10 days of My Birthday!

Well technically I have been counting since Nov 1st lol, my bday MONTH! just joking. Anyways, theres 10 days til my birthday, 9 days in about an hour. People always ask me what I want, what do I like etc. First and foremost, I rarely get alot of gifts, a few if Im lucky so I appreciate it when it does come. Here is the funny part about what I like and It is very twisted! I LOVE gift cards! Why is this twisted? Because I REFUSE to give them as a gift lol. I feel that shows my lack of thought as a friend, like I dont know you well enough to buy you a gift. But those who know ME, know i love getting gift cards! Dumb huh? Anyways , what places do I like? Heres where you learn a lil sumthn' about me :)

-Starbucks
-Sephora
-Macys
-Gas GiftCard
-Sunglass Hut
-Any food place
-Walmart
-Best Buy
-Spencers
-Apple

NONE of those places are related, but just proves how complicated I am :)

O for October

October is pretty awesome if you ask me. Why do i think that?
- Knotts Scary Farm
- Scary movie deals
- Pumpkin candles & frapps
- Old disney halloween movies on TV
- Glowsticks

Not to mention it marks the "1 MONTH" until my bday.
Whats your favorite things about October?

BTW if your gonna buy things for Halloween, do it 2 weeks before the 31st, you'll be shocked at how much cheaper it is :) friendly reminder....xo BE SAFE

Social Networks: Love or Hate?

It is CRAZY how so many people life through social networks these days. Forget about texts, calls or dinners with friends, just talk on your social network! Lol now I’d rather text, call or go out with friends to keep in contact but I think I only do that occasionally with about 2 people these days. Everyone has a preference though. In addition to that, the “news feed” or “tweets” I read are sometimes ridiculous to read. We ALL have issues but not everyone on your social network needs to know! So here are my little random “do’s and dont’s” for your site. Given everyone has a different opinion which is AWESOME, but this is just MY opinion & what I feel would make these social networks a more positive environment!

DO POST:
-Good events in your life! Birthdays, promotions, anything positive you’ve experienced that day etc.
- Pictures/videos that show the real you without being graphic or derogatory. Beach photos, gradutation videos or even random outing with friends are pretty cool in my opinion.
-Questions or ideas to generate positive energy/thoughts/conversation! Like how I post my questions/statements of the day! Sometimes we have a random thought or question and posting these gets others involved and “juices” flowing in a sense, sometimes they also lead to making new connections!
- Music or things that you found/discovered that others might not have seen or know about! Sharing is caring and I know I love quotes/videos that others post that I haven’t seen/heard yet.

DO NOT POST:
- Posts including labeling words such as bitches and hoes, liar, curse word this and that etc. YES we all have friend/men/women issues BUT seeing 9 out of 10 negative posts including curse words and labels is TIRING AND OLD!
- Naked or suggestive content with minimal clothes. Anyone can be naked on a bathroom sink or posing in front of a mirror. All that makes me think is “wow, never is that cool” and it makes me smh. Don’t degrade your greatness!
- Threats or posts tagging people in them where you’re negatively addressing them. An ugly character makes me run and delete ya! Not attractive :-]
- Anything with HATE in it! This world has enough problems and if some people only know you from these sites, always being hurtful or pessimistic is an ugly trait, so please refrain. “Where is the love”

So in conclusion, I think its all common sense really! I’ve been guilty of posting negative things due to my “bad day” but there’s always something bigger than our petty issues. I’m so tired of reading posts with a negative undertone to them so let’s try to make online a better place :-] xo

My Top 3 Make-Up Products

BEST FACE MAKEUP- LANCOME~ Teint Idole Ultra
I'e used this stuff for years, its awesome! lasts 14hr, foundation that dries with a powder lightweight look and feel. I put it on with a makeup paint brush, super easy to blend and apply. Lasts me around 3 months. $42 at Macys or Lacome but SO worth it, my skin looks awesome!


BEST MASCARA- COVERGIRL~ Lash Blast Volume
My fav hands down, and I've tried ALLLLL the mascaras. This one makes them longer, thicker and they stayed curled. Many others I've tried wesigh my lashes down. This one doesn't and it holds all day. Between $6-$7.50 at drugstores. Love love love!


BEST EYESHADOW- SEPHORA~ Colorful Mono Eyeshadow
This is my fav no ?s asked. Only $12 at Sephora and comes in over 80 colors, i own about 20 lol. They stay on all day, very vibrant and pigmented. I recommend this to anyone who likes eye popping shadow.

Photoshoot- Costa Mesa, CA

So here I am! Trying to step up my game! I shot the first week of June with my boy Jay in Costa Mesa, CA. The name of his company is James Kruythoff Photography. Message me if your interested with working with him and I'll link you up! This was my first actual photoshoot where I was in and outta the water. Jay is AWESOME and his pix are flawless! More shots from this shoot will be uploaded to my website, coming soon :) xo

Random or Normal

We all have little random things we do/like but are they really random or normal?
What I do may be random to you but normal to me and vice versa.
Who’s to say which is right or what is normal
All I know is I’m definitely different :)


Random or Normal?
-I cant sleep unless I have the covers over me.
-Dresses have to be 1)short and 2)paired with tall heels.
-My closet is color coordinated, lightest to darkest, left to right.
-I won't eat/drink anything that will turn my mouth colors.
-My water has to come in a certain type of bottle or I won't drink it.
-I rinse off all can tops before I open them.



