My name is Nicole Cherise

hey beauties

I'm doing my Nikki Girl Rock! Yep I am loving me, the way the Lord created me and living from the soul. God is doing so much for me and as I reflect on the past 13 years I have evolved. Many know me as a nice, kind-hearted and intelligent individual and those are the things that truly make my heart smile. Others are so "into" fashion, money, appearance, cars and such but those things are accessories to you, they dont MAKE YOU!

What I've learned is that you have to do what makes God happy and of course yourself! Even loved ones will not be able to understand decisions I have made or will make and it is truly not for them to understand. Just love me, Nicole Cherise.

If a person whom you are fond of can only love you because of possessions or trophy values then you need to re-evaluate their relationship to you. I count my blessings everday because I know my loved ones support me even if they do not agree with decisions I make. No matter the outcome of a decision I've made they are there to help put me back on track.

Therefore, this is me-Nicole Cherise, a daughter,sister, girlfriend, bestfriend, co-worker, Mastered a Degree in General psychology, a Teaching Assistant, a Future Early Childhood Eduation Teacher, A survivor, a Fighter, a laugher, a Smiler a Cryer, a Forgiver, a Giver, and most important a Believer! Those are just few things to descibe me and my loved ones know and recognize that. All the others who judge me based on the clothes I wear, how my hair looks (ignorant I know), the car I drive, the rest of my outside appearance and other worldy possessions can KICK ROCKS, YOU are beyond sad and need prayer.

Love yourself, your true self

updates!!!

hey beauties!!

Happy Veteran's day to all who has served and serves our country, we love and thank you :)

I was a lazy blogger in the past but I'm REALLY getting lazy these days lol. Well here's a recap of things

The job is going great :) I love the children. I even want to go for my teaching certification. Its like sometimes when you have a natural ability or when something seems so right, you have to run with it. I believe that it's God telling me, this is one aspect of duty He wants me to serve.

I'm making alot of strides to do better financially, so my saving is getting better these days lol :)

I miss many of my best friends a whole lot. There are so many times when I wish I could just say meet up with me at Barnes & nobles for hot cocoa but can't. Hopefully, as the years go we can link up more :).

Honey and I are good, pretty happy path. His bday is this saturday so I'm happy to celebrate it with him, even though I may be more excited than he is lol

Family is good...so I am all smiles :)

Well, I will check you beauties out later ♥

First week with PreK

hey beauties!

So far my first week working in the PreK class has been great. I have to say these children have a big personality and are smarter than you think :D. this week the children were practicing for the hispanic heritage celebration. My Godaughter did a great job, I was so proud of her. I love the fact that I am able to be near her especially this being the first time she is in school :D.

beauty & body

I have lost 4 pounds, I am aiming to lose 8 pounds a month because I will get to my ideal by february. It gets a little challenging because I ideally would love to work out 3 to 4 times a week however there are days when my body tells me to rest or take it easy. So I slowly but surely change up how I eat so I shed some pounds and cut down on cholesterol :)

I cut mi pelo a few weeks ago. I used the search and destroy method. My hair feels and seems so much better since the cut. I have to confess that this summer I was pretty lazy with the deep conditioning but now that the weather is cooling off I have to do better because I know better :). My signature style is and will always be a twist out. I prefer my twist out on blow dried stretched hair. My hair appears bigger and it is more fluffier what do you think?


I'm really feeling this fushia pink lip gloss from nyx as well. I will be experimenting with more colors and such eventually, once I have $ that I can spare.

Ok beauties until next time...Later ♥

Being Patient pays off :)

hey beauties!

I always speak on remaining prayerful and trusting God. I am pleased to say that God is answering my prayers. I have a new job that I start on Monday (I will post after the first week). I'm back to working out and feeling better since the summer.

I say to you beauties, whom ever get a chance to read my thoughts...Be patient. God is truly amazing and busy trying to help His children. I know it may seem like He is not listening but trust and believe He is. God Bless!!

Remaining Humble

Hey beauties!

I had a pretty great weekend! Me and the honey celebrated our 10 year anniversary :D
Its great to know when you have someone who loves and respects you. For this being one of the many reasosn I remain humble.

I feel sometimes in life when we are at a "high peak" we tend to lose focus of what is important. Like whenever something good is happening in life how often do we really speak to God? I mean we are so quick to call on God when things are rough expecting for Him to get us through the storm. We have to remain humble in all circumstances in life.

The unconditional love God has for us amazes me. Its like we are naturally bad/sinners however God spared His only begotten son Jesus to die for us! So how dare we to act Mighty High and forget what truly important? Just some thoughts..

