They Say Pretty Fades, but Fly is Forever

9:00 PM

I thought it was about time that I explain the title of my humble blog and why I decided to model my blog after its meaning.

Though I probably shouldn't say this out loud, but the line comes from a commercial. And a cell phone service provider commercial at that!

A couple years back, AT&T had a range of commercials showcasing how cool it was to have the best cell phone service and how there may be many trends, the best things are always in style.

Something about the last line really caught my attention and got me thinking. "You know what they say, pretty fades, but fly is forever."

And you know what? Its right!

It relates to being the best kind of person, instead of trying to be the best looking or most the fashionable.

Being fly is something you have to work on from the inside. It's about being confident in your own skin and emitting that to those around you. When you're fly, you don't have to convince others of your worth because it's undeniable and people can't help but see it.

That's what I wanted to teach myself and then teach everyone else. When you're fly , you feel great in your own skin and show the world you confidence.

So next time you're feeling down about yourself, remember. Though you may not be the best, you are fly. And Fly is Forever.

5 Ways to Instantly Lift Your Spirit: Pick Yourself Up and Dust Yourself Off

12:10 PM

We all go through those days when the world seems bent on bringing us down.

You can have 1000 and one things to do but everything gets mixed up. Whether your boss is being super critical of you, or you woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning, nothing seems to be going right.

Those days are the ones where you need something to pick yourself back up, help dust off your shoulders and keep walking.

Heres my list of ways to beat those insecurities away or just shake off a killer case of the Mondays.

1. Get yourself a mantra.

-Find yourself a personal philosophy or a saying that will instantly lift you up. I'm partial to sayings that have to do with silencing your insecurities, since lack of confidence tends to stem from them. But anything you find that reminds you to keep your head up works. Make sure it's something simple that you can remember and say to yourself every time you start feeling worn out. Continually remind yourself that you are better than the circumstance that is wearing you down.

2. Find your theme song.

-This works best if you're one of those people how are always listening to music (guilty!) and just connect to music more than quotes. We all have those songs that we love and can listen to on repeat and indefinite amount of times, so pick one of those (or even a new song) that makes you sing out loud and not care who is watching. Then, every time you need to let things go, play your song and feel better.

Here are some examples if you're stuck:

Aloe Blacc- The Man

And:

Little Mix: Wings

3. Hit up the gym or just sweat it out.

-Ask any gym goer, or fitness fanatic and they will tell you how great they feel after a workout. The endorphin rush makes you feel energized and refreshed while also boosting your mood.

Whether you get a workout in at your local gym, take a quick jog, or have a quick dance party at your desk in the middle of the day, some physical activity will help get that brain energized. Not only will you be more alert, you will also have fresh eyes to look at your situation and approach it differently.

4. Take a moment for yourself.

- Get into yoga or just take a moment to meditate and you can gather your thoughts and see things clearer. Take a deep breath, and don't think of anything for a couple minutes. Recite your mantra and focus on your breathing and the world will be like new.

5. Relax

- Things happen and can overwhelm fast, but just remember that if you relax for just a few minutes either, with a dance party or some meditation you'll see that things aren't as bad as they seem. Deep Breaths are remember, you're doing something great with your time and by the end will be worth it.

Style Spotlight: Beyoncé Knowles

Vogue

Speaking of Beyoncé....

Its time for another style spotlight and who better to do it on than Queen Bey herself?

A long way away from her days of running around a beach in tattered clothing with her fellow Destiny's Child alum, Beyoncé broke out as a solo artist and music (and teenage girls and boys) will never be the same.

She's not only a world wide celebrity and sex symbol to many a young boy (or girl, really) she has become a symbol of empowerment for girls and women alike.

Calling herself the Queen, unapologetically and without flinching, she lets her followers know that its okay to think highly of yourself when you know you have so much to offer the word.

Though she is a household name, Beyonce manages to keep her private life out of the celebrity gossips magazines. She even had the power and the influence to keep an entire album complete with accompanying music videos, a complete surprise.

The queen definitely lives up to her nickname and continuously proves that she has no equivalent and that she rises above other celebrities who can't even seem to keep their unmentionables a secret.

Take heed followers, for this is the inspiration. Though we are not all Beyoncés, she is a great example of what working hard and believing in yourself and being the best version of yourself can lead to.

#BanBossy! The New Feminist Movement

3:51 PM

The LeanIn Organization and Girl Scouts of America have joined together to ban the word "Bossy."

In a PSA for the campaign celebrities like Jennifer Garner and Jane Lynch team up to show how using the word bossy to describe girls is demeaning and stifles their confidence.

What do you think? Does calling someone bossy make them quiet down? Is this a new kind of Feminist Fight?

And as if you need more of a reason to be more like her, Queen Bey herself has joined up to the cause.

...Aaaaaaand we bow down to the her.

Head on over to the campaigns website, take the pledge or just learn about the cause, and remember to be confident and spread it.
