IT'S BACK UP!! EMBARRASSING STORIES: Peeing My Pants In Public!!

CLICK HERE

I'm a huge horror fan and I love being scared; however, I didn't think it would cause me to pee my pants. It was a couple years back in October, and that's when all the haunted attractions come out and it's lots of fun. Well some girlfriends and I decided to go to the Easter State Penitentiary in Philly in the spirit of Halloween. I've been there a couple times and usually I will use the bathroom prior to going so I don't pee myself. However, I did not use the bathroom which is why this story exist!! Anyway, I look to my left before going into the place and I was like I can wait until I leave. During the "show" of course I'm screaming and getting scared and all that fun stuff. But then I felt like I needed to pee. Instead of going to the outdoor restroom (it was disgusting btw), I went straight for the bus stop after we said our good-byes. 

So now I'm at the bus stop cold and my bladder is starting to kick and punch with the quickness. I begin looking for a bathroom to use, and I see a restaurant close by. However, the closer I get to it, the more I can't walk because my legs begin to shake. Oh Lord!, I ended up at the Emergency Exit door, and by that time it was TOOOOOOOOOO LATTTTTTTEEEEE!!

I PEED MY PANTS O_O

Of course at this moment, I am embarrassed because a. I'm out by myself with no one with me, b. I have no other way of getting home other than the bus, and c. the pee is starting to make me cold because it's was freezing outside. Think you know what happens next?.....The bus comes! 

*THANK GOD FOR HOODIES AND IT BEING AT NIGHT WHEN THIS ALL WENT DOWN*

I get on the bus and head straight for the back where no one is sitting. I have my hoodie COMPLETELY covering my face from the shame and embarrassment I was currently feeling. But then, a grandmother and her grandchild come on the bus and sit right in front of me. I just pretended like the pee smell wasn't me, and kept my head down. I could feel her move and glanced up to see her face with disgust. At that moment I just swallowed my shame and pride and just rode the bus home. I mean what else was I suppose to do in that moment? 

FINALLY IT'S MY STOP!! >_<

I flew off that bus and ran home like I was a track star. Though it was at night, I didn't want anyone from around the way to stare too close to my butt and notice a big ass wet spot. I got home and told my mom and sister what happened. They were like you took the bus too, OH YOU'RE BOLD!! I couldn't believe that I peed my pants in public, took the bus soaked in pee, and telling you my embarrassing story. But at the end of the day, I learned my lesson. MAKE DAMN SURE THAT YOU PEE BEFORE DOING SOMETHING THAT MAY SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU! It's a great ice breaker in conversations now because I don't feel bad about it. There's been so many fucked up things that have happened to me, but I'm still alive. I'm glad that I can laugh at moments like that where I wasn't comfortable in my skin because I am NOW! 

Thank you for letting me share my story! I have lots more crazy, adventurous and embarrassing stories to tell. 

Love you,

Nisha <3 

Current Makeup Favorites

I'm currently working on a new post for this blog. In the meantime here's what I just finished for my other blog. Hope you enjoy!

I haven't made a blog post about makeup since 2012!!! I can't believe it because I love makeup and wear it almost everyday. I'm more of an eyes look than the whole foundation, contour, highlight and all that stuff. From time to time, I will do a full face minus the contour and highlight (haven't tried that out yet). I wanted to do an update from the last blog post and talk about what I'm loving right now. If you've read 'Eye Shadow Love' (one of my most popular posts), then you already know some of the basic rules when it comes to eye shadow.

Now I want to talk about some of my favorite makeup products in the past two years:

First off my favorite foundation is Urban Decay's Naked Skin Foundation!! I am in the process of trying out new foundations, but I love this foundation. It's a medium to full coverage foundation, which is great if you want to cover any imperfections. I love the range of colors this comes in as well (picture below). As an African American (dark skin) woman, it's usually hard to find foundations that will match me well. Usually they will either have me looking like a ghost, too orange or they just don't have the color. Especially drug store foundations. Most stores don't carry a huge range. I'm very excited to get my hands on Shea Moisture's Cosmetic Line (available at Target). I love their hair products (Review on 'CoffeeNofilter with Denisha' blog)!

