Keep It 100 Girl!

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me. What did he give me? He have me one emoji and a eggplant. Text-spec-tations is the anticipation and disappointment of texts or sexts.

What happened to facial expressions, the tone of his/her voice, or just to see the look someone's face light up. This episode represents how women think when it comes to sending and receiving texts.    HUFFINGTON POST ARTICLES Click here Click here   The Friggin Truth.

Nevertheless, end result is … I am a new person. Seriously, a new person. This is the first year in like 10 years where I only took one vacation and you know what? It killed me. My spirit. My mental.

Always take the scenic route in life. I've already bookmarked my next trips in 2017. If you were meant to stay in one place you'd have roots instead of feet. Don't live the same year and call it a life. That's my keep it 100 moment for this week.

Nina's keep it 100 opinion on long distance relationships is they are a total time waster. This endorphin-like swirl of estrogen and testosterone fizzle out over time and never work. If you don't put in the work, it dies on a vine.   We're talking about long distance relationship cuffs. This is where you clock an intentional frequent flier relationship miles. You both are shacking up and boo'd up for a reason or a season. It's a huge step down, down, down, leading to disappointment and, eventually, emptier pockets. In this episode, you will hear both sides from women. Why it worked and why it's should be avoided. Girlienation says long distance relationships require trust, a lot of work and commitment, referred to as booty calls, and LDRs are easier because you only see each other once in awhile.  Join the Conversation Do you have a question or comment about these long distance relationships? Share them on Twitter, IG, or Keep it 100 Girl Facebook Page.    Contact Me Let me know you listened.

Today's episode has to do with women not asking the right questions while we're in a relationship. I am going to shade you women on not asking the right questions in relationships, dating, or marriage. These are the headscratching questions to determine what we want, but we're dickmotized.    These women admitted to either hate to ask, failed to ask, or table these questions. As a result, ended up in failed relationships and marriage. These are the conversations to start having from day one. At the end of the day, if a man really wants you, these questions won't scare him off.    YOUR CHEAT SHEET   FREE sample of soft and hard questions to ask here: http://bit.ly/KI100ep61    TARGET SHOPPING LINK Take advantage of this week's sales here: http://goto.target.com/c/210735/81938/2092   HUFFINGTON POST ARTICLE Click here   The Friggin Truth.

What Minority America is thinking? A lot of us are not ready to make nice just yet, but the good thing is we've formed stronger alliances among each other with trying to stay positive and seeing what positive things can come from this transition of government.  We shouldn't be laughing either while Trump is he's bringing his circus in the ring. He needs make people feel comfortable who felt and continue to feel uncomfortable. Its hard to be excited about our futures. it really is.  We have to heal now or start. We are more deeply divided more than ever. Trump is President. We all equal in rights and dignity. Cherish our minority values Trump and your team and those 52% defend them. That will make your America great again. This orange is your new black.

You're gonna laugh or shake your damn head about my unapologetically edgy self. It's ok. These are the types of discussions you would have with your own inner circle of friends over din din and drinks, on the couch, via text, or on the phone. The point of it all is we have fun. Today's topic is about ManKarma. Do you hear me? It's man + karma. Which have two distinct meanings, but combined it's a story.    The one thing you should know and remember is that ManKarma has no deadline and doesn't forget your number. They always come back and feel no how about it. You gotta make them talk to the hand. Now nobody wants him or her. You know why? You lied. You weren't truthful. You talk out of both sides of your mouth. You break hearts. And all you wanted was ass and you got it   Let me set the scene with the truth serum. This applies mostly to women in their 30s or any women who has racked up at least 2-3 exes under their belt. Then as you get older you get dudes coming out of left field, right field. This is

The L-bomb experience. The I love you words and when they are uttered for the first time.   We would all agree it's a sacred moment (especially for women) we've all said it at least once at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons, and wish we can press rewind and take it back.   Was there a time you felt scared embarrassed into it, it accidentally slipped, and as a result had an awkward F2F moment you couldn't take back because it didn't feel real.    Me too.   Do you even care or take into consideration the GPS coordinates of where he says I love you for the first time? Well, these girls share the opinions and experiences.

Relationship or boyfriend weight is reeeeeal.  It's a mix of enjoying eating together, cuddling instead of exercising, and not trying to impress each other anymore. The Fall and winter seasons are a notorious for relationship weight because you're boo'd up, shacking up, wanting comfort food. It's never ending grocery season. Everyone renews their Netflix, HBO, Sports Channels, and HULU accounts. I think it's a total badge of honor for the guys especially when it comes to their women looking healthy. It's not until you break up you realize what have I done? Am I wrong?
