Royal Wedding Madness!

2011-04-25T07:40:00.001-07:00

We're sure it probably requires some crazy feat of industrial engineering to make gazillions of heart-shaped doughnuts, and that anyone who does so is no doubt proud of the accomplishment. So we didn't want to fault Dunkin' Donuts when they announced their Royal Wedding doughnuts last month — even though they are so blatantly just repurposed Valentine's Day doughnuts. (See the photographic evidence, above.) But still, we can only wonder why the vanilla-icing-with-a-chocolate-drizzle combo, according to Dunkin', "signifies the love between Prince William and Catherine." Anyway, they're officially available in the tristate area for a week starting today, so you have a little bit of time to stock up before the nuptials on Friday.

Philippians 3:10-12

I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. (NIV)

2011-04-19T08:46:00.002-07:00

If you didn't know Coachella is going on this week in California! I like to call it the Woodstock of Concerts, cuz its held with a big stage with some of the top artists and its on a big lawn. Anyway Kanye West performed this past Sunday with an hour long Live performance presented by VeVo. He came on Stage with this little number! A Shirt from Celine SS 2011 collect and I actually think if I didn't see that it was a woman's shirt. I would have thought it was a men's piece. But since Kanye is such a trendsetter he can get away with this.

The Black Queen of England

2011-02-15T14:34:00.004-08:00

England's first black queen, mother of the black prince. Queen Phillipa was no only the first British black queen, but a woman no one really talks about or really know. Philippa was the daughter of William of Hainault, Who at that time was a Lord. He and the King of England, Edward II that their children would be marred, the future Edward III. Described as a woman with brown & black uncombed hair, and deep brown eyes this woman would later rule a country as the first black queen of England. When she was 15, they married and were crowned King and Queen in 1330, then became pregnant with her first child and only 17. Philippa was a remarkable woman. She was very wise and was known and loved by the English for her kindliness and restraint. It is unknown when Queen Phillipa died, but it is awesome to know she was black and all things are possible. Long live the Queen...

In the second picture is Trinidad's first female prime minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. College educated, and having served as key leaders already in a man driving world, they prove that with working hard you can achieve anything you put your mind to.

Happy Black History Month! The brush is the one thing woman around the world could not imagine to go day to day without. An African American named Lydia O. Newman who is also a New Yorker patented the brush in 1898 on November 15th. Her invention allowed easy cleaning by having an detachable unit that carried the brush and bristles. Thank God for the Brush cause Lord knows I use it every day, Thank you Lydia O. Newman!

Dark Chocolate for Valentine's day!

2011-02-01T14:38:00.004-08:00

Why is Dark chocolate better for you than Milk or white chocolate? Dark Chocolate is an antioxidant that helps defend against heart disease and other ailments. Now I'm not saying go out and buy a pound of Dark Chocolate but have it in moderation, instead of having white or milk or white have dark; and the darker the chocolate the MUCH better it is for you. I suggest Ghirardelli's dark chocolate with rasberry filling squares. The squares are perfect for a snack and taste amazing even though dark chocolate taste yucky! So when your BF or Hubby wants to get you chocolate remind him to get Dark chocolate it could save your life.

Basically the same sort of thing we’ve already seen in other places, but with that added H&M cool factor, new colorways and fabrics, and (hopefully!) lower price point that we’ve come to rely on.

At 3am January 15th I received a call about someone who has been recently getting away with murder at my job, that he was arrested earlier yesterday. Now for a couple of days I haven't been able to hold it together tearing up at work, because I was so upset that they were doing wrong and the others were getting blamed for it. I whispered to the Lord, please help me hold it together and I instantly calmed myself, and finished my shift. Let it be know if you are a child of God and things aren't going well now matter what is it, talk to him and let it be known Jesus will ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK!!