Be blessed beauties

playing beautician

I find it fun to style my mother's hair..Now I am far from a professional however Ma trust me enough to wash,deep condition, blow dry and flat iron her hair from time to time.

Today, I did something a little different to the usual regiment for styling. I adding extra virgin coconut oil to the avocado deep conditioner. I also used Jilbere Vented Straightening/Cutting Comb! Her hair results were amazing and like satin!!!

I saw on NIKSTARWASHERE.COM the straightening comb and I said oh wow I need to invest in this!!! Thanks NIK for the vid and suggestion :D!!!

Here are some pics of the results and the straigtening comb.

Some times I want to scream

hey beauties,

Ever feel like this? I feel like screaming alot these days mainly because of crazy obstacles that life offers. You have to wonder at times, when will this be over? or when can the sunshine come out?

I read on facebook at status that said "don't wait until the storm is over, learn how to dance in the rain" this is very true. We constantly sit and wait for better days, for all we know better is there right in our face but we refuse to see it because we are caught up in our selfish ways.

Lets remember, God is able and a deliver. So when you want to scream, trust and believe He knows your pain, he knows your struggle. Even when we may steer away from God, He has not turned his back on us. God Bless beauties

Always Remembered




Hey beauties! On this day in 2001, our country will always remember those who lost their lives and how many of our lives changed after the attack.

What disturbs me is how much HATE we have. When I say we I mean Race..The HUMAN RACE. its like people of ALL religions can be quick to say I do this hate crime for my God. Oh really? I'm christian and I have friends from different religious beliefs and no where in our religious literary does it say " KILL for ME" or involve in "hate crimes". No that is people who do that. We are all sinners, yes yes Its true the difference is that we should try to do better so that one day God can have mercy on our souls.

I'm just tired of all this hatred and anger going on from "religion" to "politics" Everyone is so quick to say "united we stand" no the heck we don't...many of us say it because it sounds good or we may follow it for a week or so but at the end of day people turn their sadness into anger and hostility. I hope and pray that one day freedom will ring.
Please wake up people!

Love...

Hey beauties


People say this word toooo often. Alot of times when people use the word love, it is for their own personal gain or selfish advances. When real Men and Women Love, we love hard. The type of love I aim to have is Love like Jesus had for us...Agape love. It is not easy to possess that type love or even follow it. However I know Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr possessed it. No he wasn't perfect but he understood that no one is perfect and deserves forgiveness...what do u think? is it possible for your generation to practice agape love? love that is unconditional regard?

Go Shorty It's ya Bday


hey beauties!


On 7/23/1985 around 3 pm yours truly was born! I am 25 years young and I'm truly overwhelmed by it all. This year alot has been going on and I feel happy to know that I have a wonderful support system. My coworkers gave me a surprise bday luncheon and my boyfriend took me out to dinner and we danced later.I received many gifts from family and friends :D Its so funny because on tuesday I was just saying how I wasn't looking forward to my bday I felt like it was any other day I think it was just me thinking where I "should" be by 25 and realizing that my journey of Life on Earth has giving me many curve balls. But to God be the Glory, I know I will be fine. I'm very happy.

Please becareful!

Hey beauties,

U ever realize in the summer you hear about the most accidents? or many of our young people dying? To me I think when the weather changes to high temperatures people do NOT know how to act. Everyone parades around half naked, people have horrible attititudes because of the heat and people just overall act a hot mess. I pray that people get it together.

Yesterday there was a bad single car accident here in long island. 5 were in the car in total, the driver and passenger survived the accident.the 3 passengers in the back were killed. one boy who was 19 and the brother of the driver, and the two others were sisters 19, and 22. The 22 year old just got a job as a teacher...Could you imagaine this? how sad is that! There was no alcohol involved, but the police are still doing an investigation.

Please people Buckle Up! and take it easy.

be blessed

I love the way I look

hey beauties,

Time and time again many sistas run into conversation about appearance. I know that within every race and culture women are always judged based on their skin complexion, hair or body shape.

I know some say they get tired of hearing black women making themselves out to be the victim but honestly, it is not our fault. Actually society doesn't accept us for who we really are or what we Really look like. It's even sad to know that because of society "Rules" our brothas are treating us like crap because we may not meet the standards.

If we lived in a better world, I believe women especially sistas would see the real royalty in them. Like we were made in the Image of God. If God intended on us to wear weaves and chemical processes our parents would have received it along with our birth certificates.