PRIMERS

If there's anything you take from this post is that PRIMERS ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND AND MAKEUP SAVIOR! I can't stress that enough! There's nothing better than having a great foundation, eye, or lip primer! Not only will your makeup last ALL DAY, you're makeup will look 10x better from the beginning of the day until you take it off. When I first started wearing makeup, I had no idea what primer was. When I was first introduced to Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer (left). I love the formulation of this primer and it doesn't leave a white residue on my eyes like other primers I have tried. This retails for about $18-$20 so if you want something that is a dupe for this product I would go with Wet n' Wild's Take On The Day Shadow Primer (right). I was actually told about this product through a customer when I worked at Walgreens. When I have the money to splurge on Too Faced I will, but in the meantime this $6 product does the job. 

BRUSHES

When I first began using makeup, I would either use my hands (priceless tool) or the little applicators that came with the packaging (not the best but..useful). Since then, I have been experimenting with different brands, and I'm still expanding my brush collection because I don't clean my brushes like I should! NOTE: CLEAN THEM EVERYDAY!! I'm not going to go into detail much about Every brush, just the ones I'm loving at the moment. 

 To the left: The Beauty Blender which is one of the most talked about applicators for foundation, highlight, cream blush, and just an all over great product. I love that with this product I get a flawless foundation look. After all it's important to BLEND BLEND BLEND that makeup!

To the left: As a YouTube beauty addict, I couldn't pass up this brush. And now I know why everyone on there raves about it so much. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush is the bees knees! Another great brush that does a fantastic job of buffing that foundation into the skin. Can be found at Ulta! 

 QOSMEDIX (below) is a great site if you want to get more bang for your buck when it comes to all things makeup tools. This is great for any makeup artist (beginner or expert), who wants to add to their kit. I found out about this site on YT and I haven't looked back since. Their brushes are high quality which I love and you can get a ton of product for little cost. Though there is a standard minimum order amount (not EXPENSIVE!), you can get things from cotton swabs to storage containers for traveling to your clients. They have pretty much everything you need. I just received my catalog in the mail and I'm in love with everything.

Bh Cosmetics has always been a great find since I've gotten more into makeup. Not only is this an affordable site to get makeup, but they always have great deals to get more band for your buck!!! 

Bh Cosmetics brushes (to the left) is just a few of the selection that they have on their site. They have sets and singles if you want to create your own set! 

EYE SHADOW

NYX Cosmetics is a great company that sells inexpensive makeup and their products are sold at various locations. The pictures below is just some of the products that have. 

O_O whenever I see huge selections of NYX in a store.

These jumbo eye shadow sticks from NYX Cosmetics are great alone, or as a base for your eye shadow to stick to. This creates an even more vibrant color pay off for the look. Aren't these beautiful colors?!?

Once again Bh Cosmetics has to be mentioned due to the fact that you can get a range of eye shadow colors for a low price. The only down fall I have to say is that some of the shadows you have to pack on to get a color pay off more than others. But overall these palettes (below) help you create a ton of looks. Who doesn't love play in makeup when you're bored? *Raises hands*

Neutral Palettes are always great to way to take your look from day to night. Also great for beginners who are afraid of a ton of color. It helps to guide you into applying colors and getting a feel for different looks! 

To the left: I have a few of these palettes and there's still colors I have yet to try. There's so many looks you can create with these colors. If you are like me and love some bright looks, definitely check these out!

Tarte Cosmetics has become a new favorite of mine after purchasing their 2014 holiday set (below). I currently use this palette for my everyday makeup looks. The shadows are like butter and glide on so effortlessly. I just can't get enough of this collection. From the lips to the mascara (mentioned below), they are doing great things at this company! I have to explore more with them!!!

MASCARA

ALL 3 OF THE PRODUCTS I'M ABOUT TO TALK ABOUT ARE GREAT MASCARAS! Starting where I just left off is Tarte Cosmetics 'Lights, Camera, Lashes' Mascara. This product does a wonderful job at lengthening your lashes making yo look like you have false lashes on. I gave my little sister one of these that came in the 2014 holiday collection (above), but she lost it. She cried over this product because it's that great! So that tells you something right there that this product is worth the hype!! 

Next up is Maybelline Colossal Cat Eye Mascara (below)!!!!! VOLUME VOLUME VOLUME!!! This is went back to product. My little sister told me about this and she loved this so much, I had to give it a shot. I completely forgot I had this until I was doing my makeup yesterday. I really like how small the brush is because I can really work the product on my lashes. Also, I gave my lashes a few coats of this product and the happy dance was in full effect!

