Hello,
If you have been here before, you know I am a lil moody so and so. LMAO! But I am a hard worker and since I own 2 other sites soaddicted2fresh.com and gotaloveaddiction.com , I get a tad busy. LOL But I have decided to move my writing here. So peep the new tab that will pop up here soon 
Hey There,
I have been gone for a few, enjoying the weekend and life as I know it but now I am back and I am sharing a new book I am reading. Not new in the sense that it just came out but simply new in the sense that I have not read it before. It’s “Nappily Ever After” by Trisha R. Thomas.
Here is the synopsis (per Publisher’s weekly)
African-American advertising agency executive Venus Johnston has had enough. Enough of the painful, expensive hours spent relaxing her “good” hair and enough of her four-year relationship with medical intern Clint Fairchild, which has lasted too long without a ring. She shaves her hair to a quarter-inch stubble, tells Clint to pack his bags and spends the rest of Thomas’s empowering debut novel building a new life to match the new woman she’s become. Clint, on the rebound, meets beautiful, longhaired and marriage-ready Kandi Treboe and proposes on an impulse, despite evidence that he’s not over Venus. Meanwhile, Venus confronts issues of sexual harassment and racism in her predominantly white Washington, D.C., firm, where she begins to receive threatening notes. The crisis at work fuels Venus’s fears that she’s not strong enough to survive her new freedom. Has she made a mistake by abandoning the security of her boyfriend and her long, straight hair? Kandi develops into a complex character, with her own set of concerns and a sense of humor about the lovers’ triangle. Her perspective provides an interesting counterpoint to Venus’s obsession with the consuming culture surrounding black women’s hair. Clint’s confusion over his choice between the two women is treated honestly, and Venus’s discovery that she has moved to new psychological territory carries emotional weight. This exploration of an African-American woman’s journey to self-acceptance is not without flaws (spotty writing and loose ends tied up too fast), but Thomas refuses to let her characters slide into stereotype, and she keeps the pace fast and funny.
This book is the first in a series that I plan to read…I cannot wait to get started. I will post a review soon!
Unlike soooo many females, I am a sports fan!
My teams are all Boston teams. The teams from my birthplace. Yes all of them, the Red Sox, the Patriots, the Red Wings, and of course the Celtics. I have loved each one of these teams when they could not win to save their lives and I still do!
That being said….GO CELTICS!
I am a super music lover! So much so that I work in the industry (sssh!) So when I heard Janelle Monae who I have followed since she was doing shows and building her following in Atlanta was finally giving us some of her full length funkiness…I was dumb excited and she did not disappoint at all. I have to tell you that she is super different but if you are a music lover, you have to take a listen!
Choice cuts:
-”Tightrope”
-”Say You’ll Go”
-”Babopbyeya”
Oh and Thank Me Later!!
If you will learn anything about me, you will learn that I am the absolute worst at saving money and believe me I try. So I am aiming to nip my bad habits in the bud! I have started my very once “3, 5, 7″ Challenge. Here is how it works:
Get yourself a large jar. Then you follow this simple schedule:
-Monday: Put $3 in the jar
-Wednesday: Put $5 in the jar
-Friday: Put $7 in the jar
Total: $15 per week; $60 per month
At then end of 12 months you will have $720
Imagine that!!! Yes it will hurt and that’s why you have to commit to it, but just set a goal for yourself of what you will spend the money on! Im going on a trip! What are you going to do?
I lovvve popcorn but the addiction I have lately is downright shameful LOL. I am hooked on Garrett’s Popcorn. Particularly the Pecan Caramel Crisp! OMG! Now Chicago peeps have known about it for years. Garrett’s has been around since 1949 and they have soo many assortments. They are family owned and operated. Go and try some! But if you are not near a Garrett’s, then visit them online Garrett’s Popcorn They are a little pricey but you will never regret it!
Although many of us have journals and love to document our lives, emotions and milestones, everyday is not some exciting adventure and you may not have much to say. If you are anything like me, sometimes you just do not have it in you…for those day, I would like to introduce you to a product I absolutely adore…Keel’s “Simple Diary”
This is the perfect diary for a slow day or for a person that wants to let some things out but their hectic schedule will not allow for a long writing sessions. Cute and compact, you can throw it in your bag and go. Happy Journaling!
This the one of the best lotions/cremes that I have ever used and I am super picky about what I put on my skin. The Body Shop Spa Wisdom Maroc Body Souffle is just creamy enough without being too thick. It has argan oils from Morroco and will leave your skin soft and supple. Try it now and thank me later.
