September Foodie Files

Within the past few weeks I visited a few restaurants that I'd heard about. I was pleased by some and disappointed in others! The first place I went was Brooklyn Cupcake in Williamsburg HATED IT! No shade but as a baker I'm very critical of sweets...I tried tres leche, coquito, tiramisu, choco cheesecake and coconut - although they had interesting flavors they just didn't do it for me and I'll leave it at that. 


Next stop was Arancini Bros rice ball shop - I was very pleased...the rice balls were almost* perfect. The only thing I didn't like too much was the breadcrumbs they coated the balls in but besides that,  they were amazeee! Surprisingly the meatless one was my favorite.


pesto x mozzarella x tomato


Ragu

Neeeext was Artichoke Basille they're best known for their Artichoke slice but they also serve a crab slice which I ordered and did not like :-( however my bestie ordered the infamous artichoke slice and a margherita slice, they were both amazing. I know better next time.

Louboutin Splash

BET’s Rip the Runway fashion show was taped the other night and of course pictures of everyone’s outfits are circulating. I’m usually a fan of Ms. Emily B's style but I wasn’t really feeling her look. She wore a body hugging Wolford dress which fit her like a glove but it didn’t really impress me. Especially not for a FASHION show. It was very average ; but that wasn’t my problem oh nooooo MY problem was her shoes! OH-EM-GEE I do not care that they were $1595.00 Loubs, they reminded me of those cheap tacky “bedroom” shoes you see in dusty lingerie stores, you know the ones that look better on the floor than they actually do on your feet SMH I can't i'm just not a fan of these and I LOVE fur! blahhhhh

Baby Blue

I’m 24 years old, I’ve been getting manicures since I was 13 never have I eeeeeever thought about choosing blue for my mani or pedi! It has always been for the birds to me, I hate hate haaaaated it! 


….Until a few mos ago when I spotted a pregnant Beyonce with blue nails and thought Bey is on her BK sh*t with these blue claws ;  it really didn’t look THAT bad but I still didn't get it. 


Now that she’s birthed a beautiful baby girl named Blue I think the blue nails are adorable FOR HER. King Bey being the trend setter she is has women across the country going mad with the blue nail polish! What people fail to realize is nail polish is like lipstick you have to find the perfect shade that compliments YOUR complexion. I know we all wanna follow Bey’s lead and emulate her style but the shades she wears work for her*







with that being said ladies find a shade that works for YOU! I’m not sure if I’ll be following this trend but if your thinking about it I have found a few different shades of blue that you can try based on your complexion J

Foundation

In my personal opinion shapewear is a strong foundation for a gorgeous outfit. Slim women turn their noses up to us fuller figure girls who do wear shapewear ;  but you gals who are not 100% tight look SLOPPY without it! Now don't get me wrong I don't wear shapewear everyday of my life but when I have on a body hugging dress or a crop top you won't catch me slipping. I just feel like everything looks so much better when you have a nice smooth silhouette. Your favorite's Beyonce and Kim Kardashian even wear shapewear HA!

Another thing that grinds my gears is women who don't wear stockings in the Winter....you don't look sexy you look STUPID! There's sooooooooo many sexy pairs of stockings c'mon! My personal favorite stockings are sheer and nude my legs look airbrushed! my personal favorite body shaper is a thong waist cincher from Victoria's Secret holds in my tummy and allows my hips and booty to be free ;-) Now that I've given you my secrets (LOL) use them! PLEASE invest in your foundation ladies, it's just as important as your dress or shoes, without it your whole look is ruined - I'm tired of seeing your guts and jiggly thighs.

Nubian Princess

Every woman has her own style and that’s great, my personal style includes hair extensions, make-up, and trendy clothes. NO that does not make me and NO I don’t feel like I NEED those things. I think I’m fine without them I just prefer them. YES I perm my hair not because I wanna look like a white woman but because I don’t like the look of kinks it doesn’t work for me. Some women prefer short hair cuts and dreads because they want their inner beauty to show, I say if your inner is that beautiful it will show whether you’re dressed in drag or a paper bag. BUT these same women with these bald haircuts wear the scankiest clothes O_o I don’t get it, isn’t that defeating the whole purpose of your inner beauty image?? -gee let me cut my hair off but push my breasts up to my chin in the lowest cut shirt and the tightest dress OR let me dye my “natural” dread locks bright orange…why are you dying your “natural” hair tho?? Is it to look like the Kool-aid man? Yeah me and my relaxer are tryna look white and you and your candy colored hair are tryna look like a cartoon character. I just don’t understand. To each her own buuuuut don’t judge those of us who like to get glammed up by calling us “fake” and accuse us of selling out or trying to be white when your “demeaning” yourself in a different way. Hair, clothes, shoes, make-up, self image in general ; they are all ways to express yourself…..everyone is entitled to express themselves so don’t judge us for our expressions and we wont judge you for being too cheap and lazy to get your hair done and opting out for a $10 caesar -_-