Random? probably... Normal? Yup

Be Yourself

Some days are longer than others,
Some people advance faster than others,
Some people fall in love while others stay single...
One thing that you can control is who you are and who you can be
Be yourself in life, at work, when you meet someone, when you are alone in your own silence.
That is the best advice I can give to others and tell myself when things look down or when you come to a cross roads
Everything else will fall into place :)

Dream or Reality

Is true love a dream or a reality?
It is SO hard to determine these days. Most of us have been lied to or cheated on, know someone whose lied or cheated or have had our hearts broken and lies told to our face.
Dating is a vicious game. End of story. Point blank.
Not everyone has the qualities that make a relationship sustainable, whether you’re together or going on dates, the qualities make the person, their character doesn’t change and their motives shouldn’t either.
However, motives and actions DO change in those who aren’t true to the person they are portraying.
Today, one of my best friends found out his girl was going behind his back with another man. In my mind, this would crush me; I could only imagine how he feels. Now you think it would be common sense to those in a relationship to value their partner and their connection but sadly this isn’t always the case for one person in that commitment. So this got me thinking.
IS true love a dream or can it in fact be a reality?..... Yes, there are ups and downs, that’s with life in general. What makes me wonder is WHY is commitment and loving someone who loves you so hard? It shouldn’t be. There shouldn’t be so many curves and dark corners. There shouldn’t be so many fake words and distrusting actions. So how do you determine which is real and fake?
SO many things can be discussed when you ask “is true love a dream or reality because most of us have a cloudy, dreamlike experience where we feel like “true love” isn’t real… my advice?
All I can personally do is be myself. Regardless of those around me or those who chose not to embrace my love and affection. “Everything happens for a reason”. I believe I have a lot to offer so…. All we can do is try and wait…. Wouldn’t that be amazing is “true love” did exist for each of us? :) keep smiling…

Get the Popcorn!!!

Okay so I think MOVIES area great. Whether your going on a date, have a night off from work or just want to go out with friends, they are good for every occasion!
So a few of my FAVS are:
-Gladiator
-The Patriot
-BraveHeart
-Miracle At St. Anna
-Jumping the Broom
-30 Days of Nights
-Apocalypto

Now I know Im forgetting a few but those are DEF MUST SEES!!!!!


so heres my opinions on movies
Perfect date movie- ACTION or COMEDY....cant go wrong! lets both the man and the women enjoy themselves and the company

Rainy day movie: Something with a strong story line or real life event, like Miracle at St. Anna! Movie is AMAZING! I can watch it anytime (because of mr L.A. lol) but that movie has a very significant story behind it, makes for a good chill day or in this case, rainy day weather.

Love Making Night movie: Sexy romantic movie like "The Best Man" or "Brown Sugar" or "Jumping the Broom"..Those movies are not only well written, have amazing actors/actresses, but the LOVE in those movies is so strong, it will definitely make the women your with smile and put her in another mindset. As for the "love making", that parts up to you lol


Bottom line, i LOVE movies, and they can add to any occasion or mood you want to set!

Safe or Happy?

As women, it is natural for us to have a guard up. This did not happen overnight. After bad experiences, we become more guarded: its instinct. Now most of us won’t blame you or compare you to those of the past, but our guard is present, sometimes it is higher up than others, depending on each person.
So what goes through my mind, having been hurt in the past and recently, is it easier to avoid putting your heart out there and be safe, or should we always take that chance???
Safe or happy?
I don’t feel being safe IS happy; it is being OKAY with being content.
We should never settle, men or women, for there are far greater things in life, regardless of if we’ve felt them, they are there. Timing is EVERYTHING… If the right person is in front of you, but the timing is off, I will not work period. It is a game, whether we like it or not.
But the thing about this game is WE make up the rules and WE control the moves. It is a blessing and a curse. I can personally say my wall is ever so high due to no one showing me proof of why I should take it down.
My wall guards and protects me, so until that man who secures my mind and proves to me my heart is in good hands, I feel like I can hold onto my heart, I know I will protect it.
But that doesn’t mean that everyone will hurt me, or hurt you. I feel like I will fall 100 times, be stabbed in the back 100 times, feel pain 100 times before that 1 time where I’m loved by another more than life itself.
So should we be safe or happy?
I say do you, feel out life, take chances, and take lessons away from every situation, good or bad.
But remember, you have to TRY and let someone in to let them show you their intentions. Blocking out someone due to a horrible experience may cause you to pass up the “right” one or situation…
Food for thought…..

We played off green and gold, wanting to accent the outfit but also wanted to shoot her in a way where thee final shots didn't look like her "normal" self. Wanted to give her a different, softer look, focusing on the eyes and "beauty". Here's a sample of what we did below, you can see more at Facebook.com/BrittaniMorris , you can also contact Ganesha and myself on there! Hope you enjoy! Stay tuned for more.

