90’s Music Makes Me Want To Make Love

9 February 2010 at 6:37 pm (Heavy Rotation, Love & Relationships, Music, Raves, Throwbacks) (, , , , , , )

…. and that doesn’t happen a LOT (which is why I avoid listening to the 90’s slow jams on a regular basis – lol)

What ALSO doesn’t happen often is someone passing along a song to me (especially 90’s R&B) and me never having heard it … Usually my homeboy Jordan is the ONE person to consistently surprise me with joints like the one I’m about to post.

Music like this makes me miss being in a relationship. Miss being in love and miss the warmth, comfort and sexiness of love-making. Enjoy!

Nneka Is ILL.

9 February 2010 at 12:09 am (Heavy Rotation, Music, Raves) (, , , , , )

If you haven’t heard of this dope artist from Nigeria then you need to familiarize yourself with her talent. Nneka is like … a less husky Macy Gray (vocally) and her content reminds a little of Lauryn Hill. Her voice is amazing. Her music is fire and her band KILLS it. I’m gonna post the Chase & Status dubstep remix of one of her more famous songs (and my personal favourite) Heartbeat. PLEASE enjoy!

Seche Vite (I Swear By This Product!)

6 February 2010 at 4:51 pm (Beauty, Health & Fitness, Product Reviews, Raves) (, , , , , )

Ladies. If you polish your own nails then you need … absolutely NEED to have this product in your kit. When you’re pressed for time (as I am right now) but you want cute nails without chips, dents and fingerprints (lol) you have to find a dry fast top coat that will get the job done in minutes. Seche Vite is that top coat. I discovered it via a good friend of mine (HOLLA Linda!!!) and she was kind enough to send me some in the mail as a present (love her!) and I was skeptical (I’ve tried dry fast top coats and polishes and they just didn’t work) but this one DOES. Within 5 minutes your nails are dry to the touch. Another five and they are chip and peel resistant. I’ve tried it. I swear by it.

The smell is a little strong … but if you’re used to polish smells you may not find it so bad. But for the 2-3 mins it takes to apply it to your nails, stomach it. The polish’s consistency is thick and almost serum-like but goes on smooth and without air bubbles and fail. It really is the perfect top coat for your nails. It leaves them smooth, silky and even helps to strengthen them. Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat runs about $5 -$10 for a bottle but you can ALWAYS find it on sale at various shops and websites if you like to purchase things online. Visit Seche Vite’s homepage :: here ::

For my ladies in Toronto you can get Seche Vite online or at: http://www.torontoesthetics.com/nailcare3.htm and some Winners locations. If I see it out while in my travels I’ll be sure to share.

The Killing Room

6 February 2010 at 1:59 pm (Entertainment, Movies, WTF!?) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

How far would you go to survive? This movie is eff’d UP but its really really good. I went in prepared to laugh at Nick Cannon … because let’s face it … who doesnt? *cough* but he’s actually decent in it. It’s not like he had a difficult role to play but this isnt about him. This movie is dope. I was surfing the web looking for a movie to watch this morning because that’s usually my routine: watch some obscure flick no one talks about on a Saturday morning and then …. go on about my day (so exciting, huh?) and bam … the title jumped out at me. I decided to youtube the trailer and was intrigued. The mind is a creepy thing … and delving into the human psyche is always interesting. The fact this movie is based on true events makes it that much better. Check it out! This psychological thriller is 93 mins of tension and suspense and the ending is ILL. Love it.

Synopsis: Four volunteers sign up for what initially appears to be a typical paid research study, only to discover that they’ve unwittingly become involved with a classified government program that was said to have been terminated nearly two decades ago, in this tense psychological thriller from director Jonathan Liebesman (Darkness Falls, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning).

Genre: Thriller
IMDB rating: 6.0/10 (89 votes)
Directed by: Jonathan Liebesman
Starring: Timothy Hutton, Chloë Sevigny Michael Byrnes,
Nick Cannon, Clea DuVall

Young Rowdy – White Boy (Prod. K Slack)

3 February 2010 at 4:51 pm (Entertainment, Heavy Rotation, Music) (, , )

The homie K. Slack produced something new from Young Rowdy.

I wasn’t familiar with this artist ….. but I am now. I’m feeling this track. The hook is catchy as hell and of course production wise, the beat is on point. Take a listen for yourself.
