Erykah Badu Window Seat Video & Lyrics - She's Got Venusity!

Erykah Badu Window Seat video brings many thoughts to mind for me.  Erykah Badu Window Seat video proves she is an artist on many levels.  Consider the location of the video is where John F. Kennedy was shot.  Check out Erykah Badu shed her clothes throughout the video...her back says "evolving" and blood from her wound spells "Groupthink".


I loved it and had to share it with you, especially after reviewing my recent Shedding Light journey.  Erykah Badu is definitely a woman with Venusity!  Erykah Badu did work with L'il Wayne, more later.  Let me know what you think of Erykah Badu Window Seat video and lyrics:



Window Seat (lyrics from eLyricsWorld)
so, presently i’m standing
here right now
you’re so demanding
tell me what u want from me
concluding
concentrating on my music , lover , and my babies
makes me wanna ask the lady for a ticket outta town…
so can i get a window seat
don’t want nobody next to me
i just want a ticket outta town
a look around
and a safe touch down
window seat
don’t want nobody next to me
i just want a chance to fly
a chance to cry
and a long bye bye..
but i need u to want me
need you to miss me
i need your attention
i need you next me
i need someone to clap for me
i need your direction
somebody say come back
come back baby come back
i want u to need me
come back come back baby come back
come back come back baby come back
come back come back baby come back
so, in my mind i’m tusslin’
back and forth ‘tween here and hustlin’
i don’t wanna time travel no mo
i wanna be here
i’m thinking
on this porch i’m rockin’
back and forth light lightning hopkins
if anybody speak to scotty
tell him beam me up..
so can i get a window seat
don’t want nobody next to me
i just want a ticket outta town
a look around
and a safe touch down
window seat
don’t want nobody next to me
i just want a chance to fly
a chance to cry
and a long bye bye..
but i need you to miss me
need somebody come get me
need your attention
need your energy yes i do
need someone to clap for me
need your affection
somebody say come back
come back baby come back
i want u to need me
come back come back baby come back
come back come back baby come back
come back come back baby come back
but can i get a window seat
don’t want nobody next to me
i just want a ticket outta town
a look around
and a safe touch down…
i just need a chance to fly
a chance to cry
and a long
bye bye……..

Phoebe Prince and Denise Cotteta: Mourning Our Youth

Phoebe Prince was the 15 year old girl who committed suicide after endless actual and online torture from her peers.  Denise Cotteta is a 17 year old girl who died right outside her high school in a car accident.  Both young women lost their lives too soon.

Today 9 teens were indicted in the death of Phoebe Prince.  Meanwhile, police continue to investigate to find out the circumstances surrounding the death of Denise Cotteta.  Both seem to be tragedies that could have been avoided.

It is scary to think about how vulnerable our teens are.  Was there no way to save Phoebe Prince or Denise Cotteta?  What does life mean to other young people?  Are teens desensitized to what is happening around them to the point their peers could die?

As a mother and grandmother, it makes me want to hold my children closer.  I appreciate the ongoing investigations to achieve justice in the cases of Phoebe Prince and Denise Cotteta.  The sad part is even in the face of justice, we cannot bring back Phoebe Prince or Denise Cotteta.

My heart goes out to the families and friends of Phoebe Prince and Denise Cotteta.  I can only imagine the loss and pain they feel.  I hope hearing about Phoebe Prince and Denise Cotteta makes every teen (and adult) think harder about their actions and how they affect others.

Tamanu Oil

Tamanu oil is derived from large nut from a subtropical and tropical evergreen tree. The oil benefits the skin by softening dry area, soothing inflammation, improving its elasticity and relieving sunburn. Tamanu oil has antibacterial properties making it helpful for acne, blemishes and wounds.

Tamanu oil comes from the fruit of the Calophyllum inophyllum, an evergreen type of tree in Southeast Asia. It may also come from the Calophyllum brasiliense found in South America, Central America and Caribe. About 44 percent of the fruit is tamanu oil.

Dozen of references exist about tamanu oil properties from Aztecs in Latin America to pre-Columbian Incas to Asia and Polynesian nations. Tamanu oil is sacred to Tahitians.

Tamanu oil is predominantly used in the dermatological and cosmetic industries. Tamanu oil works well for cleansing and combating wrinkles. Another use for tamanu oil is soothing skin after tattoos.

Tamanu oil is beneficial for fighting the signs of premature aging including skin wrinkling. Its antioxidant abilities and silky texture give your skin a smoother look and feel.

Not just for your skin, tamanu oil also promotes shinier, healthier hair. There are an array of product containing tamanu oil. Another frugal option is to purchase it separately to include in your current skin and hair care routine.

Natural tamanu oil is revered by many women celebrating their inner goddess.  Bring out your Venusity with tamanu oil.  Here is a video with more about tamanu oil:
