Look what the cat dragged in... ThatgirlJamika! It's been too long since my last post and I sincerly apologize. However I must say my hiatus was not in vain and I do have a plethora of new style pics and fashion tips to share. My goal is to post at minium twice a month and go from there. I miss blogging on the regular. I use my website as a platform to express who I am. I love being me and enjoy sharing my style, poetry and everything that makes me, Jamika B.! For many years now I have struggled with generalized aniexty and major depression. I've talked about my anxiety issues in the best but never explained the effects it had on me. Aniexty is created from the fear of the unknown, in which most cases, for myself, leads to complete panic. My aniexty issues begin to grow out of control and developed into other "disorders." I never realized how much withdrawn I became socially until the fear of being alone kicked in. The fear of pushing everyone away to the point of no return. The fear of writing a blog post because I was so insecure about myself that I didn't want my depression to show. The lack of inspiration to create and the fear of that creativity never returning. Once I began to realize the tight grip that fear had on my life, I immediately knew things were going to have to change and change soon. I decided to invest in me. I decided I was not going to live in fear. I decided on a plan to self recovery. So what did I do? I read and I wrote everyday. I read books (which I will share later) that feed me spiritually and mentally. I wrote in several journals, each for seperate purposes. The one I am proud of the most is my, "365 Days of Gratitude" journal. I write in this journal at least 5 days a week. Each entry I write a paragraph or more on what I am gratiful for on that day, in that moment. Then on the next blank page I write my current short term goals. I like to focus on no more than 3 goals at a time. I do not want to overwhelm myself and begin to doubt in my success. After goals are set, underneath I write 20 ways to improve myself to obtain my listed goals. This is what you call brain exercises. I had to mentally strength myself in order to move past my fears that lead to my anxiety issues. These days I am feeling good. Feeling strong and fearless. Everyday is not a walk in the park but I learn to live in the present. To appreciate that gift in time. For time waits for no man and to spend precious time in fear, is insanity. Now that Stella has her groove back, I am back in my closet and thrifting around town! I have always believed that when you feel good, you look your best. I feel great, so I must look FIERCE! Check me out.. I am absolutely in love with this LBD I thrifted. The perfect black sequins dress for NYE. Can we say adore? Another score thrifting this mauve pancho dress. Perfect for a fall date night. The most stylish teacher you ever did see, Mrs. B. The top is thrifted. The skirt belonged to my grandmother and the coat I got for a great deal at Sears. Score! I feel like I'd look perfect for The Cosby Show here. (All jokes aside. Hands down the stylist for that show was genius!) Thrifted cardigan sweater with sweater pencil skirt and distressed boots. Thrifted dashiki. Score! I need to find more of these. I'm the Michael Jackson Thiller! Is she not the cutest little vintage red leather jacket you ever did see?!? This look is so fun and retro. Until next time, remember to smile, to feel good and to keep feeling better! Muah Stay THRIFTY...

Chemistry is me touching your mind and it setting your body on fire... The problem I have with Yeezus (amongst other #blackcelebrities) is he was once with us, arrested for the sit-ins, now he wants to be our god. Naw I ain't going bro. See here's where he went wrong...he wants us to praise him for doing a good job. NO! You don't see me expecting praise for being a good teacher. I do my damn job and I does it well...see his obession is bigger than him just making good music. It's the fact that he was his mother's only child, so he was adorn by her and now that she's gone he needs his stans to feel her spot but they obviously are not enough because now not only are his stans to worship him we are to worship his wife and the kid (freakin cute I might add. Mika love the kids). Well I'm not going! Even Jesus gave the people something they needed (healing, faith, hope, love).Yeezus YOU ARE DOING YOUR JOB. SOMETHING YOUR CREATOR BROUGHT YOU HERE TO DO. SO DO IT AND STOP LOOKING FOR PRAISE AND SELF GRATIFICATION. Damnit! Lol these #celebrities better wake up cuz they been bullshitn us. Talk is cheap and I don't give a fvck. So I'll say what's on my mind and my mind is feed up with the false illusions and lies they feeding us! #common where you at❓❗️❓ #nobodysmiling #wakethemasses #justme #LyricalGenius #JamikaB Copyright 2012-2014 © Jamika Babbitt Now I can respect the song New Slaves. There's truth in the lyrics but are we to praise the fact that we are the new slaves. Is Yeezus suppose to be the new slaves savior❓❗️❓ And if so when is he going to save us? Or do we wait on him like we waiting on Jesus? #foodforthought I feel like these #blackcelebrities have let the #blackcommunity down. They have millions and millions of dollars but never give back to the community in a way that is healing. They come in during the summer time or whenever, to do a few activities, one weekend, then they GONE! Never staying around to see what can they do to help heal the land that birth them. Because CHICAGO, the stinky land (look up John Baptise Point duSable) has been rotting for years. With the millions and millions of dollars #blackcelebrities have combined possibly billions of dollars why can't we rebuild every #blackcommunity in the US. If you gonna be the "new slaves" well at least have respect towards your ancestors who built this country of USofA with the blood, sweat, tears and scars on their backs. Respect your ancestors by respecting your culture and your people. I could go on for days so I'll hold me peace. Read Jeremiah 29 it explains some things. Peace... #justme #LyricalGenius #JamikaB Copyright 2012-2014 © Jamika Babbitt Somethin' is boilin', boilin' in me Someone is toyin', toyin' wi' me It won't get out, it won't stop It don't move out, it won't leave It won't get out, it won't stop It don't move out Song by: #Disclosure #Boiling I need it now, eyy I need it now, eyy I need it now, eyy I need it now, eyy Song by: #Disclosure #Boiling Someone's ignorin', ignorin' defeat, But the taste of your poison, your poison is sweet, so sweet Song by: #Disclosure #Boiling He won't give up, and I won't up and go I don't know how He won't give up, and I won't up and go He's had enough, I won't leave He won't give up, but I won't up and go I don't know how He won't give up, but I won't up and go He's had enough Song by: #Disclosure #Boiling I Took my heart and kept it Now my wounds are setting There's no choice I could do I've become so reckless All my love's affected With the remnants of you You I need it now, eyyy Song by: #Disclosure #Boiling Stay THRIFTY... I am feeling the need to do a black and brown challenge. I was talking with a friend last week and as we were discussing an outfit the topic of, Does black and brown match? My answer of course is YES! But many still see it as a taboo. Like mixing gold and silver. Why is it a taboo? Basically they are two colors mostly used to balance out an outfit. Black boots, black bag. Brown boots, brown bag. But remember the rule of thumb black goes with everything. Everything? Everything! Well now I feel the need to show black and brown off as the perfect pair! Check me out... I got this cream jacket many years ago from Old Navy. I love when I get to wear it! I try not to wear it often, as I have a problem keeping whites and lights spot free. I thrifted these puppies this week at my local thrift shop. I thought they were kind of cute. Reminded me of ballet shoes. |
