Blogger To WordPress Switch

So I am officially a WordPresser!…YES…I’ve done the switch, so let me tell you it was easy. WP can import straight from Blogger. I just made a switch today and I am kinda liking this switch (crossing my fingers).The only main thing that made me switch is WP’s mobile app that  let you easily update and manage your blog from an optimized smartphone user interface. You can easily create new posts, add media, manage comments, and more.

I signed up for WordPress a while back, but was having hard time trying to figure the whole thing  out.I have been using Blogger  for so long and have gotten used to all the features and was able to do a whole lot  esp when it comes to customizing templates,HTMLs and CSS code edits.

I was able to import all of my previous posts from Blogger to WordPress and without deleting my Blogger blog~~Yaay~~The only thing though, some of the codes comes up broken, So I guess I need to work on figuring out the problem.I am on the learning process and I hope you’ll bear with me during this transition period. Hopeful I made a wise switch.

We need to think, take action, to create new visions, unite and protect our planet. At home, in classrooms, at work, in the community come together or make a stand for Mother Nature: reduce your carbon footprints and look good doing it! ”This is an earth issue. It’s a water issue, it’s a soil issue, and it’s a critter issue. With apparel, it’s simple: we can all do out part simply with what we wear.” -Greg Alterman, Alternative CEO and Creative Director.
When it comes to fashion,Eco-friendly fashion is a now hot trend. And you dont have to sacrifice style or pay an arm and a leg to get eco-friendly trendy clothes.Different people define eco-friendly fashion differently but some of the key elements to eco-friendly fashion are materials and processes used by designers and manufacturers that are friendly to you and the earth. This may include materials such as organic cotton, bamboo, flax and hemp, among others that are biodegradable. Or use of processes that are organically safe and eco-friendly. Read more

It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit. But that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result. — Mahatma Gandhi

Skin Beaching=Skin Cancer

All skin tones represent various shades of beauty. There are beautiful people in all racial and ethnic groups. We should not devalue people because of their skin complexion being different from ours. Many people feel that they are lower because they skin complexions are darker. 
Nothing annoys me more than seeing these beautiful young Black and surprisingly Asian women changing their skin colors so they can appear whiter, or lighter than they were before. Obviously they dont understand the side effects of bleaching their skin and the significantly increasing risks of skin cancer.Did you know that Black skin and Asian skin have thicker and more compact dermis than white skin. This is also explains why blacks and Asians have fewer facial wrinkles than whites. I bet you didnt know that!
Most of these whitening products contain a lot of harmful ingredients for your skin.
Mercury – poisons the bloodstream, therefore toxic when used in cosmetics. You’ll have an idea more or less what happens if your blood is infected with a deadly toxin, which can cause kidney or brain damage.
Hydroquinone – has been banned in Europe and Asia because it has been found to be carcinogenic, makes the skin hypersensitive to the sun, and thus can cause skin cancer.
Steroids – can lead to thinning of the skin and produces stretch marks. It isn’t good because a thinned skin is also prone to skin infections.
Our solution to the problem lies in our need to increase and inspire confidence about the beauty of the black skin. Do something positive to counter your low self-esteem. Take advantage of the good parts of your body or talents. Girls/Women .. you are beautiful the way you are! Be proud of your heritage.

Gabourey Sibide Talks About Being Left Out From March 2010 Vanity Fair Cover

Posted on by

Vanity Fair’s March issue came out a couple of weeks ago with a fold-out cover featuring nine young actresses to represent ‘The Fresh Faces of 2010.’
Abbie Cornish, Kristen Stewart, Carey Mulligan, Amanda Seyfried, Rebecca Hall, Mia Wasikowska, Anna Kendrick, Emma Stone, and Evan Rachel Wood all had some sort of breakout year, some with more memorable performances than others.
Not pictured was Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe, even though she was interviewed inside the magazine and has the most compelling breakout story of all…
“At first I thought, ‘Hmm, should I be there?” she told Access Hollywood. “Then I very quickly got over it. I think if I were a part of that shoot I would have felt a little left out anyway.”Gabourey Sidibe said as she sat down with Access Hollywood..
My reaction when I saw this Cover was…. WTF!! I think Talent should be the “New Hollywood” and talent is blind to race, size and any other subcategory people use as a medium to gauge success or potential success!