During college I discovered myself and whom I really am. I know I am nothing without God. I know God made me without ANY MISTAKES no matter what People or Society says. My skin tone is beautiful, my KINKY hair is gorgeous...Many may not agree however at the end of the day I'm ME and I love it, soooo......GET OVER IT!

People we really need to get it together. We are much more than the clothes we wear, the color of our skin or the way Our Hair looks. We are a people that is blessed and highly favored. Think about it....

Be Blessed Beauties ♥ ♥

Yes another opinion is always good

hey beauties,

I hope all is well. Things are good this way. I received another opinion about my diagnosis.The new doctor as well says its MS. Today I went for another MRI but this time with the contrast dye. This MRI went a lot smoother since I guess we were only look at the head-brain and spine-cervical oppose to the other 4 I took in March.

I feel ok, besides the constant burning in my hands/fingers and legs. Today is so hot and normally days like this I just want to get up and go however now its just not that simple. However I plan to start taking Avonex so hopefully the flare ups will calm down, I pray that God sees that to be.

I'm planning to start a separate blog that is going to be primarily for MS talk :D so I wont bore you beautiful ones with my neuro stuff. however I will here and there post an update and so forth.

Well beauties be good and stay cool. I'm going to do my best to stay cool as well.

Hey Hey

Hey beauties!

I hope all is well.... I hope all the mother's had a wonderful mother's day weekend. I am doing ok. This past week has been pretty rough. I feel as if during hormonal changes and when the weather is really hot the symptoms get worst. So I decided to track everything in a small calendar. so after I get the spinal tap done (June) I can explain reveal everything that has been taking place in the last 2 months.
For some having MS is a big secret and a sense of shame, for me it's not. NO I do not walk around with a sign that says "I have MS" or ask for pity I just feel that being the type of person I am who is bubbly and happy go lucky, there is no way that on my worst days I can hide it. I plan to document any changes or important findings on my blog as well so if there is anyone else out there who is newly diagnosed or veterans we can be more of support together :D..Take care beauties!

Are you a saver or spender?

Hey beauties!

Many of us had New Year's Resolutions to save money or be smart with our spending however a lot of us continue to purchase valuables or things we believe are of high value. No, it is not easy to save every dollar that should be in our savings but as we get older more responsibilities arise.

I will say, something that irks me is when I hear peeps say "Oh I'm Broke, I can't pay my bills or I need an advance in pay" but they planned a trip to the Bahamas knowing damn well they don't have money in savings *SMH*. I always say if you knew better you would do better. However,I've come to understand that for many there is an exception to the last phrase because many were never taught by their parents the importance in saving. If your parents didn't value the importance of having good credit or saving, what would force the child to make good financial decisions? Lets remember beauties that it doesn't have to be this way, you CAN get your finances together, START TODAY!!!

SAVERS work hard and play later..
Many people who save will have advantages. People who are savers may purchase the Home or Car that they want not what they had to settle for. Savers have the choice to have a college account for their children or investments. Savers can travel all around the world as they please...Basically, Savers for the most part live Life comfortably and always have a stash for a rainy day.

Spenders believe they need to have everything they want when they want and not think twice of the alternative outcomes.Spenders have to settle on whatever living conditions they can get because they choose to spend their money on stuff they think are more important at the time. Spenders would save up a lot of money to purchase the latest name brand clothing,jewelery and/or accessories instead of putting it in their bank accounts. Spenders also will spend all their money to go on beautiful vacation but return home with a phone cut off and lights out!

Nothing is wrong with wanting to look nice or spending top $$$ for your stuff because all in all it is Your Life, just make sure that you take care of HOME first! So here is the question beauties: ARE YOU A SAVER OR SPENDER? and if you are in between how are you handling the situation?

Be blessed beauties ♥

loving the sunshine

Hey beauties!

Sometimes when you have been experiencing a bad storm in your life you just question, "when will this end?" or "how am I going to make it through?"...I know because I been there. With a great support system and your faith to a higher being, you will make it through. I can smile because I am loving the sunshine that God is providing me. Not only in the weather but in my life...Loving the Sunshine!!!

MS, No not a degree

Hey beauties!

I hope everyone is doing well this spring. I'm doing ok...I recently have been diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis). I kinda had an idea that was what was wrong with me so when the neurologist told me that was the case I wasn't surprised. I'm doing ok though..taking it one day at time. Do you know anyone who was recently diagnosed? or have had it for a while?

Svrbrownsuga's Thoughts

hey beauties!

