Girl Crush

Hello Beautiful Starlets!

How are you all doing this Saturday morning? I'm not asking just to ask, I really do have an interest in how you are feeling.

This past week I was just surfing the internet came across a photographs of Alexa Chung. She is beautiful and I've developed a girl crush on her for the past two years. I loved her when she had her MTV show It's On with Alexa Chung, but my crush did not start to develop until after the show was cancelled. I think she is absolutely beautiful with a down to earth personality.

As I got a little older and my style started changing I realized that Alexa Chung had become one of my style icons. My style has not completely evolved to where I would like for it to be because I'm a broke college student, but her style has been one of the many that I've gravitated towards.

They Have to be Wrong

Hello Beautiful Starlets!

I hope the majority of you had a good day. I say majority because I know that in reality not everyone would have a wonderful day no matter how much a would hope you all did. My hormones got the best of me today so I've been very anti-me all day.

But anyways. The purpose of this post is a video I found on JR Bourne's twitter page (@iamjrbourne). It is a spoken word about bullying. This has been such a hot topic and rightfully should be. Gone are the days where we as adults can over look the way our children are treating others. And I call them our children because they are our children. We may not be raising them but they hold the future of mankind in their hands and we must show them what is clearly right from what is clearly wrong.

Different moments in this video stuck out to me for various reasons. I really hope that it evokes some type of emotion in you. It may agree with mine and it may not, but I want to know who you full on the subject matter of bullying, psychological disorders, and the other points mentioned. Just remember to be respectful.

Azonto

Hello beautiful stars!

How are all of you doing? Well I hope. This past week has been quite interesting... there was almost a mass murder at my university. I actually won't be writing about that just yet. I actually wanted to share with you an African dance that I found on Youtube, instead of writing my 10 page paper. I'm not African but I fell in love with the dance and the video. This has gotten me interested in the Haitian dance culture and I would love to find it. Enjoy. BTW, the dance is called Azonto.

Still trying to figure out how she was able to dance in that dress without a wardrobe malfunction. 

i Of The Sapfire???

i Of The Sapfire..... interesting title isn't it? Though confusing, this title sums up exactly the purpose of this blog.... Documenting my life.

That might sound a bit conceded ... like "who wants to know about your life?" Great question and I can't give you an exact answer. Most people won't give a flying monkey about who I am or what I have to say, while others might. I'm more writing for myself, documenting life and my experience living as a Haitian girl in the United States, and maybe along the way something I say might be of encouragement.

In just a two months I will be entering a new phase in my life.... The real world. I'm graduating college with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology, two minors in Health Science and Nonprofit Management, and a certificate in Nonprofit Management. Ohh, and did I mention I'm working on being a doctor too? These next few years are going to be quite interesting, and possibly a lot more stressful than my entire undergraduate career. I will have to deal with the stress of studying for the MCAT and decided exactly what to do with the rest of my life.

This blog is basically going to be about:

Life through the eyes of a young Haitian Woman who is balancing being Haitian, American, and a Women in opposing cultures.

I'll post about anything that peaks my interest. It might be about my sense of fashion, relationships in general, future advancements and goals, cooking, Haitian culture, or anything else my heart desires.

Meaning:

i = eye

• life through my eyes (get it.... I'm a dork so you'll have to get used to it)

sapfire = sapphire

• my birthstone. The weird spelling?... I don't feel as though I fit into any standard group of people so the spelling encompasses that feeling. You'll learn soon enough what I mean.
