Flashing Lights Vid #3

Take 5

I am very much into alternative medicine and yoga and chakra meditations and tha like. For a few weeks I had been waking up with a stuffy nose that would last all day. Turns out I was sick and did not know it. Ultimately rest would clear it all up.
But I also attribute a series of breathing exercises that a friend introduced me to. While surfing through the web I came across a video that demonstrated this very technique. Check it out!

Fashion First

So I have blogged about the Backless Bra from Maidenform. I was reading a Jet Magazine (may 12) and read that the inventor, , is a black woman. I love it.
Here is how the bra works and please, do your fashionista duties and buy this bra....you know you like wearing those tittie-tops from Forever21!

Grown Man On-->> Suits

Today I am moving from the bay to L.A. I will be traveling all day but I got a request for some mens fashions. I know nothing bout this but am curious as I hope to someday shop for a man that I have been dating longer than a month and who appreciates a woman who would even take the time.
This is the first entry; I thought it fitting to kick off the week with Suit Buying 101.
Alright, I have got to get some sleep and get on the road early and come up with a tag and label for this blog segment...perhaps the gentleman making the request has a suggestion as well;-)
Enjoy.

Take 5-->> Quotables

God is my true life. It cannot be otherwise. God leads me; God trails me; God holds me in the arms of spiritual love. I let my thoughts remain fluid, never static or stagnant. Indeed, I stand ready for each breaking inspiration.

Baller On A Budget

One of my favorite sites, The Frugal Fashionista has featured one of my favorite Celebs in a hot look for less.

I am so still on the skinny jean for day or night. Maybe it's because I am tall but the style works with knee-high boots, ballet flats and of course stilettos. Here is Mrs. Paltrow does it up real nice and casual.

Pardon My French

I have no journal
so here it goes
a place to hold
my dreams, hopes and goals

Three things I’m grateful for
Hmm, let’s see
The roof over my head
Picked up a new mix CD
and that boy Kwe kissin’ on me;-)

Ha, ha there you go
Thats three
Nothin’ left to do but be easy

Artist; You Know Bout This?

So tonight I went to a dinner at Lavende East sponsored by the Red Bull Academy of Music. I knew nothing bout the event other than dinner at Lavende East which I had not checked out. Delicious by the way, I need to yelp them;-)

Anywhoo, so for the past 5 years Red Bull sponsors a two week retreat, putting a group of:

DJ's, producers, MC's, singers, sound engineers, broadcasters, laptop lapdancers, soulful songwriters

together to learn, create, network and work within the host city/country. It's in Barcelona this year.

I love when a brand that I buy is giving back to the community and to me in some way. I like to party and thus I like Red Bull. Without this shot of adrenaline, I fear that I might not be able to fit in all of the mischief that I like to get into;-)

Go Red Bull. Go Me. Go print out your application cause it is long, needs to be handwritten and is due May 19th!
