Yes We Did!!

Obama won!! The best man truly won the election, words can't express the joy and happiness I feel right now! It feels like a New Year and it really is a new year, a new era. The best man won the job and far exceeded the expectations of every poll. Thanks to everyone who went out and vote. 

I Voted Today!

Here in Miami at my local polling place the wait time was about an hour, between getting in line and actually getting my ballot, but it also had a lot to do with my last name (the A-G's were in full force). It was amazing to see whole families at the poll, grandmothers with their grand kids, moms and dads, sisters and brothers it was amazing. So if you haven't done so get out and vote!! And depending on your poll the lines may be long so here are a few songs that you can listen to on your Ipod while you wait:

1. I Decided by Solange

2. Get Up, Stand Up by Bob Marley

3. Exodus, Bob Marley

4. Jamming Bob Marley (seeing a Theme here?)

5. Anything by Bob Marley

6. Anything by Stevie Wonder

7. Good Morning by Kanye West

Enjoy this day! 

Get a Fierce Flush

Ok, that's it I am totally in love with Tarte cheek stains!! They are easy to use and work on a variety of skin tones (I should know I tried one stain on each of my sisters). Right now I am totally in love with fierce a little tube featured in the tres cheek a cute little set that features three different colors.




The company also has a set of great lip glosses, while at Sephora this weekend I was disappointed to find that they didn't carry a foundation in my color (I'm a 5 in Clinique loose powder). Their eye, lip and cheek products are worth giving a look.

I'm Baaack!!

I know it's been more than a month but I have lots and lots of news to share, starting with my trips to Atlanta and Washington D.C. each for less than 50 bucks!! My first deal of the new and improved blog is the Spirit Air $9 fare club, for a 60 day trial and $9 you can get awesome deals on roundtrip flights to Las Vegas, New York, L.A. and even the Bahamas. Right now you can travel with fares that start as low as $2.

Enjoy!

Fall Premieres

Labor Day has come and gone and the start of the new season for television begins today...it started off right with the premiere of Gossip Girl and Prison Break and continues this week with the series premiere of the new 90210 and the season 4 premiere of Bones. I will definitley make an effort to watch each of these shows. What shows are you looking forward to? You know the drill drop me a line in the comments.

The end of labor day also marks the start of New York Fashion Week with the Mercedes Benz Spring/Summer fashion show starting Sept. 5, unfortuneatly I won't be able to attend this year but I will keep you guys up to date with the latest and greatest in Spring Fashion and possible trends.

In Remembrance

Today marks the seventh anniversary of the death of singer and actress Aaliyah, one of my favorite entertainers I still remember when I first caught on to her music with "One in a Million." She went on to star in a few films and make hit records with producers Timbaland and Missy E., she also had great dance moves in her videos, often with choreography by Fatima Robinson.

I know that the sky was the limit for the talented singer/actress who was taken from us too soon and inspired so many. Aaliyah was in the words of Martin Payne "Classy without showing all the assy," something many singers today can learn from.

MashBook

So, Miss Info has a few excerpts from Faith Evans' soon to be released book Keep the Faith...peep excerpts here (courtesy of theybf.com). There Faith writes about her first meeting with Tupac and what Biggie did when he found out that she allegedly slept with him...I don't know like Rick James said "Cocaine is a hell of a drug." Anything is possible...
