TOP 6 THINGS YOU SHOULDNT LIE ABOUT COMING INTO A RELATIONSHIP!!

 

“Things come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies.”

 

-Dorothy Allison

 

 

When meeting someone new it is such a *takes a deep breath* *smells the roses*  fresh feeling.  The excitement and anticipation of getting to know that person becomes like a scavenger hunt.  You have long drawn out phone conversations about "Where they like to eat and what cuisine is their favorite"  "What they like to do for fun and what their interests are".  You yearn to know what each other are like on other levels, intimately and longevity. You go on multiple dates to spend quality time together and have a feel of what it's like being in that persons company. 

 

 

Though I've painted the perfect picture of what coming into a new relationship feels like, I have to remind you that you never really know a person until you know a person.  When dating someone new both parties tend to want to make a great impression as to catch the eye of the other.  You both want to dress like a million dollars to show off your impeccable taste.  Wine and Dine at fancy venues to show off your quality in going out.  Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with wanting to make an distinctive mark to leave the other party WOOED!!!!  However this brings me to the subject in hand which is though you want to gain the love, admiration, crush, feelings etc of the other party, under no circumstance do you want to make any of the things you say about yourself, any thing that you may mislead turn into LIES!!!!  Particularly there are six to be exact that you definitely Do Not want to LIE about......

 

 

WHATS YOUR NUMBER??

 

 

Ever seen the movie???  Well this is numeral number one we feel shouldn't be discussed period when coming into a new relationship.  Numbers are in reference to "how many partners you've had".  This is something that both parties should keep to themselves.  This should never be brought up in general conversation because at the end of the day it holds NO RELEVANCE!!!!  What does that matter when the only thing that should is each other.

 

 

AGE

 

 

Aaliyah might've said "Age aint nothing but a number" but truth be told and with the way the laws are set up this is not something to play games with. 

 

 

CHILDREN

 

If you have children in meeting someone who doesn't, never lie about yours!!  First meetings and getting to know someone is not necessarily telling everything, but telling the key points of your life which does involve the answer to the question "Do you have children".  No woman wants to date prince charming only to find out months down the road that he has a shit load of children and vice versa!


LIVING ARRANGEMENTS

This one is key!!!!!  Like we discussed in the introduction to this post, we know each party wants to make their best impression.........however this does not mean that you claim to live in a penthouse in the city when in actuality you live at home with your mama!!!






MARRIAGE GOALS

In this day and age you never know what your getting into with someone.  While one party may dream of a marriage with the house and kids to fill it, the other party could be thinking if only for one night thoughts.  Hhhhmmmm....this is why when meeting someone new and throughout the long conversations over dinner or such you should definitely discuss out in the open what your marriage goals are and if marriage is something you want at ALL!!!!!

EX FACTOR



Last but definitely not the least is the Ex factor, factor!!!!  Everyone has a past and we can all understand that but under no circumstance should that ex become apart of what you are trying to build new!!!  This means no one is going to tolerate the ex who is stalking you while out on a date.  Calling at all crazy times of the day!!! Please check your ex's out once out of your life, Thank You!!!

Autism Awareness





I want to support others with Autism, and help create a world where, as a friend of mine would say, normal is just a setting on a wash machine- Kate Goldfield.

 



There was this kid when I was younger in my class. He was very to his self and very quiet. Never made eye contact, never talked much to anyone and was..... well different. I took as he was just shy and didn't pay him much attention while there were some who played off his lonesome characteristics making fun of him every chance they could. When we graduated I never saw again. It wasn't until I got older that I learned about autism through a friend whose sibling suffered from it and realized that might have been what was going on with that young boy in my class. April is not just the month of Spring showers making way for May flowers. Its not just testing for students and vacation planning for the Summer. It Autism Awareness Month. 1stClassLadies are here to give you the information you need to know about autism.

Lets start with what Autism is. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disability caused by a brain abnormality. It is believed by experts that ASD presents itself during the first three years of a person's life. A person with ASD typically has difficulty with social and communication skills. ASD is a wide-spectrum disorder which means that no two people with autism will have exactly the same symptoms. Though there is no known single cause for autism, it is generally accepted that it is caused by abnormalities in brain structure or function. Brain scans show differences in the shape as well as structure of the brain in children with autism compared to neuro-typical children. Studies are being done to investigate certain theories about ASD, such as the link between heredity, genetics and medical problems. In many families, there seems to be a pattern of autism or related disabilities, further supporting a genetic basis to the disorder. While no one gene has been identified as causing autism, researchers are searching for irregular segments of genetic code that children with autism may have inherited.

