Nubia's Nonsense: dc comics

Hey Nubians,

I follow DC Comics on Instagram and about 2 weeks ago I saw they posted the image above reading "Wonder Woman Day June 3, 2017". I was excited about it but I still haven't heard any news about it and the photo had no caption. It's kind of a mystery for now.

I was very upset at the end of last year when the United Nations stripped Wonder Woman of her Ambassador role less than 2 months after she was awarded with it. I believe she served as the perfect figure for empowering girls and women. Truly the message she sent was immensely more valuable to me than if she was 'real' or not. However people were protesting about her appearance being too sexy amongst other things which in my personal opinion misses the whole point (~~Haters~~).

Anyway, the new Wonder Woman film starring Gal Gadot is set to be released June 2nd... coincidence? I think not! It's going to be a glorious woman empowering weekend! Nice job DC Comics! Plus we get to wear cooler clothing because of the weather so yay! Cosplayers are going to have a hoot with this one. Perhaps I shall get involved in the cosplay adventures myself.

Being that it's #ThrowbackThursday and all... A few years ago I wrote a post about finding your inner Wonder Woman and thought I would re-share it below. The struggle to find your inner Wonder Woman might be one of the hardest journeys in your life but she's in there, so never stop. Life is tough but we can all prevail.

Sometimes I ponder... Why are we so hard on ourselves? Maybe I shouldn't Sometimes I ponder... Why are we so hard on ourselves? Maybe I shouldn't say "we" but I know I am. I mean, people always give me a lot of credit and tell me what a great job I'm doing with certain projects or daily activities and I feel like I never truly believe their compliments... Is that strange? Perhaps I haven't fully found my inner Wonder Woman.

A few ways to keep your inner Wonder Woman in tact

Believe in yourself
Know that you are beautiful inside and out
Look back at your prior achievements/success
Only look back for positive reasons
Keep working towards your dreams
Take a step back and realize how many lives you've touched
Know that YOU make this world a better place
Be nice to others (good karma)
Smile!
Spend quality time with loved ones
Take personal time for yourself (peace of mind)

Wearing Alice & Olivia for Payless booties, H&M shorts, Material Girl Belt, gla.MAR.ous headband, Misc Corset.

Don't battle yourself.

All super heroes need their faithful companions by the way.

I think I'm discovering my inner Wonder Woman a bit more everyday. I push myself hard and when I reach my goals I am NEVER satisfied! It's a good habit at times because I strive for more but it's a tough habit to live with nonetheless.

So I'll give you the same advice I've been giving myself for a while.... "Place your goals in the sky and go after them.... Can't fly? Well learn or find another way to reach them" The payoff will most likely be well worth it.

You can interpret that in whichever manner suits you best. I promise you, it's a good thing.

Toodles,

P.S. Tis no secret I love comics eh?

Hey Nubians,

Awesome friends give awesome gifts!

Never fear! I am here to give you some great gift ideas for your beautiful friends this holiday season. From dresses, shoes, purses, makeup and more. I think we've all been hearing the christmas bells ringing.

I think the secret to giving fabulous gifts is to get a bit personal. You have to know what kind of style your friend rocks, what does she watch on TV?, What does she like to read? What does she do on the weekends? This way you can get a vibe of things your friend will enjoy that are a bit out of the ordinary.

Below I have made a gift guide that matches my characteristics a bit that some of your friends might have too! Fun, bright, nostalgic, geeky, outgoing, and peaceful. Something for every occasion.

This fringe dress speaks volumes. It's stunning and would be perfect for New Years Eve. You can find it at Asos HERE.

Even though I like to be fun and bright ,I'm loving the minimal design of this Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera . This is a great gift for anyone because it's small and prints cool photos right away. Check out this fun Polaroid camera on Amazon HERE.

This Novelty Eye Mini Zip Purse from TopShop is so kawaii. It's something fun to throw in a bigger purse and carry your money in. Check it out HERE.

I love foxes! When I saw this adorable scarf from ModCloth I immediately knew it would make the cutest gift. It looks pretty warm too and of course is cruelty free. Check it out HERE.

Everyday is a good day to feel like a Queen and wear your crown. I love this gla.MAR.ous royal beanie. The hot pink color will make any outfit pop and the detail on the crown is so pretty! Check it out HERE.

You may have seen ColourPop all over YouTube lately, they have some beautiful matte lip colors. I thought this was a very nice starter kit of lip colors for only $20. Times Square- muted pink beige, Bianca- soft dusty pink, Be Merry- mid-tone true warm pink, Glitter- rich red- violet, Last Dance- true brick red. The colors are gorgeous! Check them out HERE.

I am a HUGE horror movie fan. I've also been getting more and more into cooking. I thought this apron with characters such as Dracula, Wolf Man, Mummy, and Frankenstein so sick! I love the polkadots and retro flair too. This looks like so much fun to wear in the kitchen. I might have to buy it for myself soon. Check it out HERE.

Every girl needs a nice boot selection. These silver ones from H&M reminded me of outer space! Check them out HERE.

This Ghostbusters Stay Puft Marshmallow Face Mug from Think Geek is another must have for the kitchen. My favorite thing about it is how it features both the nice and evil side. I wouldn't mind sipping some coffee or tea out of this. Check it out HERE.

If you love DC Comics and Pinup Girls, this would be a sassy addition to your robe collection. This Batgirl robe from the DC Bombshells series is available HERE.

Here's something for everyone. I've been absolutely obsessed with loose tea leaves lately. I used to always go to Teavana but recently one of my friends introduced me to David's Tea and I've become quite the customer. It's a bit more affordable and has an out of this world selection of delicious teas. They have very nice tea sets too. Check it out HERE.

Last on the list for today, is this Betsey Johnson telephone purse. The phone purse is very charming and also features a retro phone headset that plugs into any cell phone. My favorite part about it! Check it out HERE.

Cheers!