Lastly is my "use it til the last drop" mascara. Maybelline Rocket Mascara (waterproof formula) is that mascara that just hits the right spot. I've used this mascara for years. I just ran out so you already know I'm going to repurchase this again! It gives a great length to my lashes and the waterproof formula gets my lashes a better hold than the regular formula. Whenever I wear this I just feel complete; since I've been using it for so long!

LIPS

I wasn't always a fan of wearing much lip products until a few years back. I wasn't a lip gloss person because I always found them too shiny (like you just ate something greasy), and sticky! Now that I'm older, I'm experimenting more with different lip colors and formulations. 

Carmex is always my go to lip product regardless if I'm wearing makeup or not. The formulation of this product is great for those winter months to keep your lips from cracking and looking a hot ass mess! It leaves a nice tingling sensation on my lips that lets me know it's working. It's inexpensive and usually has a deal at Walgreens, so you can stock up whenever you run out! Lastly, it gives a nice shine to your lips if you are wearing makeup and want a little shine! 

 To the left: Wet n' Wild's lipstick in 'Cherry Bomb' is a beautiful shade that compliments my beautiful completion. I like pairing this lip color with a simple wing look to give some edge to it.

To the left and right: Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in 'Shameless' is a beautiful purple shade. I always get asked when I'm wearing when I have this color on. The perfect pop of color that I wear all year round. It will never go out of style for me!!

NYX Cosmetics Butter Gloss in the shade 'Eclair'  is the first nude color I have worn. As I mentioned before, I was never a fan of lip gloss. However, this is a perfect shade that compliments many complexions. I like the fact that I can use a little or a lot. Sometimes I will put this on top of my Carmex lip balm to add some color. Oh and the SMELL OF THIS IS AMAZING! It's a mixture between sugar cookies and butter scotch! And unlike the typical gloss, it's not sticky but feels like butter; hence butter gloss!

Below are just a couple looks I've took from my Facebook page. I love to take pictures of my looks up close so you can see the colors better. Also, my favorite feature are my eyes (thanks mommy)! My mom has beautiful eyes, and she was the first person I learned about makeup from. I would watch her get ready for work in the morning as she would apply her makeup! She is an eyeliner person, and I always think she looks like an Egyptian Queen when she wears it! Shout out to Umi for being my inspiration!

I REALLY HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED READING TODAY'S BLOG! I HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME CREATING THIS FOR YOU! WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR CURRENT FAVORITE PRODUCTS? 

TALK TO YOU LATER!!!

WAYS TO UPLIFT YOURSELF AND BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE!!!

Hey my coffee addicts! As promised from today's segment, here's what I talked about. Here's my tips for how I like to uplift and boost my confidence! MISSED TODAY'S SEGMENT? NO WORRIES, IT'S RECORD ;) JUST GO TO: WWW.BLOGTALKRADIO.COM/COFFEENOFILTER

WAYS TO UPLIFT YOURSELF AND BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE

• WRITE YOURSELF LOVE LETTERS. USE STICKY NOTES AND PUT INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES ON YOUR MIRROR, FRIDGE, PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE YOU'LL SEE THOSE 'WORDS OF WISDOM' DAILY!

• LISTEN TO MUSIC (SPECIFICALLY POSITIVE/UPLIFTING) FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE HAVING A LOW DAY! (SET JAMES BROWN- I FEEL GOOD SONG AS AN ALARM SOUND IN THE MORNING).

• EXERCISE TO RELEASE THAT NATURAL FEEL GOOD CHEMICAL "ENDORPHIN". NOT ONLY WILL YOU FEEL BETTER, BUT YOU'LL MAKE YOUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL STATE BETTER. TRY MEDITATION AND YOGA FOR SPIRITUAL HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT!

• EAT FOODS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR BODY FEEL GREAT! FRUITS AND VEGGIES ARE A PERFECT SNACK TO EAT WHEN YOU'RE SAD! WE TEND TO REACH FOR THE UNHEALTHY FOOD TO MAKE US FEEL BETTER. HOWEVER, THIS ACTUALLY MAKES US FEEL WORSE.

• KEEP A POSITIVE CIRCLE OF LOVED ONES IN YOUR LIFE. YOU CAN'T LIVE A LIFE WHERE THERE'S ALWAYS NEGATIVITY. YES LIFE HAS IT'S UPS AND DOWNS, BUT WHO WANTS THAT ALL THE TIME. CUT IT OUT!!

• THINK POSITIVE! IF YOU HAVE A POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON LIFE, YOU WILL BE POSITIVE. WHEN YOU THINK NEGATIVELY ABOUT YOUR LIFE YOU WILL LIFE A NEGATIVE LIFE. RE-READ THAT!