What does Autism do to ones social life? The way in which a person with an ASD interacts with another individual is quite different compared to how the rest of the population behaves. If the symptoms are not severe, the person with ASD may seem socially clumsy, sometimes offensive in his/her comments, or out of synch with others in his/her company. If the symptoms are more severe, the person may seem not to be interested in other people at all. When it comes to physical contact some  children with an ASD do not like cuddling or being touched like other children do. This is not true for all children with autism. Many will hug a relative (usually immediate family) and enjoy it greatly. This is usually just a question of practice and anticipating that physical contact is going to happen. A change in pattern or routine as well as doing something in the moment may cause a different reaction from a child with autism compared to one without. This also applies to sudden loud noises, change in smell or and/or lighting. Speech for one with ASD maybe little to no speaking at all. They may tend to repeat thing they hear (echolalia) and for some teens they tone may sound flat causing them to sound like "little professors." Empathy for people with autism never comes naturally and they have a hard time understanding other people feelings. If they are reminded  however, the ability  to take other people's feelings into account improves in time remarkably. Learning for one with autism is different for each. They may learn some things fast like how to read long words only to completely forget them later. They may also learn how to do things the hard way rather then easy way first.

Autism is a disorder but it is NOT  the end. Children still grow to love, to learn, to live. They eat and breathe  the same as the rest f us and though the way they may have to do things in order to co exist with us may be different they are  still ONE OF US!

Monday Message

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one -Bruce Lee

A 1stClassLadies Message

Just as the world is starting to heal a little from the devastating December massacre that hit Sandy Elementary, we are struck once again by more tragedy. On April 15, 2013 at 3pm during which was suppose to be a wonderful time in Boston danger struck. Two bombs went off at the finish line killing three  people (one being just the tender age of 8yrs old)  and injuring over 150 more. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Boston police department, one suspect was killed and the other was captured and is under heavy guard as he is in the hospital. 1stClassLadies would like to take the time and let Boston know our prayers and hearts are with you all. We are wishing you are strong and speedy recovery as the task will not be an easy one.

1stClassLadies would also like to let those that were affective by the Columbine High school Massacre that you too are with us in our prayers. As this month makes 14yrs since two students walked into the high school and took the lives of 12 classmates, 1 teacher, injured over 20 more and then took their own lives know that you are not forgotten. Though time has past, it doesn't change how ones hurt can still ache when thinking about that awful day.

No words can ever change the feeling one feels knowing that their life will never be the same due to an tragedy that they had no control over. We will never truly know or understand why one decides to carry out such a gruesome task but we do know that as long as we remember those taking from us too soon they will never die.... but forever live on in our hearts......

If you don't make your own dreams a reality someone else will hire you to theirs one- unknown

Ms. Kayonne Natalie



Everyone in this day and age wants to own some sort of business. Whether it is cloths, cosmetics, accessories, etc. The idea of being ones own boss is the ideal dream for every individual but the truth of the matter is not everyone possesses "The Boss" mentality. It takes more then just want and desire to lead the vision. Hard work, determination, and having the ability to take set backs, learn from them and move forward is just a few more characteristics required to handle the job. 1stClassLadies had the pleasure to not only meet someone who obtain those qualities but got to see her work first hand and we must say Ms. Kayonne Natalie is on her way up and she is not stopping to until she has reached the top!

Whats the 411... Kayonne Natalie is a 29 year old Brooklyn born & raised Young lady who is more then just a pretty face. Kayonne Natalie is a smart sophisticated college graduate who started her life out as a case worker. When that didn't work out she began her master's program in mental health but that was not the path Kayonne wanted to lead. She felt as though she was not living her life to the fullest and felt it was time for change. It wasn't until stumbling into a trimming store that the vision came to her. After buying a few materials, Kayonne went home, custom made some evening gloves and tested out her finished product at church that Sunday morning. After the overwhelming complements received after church its was a no brainer what she was destined to do. She was to lead her own company and the proof is in her work. She is the founder of Kayonne Natalie company and has been designing accessories since January 2012. The vision for work was inspired by the 1920's-1950's era with a twist of her personality. During that time the women which were very elegant and mature dressed very classy with gloves, headbands, the works. all of Kayonne's products are handmade and gives you the feel of the time period but still very modern. Nothing is done without her knowledge as even her packaging supplies are signed off  by her.

No dream is just handed to a person on a silver platter. You have to overcome some serious challenges to make it a reality. We are talking mental, physical and emotional barriers that at one point makes a person want to give up and never look back. Kayonne is no exception- she has been there and then some. It became all work and  no play for her. Both family as well as friends became second and career moves had to come first. She had to work hard to see results. When it got to hard, giving was in the cards but NEVER an option. Go hard or go home for Kayonne simply meant just go hard! "keep pushing and you shall reap the benefits of you labor."

This girl not only talented in one field either! Kayonne  is also the founder/instructor of the Fashion Freedom Workshop established in January 2013. This workshop allows her to provide an outlet for troubled teens from a state facility ages 14-18 years of age.  The motto of Fashion Freedom is “to explore their individuality and creativity through fashion.” She hopes to one day extend the workshops to younger children. In addition. Did we mention she does her own wardrobe and hair styling. Can you say "Jack Of All Trades?!?!?!?"
Inspirations??? For Kayonne its her grandmother who was her everything supporting her in all her life's endeavors. For a more celebrity like inspirational woman one was not easy. Women like Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Yandy Smith just to name a few. Women who wanted something and went after no matter how big or small.- making their own path and not looking back.
