Off With the Pink&White

Hello All!

A week ago I did away with the pink & white and showcased my nails. HA!

They are really soft and fragile right now so I have to be really careful. I started taking the vitamin Boitin (for healthy skin, hair, and nails).

So far so good...

Let's have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

Fifty Shades of Grey

Hello All!
I started reading Fifty Shades of Grey on Saturday. After hearing all of the hoopla surrounding this book, I decided to jump on it and see what it's all about.
I've heard it called the 'mommy porn', that it has been banned from some libraries because of its sexual content.
I have also read an article that says the book is good for married couples.....hmmmm

So with about a quarter of the book left to read....I like it! HA!!!

                                                             
                                        Are you reading 'the book'?

Angela Stanton, Lies of a Real Housewife

Hello All, happy mid week!

Angela Stanton has written a book exposing (according to her) Phaedra Parks (RHOA) as a criminal and master mind behind some very serious crimes.

The alleged crimes occurred over 10 years ago. Angela has served time in prison. Why tell it all now???

It seems as though she was real salty after finding out that 'Phae' had  married Apollo, and employed Everett. Both of whom were involved the alleged crime ring but had left her to fend for herself and possibly even setting her up.

So, do you believe?

This is part 2 of a 3 part interview on vibe.com.

The book was released last week!

Should there be honor among thieves?

Sacred, Blasphemy, OR Foolery

Hello All, what says you????
                SACRED CEREMONY, BLASPHEMY, or FOOLERY?

Kardashian Madness and Another NY&Co COAT!!!!

Hello All, today is a good day. My Tuesday is sooooooo much better than my Monday. Yeah for me.

I watched Kourtney and Kim Take New York last night...my OMG moment was Kourtney throwing away items in Scott's parents home! I was sitting there with me mouth open for a few before uttering WTH (What the What)!!!! Please someone tell me this grown woman is not that clueless. Who does that!!!!
Early on these shows would have one believe Kim and Kourtney were the go to sisters that had it all together. Ahhhhhh No....just my opinion but Khloe is the one that appears to have it together. She was just as surprised as I about her Kourtney's craziness (but she did help..eye roll). She was as taken aback as I about Kim's irrational BBM. It's Khloe that seems to get it by putting her marriage before the hoopla. Well she did get a show with her husband BUT she didn't go back to Miami with Kourtney leaving her husband in LA. ...such entertainment!

Anyhoo, this is what I wore yesterday:
Coat (another great find with one of my coupons), Pants, Sweater -NY&Co

Trenchy Me!

 Happy Tuesday!

Mama Joyce and My Cool Blues

Hello All! Happy Monday....let's make it a great week!

So, last night's episode of RHOA told me why Mama Joyce was upset about RiDicKlous at the birthday party last week....because I was a little confused. She felt as though she was disrespected because she is the 'mama'.  One would think Mama Joyce down like that, I mean Kandi did say they have strippers at alot of the family's birthday parties, even her baby shower. Mama Joyce has been hanging out with the ladies while questionable conversations have been going on.

She had a valid point ...would Phaeydra have done that in her mother's presence...no; nor would I but Mama Joyce has put herself on the friend level with the ladies.

There is a very fine line in trying to be 'homegirls' (as Kandi says) with your mom/daughter. It's difficult to have it both ways.

What do you think?

Check out my Cool Blues look from the weekend:

Jeans -Dereon

Sweater -NY&Co

Boots -Naturalizer

Enjoy Your Week!

20 Days...til Christmas.
