. Always remember, being beautiful does not always have to fit into Hollywoids or Western Standards of beauty. Even with model power behind her Tyra Beauty Brand, Tyra has to keep up with the likes of K Beauty and the Ka'iors of the world. Here's a look at a few products available at Ulta Beauty, a store I visit on occasion.

Meanwhile, there is another Trump being noticed. It's Ivanka Trump, Donald's perky daughter. Though her name keeps reminding me of the Taaka Vodka Brand, as I slightly chuckle at the idea of how odd that really is, I have to respect her grind. On her Blog,...

For some reason, every time I hear Saturday Night Live (SNL) I think about Eddie Murphy, his distinctive laugh, and watching him showing off his range, as an actor comedian. Though I was only a youngster at the time, it had a very profound impact on the way I started to see Black Men in the world. Murphy's ability to stay in character helped to solidify his Celebrity Status early on and his legacy was clear from start. He had it, SNL knew it and so did everyone else.

The are many women and men who may notice that their brows are not as full or thick as they could be. Though this may be something that seems harmless, the lack of Brow fullness can change your facial presence. Despite what you may think, you do not have to go hairless and resort to drawing in your brows with an eyebrow pencil. There are quite a few alternatives that can be used to get Beverly Hills looking brows.

We hear a lot of information about living a healthy lifestyle but what it actually means to each of us as individuals may be very different, depending on what food we like or those we consider to be healthy. Still, we need to have a point of focus, a starting point. Next, we must implement our plans of actions so that we can actually live healthier and happier lives. Though we all may have different approaches, usually diet and exercise are ideal starting points for healthier lifestyles.

What are our Disney Characters coming to? For Toddy Rockstarr, as he calls himself, they are coming to the dance floor and also showing up in creative courtroom style videos. Watch The Video.

Exploration can take you to many places. You don't have to hop on a bus, train, or plane to experience it either. Books on tape are an extraordinary tool, if you decide to take the shortcut with reading.

There are so many different ways to prepare fish that are much healthier than the deep fried method, so it wouldn't be fair not to a least encourage our readers to consider grilling or baking. Grilling fish is the way you want to go, if you want to finish with something that is jam packed with flavor. I love grilled fish with lots of seasoning like green peppers, garlic, and red onions. Yummy! Baking fish is also great, but you have to be very careful to watch out for dryness during prepara...

Being catagorized as a plus size woman when you are a size 12 is not acceptable to some women. It bothers them to be called plus sized, but plus is just a label.

It seems that there are major issues in the air that concern the allocation of funds. As if that surprises anyone right? Realizing that no one person or side for that matter can solve problems alone (or at least without cooperation) is a start. Presenting a plan or ideas in conference that opens the door to discussion is what will lead to a solution eventually, or a valid attempt to fix something that appears to be broken. Within the political realm it's always about creating a stable workabl...

The food choices we make are important not only for the obvious reason of weight management but proper nourishment. An unhealthy diet that is high in fat, high in sugar, and low in fiber is like a gateway diet that makes a person more likely to develop Type II Diabetes. Genetics plays more of a role when considering obesity as a factor causing the disease. Type I Diabetes usually occurs during puberty, but it can also happen at any age. Genetics plays less of a role as far as the disease pro...

We were able to get our hands on a few good shots of a couple of the International Jury Members and also some head shots of a few who we certainly wished we had photographs of on the Red Carpet. Nonetheless, we do realize that it is always fun to dress up for a night on the town so imagine how over joyed you would feel, if you were going to a ceremony full of talented people. Large and in charge is an understatement. How sure do these VIP's look alll done up from head to toe? Let me show you ...

Love over the loud outbursts coming from your boyfriend is the phrase you keep repeating to yourself every time he has another episode. There are disagreements, arguments and just times when your partner points out everything he sees wrong with you. What about you and how do you find your peace of mind? How do you avoid the confrontation when he is singling you out? Providing a platform to allow him to express himself is key.