• READ OR WATCH SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. AS I MENTIONED IN TODAY'S SEGMENT, COMEDY BOOKS ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE GENRES. 'THE HUNGER PAINS' BY THE HARVARD LAMPOON AND 'IS EVERYONE HANGING OUT WITHOUT ME' BY MINDY KALING ARE GREAT READS!!!

• GO OUT AND ENJOY THE DAY. I LIKE TO VISIT MUSEUMS AND LOCAL COFFEE SHOPS.

• 'ME DATE' IS A PERFECT TIME WHEN YOU'RE FEELING DOWN TO PAMPER YOURSELF. TREAT YOURSELF TO A MOVIE, SPA, OR YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT. YOU DON'T ALWAYS NEED THE COMPANY OF OTHERS TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO APPRECIATE YOURSELF, AND TAKE TIME FOR YOU, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE ALWAYS HELPING OTHERS. 

• TRY SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT. STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE, YOU MAY ACTUALLY END UP FINDING SOMETHING YOU ENJOY.

BELOW ARE SOME INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES I READ OFF ON TODAY'S SEGMENT! FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR OWN! PINTEREST IS A GREAT SITE THAT HAS A LOT OF THESE QUOTES:

Lessons Learned in Online Dating

I keep being told I need to stop with the online/app dating, but in actuality I've only been on 1 1/2 dates thus far since December. Since I was on winter break from school, I've been doing two things with my life: 1. Looking for another job and 2. Trying online/app dating. I'm ready for the typical 9-5 job for now while I'm in school to save some money because retail isn't cutting it. I was also curious about the whole online dating thing because I: a. I wanted to see what would happen and if there were any decent men out there and b. I do miss having a guy friend/boyfriend. 

Despite that DATE FROM HELL EXPERIENCE I had back in December, I was still optimist about the online dating thing. However, I'm learning quickly that there's too many weirdos to count on these sites. Now before you ask yourself, "how many sites is this woman on?", I'm only on OkCupid.com. I was on Hot or Not, but it got boring very quickly, which was my main reason for getting on the site to begin with...I was bored!!! I would say definitely don't do these sites from my experience thus far only because there seems to not be much success. Hot or Not is definitely for just hookups..haven't heard any successful relationships from there. OkCupid is ok, but I haven't met anyone on there that I would definitely see myself dating in the long term. Guy friends are what I see myself looking for on that site now believe it or not. I may see a cute guy, but when he says something like Skype me or give me your number, I end the conversation. I've been one to send a photo or two (no face shown OF COURSE), but other than that I'm not interested. That's for when I'm bored and need some attention time. I admit, I like attention, WHO DOESN'T?!? I became a little bit of an attention whore when I first started doing that a long time ago. 

PROFILE INFORMATION: When it comes to talking about oneself on a dating site, you can either give no information, a little or a NOVEL! I started with a novel about who I was, what my goals were, and who I was interested in talking to. The more "non-potentials" I saw messaging me, the more I modified my profile. For one thing, people don't read your profile but will ask you the same thing that's on your profile. I had one guy say "what do you like to do for fun?" Dumbass I told him, read the profile and you'd know. What a joker this fool was! I turned my profile into a DON'T MESSAGE ME WITH A DUMBASS QUESTION THAT IS CLEARLY ON THE PROFILE! I find it very interesting that when you place information on these sites, people will message you. I mean that's the point right to message people and see if something will happen. 

There's a part on the profile that ask you to fill in "Message me if..." This is what I decided to put:
Are you looking to hook up or a relationship? Are you really interested in getting to know me? **Where's the traditional men that court women and take the time to get to know them? Not their insides****REMEMBER, I may message you, but may not be interested romantically. I may be interested in being friends and not your girlfriend.**

At the end of the day, I don't want my time to be wasted nor do I want to waste anyone else time. I decided to go on a date with someone I'd been talking to for a couple weeks now. I normally don't date guys younger than me, but I started to like him a bit, so I was interested in going out. This wasn't the outing I was expecting, but if we happen to go out again, he insured it would be different. I'm not a high maintenance by any means, but when it comes to dating there's some things you should always do. Who knows what my dating adventures will lead to this year. Maybe I'll continue to be single because being with me is the best relationship I've had thus far. Once the semester starts up again, school will be my boyfriend. Graduating this semester is going to be the wedding, and I'm MOST DEFINITELY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!!
