Last month while in Phuket, Thailand, I made a daily pilgrimage to Layan beach for fruit smoothies, delicious Thai food, massages, and of course sun & swimming. This was my 2nd trip to Phuket and it was a must that Layan Beach be my chill spot. When I visit in 2018, I f

Today, I needed some fruits and veggies to get me through the next few days and I decided to hit Paradise Food & Vegetable, a local Arabic market to see what I could find. In almost EVERY case, shopping at ethnic markets is a BIG when it comes to produce. A) The prices

Peep The Rest!Yesterday, I was pretty hype to hang with friends in Southwest Detroit to enjoy Cinco de Mayo. I planned on smashing Mexican fare all day and of course, margaritas. Well, none of this really happened the way that I planned or hoped. The area where the celebration took place wa
Peep The Rest!So I got ahold of a 2nd generation iPad last week after waiting nearly a month for it to be delivered. Not sure if I mentioned it here, but I was not feeling the idea of buying an iPad since it was 1st introduced in spring of 2010 because it seemed like a big ass iPhone witho
Peep The Rest!Typically, a hour before the doors open for the audience of a runway show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, you can catch the models doing a practice walk somewhere between their hair and make up styling. About this time, photographers lucky enough to get early admittance will hav
Peep The Rest!I was hearing Adele’s song “Rolling in the Deep” all over the place when I was at fashion week. At that time, I was not sure who made it but I knew that I loved it. Last week, while getting ready to face the world as I was watching the Today Show, I got the chance to see
