Girl Power!!

You'd think with this rain and these thunderstorms it would be a little cool. No it's even hotter! Speaking of hot this past Sat. I went to the WEEN empowerment network 'Don't judge me...empower me' tour. It was full of information and very uplifting, geared towards all women but mostly women of color, there were a panel of women for each topic, those topics included health, finances, careers and success and relationships. Some of the women to name a few were MC Lyte (host) Valeisha Butterfield creator of WEEN and she also works in the entertainment industry. Lil mama, Letoya Luckett former member of the group Destiny's Child, Melyssa Ford, Alesha Renee and others. I would have pictures up for all to see but my pathetic digital camera has failed me over the years and now I must do an upgrade or remain pictureless and since I can't go without getting a picture of something It's time for an upgrade! Oh and I forgot to mention their was one man, and that was Hill Harper whoo, he's even yummier in person! the next time I attend one of these events I will have pictures!! The tour was a great idea and it turned out to be a really nice event, I left feeling even stronger and more empowered and believing that I can do anything that I want to do in life. Nice experience.

Fabu-lash Curlers!!


You won't believe me when I tell you what I've came across!! This is so genius, cute and affordable but yet so simple it makes you think why didn't I think of that!? This heated lash curler 16.00$ from Sephora by Sephora is where it's at. No more messing around with those manual lash curlers that get all clumpy and gooey with mascara dating back from to years ago, and no worries about the handle getting stuck and not lifting up and down anymore!! *squeal* just let the lash curler heat up for 15 seconds, start at the root of the lash and comb outward, as if you were putting on mascara. Comb into any shape desired it's even good for those stubborn lashes that won't budge with the regular lash curlers.Apply mascara afterwards for curly, flawless star-studded lashes!!

BET Awards 08'

Hello to all! I have a lot to say so i'm just going to cut to the chase. The BET awards last night was better than last years, I must say personally. My girl Keyshia Cole worked it on stage, even when she happens to get out of breath or make a little boo-boo on stage she comes back stronger.Usher put on a very good performance did anyone catch that look on Ne-yo's face at the end of it? Looked a little green with envy if you ask me or maybe he was thinking that was hot but I got something better? the look leaves me puzzled. I definitely cannot get over Chris Brown and Ciara's dance routine they had together to his single 'Take You Down' It was HOTT! and were all glad that Chris Brown is partially of age so that we can dance in these raunchy, booty shakin' ways to him. I could see from last night's performance that Ciara is no longer a virgin, that's if she started out as one to begin with.Somebody is has blown that back out! Could somebody please loan me 50 cents I need it for the parking meter today! And why did they zoom in on Rihanna's face when Chris and C were dancing? and did Chris the same way when Rihanna was performing? T-pain looked like a damn fool in his ugly metallic and black suit with that top hat I now officially hate, no matter the style or color it's gotta go!! Rick Ross was just down right wrong for what he had on last night! who told him he could come out on stage and do that? I would say up until Big boi and Luda came out the circus show theme fit perfectly, it was a freak show. Other performers were Alicia keys who also had a good performance and didn't we all like how S.W.V, EnVogue and TLC re united and performed with their groups on stage. Lil Wayne tore it up with his performance. I have no idea what he was doing to Kanye when he went on stage to except his award but it left me puzzled and got me to thinking.... Nelly J.D. Fergie and Ciara did great, Kudos to Fergie for rapping her ass off ( I love her!) and Nelly because his body looked oh so good!! Al Green took home the Lifetime Achievement award with performances by Maxwell, Jill Scott, Anthony Hamilton, Al Green Himself and John Legend. Qunicy Jones took home the Humanitarian Award. It wasn't a bad year this year. Oh and my friend is puzzled about how U.G.K won an award for best video of the year when the video was from like a year ago or so? Once again my mind is puzzled on that one! Check out what I thought was one of the best performances from last night's awards, Smooches!

Livin' for the City!!



Talk about hot!! the weather up here is blazing, and yes today is the first day of Summer! Some days are actually getting to be unbearable but thats why you go out prepared. All I've been wearing are those cute balloon and form fitting summer dresses with tights, plaid Capri's, color denim shorts with the hot gladiator sandals, A bangle or big bracelet or sometimes my flip flops. All the hot in style gear for the summer, I've also been hitting up the community pool on occasions. I just recently got a writing gig writing for an online magazine call T.O.U.R-Mag ( turn off your radio) they just had their launch party yesterday but unfortunately I missed it because I had to work. I haven't written anything for the magazine but will be soon. I will let you know when my first article and the ones after that are posted on the site. I'm so excited for this opportunity I'm going to be writing about fashion! (fashion journalism) which is what I'm going to major in . Speaking of majoring I'm looking to apply, register and enroll for classes either this fall or in the spring of 2009! yep that's right the Chocolate Apple is already busy but will be even busier. Don't worry I will make as much time as possible to update my blog frequently. I don't want to loose the precious reader's , viewers or supporters so I felt that I should come and give an update so you won't be out there worrying about me. In the meantime I'm going to sit back on my day off and chill and take care of some business, please everyone out there be cool and do not get over heated!! Yes that is a picture of me, not a good shot I know but the next time I promise it'll be better!!
