P.O.W.: Can you stand the rain?…Hunter’s Original Clear Smock

Published by

I have been screaming that I am so over Summer…and trust me I am over and done with all of it. My edges will now live a longer life with no heat or sweating and I won’t feel like I have to take 20 showers in one day. When I seen this week’s Fall forecast full of rain and 60 no more than 70 degree weather I was elated. Then I realized taking care of business that requires me to get in and out of the car it is not exactly what I bargained for. Of course, with 3 more days of rain left I started my search for the perfect reasonable raincoat, so I can stand the rest of this rain. Quality was most important  for me because a lot of reasonable raincoats ring cheap, cheap, cheap. After a short search I found style, quality, reasonable cost in one raincoat… Hunter’s Original Clear Smock. These raincoats are priced from $162 – $230. See available colors below.

New Artist: H.E.R…..Who is she though?

Published by

For this Monday’s Music Monday, I found a new songstress that caught my ear. I was listening to Apple Music Radio, the R&B station, and bumped into a song titled ‘Losing’ and I couldn’t help, but stop and listen. I love a beautiful voice, but it’s always better with beautifully written lyrics. She opened with,“My ambition is attractive/My aggression isn’t passive/I promise with you/The butterflies in my stomach are active”, and immediately as a young woman I was able to relate. I then decided to listen to her entire EP and I loved it. Of course, you look at the album cover and can’t help but wonder…who is she? That’s when I put my Google skills to work. First, I Googled ‘H.E.R.‘ and an old movie popped up. Than I decided to add ‘Vol.1‘ and there it was. But as I read some of the articles they had no image to attach to the artist. It was like she mysteriously dropped an EP without revealing her actual identity. When google didn’t give me what I wanted …

New Video: When you get your cake and eat it too…Drake’s ‘Child’s Play’

Published by

You know like I know, like everybody in the hood know that 80% of men ‘want their cake and eat it too’. I remember hearing this idiomatic proverb as an adolescent and didn’t really get it. But naturally with life’s experiences, I unfortunately have become very familiar with the true meaning. It’s true, men especially want to retain their pretty little piece of cake for the feeling they get just looking at it, but wouldn’t mind eating it for dessert. So, what do they do to meet their needs at the half way point… they pick up multiple women and categorize them. Maybe she is great at fallatio, maybe she can cook her butt off or maybe she’s the perfect arm candy…either way they want it ALL. Drake gives us the perfect visual of having your cake and eating it too with his new video’Child’s Play’. I’m a week late watching this, but it’s 12 minutes long, so you could probably understand the delay. Drake’s love video interest Tyra Banks is the perfect depiction of a …

P.O.W.: Life Is Gucci

Published by

I’m back like I never left and the chill is getting real, real! Summer is almost over, cuffin’ season is in full swing, Netflix and chill requests are at an all time high and temps are hitting Fall lows. With all this in mind, mother nature has forced me to think fashionably warm thoughts. Then I bumped into this beauty. It’s aesthetics took me back to the 80s fashion nostalgia with a boxy sweatshirt fit, Gucci’s signature red and green web stripe and the ‘Life is Gucci’ graffiti inspired slogan. This stylish cotton/neoprene sweatshirt can be purchased at Selfridges and Co. The ‘Life is Gucci’ sweatshirt is available for purchase here. I’m clearly a words kind of girl, so the slogan was the initial draw for me. If you know me you know that my summer has been filled with leaving my job, a break up, hanging out, making new business connections, tons of laughing and the new boo. Summer 16′ has been quite a ride and with all of it’s ups and downs I can still tell the story …