Fitness With Brittani

So lately I've been "training" a few of my co workers you could say, helping them with workouts and good food vs bad food etc. So here are my basics that I thought I'd share

1) Changing your diet or working out won't give you longterm results. You have to do both together!

2)Breakfast I usually mix a few choices (remember I'm trying to lose fat and tone as well). Either Crispix or Raisin B cereal, half cup of milk and protein shake, or half cup of egg whites with quaker oatmeal. Both are filling and it will bring you energy for your morning! Make sure you eat

3) Cut out whites. Im on whole wheat whole GRAIN, gotta have the GRAIN in it. WW/WG tortillas, bread etc. And brown rice, not white.

4) Drinks are easy, 8 bottles of water a day and green tea with lemon. No soda or sugar juices. Cutting that out alone with help you drop the weight and keep it off.

5)Biggest thing for me is my protein. I don't eat red meat, rarely, It's lean ground turkey or grilled chicken! Easiest thing i make, 4 oz ground turkey, whole wheat pasta noodles(any style), and either spagetti or alfredo sauce. Very filling, just make sure you watch your portions.

Other than those, The only other things I live by, thanks to my trainer, eat every3 hours, make sure your getting veggies and water in your day. Workouts I mix circuit training routines with cardio. One day I'll do a 30 minute floor workout then 1hr cardio, next day I'll do another circuit then 45 min cardio etc. Change it up :)

I'm very big on nutrition and fitness :) Any questions FB me or email me (email on fb page)

Dating 101

SOOO lately alot of my friends or people I know have been having relationship/dating issues! I mean who doesn't?! Seems like a daily event now days, so It got me thinking. What things should men/women know about the opposite sex that might help that 1st date or conversations go smoother? Now of COURSE this is MY opinion based from what I personally would like or things I have seen/heard, you may disagree or have more but here's a few things I came up with....

SO...

MEN:
-Women like you 2 suprise them! Now given some women don't like random surprises like showing up to their job etc. What I mean by suprise is doing what they don't expect you to, like call text them in the morning, letting them know they're on your mind or saying "have a good day", that starts us out with a huge smile, it was something you didn't have to do but gains you points!

-We appreciate honesty and doing what you say you will do more than you know! We all have a past and have known or been hurt by many men, leaving us to already be unsure if your trustworthy. The more you tell us, thee better. We appreciate little details or calls when you say you'll call, makes it easier for us to let our guard down.

-Asking us on a date is simple yet goes a long way! We may get hollered at , or approached for our number, but not many of us get a genuine "hey miss excuse me" followed by a genuine offer for a date.

-Women share stories so give us a good one to share! We can exchange several stories in a 5 minute car ride, so let your story have to "be continued", let it be something were dying to boast about. And if were sharing our date, it was either horrible or amazing, so let it be amazing right :)

-We love hearing compliments or seeing you notice thee little things, like if we change our perfume or do our hair or makeup different, a simple comment or gesture showing you noticed makes a HUGE difference, because not many men notice, We love that!!


WOMEN:
-As they said in "The Ugly Truth", you gotta be the stripper and thee librarian. Men are VISUAL, so visual that they mentally plan our outfits before we do. You gotta be able to be sexy and sweet, and other times relax in a t and watch the game with your boo! You don't have to be "on" all the time.

-Keep the conversation appropriate to the situation. If your man had a long hard day, without question, offer him a massage and to watch his favorite movie, dont tell him you want to "talk" or ask him when he's taking you out next. Cater to him, show him you understand how he feels.

-Food and sex are obviously on a mans mind more than anything else, or at least top 10 each day, so there's nothing wrong with suprising him with a dinner in something short or cute. The gesture will spring up more than just one feeling :)

-It isn't always about you, contrary to what some say. Communicate with your man/date, not my controls but questions, giving him space to express his needs, wants, questions, anything that may be on his mind. Just because he is a man, doesn't mean he doesn't have a say or opinion.

-Ask him out or give him a proposal of some sort! See if on the weekend he wants to go see a movie, or watch a game and you'll cook dinner! Compromise is key, and offering to show him a good time makes him smile, just like it would make you smile...


So im not trying to be a therapist but I think it's good to think about the basics, and see that little things could change alot!!!! Random post I know, but ya never know who you will meet tomarrow, and You never know what you could loose today so stay on top of your game!!! :)

The End

So Let's Recap

So January is here, already over a week into it, what have I done so far:
-Started a new quarter a new school, Cal State school by thee way
-Signed with a promotion/magazine company
-Booked 3 people for me to personally shoot for my photography company
-Booked myself 2 modeling shoots with other photographers
-Opened up my new student credit account
-Got my 1st Check for January, including triple thee amount of normal commission
-Doubled my water dosage so I can stay on track with thee fitness

Now that's all I can recall for this moment but my point was simply this. EVERYTHING makes a difference, whether big or small, something tiny can always turn into something big so push yourself! Go big or go the hell home! Set goals for yourself and stick to them, for it is always possible! xoxo
