<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not only is Trina the baddest  in the rap game... she is also killing it in the hair game. So, to celebrate Trina, the Rockstarrs fabulous hairstyles over the years, check out my top 5 Trina hairstyles:</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Keepin it Straight - Lets start with this bad ass chic bob, which is probably my all time favourite look of hers, the cut and length are so flattering and her hair looks super healthy. I'm not sure if this is a wig or weave,, but whatever it is, it looks gorgeous!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinKNpvSbZIi2cO-PGkVqT95R-AXmLnSdd3OCWDcbZ0vvaS8DEvjTqqJt5s9SjYfSHDIY9BlNQ0j7knGrrOs9WPzDYmNbY7cmNKsoMzKTcYdS9xCCJK38p0xwLiowEi9VlwUAqklLT6zto/s1600/Trina_hairstyle_1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinKNpvSbZIi2cO-PGkVqT95R-AXmLnSdd3OCWDcbZ0vvaS8DEvjTqqJt5s9SjYfSHDIY9BlNQ0j7knGrrOs9WPzDYmNbY7cmNKsoMzKTcYdS9xCCJK38p0xwLiowEi9VlwUAqklLT6zto/s1600/Trina_hairstyle_1.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Boss chick Blonde. Trina is one of those ladies, that can pull off most hair colours and blonde is one of those colours that really flatters her. The girly curls and hair colour completely transform her look.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Ginger brown waves - You can't go wrong with bouncy waves and this sophisticated style adds a touch of class to Trina's look</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. All black everything - Trina has recently reverted back to jet black hair and it really suits her, simple but elegant</span><br />

Top 5 favourite things of the week!

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 5 things I love this week are...</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check out the things I can't get enough of this week:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. The gorgeous <b>Luptia Nyong'o</b> is the cover girl for Glamour magazine and this has made my week. The talented actress keeps on winning and continues to challenge the traditional westernised views of beauty. Luptia has been named the new face for <a href="http://www.glamour.com/about/lancome">Lancôme</a>; which happens to be the first time the French cosmetics company has used a black person to front their brand. She's scored the <a href="http://www.people.com/people/package/gallery/0,,20360857_20809145_30141652,00.html">cover</a> of People's Most Beautiful issue making her the second black woman (after Beyonce in 2012) to appear on the front cover of the magazine. One of the most amazing things about Luptia is, there are a generation of young black women all over the world, seeing her on front covers of magazines and winning awards for her achievements making them realise, how beautiful they are too. <a href="http://www.glamour.com/inspired/women-of-the-year/2014/lupita-nyongo">Read</a> her interview with Glamour magazine.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2.My Motto of the Week - I'm in my thirties and only just starting to realise how important it is to accept change in my life and learn from it. Traditionally I'm not a risk taker and usually not comfortable with change, I was recently made redundant from a job I grew to hate. I was so worried about the redundancy and how I would be able survive without much savings. But little did I know that, the redundancy was a blessing in disguise. Not only did I get to spend quality time with my husband and son, I've now found a job I really enjoy. Had I not been made redundant,  I probably would never of taken the gamble and looked for a new job. So when I finally accepted the redundancy, I was so much happier for it. I genuinely feel my life has become all the better for experiencing and accepting change. So for all my readers, if change is coming your way, don't fear it, just embrace it.</span><br />

Is 17 too young to have plastic surgery?

<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is Kylie Jenner having lip augmentation procedures?</span></h2>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, pictures indicate that <b>Kylie Jenner</b> may be surgically enhancing her physical appearance. Surgery is nothing new to celeb culture, but the only difference is, Kylie Jenner is 17 years of age. So, do you think she is too young to start having surgical procedures to enhance her appearance? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18.9871444702148px;">Body confidence is a massive issue for young people in our increasingly celeb obsessed culture. All you need to do is turn on the TV, or open a magazine and you see images of "perfect" looking celebs. EverydaysSocial media is jam packed with young people trying to emulate their favourite celebs.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18.9871444702148px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18.9871444702148px;">So, in a world where everyone is striving for this false image of perfection and having the ability to enhance almost any part of their body , the number of teenagers having plastic and cosmetic procedures is hardly surprising. But w</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18.9871444702148px;">hat concerns me is, as the demand for plastic surgery amongst young people (in this unregulated industry) grows. The real underlying issues for wanting surgery are not been addressed.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18.9871444702148px;">  I recently watched <a href="http://www.uk.tlc.com/shows/jodie-marsh-on/">Jodie Marsh's documentary on Plastic Surgery </a>and it provided real insight into some the tragic circumstances driving people to feel inadequate, fuelling their desire to appear perfect by undergoing surgery. This show has definitely changed my attitude towards people having plastic surgery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Speaking personally, I'm no different from most women who has the occasional moan about needing to loose weight and wanting the perfect figure. But ultimately, I've learnt to accept and love myself and not look for acceptance from anyone. I'm not here to judge anyone who chooses to undergo plastic surgery to enhance their physical appearance, but I urge anyone reading this post considering plastic surgery,  to realise "perfection" simply does not exist. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I understand that as a blogger, I  too, have a role to play in the types of media influencing the way young women feel about themselves. So, if my blog encourages or inspires at least  one person to feel more positive about themself, then my job is complete.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.9871444702148px;">So, going back to Kylie, its hard for any teenager growing up in today's society, let alone growing up under the scrutiny of the press. Kylie is a beautiful young lady and if there are  underlying issues, then i hope she is getting the love and support from her family and cosmetic procedures do not become an obsession.</span></span></span><br />

Is 17 too young to have plastic surgery?

Circle of Sisters Expo 2014

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love LaLa's speech at Circle of Sisters</span></h2>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't believe I've only just discovered the event, <a href="http://www.circleofsisters.com/">Circle of Sisters Expo 2014</a>. The event has been running since 1998 in New York and focuses on informative and empowering panel discussions led by authors, field experts, political figures and some of the biggest names in entertainment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Instead of only talking about fashion, beauty and celebs I like to search for uplifting and inspiring stories. So I was shocked to discover this amazing event has been running for 16 years! and I've only just discovered it</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Queen of the slash, LaLa Anthony was one of the keynote speakers at this years event and her speech was all about women maintaining their independence and not relying on a man to make them financially secure. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, my question to my readers is, how many of you are setting goals and working towards them?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've recently got married and always worked really hard, but probably didn't realise until quite recently,  the  importance of goal setting and working towards achieving those goals.</span><br />

<b>3 reasons why setting goals is important and helps to create great energy:-</b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1. You need clarity about where you are heading</b> -  </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have no sense of direction how do you k</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">now what success looks like. Write down where you want to achieve  1 year/5 years/10 years/20 years from now, it helps to gives you a sense of achievement.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2. Help to keep you moving forward-</b> I get easily distracted, so its great to be able to refer back to my list of goals to keep me on track. There is nothing better than setting a goal for yourself and achieving it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3. Be accountable for your own goals </b>- I find that when I write something down its turns a goal from a dream to a reality and make s me more accountable for achieving that goal.</span><br />
