Yes, and really I think more importantly as an adult getting acne is a bigger deal than when you were a teenager. Especially if you were like me who didn’t have the issue growing-up like most teenagers, but you do now as an adult. 

We have always caption having the work life balance in our lives. According to Mark Bezos, he calls it work-life harmony.

In today’s episode, Nina talks with the esteemed sports journalist, Sarah Spain who celebrates her embarrassment by sharing her personal wakeup call to women in the sports media industry. I also got a few girly things you didn’t know before today.   The goal is the make the industry better by being open and vocal about the issues that we still have and the things that women still face so that when women are coming up in their careers they don't feel alone and as they evolve to that more established woman. Sarah highlights situations where herself and women in the sports media industry (or any industry for that matter) have faced sexual harassment. It's an unfair double standard that men in the industry don't have to face.

He shares the feeling of embarrassment any boy would feel missing out on that father-son relationship.

You found the love of your life, and now comes the fun part: building a wedding that reflects your life together.  Getting married is the time to show sensitivity to each others' feelings.

Who does that? Apparently, there's a blue blood family trend Prince Harry, William, and Charles have maintained. So let’s Keep it 100 and be the exes for a second and have an aha moment during this week's episode. It’s an emotional choice even to say yes you’re coming.

It’s time to do something different in 2018. Firsthand experiences that are more than a vacation. So you’re probably thinking what does travel and Keep it 100 have to do with each other.

If you’re new or part of the one hundred tribe, I am Nina Babel the host of the Keep it 100 Girl Podcast. On my podcast, I celebrate embarrassment in a good way.    Ladies don't want the same old thing on V-Day. Yes, creativity goes a long way. So, guys you’re probably wondering what is the first thing when you enter the flower shop for Valentine's Day? Men certainly feel the financial pressure, cave in to hints, or just have anxiety to show up on V-Day. Is this you?    I did an interview with the owner’s daughter Kristie of Lee’s Flower Shop in Wash, DC. The reason I sought out this flower shop is because it was established in 1945 and is still family owned and operated. When it comes to servicing their clients Kristie had a lot of good tips for you men out there.    In this episode, you will learn five takeaways to consider when going into the flower shop tomorrow (Valentine's Day) or any other:   1. Do you know her favorite flower? 2. If you're clueless, learn some leading questions to ask your partner, wife, girlfriend, or potential. 3. A personal spin goes a long way. 4. What you tell him/her after their reaction. 5. You're late. Last minute men and your options.    HOTEL TONIGHT VALENTINE'S PROMO   Valentines day falls on Hump Day this year people.

Dating can be very confusing for both men and women. The #MeToo movement has definitely helped a lot of women and men speak up about sexual assault and abuse. There needs to be a discussion on the subtleties of dating and sex.    Redefining consensual consent encourages women to not play games and stand up for yourself.  I am using my voice and platform to empower women or remind women on how to speak up  and act in those ambiguous dating situations whether is telling a man to slow down or stop when your weren’t comfortable. It’s not a difficult rule to follow, and it should be the rule we all use going forward.   In this episode you will learn:   Learn to empower yourself to walk away from encounters you don't want or setting the pace. Men cannot read minds and non-verbal clues don't cut it.  Every woman in the 21st century has experienced difficulty of saying no or disguising it as an excuse. Learn 10 ways to say “no” clearly and loudly.  Learn to clearly express your desires because there may be a time when you can't.  

Who didn’t have tears streaming down my eyes last week then you missed the biggest feels for 2018.  The Speak Your Truth speech gave me hope that no matter where I come from or who I am it is important for me and you to speak your truth in my podcast, personal, and professional lives. Time is up!   Oprah is the only reason I partially sat through watching the Golden Globes knowing I a powerhouse speech awaits and well deserved award. I love this woman and everything she represents.  It goes without saying but she has graced her presence in everyone’s kitchen, living room, bedroom, and now mobile device at one point in their lives.    When she speaks people listen! Her words moved us to tears, as they have many times in the many years we've listened to you speak.  When Oprah speaks, we listen. We listen to her truth...words that touch our cores, and wake our spirits.    

Cardi B’s reaction. I have mixed emotions with women accept cheating. Is she going to leave? Probably not. Folks are expecting outrage from the wrong woman.   Cardi says she doesn’t want to start over. What am she going to do? Start all over and get cheated on again. Yeah, we all don’t like finding somebody else, but I also have to think some women don’t want to be alone either.     Cardi B is the people's champ right now  for the most part minus the haters or the ones who just don’t respect her. How can you not like her? On a girl level, she represents a lotta of women who compromise their worth.   AMAZON WEDDING REGISTRY PROMO All you, one registry Congrats!

If you are wavering as to sending a Holiday Greeting via text message this week, I’ll make you think twice. In this episode, staying strong will be my Christmas present to yourself. For some reason exes seem to think if they regift themselves during the holidays. We will think its something new when it's really not. Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa is one of the biggest times we sucker ourselves into doing something we would not normally do under normal circumstances concerning people we have cut loose like sending a text message.  It’s the most vul-ner-able time of the year where you’re probably seeing his and her everything between Thanksgiving and Valentines Day. Now it’s Christmas. Difference is there is no him or no her this year and you want to send that text or you're reading one. It’s too much holiday analysis paralysis.    

This keep it 100 girl moment is the perfect sequel. The theme being no one ever told me that.

Women are hormonal psychos.    Did you ever wonder about your ups and downs of the hormones in your monthly menstrual cycle and how they impact your mood, health and behavior every day? If not, you should. This is a lifestyle approach for you as a woman and being in sync with your period is the theme.   This episode will enable you to understand yourself, your motivations, your romantic desires and your health in a way you never could before during this episode.   Today, I am interviewing Gabrielle Lichterman, women’s health journalist and author of 28 Days: What Your Cycle Reveals about Your Love Life, Moods and Potential.   Her mission is to share Hormonology with others to ensure that all future generations of girls and women have this critical hormone information from their very cycle by incorporating thousands of hormone studies to show you how your hormones impact virtually every aspect of your day—including your mood, energy, memory, love life, spending habits, sleep quality, food cravings and health.   Gabby helps women plan their lives around or syncing with their cycle.

Today, I am going to be talking about what it means to be blessed or cursed to be too pretty to be single.    Seems to always happen at family gatherings whether they are my own or one I was invited to where I meet complete strangers for the first time. In fact, it happened a few weeks ago. This is when random people or relatives act legitimately concerned and telling you you're running out of time. Its sooo annoying,  one should have to live a certain way to be seen as happy or seen as somebody.
