Black History Month

-
Hair like the trees and skin like butter. Honey, golden, and bronzed...we are sister and brother. Our trade names differ, but our eyes remain the same. Step into my window of a soul that is bitter and in pain. Black on white or white on black..but it’s not really the same. There's color to this world and thus the world is not color blind. "I do not see color”, but yet you stare as I walk by. Head high with my shoulders back. Swift in every movement, never missing a beat. Children playing up and down the streets. Machines that shoot copper and steel but can't shake the system. What is this new tune? You've must’ve broken our rhythm. Taken from the rich golden grounds to deep across the blue. Chained and whipped if only these children knew. There is no honor and there is no pride, because all you see is black and white. So far away from way home that we had to disconnect. We look at each other with no remorse nor respect. Hair like the trees and skin like butter. Honey, golden, and BLACK. We are sister and brother.

How To Make Money (Without A Job) 1.) Start a T-Shirt Business In my opinion, you can never go wrong with starting up your own t-shirt line. Almost everybody owns some type of t-shirt or graphic tee so why not turn it into a business? You can come up with your own logo or just make basic tee's that majority would love to wear. Such as "Flawless" or Tupac or classic cartoons with a funny quote. There are many websites out there to help get you started or you can build from home. 2.)  Sell Eyelashes I see almost everyone doing this on social media. They have a link in their bio to their eyelash website. You can search whole sale eyelash companies online that are willing to help people like you make some extra cash. 3.) Sell Your Blood Plasma You don’t make big bucks for this, but it will put some extra cash into your pocket. You can donate your plasma twice a week and earn between $20-$50 each time you do it. Just be sure to eat a WELL BALANCED DIET ...

How To Spend the Day Alone and Unwind 1.) Candles I honestly love the smell of candles and most find them quite relaxing. Turning off the lights to lie back in your bed or couch or.. wherever you are and enjoying the aromas of a candle can be very soothing to the mind. 2.) Favorite music Whether you’re blasting your music through speakers, having your own mini concert in your bathroom, or putting your ear buds in to unwind, music is also another great way to spend the day with yourself. You can actually listen to the lyrics and get a better feel to what messages the artist what’s to relate to you. 3.) Binge watch movies/tv series This tip is my favorite because I’m a sucker for romance movies. I can watch them all day or binge watch Stranger Things while eating food in bed all day. 4.) Do not disturb That’s right! A lot of people are glued to their phones. I mean how can you possibly unwind if you’re still glued to your phone, checking your notifications and...
