    Event LOVE: Coty x Philosophy

    I had so much fun at the Coty x philosophy event yesterday. Of course this is no surprise, as I absolutely adore the Coty Inc. ladies, and always have an excellent time with them.

    Before the event, my knowledge about philosophy was very limited. I knew they specialized in bath and body products, but I had no idea that they are MAJOR players in the skincare game! Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised, and totally impressed by their commitment to giving customers quality products that offer proven results; as well as inspire, and make them feel good at the time.  I love the stories behind this amazing brand, and it’s safe to say that I am officially a “philosophy girl.”

    Thank you so much to the Coty Inc team for inviting us, and to Robin White (Director of International & Global Press- philosophy) for the lovely stories, and for giving us the 4-1-1 on philosophy… oh and for the awesome swag!

    peace and love

    Event LOVE: Spirit of Dance

    On Monday evening we joined Tré  Armstrong at The Spoke Club to celebrate the launch of the Tre Armstrong Give Back Foundation; a not-for-profit operating foundation. Despite the on and off drizzles, tons of people gathered on The Spoke Club patio to show their support for Tre. We were treated to yummy appetizers, drinks, a Just Dance station, and some live performances.

    “The foundation will focus on developing life skills through enjoyable youth programming and performing arts at the community level alongside educational classes and seminars, promoting continued learning along with the development of key life and social skills.”

    Thank you so much to Tré Armstrong for inviting us!

    peace and love

    7 Things to Do Today

    Let’s relax ladies and gents, and actually not worrying about the minimal things today. Let’s ‘forget’ about these things today.

    1. Saying YES when you actually mean NO. – Say NO today. Do IT. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (such empowerment)

    2. Slouching. Ladies and Gents stand up tall and strengthen your core muscles. Do not slouch anywhere, not even on the toilet or sitting on your bed.

    3. Rolling Your Eyes. This is a big one for me, as I get annoyed easily. What can I say, I’m an aries. *shrugs*. Don’t roll your eyes at me.

    4. Texting, emailing, bbming. PICK UP THE DAMN PHONE AND CALL THE PERSON! BETTER YET GO TO THEIR PLACE AND SEE THEM FACE TO FACE!!! Damn technology.

    5. The headphones that block out the entire WORLD! Talk to someone on the train, bus, or on the street. Hey you never know that person can become your best friend.!!!!

    6. Processed food.  Try to get on a health kick, and DO IT .. NOW !!!

    7. Procrastinating. Start planning things and get them done. Get a great friend who will push you to accomplish this.

     

     

     

     

    What other things are on your to do list for today??

    @nyigf RECAP: The New York International Gift Fair

    After a very rainy week, there was finally a sunny day yesterday!

    We headed down to the Javits Center to see all that is new in gift, home and lifestyle products.  This show was HUGE.  We were able to hit Pier 94, the 3000’s and the 7000’s. It was crazy. I am sad that I missed the baby and the jewelry sections but I had a lot of fun and met some amazing vendors!

    I will be highlighting some of my favorite products in upcoming posts but here is a sneak peek!

Shop Catch offers the best in-store deals by major retailers at shopping malls in your area. Best of all the download is free. And worry not Blackberry users! The same deals are also available for view on the website.

    R&B Rappers?

    I was reading anotha blog site and they had some remixes that some R&B artist put out.They had some folk comment on some of the material and say R&B cats should’nt be rappn, but i disagree. Trey makes it hella clear his lane cant be F&ckd with. NOW! heres the thing, if you know music then you will understand what i am about to tell you. there were NO, ima repeat, there were NO R&B singers that would rap and sing and kinda slay both of their talents.

    The only reason i really like Trey Songz is because alot of his street underground mixtapes back when he was with the 804 boyz. Of course bein a R&B guy i naturally went wit some of his slow stuff also. But now we see alot of other R&B cats tryna follow the same pedegree, is it swagga jackn?? hmmmmm :0) #YouBeTheJudge

    P.S Trigga murked this Kreayshawn Gucci track 🙂
