I often get the side eye when I say I favor Joe & Tahiry or when I say my heart tugs whenever I see Erica & Rich. I always hear people say why do you like Joe & Tahiry or ewww Erica and Rich WHY?…….Tahiry is stupid Joe is crazy Erica is a smut Rich is all about himself. *Stop record* Why is it that people feel the need to throw so much shade as if we actually live with these people on a day-to-day basis?

What Angela’s Laws Taught Me

Concrete Loop's Founder Angela 's book on blogging

Recently I read Angel’s Laws Of Blogging by Angel Law the founder of one of todays most notorious blogs  Concrete Loop. I remember the first time I heard the phrase Concrete Loop it was in a song that Jermaine “JD” Dupri was featured on and I never remembered the song but I always remembered him saying “You tryna have my picture on Concrete Loop” I always though it was catchy but never knew what Concrete Loop was. Then in 2011 I actually had the honor of running into Angel in the restroom of the Altman Building during Kaboodle 5th Anniversary Event, even then I still didn’t know who she was or what she did but at that very moment  I knew she had to be a “somebody” or a big deal because she was walking in the show. I say all that to say this in reading her book the vibe I got in that bathroom is the same vibe she gives in the book. She knows who she is and that is enough she was not snobby or “bougie” she was actually very kind warm and welcoming. Angel’s book is one of the best books on blogging I have read to date. Not only does she tell you what was a hit for her but she also gives you an almost dummy proof  way to jump start your blog. I love that Angel did not live in New York and in the beginning stages of Concrete Loop she didn’t go to many if any events yet she was always in the know. Heck I live in New York and can barely keep up here she was in this little hole of a wall town and had the head up on all her competition and tapped into a market of people just like her who had the same wants and longings as she did. Another thing I loved about her stories is no matter how much people told her off or may have wanted things about her to change she remained true to herself except for one tiny dress incident that I will let you read the book to find out about. If you plan on being serious about blogging and making it a career or shoot even if you want a good following on your blog to lead to other career paths this is definitely a book you want to pick up guys!

 

I’m Such A Lush Head!

About 5 years ago me and my daughter were going through SOHO having a mommy and me day and we came across a store that I always tried to avoid because of the many smells it had going on which gave me a headache. Now fast forward and there is not a mommy & me day that doesn’t go by with us picking something up. I am a fan favorite of the fresh face mask be careful where you go, these bad boys are hot sellers many times in Roosevelt Field Mall’s Lush there is a waiting list just to buy them (I don’t run into this problem in the city often) I myself use Cupcake a cocoa & spearmint blend that leaves my skin so radiant and soft . What I love about lush is they an organic handmade products made by their team. Don’t believe me? Look on your products once you buy them not only that go online and see actual associates making products. My daughter loves FUN it’s clay, soap a bubble bar and coloring fun my daughter loves it and actually loves baths more because of it! Stop in your local Lush and become a Lushhead! I myself can’t wit to try the henna hair dye (which they will do in store for you for free if you buy the bar there an appointment is needed at most shops) a blog is sure to come following that!