I hope all is well. I have so many thoughts that run through this little head of mine and at times my heart feels overwhelmed however, with prayer and support from family and friends I make it. I give myself little positive reminders that keep me going. If anyone knows me they would know that I plan to have my own family center. I plan to offer services to married couples, single parents and children. I have more schooling to go so that I can achieve this goal but in the mean time I am still searching for a gig that will offer more experience. I also decided that I want to add another blog for my advice tips and daily thoughts drop ins..we shall see. I hope another blog can work. Any who beauties, enjoy the weekend!!!

God always have our backs

Hey beauties!

I havent been feeling the best. For over a year I have been feeling a weakness or numb sensation with them and recently about a month ago; my left arm has been doing the same thing. Like to grab something was challenging at times. A coworker of mine recommended a neurologist to me and boy was I happy..until I realized I dont have health insurance :( . She called on my behalf and told them my situation. So a normal visit which could have been $400 I only paid $250. God is good.

Working it out..

hey beauties!

So I have been changing up my diet slowly but surely. Its not easy though, I cant tell you how many times I want to go to five guys and have a bacon cheeseburger and Cajun fries but I resist. I love pasta like it is going out of style however if I eat it now it must be whole wheat. I can tell u that within 3 weeks I have lost 7 pounds. This may not be alot to some but it is to me. I haven't gone to the gym this week because I have been having some problems with my legs and arms. For a while now my legs will get weak and have a numb sensation. I am going to see a neurologist on the 26th so hopefully I can find out what the problem is. but any ways....I am keeping my head up and trying to stay active and fit! Are you beauties working it out? how are you staying active?

No love for momma"s??


Hey beauties!

I remember watching a Chris Rock stand up where he was going on and on about Everything being about mothers...he was funny but accurate.
We do make a big deal when it comes to Mothers however while I was listening to Michael Baisden a woman called and complained about her two sons. Her two sons were 37 and 40 and they never gave her a mothers day card or flowers.. Now I understand we do not know the circumstances but I was really taken back when I heard that. Its like my mother always told me and my brother, You only have One Mother and once she closes her eyes for the last time, she Wont come back. and trust and believe We will need our Mommas more than they will ever Need Us..Think about it...

Bath and Body Works...one of my guilty pleasures



hey beauties!
Yes bath and body works is one of my guilty pleasures. I have been a fan since freshman year of high school and haven't looked back since :D. They have a new promo for the sweat pea and moonlight path scents and I love them!! I actually love the sweet pea forever and moonlight magic better than the originals. They smell sweeter and lighter in my opinion so its perfect for the warmer weather that is approaching us :D. Whats your take? have u beauties tried it yet? Hey gotta love smelling good :D smooches!

Is marriage real?

Hey beauties,

I don't know how many may feel about this but I feel some couples get married for a few reasons: money, loneliness, because it sounds good, pressured and because some believe its the next step to "going together". I feel this is sad.
Whatever happen to religion or family values?

When I get married I want it to be because me and my man are READY to take it to the next level meaning we know each other the good and the ugly. We should be ready to become a one unit. Hopefully God will bless us with a fruitful marriage and we can raise children.

I feel in our generation many are infatuated with the idea of marriage instead of what it truly means. Its like no one takes the promise that they made to God (or whomever else you believe in) seriously. Like I cannot stretch that anymore VOWS are a promise to not only your spouse but to GOD. so when times get rough you are not suppose to turn the other cheek or run out on your spouse. We are suppose to work hard and pray. Pray to God to intervene in the marriage.

Like I always say A family that prays together stays together...

What are your thoughts?

Carol's Daughter Products at Marshalls

So last night I was in Marshall just browsing around I noticed some of carols daughter products there. Now I am fully aware that the jamaican punch is being discontinued so for all of you who love that fragrance I suggest u stock up now. Marshall's had the body scrub, body and bath oil, and the Khoret Amen oil and shampoo. I purchased the groove and ocean body oils and body scrubs they are not my favs but hey at the prices of $7.99 for cd body scrub I cant say no. and the oils were $5.99. the khoret amen shampoo was 3.99 and the oil was either 5.99 or 4.99. Definitely steals. I would have went crazy if they had almond cookie or estasy but I'm grateful for what I did get. So what other bargains have you beauties been able to get your hands on?

Saturday, February 20, 2010

ooooo Spring where are you???

Hey beauties!

