Girl Talk: Being a Boss
I have so many titles! Mom, Girlfriend, Sergeant, CEO, Supervisor, and the list goes on. I talk to a lot of women who have a problem with being "The Boss". It is not easy and it comes with it's fair share of complications, but if handled and maintained correctly, it's all work it. So below are some tips to being in charge!
-Stay humble! Nobody likes a cocky or arrogant boss. There is a fine line between confidence and cockiness. Work hard to find that balance to gain respect and maintain it.
-Stand your ground. As a woman, you will be challenged just because you are woman sometimes, because men may not want to follow and woman may want to challenge you. Learn to pick your battles and when you do, GO TO WAR!
-Be confident!!! You didn't get where you are for no reason. A seemingly weak boss is a sad sight to see, so put your big girl drawers on and go for gold!
-Be Self-motivated. It is so easy to say my kids motivate me or money or whatever, but being motivated because you want to please yourself is key. At anytime, your situation could change and hard times could come, so you have too have the ability to pull through FOR YOU!
-Learn to take cultism. It may be hard, but getting feedback, honest feedback from subordinates and such is key to making sure you that you progress and get better!
-Look the part!! When it comes to looking good, its not always about you look but its more about how you feel when you look good and how people perceive you. When you look out of whack, your people can tell so make it your business to be as sharp psychically as you are mentally.
I hope these tips help!!! #SALUTE
Emily B's Fitted Fetish!

Tattoos and snapbacks! The hat and red lip is a new favorite of mine. This is my new go to look when I have to run out of the house to run errands or when I want to be sexy and look done up even while being casual. Throw on some leggings, my favorite sneakers, a fitted, minimal makeup, and that signature red lip and it's a wrap. Ready to run and I must say my boyfriend thinks it's super sexy!!

Beez Trendy Treasures Black Eyelet Bag $65.50 |
I love bags!!! OMG! So investing in a nice bag has never been out of the question, but spending hundreds of dollars on no traditional seasonal bags is something I try not to do for my budgets sake. This is a perfect example of why not! I can spend $65 vesus $350 bag that is not going to be worn on the regular is SO awesome to me. With so much fashion and so many choices, it feels good to save a buck and be able to get a plethora of options!

Trend Alert!
New Ear Cuff now available at http://www.beeztrendytreasures.com/ $20
One of the latest fashion trends is body jewelry...all over the body that is. Ear cuffs have been spotted all over red carpets and beaches rocked by some of hollywood's heavy hitters. With all different styles and types, every fashionista should be able to work this trend into their summer fashion to do list!
Kelly's Shoe Candy!
Kelly Rolland was recently spotted backstage at the 107.9 Birthday Bash 17 at Philips Arena in Atlanta wearing these fierce and flirting heels. Although they are a spurge for the everyday frugalnista, retailing at $875, they are too cute!
Beauty Find
Most of us who wear makeup already know that skin care is of the most importance. I have heard about at home spa tools, so I went ahead and invested in one of my own. At $119, I would have to say the Clarisonic is worth every penny! There is nothing like the feeling when you can tell your face is CLEAN! This product should not be used everytime you wash your face. Most dermatologists recommend exfoliation 2-3 times a week. This product can be found at Sephora. Overall I give this product a A.
Fashion Do or Don't Ever Again???
Rihanna is known for her super free spirited and high fashion style. She was snaped wearing these $320 KTZ by Linda Farrow Project. What do you think about these?
Christina's High Pony!
Christina Milian was spotted at Film Independent’s 2012 Los Angeles Film Festival premiere of Disney Pixar’s Brave in Hollywood smiling cool with this simple and sytlish ponytail. You are sure to stay cool and sytlish with this look!
Face of The Day!
My favorite, of course would have to be MAC's pink lipstick, which retails for $14.50!http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/310/Lipstick/index.tmpl |
Splurge or Save??
Trend Alert!
Short sets aren't just for toddlers anymore! Celebrities including our beloved Queen Bey have been seen cooling in this monochromatic two piece get ups all over. This look is an easy and effortless winner. By adding accessories and a killer shoe, you cant go wrong with this one.
Where is Kimmy??
So I am a fan of Kim Kardashion, BUT WAIT before you start throwing tomatoes!! Although she is not the most loved celeb and she is known for her media whoredom...she is STILL a bonafide hustler and fashionista...that is until Kanye came into the picture!! Is it me or has anyone else notice that our favorite celeb on the go is dressing it WAY down now! Her whole look as transformed and she is sorta reminding me of Sharon Stone is Basic Instinct! I'm so over it!! I want the old Kim back!!!

Dear Ms How do I stay fly on a budget,
This must be the most asked question by all women right now because whether you are making the big bucks or going to work at McDonalds most of us ladies have some type of budget! So to be fly or to be broke does NOT have to be the question. Spending a little money on those must have pieces is a must for a diva on a budget. If you really want thos e Jeffery Campbell Litas for $160 go for it because you will get alot of wear out of them and they are a nice statement piece. When it comes to your basics, those are the things you can skimp on a little without ever taking the chance on looking cheap. Finding a way to streamline your basic pieces and get longevity out of them are also very important. A few tips on how to avoid looking cheap and saving money...1. pay attention to fabrics, if it cost $5 and it feels like it costs $5 you might want to pass! There is nothing worse that ruining a nice look with one cheap piece that looks out of place. 2. Second hand shopping is okay!! It took me awhile to catch on but its AWESOME you can find some of your best pieces that way. This will also ensure that you have pieces that you know aren't going to be in the next chic's closet. 3.Realize what you are paying for...a name, comfort, fit...Ive seen label whores who look a HOT MESS!! And we all know an expensive hot mess does not look any better than a cheap hot mess! As a woman we all deserve to treat ourselves sometime so work your shopping habit into your budget and try your hardest to avoid impulse buys!!

Get The Look!
So many people asked about this look!!! Well here is a quick break down...The dress I got from my online boutique which is now sold out. This dress can be substituted with any flattering black and white striped dress. The pattern is perfect for hiding any midsection imperfections, which was exactly my reason for choosing this dress seeing that I had gave birth to my baby girl just 4 weeks prior to this shoot!!

Dear I cant find my size in jeans,
Most of us ladies with a nice booty, curves, and then some have this issue! So whats to do? First off, investing in some nice quality jeans that may cost a bit but it is WELL worth it even if the fit is off a little. If you suffer from the gap in the back or the pulling due to being a little "hippy" a seamstress can be your BESTFRIEND and surprisingly alterations can be VERY cheap!! Also stop fretting over the size and concentrate on the FIT!! If you gotta hit the plus size section then so be it! When you pants fit properly they can actually have a slimming affect versus the sardines stuffed in a can look!! Embrace your curves hunny...shoot beyonce does!!!
