Style Files: Mother Daughter Style Icons Jada Pinkett-Smith & Willow Smith



Nine year old Willow is a lil superstar in the making and her sense of uniqueness and style is admirable at such a young age. At her age young girls tend to follow what they see on t.v or in magazines just to fit in but, when you are confident enough to be different and show yourself as an individual like Willow has, that is definitely special. Her new single "Whip my hair" is definitely sending the same message. Momma Jada Pinkett-Smith is also looking amazing. The woman in the Smith family are definitely holding it down!

Todays Modern Day Man: What Happened to Chivalry?


Ladies, we love our men but lets face it; men today are just not what we expect of them. The idea of finding that one and only true love seems to be more and more of a wish then a realistic obtainable goal. Yes, there are men out there and you can probably have one or even two of them if you really wanted to; but what I am talking about is being able to feel like jelly when he comes around you, getting butterflies when your getting ready to meet up with him, melting in his arms when he kisses you. Similar to those feelings you had when you met your first love as a teenager. Today's modern day man is very different. Men no longer feel the need to be gentlemen and show chivalry. No longer open doors and pull out chairs or show up with flowers. Let me take that back; if your lucky they might do it for a while on the first few dates to get you hooked then when the woman decides to give it up, it all changes. A lot of men today feel like they have so many different women to choose from; so why do they have to treat woman any differently and in a way they are right. If a man has access to getting any woman and you expect him to treat you well and another woman would just take him without requesting any type of special treatment, why would he not go for what is easier. Unfortunately, this is the mentality of today's modern day man. Let's start to set those expectations with the men in our lives because if they don't know what's expected they cannot make that compromise and show their woman more appreciation. For woman dating be vocal about what type of man you are looking for right from the get-go, so that you avoid any confusion and disappointment. If your man knows what you need and really cares about building a real growing relationship with you then he will give you what you need but, if not that will allow you to understand your man and it's your decision to accept his "unchivalrous" ways or move on.