Is it me or is this winter out of control??? I mean sheesh yes I expect the cold weather and snow but this is just hype.
I have to ante up on moisture because my skin and hair has been feeling a little dry therefore I'm drinking more water, moisturizing my skin while damp (like right from shower I apply carol's daughter almond cookie bath oil, then I dry my skin with my towel), and using either vigoral's curl creme or missjessies curlybuttercream. I do need to deep condition more however since my hair is in a dry twist out with flat two strand twist on the side I've been lazy lol. What are u beauties doing to protect your skin and/or hair from the winter?

Friends or extended Associates?

hey beauties!

Friend, a word that is tossed around frequently. Many introduce themselves as friends with others and many lie to your face calling you a friend mean while they could care two cents about you.

According to dictionary.com a friend is :
a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.
2. a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter: friends of the Boston Symphony.
3. a person who is on good terms with another; a person who is not hostile: Who goes there? Friend or foe?


So how many friends do you really have ?I am guilty of calling many a friend when they are just an extension of an associate. My real friends have stood by my side when I'm right and when I'm wrong. We communicate well and share a bond. My real friends know me, they know my pain, my struggle, my weaknesses, my strengths and my courage.
Extended Associates know much of what my real friends do however when I really need support, they are ghost. when life starts to have turmoil they are clucking their heels in another direction. They pretend to care however if they never met you, their lives wouldn't change one bit....My real friends effect my life every day. Without them in my circle apart of me is missing.

One of the smartest individuals that I know said the quote " people are in your life for different reasons and different seasons" and as I've gotten older and wiser that quote sticks with me.

And one of my friends stated to me "Nik,I can count on one hand my Real Friends" and I would sit there like true but what about so and so or that one, now I realize my friend was right. My Real and genuine friends are only in one hand, now there are few, and I'm stretching few that I am close to as well. I'm just blessed and happy to know the cinco amigas I have are worth it all and I appreciate our sisterhood. I know that if times get rough they are there in my corner to go to War! Thank God for them.

Black Men don't Respect Black Women?

While listening to D.L. Hugley I heard a white male call in with this statement. As sad as that sounds, is there any truth to that?

Now I have wonderful black men in my life however I will admit some of our brothers are dipping with other women even if they are in committed relationships or fathering children outside of marriage etc... It does hurt that as a black woman, black men are doing this to us. I mean it's disturbing to hear that black men are done with black women. Don't get me wrong you love and have a relationship with whoever you want as long as you are happy however to hear brothers say they are tired of black women for shallow reasons (skin tone, hair, body) is simply SELF HATRED. There is no other way around it..brainwashed by society Period.

Now ladies, as much as I do agree that some brothers don't respect black women, you have to also realize that it's not only brothers. ANY MAN from ANY RACE will cheat, lie or deceive you. So do not think because you may be a trophy woman to a man of a different race that you wont get played.

I just wish for one day that all people will treat one another like they want to be treated, especially in Relationships.
Whats your take on this?

Later Beauties

I hope all is well..I do not have anything on mind really except this one thing that puzzles me. Now I am working out more often and after a workout I go in the hot tub to chill out my muscles then I take a shower and get dressed. now I have my towels and cover up but there is one woman who really makes herself at home and parades around naked...I mean NAKED!!!! Yes we are all women and yes u should be confident however..no one wants to see u strut around with your nips and private parts exposed smh. I don't know do u think its a big deal? or you do it yourself?

New Thoughts for my spare time

Hey beauties!

I hope all is well. I have been doing alot of thinking and I want to have another blog or possibly website where I can do what comes naturally to me, give advice. At 24 years old I have experienced some crazy obstacles and I would like to give my insight and tips on how to get through them. I plan to obtain my doctorate in the future so that I can work hands on with families. I am all about Family Growth. So if anyone reads this and knows the best approach to begin this I would appreciate it. Thanks a bunch!

So you gotta work it out!!!

hey beauties!

So I have been going hard at working out. In february I will have had my Xsport gym membership for a year and I can say since the new year I really have been working out. Attending the gym up into this point was to make sure I stay active now I'm really working and pumping a sweat. My measurements are 34-30-39 1/2 I want them to read 34-26-39 but with patience and willpower I will make it there. I'm really trying to shed a few inches off the belly..uhh not gonna be easy. Is anyone else out there working it out?

slow week

hey beauties!

When I was younger in order for me to express my feelings I would write. however as I grew up and matured it is easy for me to verbally express my feelings. I'm not sure why but I haven't been blogging because my mind has been kinda of...blank. Has this ever happened? however hopefully I will get over this slump..

I did get my first APA journal in the mail today...I like MA being behind my last name :D...
