INVESTMENTS … AI VS HUMAN BEINGS
AI has been the hot topic for a few years now. It has been dominating the headlines over the last few months Gemini and ChatGPT etc. The majority of people either don’t understand or so frightened by the unknown coming. Like any new item introduced into technology we need to lean into it instead of putting blinders on and hoping it’s not happening. Read on to find out how!
BE INSPIRED
They same that “imitation is the biggest form of flattery.” To be honest I never understood the quote nor appreciated being copied. I think we’ve become so ingrained in being like everyone else we’ve lost the magicalness of being ourselves. Being inspired is NOT the same as copying. It means what it says- inspiring you to figure out a style or design that works for you. Read on to find out how!

The new year is officially under way! I don’t know about you but it seems that January 2024 was a huge energetic shift and just busy and filled with unexpected things. Just the stressors of everyday life can make us forget what we initially set out to accomplish for ourselves in 2024...Remember yhor goals and staying open. Read on to find out how!
REVIEW: CLUB SHAY SHAY X KATT WILLIAMS INTERVIEW
I’ve been a fan of Katt Williams ever since I could remember. From the Pimp Chronicles standup, to his role in Friday After Next, he has always been a truly one of a kind and a stand out character. His outspoken and Pimp Persona, has turned a more niche and underground lifestyle, into a humorous avenue of comedy. His recent interview with Shannon Sharpe. Read on to find out why!
SELF-DISCIPLINE, IT’S DOABLE
I can remember back to when I saw my mother and grandmother doing their morning routines. From my mother with her morning cup of herbal tea while listening to her daily positive affirmations; and my grandmother making her bed as soon as she awakened to exercising daily with Jack LaLanne. Weirdly I was amazed by their rituals.
REVIEW: SMYTHSON A5 PORTFOLIO
If you know me then you know I love British Fashion. I like to say I’m tapping into my great-grandfather’s British roots. It was my time in the UK while at University that I truly appreciated the British fashion. One of my favorite Houses is Smythson. My A5 portfolio from Smythson is one of my biggest splurges since adulthood and it gets better with age. Read on to find out why!

CONCERT REVIEW: MEN I TRUST
I first got introduced to Men I Trust in about 2017 through social media. I liked how they were Canadian and just an intimate group who truly embodies their craft. I really got hooked on Men I Trust after their sophomore album dropped. It was the perfection of true indie music. When I found out they were on tour in the Fall 2023 I was excited to see how they would be live. With Men I Trust you never truly know which direction they will go.
Enjoy!
CONCERT REVIEW: THE 1975
I first got introduced to The 1975 in 2013 by my sister. I wasn’t initially sold on them since their first single ‘Chocolate’ was Pop and dismissed them. Due to my sister’s obsession with The 1975 she explained in great detail the lyrics and instrumentals. After some time I grew to love the band and respect their range as artists. I went to their tour and this is my review.
Enjoy!
MOVIE REVIEW - TALKING HEADS: STOP MAKING SENSE A24
One of my favorite things to do is to watch movies by myself. I love just being in my space and immersing myself into a film without having to explain anything. One of my favorite bands are the Talking Heads and A24 released this amazing concert.
NETFLIX REVIEW - THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER
I have always been a fan of Edgar Allen Poe’s writing since elementary school. I’m a fan when classics get retold in a modern way while still honoring the grit they were created. That’s why when I saw the trailer for The Fall of the House of Usher.
With my busy schedule I rarely have time to sit down and enjoy a good series.
AGING PARENTS- PART 1
Let me first begin with gratitude to be in the position to have aging parents. I honestly don’t know if we are ever prepared to see our parents age - where the roles shift, and they need and depend on us ( their children) for assistance in their daily lives, business, and medical decisions.
LIKING YHORSELF
I have found that it is in our best interest to always and consistently be aware when we are not in sync with being our best self. That is being our most productive in our personal and professional lives.
WELLNESS OVERLOAD
From magazines, newspapers, or scrolling Instagram…we are met with information, Influencers, as well as advice on the full-proof way to live, what to eat and take to have the healthiest existence.
QUICK TRIPS = MENTAL RESETS
I’m a firm believer that quick trips will do a total reset for our mental health. These quick trips don’t have to be extravagant and you don’t even need to travel. You can make your current environment a mini spa, do a staycation, or if you like travel. How you totally reset mentally within a couple days is the most important. My example I’ll be discussing is my recent quick trip to Paris.
FINANCE SPOTLIGHT: SAVINGS PT.2
Savings from your paycheck. Hearing this statement might make you laugh out loud but it’s possible! First let’s shift our mindset that we can’t save from our paycheck.
FINANCE SPOTLIGHT: START SAVING
I get it’s the last thing anyone wants to hear or think is…that they need, or should be saving. More so during a recession. Our mindset is that we literally need every dollar to meet the higher prices for our daily needs.
FITNESS SPOTLIGHT: ‘HOT GIRL WALK’
So I’m not one for following Tik Tok or even Tik Tok Trends. One trend that I just kept hearing and piqued my interest was the “Hot Girl Walk.’ This is one trend that I’m glad I found.
JORDAN AIR 3 CEMENT
I am not going to feign being a sport fan, or even watching Michael Jordan regularly when growing up, but I do admit the reason for my love affair with Jordan is due to the timeless cool factor and comfort. My first introduction to Jordan’s was when I was in middle school, and this article of GQ Magazine has Kid Cudi modeling, and he was wearing a high top sneaker I have never seen before.
BOOK SPOTLIGHT: FROM BEAUTY TO BUSINESS
I’m so happy to be doing this review!! We initially interviewed Kiyah at the height of the pandemic in 2020. She was kind and engaging.
Then when I got the email to review the book I was so excited! The title is ‘From Beauty to Business’. Kiyah knocked it out of the park!
