A Little 'Real Housewives" is Good for You

I have to say, I am a "Real Housewives" fan. Its just because they are funny these women, real funny. Not being invited to an event is enough to get them committed to rehab to deal with depression and other such things. It's so crazy to me that having a certain kind of house or car can bring so much friction.

I am done with a very crazy course and thought that the best way to treat myself was to watch the housewives of Atlanta again...they really have drama! But as i watched i realised that they  have some personality that us women should adopt, yes, i said it, they are crazy, but they also have a lot to teach us.

Nene Leakes' bubbly personality: I like the way she is fun and her catch phrases: bloop, 'i am rich', fabulous...i mean, she can go crazy when she is mad but she is fun to hang around with. We each need a little of the fun Nene in our lives.

Kim's High Self Esteem: not a day will go by without hearing Kim say "DAMN im beautiful, or im so dam gorgeous, or my boobs are great". And face it, is Kim really that hot?? How many of us can actually say we are proud of our bodies or how we look. This video should add a little perspective:

Sheree's Can't Bully Me Side: and now one of my favourite phrases is: "Don't let the cute face fool ya...DON'T". A lot of us take a lot of krap from people because they know we will not fight back. That is how you get taken advantage of and abused. While im not advocating for going into shouting matches like Sheree does, i think its important for us to realize when someone is taking a stab at us and take a stand.

Phaedra's 'Southern Belle' Manners: sometimes you will be faced with some choices, to act like a lady or go ghetto on someone. Well, some occassions call for acting the lady and I think she did that very well when Kenya was flirting with her husband. I also like how she always comes with gifts for her friends, its so 'good manners' like. But this is dependent on whether you have cash and the intention.

Kandi the Boss: ok, her side biashara is a little on the weird but i have to say, i like her knack for business. Even the book of proverbs praises the woman who adds the sheep and goats to the pen! I also like the fact that the money does not get into her head. Sometimes we need to remember to stay steady even when the money rolls in and maintain the right values with the kids, not let them sit back thinking they will inherit all your stuff.

Porsha aka dumb dumb: ok, this is the one housewive you should NOT be. Ladies, you need to be smart...yes, even if your rich or have married rich, you need to have some brains about you because one day the money may all go away and your left without a dime. And also, most men what a gal they can hold a conversation with. At that point you will need more than your pretty face to survive. 265 days a year? Really Porsha! Also, make your own legacy, not ride on that of your grandfather or whoever else in your family made a name in history.

Just a thought.
