Plus Size Fringe Tanks

   Hey guys! Some I’m going to the Made In America 2 day concert in Philly in a couple of weeks. This will be my first real concert and I’m so excited. But I’m also going crazy with decisions. As you all know I’m currently losing weight and I really like this look!! Fringe tops!! And let me tell you…Rainbow used to really suck…but they have finally gotten a website and the clothes are dope!!! So my plan is to wear maybe some leggings or high waist jeans and a top similar to this one. What do you think??
Yay or Nay??

Trayvon Martin


Trayvon Martin
   So, the verdict is in, George Zimmerman has been found NOT GUILTY by the jury. I can’t even begin to describe how I feel. Forget all the racial things that have been through into the mix…the fact of the matter is a child is dead. And no one has to pay the price of that. Not even a week will be served in jail time, only a slap on the wrist. He will get his gun back. He will be able to return to his family and friends. It’s almost like saying murder is okay. It all made me fill a certain kind of way about bringing black boys into this world in the future.  SMH. At the end of the day I’ve come to terms with it in my own way. He is not guilty (by Florida law)….but he is not innocent either. One day he will pay for his actions…but no one on this earth will be deciding his fate.
   An interesting post was on my Facebook timeline. A young man went on to say that Zimmerman killed a black man and now for the rest of his life, he will know what it feels like to live as a black man in America. He will feel people stare at him, judging him for what he feels are unfair reasons. He will lose out on getting jobs for something he feels is out of his control. He will believe he is an outstanding citizen and wonder why people choose not to feel the same. People will cross the street when they see him coming. They will call him names. It will drive hims so insane that some days he will want to scream at the top of his lungs…but he will have to wake up the next day, put on a firm look, and push through life. I bet he never thought that by taking a black man’s life that he’d end up inheriting all of a black man’s struggles. Enjoy your “freedom” Mr. Zimmerman.
   With all this being said. I pray for all parties involved. Because of Georgie’s actions, his parents cannot live in a home for more than 6 months, his family and friends receive death threats on a daily basis, a young man is  no longer with us, and a country is once again divided.
   I urge everyone to move forward. Because we cannot begin to heal if we continue to look back. Forgive him. Because he who angers you controls you. But NEVER FORGET! We can not expect a change to occur if we don’t become the change! Especially in the African American community. July 13th will always be marked as a day of injustice in America. We as a nation must come together.

I made this outfit and the accessorizes today in honor of young Trayvon Martin. May the travesty and injustice you died from never happen to another human again. The sad thing is…we all know an action like this will inevitably reoccur. Kiss your loved ones, tell them you love the…stay peaceful, stay prayerful, be encouraged!

Black peplum top, white jeans, leopard print pumps and clutch..and I actually wore gold chandelier like earrings and a black oversized ring. I wore gold and black eyeshadow. And for the first time I tried pink lipstick. It was pretty great looking if I do say so myself LOL!

OOTD: Code: Summer Time Fine

workout

Hey y’all

    Ok so a couple of things! I have closed the RSVP for my housewarming and it’s time to put plans into action!! I’m so excited!! Anyway…The date is June 1st and I have a goal weight (which is a secret of course!) Anyway I’m working out with the famous trainer Kenya Crooks. He is the trainer of the stars. He is very prominent in the Atlanta area and is making a name for himself all over the nations. Anyway I started on April 17, and I’ve lost 13 lbs and I feel great!! That’s 13 lbs in 16 days (and those days include some “womanly” things going on) Check him out on Facebook. Just search “Kenya Crooks and the real results experience” Check out his plans. You can do one on one, groups, and online. It includes a meal plan. He is stationed in Atlanta and has group workout areas all over the metro Atlanta and even in South Carolina! So far I am a success story and he has a lot others on his page. He has a great personality, keeps you motivated, but also keeps you in check.  I’m trying to be “summer time fine”! and I’m getting there. I have 31 days to go and 37 pounds left to lose. I’m going to try my best to make it! Join me ladies and gentlemen! Contact him on Facebook and tell him Karyssa sent you!

    Ok so about this outfit. I’m going in today at the gym as soon as my boyfriend goes to work; and I’m workin this fit today! The shorts are good for hold your stomach in for the workout and they make my butt look good LOL! I have a high-compression sports bra because my boobs are kind of on the large side and I need some good support. Hair? Gonna be bunned up with a cute head scarf because no one wants to run with hair in their face. To round it up I have good running shoes and headphones to keep me amped up. Usually I watch Netflix on my phone when I’m at the gym. It gives me incentive to workout through a whole movie without watching the clock. If you work out with Kenya Crooks…you won’t need headphones lol

 So! What are you doing to get summer time fine??

OOTD: Interview

I have an interview for my dream job tomorrow and boy am I sweating bullets. Peach looks great on my skin and it’s my lucky color. My ensemble will look a little something like this tomorrow. Black pants, peach to brighten the look up a bit and pearls to make it classy (and flats so I won’t slip and fall from sweaty feet and bad nerves LOL)! Wish me lots and lots of luck!!!!
