Black Gingers: We're Not Unicorns

Tuesday, September 08, 2015
If you've ever wondered what it's like to be a redhead, I have to say it's one of the most beautiful things about me. It's something that people damaged their hair over and over again to get. If you've ever wondered what it's like to have freckles, I'd say that it's great to cover up small breakouts and it I'm bored, I can...

Hip + Fit: Kick in the Ass

Monday, August 31, 2015
If you've never done kickboxing before, you should give it a try. This whole body workout will prove just how out of shape you are and if you were in a fight how quickly you'd lose. My instructor was so cool. And I'll explain why. She's a rapper. Not like a cheesy one, here is one of her songs. Like she got rhymes....

Where Have You Been?

Saturday, August 22, 2015
After a long hiatus, I know you've been wondering where I've been. To be honest, I've been around, just not blogging. As a lot of you know, I moved to NYC in January 2015, so not too long ago. I'm in month 8 and I could not be happier. I have a really bad habit of letting things get to me. When one...

Training for a 5K

Wednesday, July 08, 2015
Yes! I am training for a 5K. How exciting, yeah? I haven't done a 5K in about a year. I did my first two last year when I worked for a financial institution. I had my running buddies and my gym pal to cheer me on. The funny thing about being in a town where you're all alone, you don't have anyone to...

Artist Spotlight: Tink

Tuesday, July 07, 2015
Tink.  She's like a hurricane and you can't stop her. Tink is ferocious. She is fearless. She has the swag of Aaliyah, a flow like Twista, the heart of Lauren Hill but she is a woman all her own. Sampling Aaliyah's "One in a Million", she spun that into a Tink sensation called "Million". When listening to the lyrics, they are open, honest...

My Morning Commute

Monday, July 06, 2015
This is just a taste of a typical Monday. And it sucks. I remember the days when I had to do was drive to work. Yes, there is a thing called traffic. And sometimes, it's not as bad you think. In retrospect, I was used to it. Just you and the open road. Windows up, air conditioner on high and blasting your favorite...

NYC Pride 2015

Friday, July 03, 2015
As I walked through the streets of West Village, I have never felt so much love. Marriage equality is finally legal all 50 states. All the haters want to move to Canada, but the joke's on them. And the fashion, rainbows and unicorns were at an all time high. If you couldn't tell, I'm a proud ally. The idea of marriage equality is...

Manic Monday #1: Unprofessionalism

Monday, June 15, 2015
You hit your snooze alarm 3 times before you roll our of bed. You drag yourself to the kitchen, turn on the coffee machine and make your way to the shower. Before you know it, you're all clean and awake. You head to the kitchen, prepare your coffee just how you like. May grab one of your homemade morning glory muffins? Scrambling around...

Artist Spotlight: DJ Snake

Friday, June 12, 2015
French trap music producer, DJ Snake, came out with the club banger of 2013, "Turn Down For What". He's switched gears in late 2014 with his sleeper hit "You Know You Like It" collaborating with AlunaGeorge. Was it on purpose or were the American's really sleeping on him? I am one of those Americans. I mean this song was actually released in 2012...

Getting Back on the Saddle

Thursday, June 11, 2015
Courtesy of InspireMeThin/Tumblr Being healthy is best thing that you can do for yourself. You only have one body and you have to take care of it well. Food should be used as medicine, not abused as a drug. There are so many things that I could say about health. I've read all the tabloids, books and online articles about weight loss.  I've...

Ultimately, it comes down to luck and opportunity. On the right day, at the right time, in the right field, there are jobs....

Find Your Soul

The words on the walls of the 92nd West SoulCycle Studio I was offered a free class from the SoulCycle team. For those of you that don't know, SoulCycle is an indoor cycling class. It's extremely fun. With the combination of upbeat music, a supportive coach, and really cool lockers... It will leave you wanting more. I woke up at 7:35am slamming the...

I'm a product of the Mitten State and I've moved to the Big Apple. Just like any newbie, I'm figuring life out day by day. I enjoy the occasional pizza slice or scoop of ice cream. I can't live without my earphones, camera and cellphone. I'll never turn down an opportunity without hearing about it; I'll try anything at least once.  This blog...

Just to Live this here Lifestyle

     I'm interested in make-up, clothes and wine. Traveling wherever I can, whenever I can. I'm open to try anything once. Daredevil has nothing on me. I stay true to my lifestyle. I'd like to think of myself as a child of the universe accepting all the products the world has to offer or Madonna.      I'm interested in make-up, clothes...

What does Fitspo mean to me?

Monday, June 01, 2015
Fitspo, according to Urban Dictionary, are images of active, strong, and fit women that promote proper exercise and diet. I'm no Serena Williams nor a J. Lo. But it would be nice to look like them. I mean, they look fabulous! Have you seen their arms and abs? I don't have a cook or a personal trainer. But I do know that your...

Living in NYC, you learn quickly how quick money comes and goes. A couple dollars here and there, you've got a $200 hole in your pocket. B-T-Dub, not speaking from experience. Haha!  Honestly, you can never have too much money in New York. Things are expensive: food, dining, shopping, nightlife. Don't get me started on the non-existent $5 Tuesday matinée. To fund your...

"Complaining is not lady-like," is my mom's saying. Admittedly, it can be annoying. But we cannot deny the power of Monday's. The day of Monday is a universal ranting day. How often do you have a perfect Monday? Other days may squander a boring word choice like "Meh" or "Alright." Monday's offer an elaborate choice of words like, "You wouldn't believe..." or "Just...
