Buffalo Comic-Con 2013

From the very first moment I heard Comic-Con was coming to Buffalo, I immediately purchased my ticket. Surprisingly to most, this was my very first Comic-Con I ever attended. (Yes people I'm a rookie)But I had a blast! It was so refreshing to be surrounded by others who share the same interests. You had the nerdy, the geeky,the eccentric and everyone in between. In addition, various people from all ages, genders, races and walks of life.Believe me,comics aren't just loved by guys,us girls dig it too!

Being black and blonde: My thoughts and experience

African-American women have been going blonde for decades. Etta James, Beyonce, Mary J. Blidge, NeNe Leakes, Doroetha Towels are just a few of the sista's that have taken the blonde look and transformed it into their trademark. It's sassy, it definitely turns heads and not to mention it's fun. But not everyone is a fan. In particular black people. Who can get a little too deep and resentful when it comes to a black woman deciding to dye her hair blonde. What is the big deal? I'm glad you asked...

I'm motivated! Motives Cosmetics

I am notorious for dabbling in various brands, whether its drugstore or department. I believe you should never limit yourself when it comes to makeup.It is always good to try out other brands, just to be versatile and so you know what other lines are out there. MAC, Urban Decay, NARS and Makeup Forever are good old faithfuls but there are so many other great quality products that are extremely underrated! Ahhh my new love.....

My rant: I can't just "get over it"

I wrote this post a month and a half ago.I was a little reluctant to "share" this but I decided go ahead and be brave. First off I'll start by saying I'm proud to be black. Our people have created and cultivated this country.Our culture has it's perks. We are beautiful, strong, creative and God fearing. We are also the most imitated race. Our style, music, and culture as a whole. Yet with all it's beauty comes an ugly side. Living everyday as an African American can be down right daunting.

Quick take:Daft Punk Random Access Memories

Punk. Disco. Pop.Futuristic . Brilliant. Creative. These are just a few words to describe them. Daft Punk's album Random Access Memories gives us listeners such an infusion of various genre's of music. French Duo  "Guy-Manuel" de Homem-Christo  and Thomas Bangalter never disappoint when it comes to creativity. I became a fan of them when I  first heard the Tron: Legacy Soundtrack in 2010. It was nothing short of amazing.

Quick take on Emeli Sande's Our Version of Events

 Emeli Sande is an artist I cannot stop talking about. Whether I'm straightening up the house or practicing dance, I always have this album playing in heavy rotation. If you're like me, you tend to like the underdogs, which in my opinion, Emeli is. She is so unbelievably gifted and unique. A real stand out artist.

Our Version of Events is an album that should definitely be in your music arsenal.

My 13 most biggest pet peeves

We all have things that just get under our skin....and it can be the most simplest minuscule thing. Nothing at all earth shaking or deep. Even with a patient spirit, that pet peeve may not be annoying to some but that "thing" drives you insane!  I sat and really thought about it. It was very challenging to just narrow these down to 13. Why 13? Because the typical 10 just wasn't enough.
