What if I’m just smart?

Plums
If you've been out to the club, have been up on your twerk music or owned a radio in the past few months then you've heard the smash hit "Smart Girl, Dumb Booty" by Tex James ft B.O.B. & Stuey Rock. Now I've had my crazy fun,wear flat or take off your heels, dance til you sweat out ya perm club days & they are long gone! lol! Now a days it's not many songs that'll make me wanna "drop it like this, drop it like this girl!!" but this is definitely one of em!! I especially like this song because Tex James reps the 478 & is a dj at 97.9WIBB, a local radio station of which I am a regular listener. A few days ago he released the official video,…

Yesterday history was made AGAIN!!!! 4 years ago President Barack Obama made history as the first African American President of the United States, and last night he did it again by getting reelected in what some saw as an unexpected victory!! For me, this years election was completely different than four years ago. Back then I was in college watching the results in a dorm with my friends, however, this time around I was at work directing our local newscast. Back then when we found out he won my friends and I ran out screaming onto the courtyard with the rest of our classmates, then took off running to the other side of campus screaming Young Jeezy's "My President is Black"!! lol!

Staying Cute & Warm!: Beanies

Reds
I know you noticed the dramatic drop in temperature and if you're like me, weather ain't gone stop this [inner] runway show! So to keep you Cute and Warm like the title suggests I'll be sharing some of my favorite cold weather accessories, how celebs wore them & how I wear them. First up, BEANIES When it comes to identifying the season's of-the-moment trends, it's best to refer to the hub of all noteworthy styling choices: Fashion Week. That's how we discovered that the slouchy knit beanie was an essential item for fall. As seen on a slew of front-row fixtures, off-duty models, and stylish celebs, the nonchalant knit headgear is a quick and practical way to top off your look.

Happier Than You Know . . .

Plums
I'm not one to talk about my problems, things that are bothering me or things I've overcome, but something told me I needed to share this with you guys. On this day last year, around 10pm I put my life in danger and not for the thrill of trick or treating. I have no reason to lie to y'all so here goes: I was hanging out with some friends at a bar downtown, got a lil tipsy but I was good! On the drive home I was doing my regular tipsy driving routine- radio blasting, windows down & occasionally texting. The highway was 3 lanes & thanks to my phone every time I checked it I ended up crossing over. What happened next I don't entirely recall but apparently the…