Leaving a legacy is very important for most of us. Our accomplishment, beliefs, and our contributions to society serve as a reminder of the impact we have on others.

"The eyes are the window to the soul" now has become a part of the lyrics to a song called eyes from the artist Kaskade. Contemplating on that powerful statement is really a search for deeper meaning in the absence of language. Finding meaning when eyes meet and looking for a non-stated message means expecting communication to happen on another level. Think about these senarios. A mother looking into the eyes of her child at age 21. The moment your clear vision returns after an eye examinatio...

It's an Asian persuasion, but do I have to convince you to think in terms of the unfamiliar language of the stars who sound a little different from you? The creative voices sound to the tune of Band Baaja Baaraat. Confused? English is something close meaning Bands Horns and Revelry. Not to much of a lesson but certainly a little clarity. The movie was released in December of 2010 and is now nominated at this years Asian Pacific Screen Awards. Take a look at Senator Chris Dodd delivering the k...

Sweet Potatoes are tasty vegetables, and thanks to our great Agricultural Chemist George Washington Carver, we can enjoy eating these vegetables while feeling a great sense of pride. Pumpkins are no match for Sweet Pota...

There's nothng like a movie that takes you back to the place where your imagination has room to build its own world. A place in your mind that plays out scenes that serve as a mirror to your thoughts or a reflection of something similar. Immortals promises lots of adventure. The places you travel to as you watch this film will remind you of Greek Methodology. Total movie madness, as the villain meets the hero, rampage and courage clash. Meet the King Hyperion and his adversary Thesus.

The singer apparently believes that the single life is not cool. Does she somehow equate going stag with being alone?

Well there are a great number of people who will tell you that everyone has a twin. Not a biological twin but a stranger look alike walking around on the street just may be your mirrored reflection. I have all to many times myself seen people who I have mistaken for someone I know because of the striking resemblance. True or not, it kind of makes you wonder in an eerie kind of way. Take a look at these cute look alike kids. They are not twins but look very similar.

There is a creative platform for everyone to shine. Now the political muscle is playing out on Washington Week in favor of Newt Gingrich. Gwen IFill sits around table with Jean Cummings, Joan Biskupic, Lori Montegomery, and Major Garrett. We are always looking to the Washington Week Panelists to indulge in their big personalities, latest news, and broad opinions. Here's more of the Abornewords formulation of the conversation on

Immortals the movie is here. Response and reaction at first glance from the Abornewords camp was not hard to make. Looking only at the Teaser Art, we thought of Braveheart, fighting, and fire. Check out what I mean and see for yourself.
This is just a glimpse of what's to come in our post, but it should keep you warm until we spill that real fire. We will be unfolding more in future post about the movie, cast, and other details of interest. Oh and mo...

Lifestyles of the rich and famous may interest you if you are into the glitz and glam of the boomerang lifestyle. The fast lane living and expensive toys are the surface goodies that often make our eyes pop. Who can help but look right? That very lifestyle has many average citizens questioning their decisions in love too. For the stars relationships sometimes end before they have a chance to develop. Saying I do and making it last seems rash if you consider many celebrity marriages that end s...

Diamonds can be a girls best friend, and if you really decide to take it upon yourself to embrace such an attitude, I say go right ahead. I won't present you with directions to the nearest Tiffany's or Zales, but I will advise you to check out a book that will take you on an unbelievable ride. Bling from the author Erica Kennedy tells a fictitious story of the in's and outs of the music business.

Triggerz Got No Heart is the Debut Release of New Orleans Artist Nice Gunz featuring Rapper BTY Young'N and a tribute song called Feel Like Boosie. This release gives fans of that New Orleans sound a chance to experience true hood word play and the creative expression of a real Uptown Dude who grew up in the inner city of New Orleans and found a way to express his real life issues while putting fans up on that real. It's what's still hot and always relevent. It's ten songs of that banger music!
