Jennifer Lopez: True Love

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to do a quick book review.


I'm a fan of JLo. From her movies, to her music, to her fashion, and fragrances. She's gorgeous, she dances and is inspiring.




This book is a memoir of sort about her finding herself. She states in the very first few pages that it is not a tell all, it's not meant to be. It's about her life and the choices she's made to bring her to the woman she is today. Now. I watched her HBO special about her first world tour (it was amazing y'all should watch it) and the next day saw this book at my local library. It was almost like fate.

It's a rather quick read but it has some inspiring quotes and beautiful photos. As I was reading it I could hear Jennifer in my head, like she was right there telling me this story on how she found true love; not to boast but because she knew it could help me find my true love.

"When you give your time, your love, your respect, you deserve respect in return. You deserve comfort, you deserve honesty, and you deserve to feel safe"

Now granted I thought that it would be a mush fest when it came to the part about her children. As you may or may not know I don't have kids nor do I want kids but the way she talked about them help me understand the way I feel about my nieces and nephew.

This book is written in a way that feels very intimate...because, well it is. It's Jennifer letting us all in on the woman who lives on the other side of the movie screen.

I will be 30 really, really soon and I'm kind of freaking the fuck out. I've never had love, been in love or even close to love. So finding this book was Goddess sent. I feel like she's shown me that I'm moving in the right direction. That she may be a Star but she is also a Woman and that we can all relate to one another.

"You have to take care of yourself, your body, your mind, take care of your soul-be your own keeper."

I'm about as opposite of "Jenny from the block" as one can get but that's the power music can have. I can be just a fearless and exuberant as JLo and after getting to know her a little better though this book I can listen to her songs and really feel what she felt and feel what I felt and know it's the same.

I would recommend this to any JLo fan or anyone really who is looking for True Love.

Ta for now,
Kayla

I Used To Groom Dogs

Image
Hey Everyone! So as you may or may not know I am an avid animal lover but my personal faves are dogs. I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I wanted stuffed puppies before ever wanting a baby doll to play with and The Littlest Pet Shop was the shit. I was in 4-H for 5 years with dogs, even briefly trained dogs. Dog shows are my sporting events of choice. I rescued dogs for many years but purebreds will always have my heart. I started grooming dogs in 2004 when I was 18. I loved it, getting to be around dogs all day meeting new breeds and making the dogs (and owners) feel good. In April of 2016 I was able to move my little home run shop into a rental space in the heart of downtown. I was so excited. I though this is it. I'm doing the thing I've always wanted to do. But it seams that happiness for me is only a fleeting notion because my body can no longer cope with the demands of my job. Long story, an MRI and a couple of months of physical therapy, short I g...

November Favorites 2014

Image
It's December ya'll! That means that Yule and Christmas are just right around the corner, before you know it it will be 2015! I did film a faves video. In fact I filmed it twice but both times I forgot a few things and the quality was not very good. So...... A good old fashion blog post it is! Lets begin with the first beauty product: NYC Sky rise Lengthening Mascara. It's kind of amazing and for just a couple of dollars you can't go wrong. It has a thin traditional brush that helps gets extra close to the lash line. I used it every time I applied makeup in November because it helped me reach those tiny curled lashes I have on my left eye. Also because of my astigmatism helped to not stab myself in the eyeball. The second beauty fave is: Not Your Mothers: Way to Grow Long and Strong I was needing a new shampoo and preferred one that was sulfate free and I found this at my local Wal-Mart. I have used their hair spray before and thought why not gave...

Dogs.

Hey everyone! I am a self proclaimed Dog Snob. I love dogs and the sport of showing dogs. Anything involved with dogs, I love. Now I say Snob because I prefer purebreds. Mutts are great, I have several but my heart is pedigreed. This is also why I love being a pet groomer, getting to be hands on with so many different breeds and making them look as close as I can to their breed type is a thrill for me. I have always wanted to breed/show purebred dogs. Westminster is like the Super Bowl for me, I love reading about animal genetics, and raising puppies. But getting a breeder of quality dogs to give a virtual 'noobie' like me a puppy in the my chosen breed is nearly impossible. Now my breed of choice is the Poodle. Big or small I love them all but trying to find a healthy, well bred companion Toy Poodle is nearly impossible, almost as impossible as getting one from a show breeder. I was heavily involved with animal rescue for many years and I will always lend a hand to a d...
