Stand up 4 Yoself & Stop Pleasing Others!

Why is everyone so obssesed with fitting in with everyone else? Why are people walking around trying to be someone they're not? The Lord created each and everyone of us with different talents, skills, personalities and tastes. That's why we are "individuals" because we each have our own way of living, seeing things, different opinions, etc. Women walk around dressed as sluts, when first of all, that shit ain't cute honey. Second, we can clearly see by the way you walk and the look in your face that this isn't you, so why dress like this? Because everyone else does? So then...you're a follower. People claim themselves to be REAL and say that they do what they want and what feels right for them...LIES! We all need to start by taking a good, long look in the mirror and not only define but discover who is that looking back at us. If you're a young female that likes to wear ties, buttoned-up shirts while everyone else wears dresses, girl you better get out there and rock them ties! Be you. If you're a boy that listens to NICKI MINAJ while all of the other guys listen to Jay-Z, well dude start blasting "Moment 4 Life" Be you. I hate when someone says " I love this book!" and someone else responds,"You do? You whack ass hell" Why? because they read something you don't? or is it because you can't read? LOL. Diversity, variety, creativity, individualism, and uniqueness are all crucial variables in our society. I love being different. It simply doesn't face me. I've learned that folks will always talk about you. If you're a millionaire, that runs an empire, and you're living your dream, folks will talk about that, " I bet you he did some illegal things to get there", now another scenario. You're dirt-poor, you live on your week-to-week pay check and you can barely make ends meet, "see, she should've got herself together a long time ago, now she a failure." Moral of the story..? You can't please everyone. My favorite Nicki Minaj quote is this:" I'll never be able to please everyone, I've come to terms with that. And that in itself has been my greatest lesson to date"...This is why I love her! Have you seen her style? Unusual, yes, but is her style. I have half of my head shaved, I have piercings, tattoos, I dress in vibrant colors, I love playing dress up and I barely follow the dress code. I'm ME! I'm Karellys. I made up an alter ego "REGINA" because she's another side of me. I feel  that I  have enough creativity, personality, imagination and inspiration for 2 people rather than just Karellys, so there's Karellys and Regina. People can say what they want, look all they want, but at the end of the day I'm real to me, I keep it real with everyone else and people will always know who I am. I wear make-up but I don't hide behind it. I love clothes and dressing up but my personality has a lot more layers, and there's more to me than meets the eye. Stop being everyone else's idea of who you should be, and start being who YOU want to be! Stand up for yourself and for what you believe in!!!! Make whacky faces if you feel like it and wear neon shoes if ya need to, I mean I do!
                                                    XOXO, Karellys-Regina! =)

Please sign! Help veto the "KILL THE GAYS" bill in Uganda!

Dear Friend,
I just signed a petition demanding that Ugandan President Musevini veto the "Kill The Gays" bill should it be passed in Parliament.
We just learned the “kill the gays” bill - a death sentence for LGBT people in Uganda - could come up for a vote in the next 48 hours if we don’t act now.
Conservative leaders are trying hard to push the bill forward before the millions like us who oppose it have a chance to speak out.  If we can create a massive international outcry, theres a chance to stop this bill from becoming law.
This hateful bill appears to be a political diversion, a way to distract from the legitimate grievances of pro-democracy activists, who have been beaten, teargassed, jailed, and even killed in recent weeks.
There are only days left to make sure your voice is heard.  Will you join me in demanding the Ugandan President Musevini veto the "Kill The Gays" bill should it be passed in Parliament?  Sign and share this urgent petition:

 Thanks!

I Have My Own Line Of Jewelry NOW! LOOK!!!

Times are hard, we all need money and coming up with ideas to make some extra money is a MUST! (As long as is legal!) LOL. A couple of months ago my roommate and I started to think: " What can we do to make extra money? Floral arrangements? No. Baking cakes and cupcakes and deliver them? No. So, how about jewelry? YES! We both love bracelets, rings, earrings, necklaces! So, Here It Is! Surprisingly though we've made a good profit! We're thinking of a name for the line!

What Does My Mother Mean To Me...?

What does my mother mean to me? My mother means everything to me. Just the fact that she carried me in her stomach for 9 months is enough for me to love her! Since October 13th, 1989 she has put up with me, yeah i said put up because i'm not easy to deal with. My mother is that person that i can argue with, fight with, disagree on so many things with, but at the end of the day i can still walk up to her, kiss her and she'll give me the warmest, tighest and most welcoming embrace.  My mother isn't perfect, in fact she's far from that, but she's perfect to me. She's a woman that has been able to raise 3 children on her own, through thick and thin, my mother has been there for me, and my brothers. My mother accepts me, she doesn't agree with half of the things i do, but she never judges my decisions and always stands behind me to catch me if i fall. Life takes us down certain paths that make us want to give up and at times turn our backs on our family and friends. I've done that, i've felt that no one was listening to me, that no one saw me, but in all actuality my mom was there. She saw me struggling and knew i was hurting, i just didn't like what i was hearing from her and therefore i felt alone, and ignored. For every mistake that i have ever made, my mother has not only forgiven me for each one but she's pushed me beyond my limit to right my wrongs and stay on the right path. I love my mother. I love her further more than i can express or say. She's everything for me and to me. I don't tell her enough, i really don't, maybe because at times i'm more caught up with other things and i allow myself to be busy with everything and everyone else instead of spending time with her, telling her that i love her, that i'm forever thankful for her sacrifices and all the hard work she's put in to raise me and my brothers. To everyone whose mom is close by, love her, hug her, kiss her, cry with her, laugh with her and never stop. Those of you whose moms are away, call her, text her or write to her. Mother's day shouldn't be the only day that we express ourselves to our mothers. Mom, I love you, I need you to always, always know that and never forget it. I don't have the luxury of living with my mother and is not often that I see her, but there isn't a day and GOD is my witness, that I stop thinking about my mother. To wrap it up, Friday night I went to a funeral, a close family friend lost her mother and i can only imagine the deep sorrow and immense pain she must be in not only today but the rest of her life. I would die if my mother were to be taken away from me. Love your mom, accept her with her faults and flaws because is those same flaws that make her that much more beautiful!!! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!
