EVENT: Marcus Williams' Road To Recovery

Earlier this year, my good friend Marcus Williams was struck by a drunk driver and is currently paralyzed. His hospital bills are mounting as he is fighting to learn how to walk again. If you are available tomorrow night, head over to Dragon Rouge to support Marcus and his family on his Road to Recovery! Do some shopping, have some drinks, buy raffle tickets and if you can't make it out, you can donate through PayPal at SpruceGooseLydo@gmail.com. I'll have a booth, as will C8C and Headbangers Accessories will have a special $20 table (I'd go just for that!). Any assistance is greatly appreciated. No donation is too small!

LUST: Business Suit

I recently joined Pinterest and have taken to saving suits and business attire on one of my boards. In my dream world, I have a career where I need to look jazzy Monday through Friday. I'm almost there. Think Vivica Fox and Gabby Union in "Two Can Play That Game"... Power Player in whatever career she's working...lol Anyway, I am loving what I'm finding! Here's one. Check back for more finds. ;)

The Mayor Stopped By... And Some Other Things!

It has obviously been a while (a long one) since I've posted but I'm back. I figured I'd just share a bunch of stuff so we can catch up. ;)

Let's see. So if you didn't know, I moved back to my hometown, OAKLAND, from Sacramento where I had been commuting from every weekend for the last 3.5 years... Long story. I won't go into it. But I'm back now and have been so busy that posts came to a screeching halt!

Oakland Girl Clothing, my hobby that I'm hoping will eventually become a full time business, has been doing well and gaining some notoriety. I had booths at Oakland's Art & Soul festival and the Laurel Street Fair, both events went well. Gained new contacts and made a little cash! My mom assisted me at the Laurel Street Fair and my girls were a HUGE help at the Art & Soul festival, helping keep my spirits up when things weren't going quite the way I expected. Although Mayor Quan breezed right by us at the Art & Soul festival, she made a point to stop by at the Laurel Street Fair and make a purchase. I thought that was nice of her. She even took pics with her own cam and posted on her Facebook page.

What else? I fell in love and changed my relationship status on Facebook. :D After reconnecting with my old friend from high school on Instagram, we set a date to meet up for drinks to catch up. We've been inseparable ever since. That was in May, we became official in September.

The picture above looks like we were being sexy but we weren't. Lmao. Typical. I was looking at myself in the mirror and trying not to fall. My honey makes sure I don't. :) That picture was from my 32nd birthday party at Manor West. My girls met me for dinner and drinks at Kincaid's then we crossed the bridge to party. Thanks again to my friends and family who made it one of the best parties ever! We tend to have a lot of fun for my birthday. ;)

My hair and makeup were done by Bo Jackson (A Hair Fetish Salon) and Latasha Payne (go see her at Sephora Bay Street). Outfit details - Top from Zara, Skirt from Forever 21 and earrings were custom made by my girl, Tiffany Stapleton, of Headbanger Accessories.  I actually had a very long birthday week! Here are a few more pics:

Lots of other stuff going on. I'll tell you more next time. Subscribe.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Hope you enjoyed whatever you did to ring in the new year. Me? I party pooped and stayed in. Wasn't feeling too hot. But I'm back and ready to get at it now!  I'm already putting together my summer vacation plans, which include a lot of sitting by different pools and laying on beaches, so a workout plan is in order! I want to look like this:

I think I can pull it off! (At least her abs.) Once I start working out, my curves kind of disappear, though I did build a little booty last time! I'm enlisting the help of the best trainer in the Bay Area, Lisa, Owner of Better Body Today!

After working out with her last year before vacation, I got into the best shape of my life (no exaggeration) and I'm ready to be even BETTER this year. Her Saturday morning group workouts are a ton of fun and the soreness only lasts a few days afterward! I've made great friends and like I said, built a better booty. :)
