He is an inspiration to me, the world’s greatest chef; Ferran Adria. He is running the world’s best restaurant and if you want to get a seat at El Bulli you have a LONG time to wait. 25 courses lasting at least 5hrs at dinner. WOW! I wish I was able to eat from him.

Well I haven’t been on here in a while, && quite frankly there is no excuse.  There is one, but who wants to know the bullshit anyway? There’s an old saying “excuses are like assholes, everyone’s got one”, so uhh let’s just keep it moving.

I have found a new love for shoes, yes women’s shoes. No I’m not talking about sneakers. I mean, sexy breath-taking, sophisticated, shoe-gasmic, “NO $$ left in your pockets cause I had to get those” type of shoes! Ladies, can I get an “AMEN!” ?

I was watching t.v and I saw this model going down the runway and the only thing that caught my eyes, were not how stunning she looked, it wasn’t the clothes she had on, it wasn’t her posture and how she commanded the runway, it WAS her shoes. Navy blue and white material, peeptoe, gladiator style pumps that went about 3 in above the ankle. Wow. I’ve been searching all over trying to find them and nowhere have I seen them.

My search in trying to find these shoes have helped me to discover who the model was. Her name is Shakara Ledard, many have seen her && just not know who she is.  These shoes have helped me to find an inspiration in her, just the way she carriers herself; imperial yet modest, sexy and classy, educated and driven, motivated, and how real she is. She is everything that I want to portray when someone looks at me. Just take a look.

This post is from an email I recently received and I had to share it with all my readers, because I think it has so much depth to it, remember habits are formed in 21 days let’s form habits to a great recipe of living.

 

A GREAT RECIPE… 

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day.  And while you walk, smile.  It
is the ultimate anti-depressant. 

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.  Talk to God about
what is going on in your life.  Buy a lock if you have to. 

3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, ‘My
purpose is to__________ today.  I am thankful for______________’ 

4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that
is manufactured in plants. 

5. Drink green tea and plenty of water.   Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan
salmon, broccoli , almonds & walnuts. 

6. Try to make at least three people smile each day. 

7. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues
of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control.  Instead
invest your energy in the positive present moment. 

8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a
college kid with a maxed out charge card. 

9. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good. 

10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 

11. Don’t take yourself so seriously.  No one else does. 

12.  You are not so important that you have to win every argument.
Agree to disagree. 

13. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present. 

14. Don’t compare your life to others.  You have no idea what their
journey is all about. 

15. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. 

16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words:  ‘In five years,
will this matter?’ 

17. Forgive everyone for everything. 

18. What other people think of you is none of your business. 

19. GOD heals everything  – but you have to ask H im. 

20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. 

21. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick.  Your friends
will. Stay in touch!!! 

22. Envy is a waste of time.  You already have all you need. 

23. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I
am thankful for__________.   Today I accomplished_________. 

24. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.  

25. When you are feeling down, start listing your many blessings.
You’ll be smiling before you know it.  

I’ve been on the mean hunt for a winter jacket and i’ve finally found it! 

Behold;

While we’re on the topic of hunting i’ve also been hunting for the perfect pair of blazers. Nike blazers and this is what I found coming in at $108 I bring to you Nike Blazer Mid-Pewter.

I’m still on the hunt for some good bargains in the cyber world, my latest cop would have to be my yellow zebra print cardigan from Delias.

I’m making my christmas list as we speak and it’s filled with boots, acid washed skinny jeans, chanel no.5, cardigans, and hair weave!

Peace && love.

My contract with tmobile ends pretty soon, for that I’m excited because now I am able to get a top of the line phone from any service provider i’d like.

The good, the bad, the ugly.

The Storm comes out next week, so i’ll be one of the first to have it, granted I decide this is what I want. The features are amazing just like those of the iPhone; high-resolution touch screen (480 x 360), GPS (you have to pay for separately), internet over the 3g network w/ (NO WiFi), blackberry enterprise email (must get the blackberry plan an addtnl $40/mth), click and press technology which claims to ensure more error proof typing, has expandable memory (8g, 16g, 32g) comes standard with 1g, windows live, yahoo, aol messenger are readily available pre-installed on the phone for you, 3.2mgpxl camera with auto-flash 2x zoom and auto focus, camera can also record video, video playback and access to watching videos on the web, and music playback just to list a few of it’s features.

Now it’s competition is the iPhone 3g, from apple that is only being sold by ATT stores.  I’ve heard from users that the 3g network isn’t as reliable as they’d like it to be and not everywhere has WiFi. Now that the phone does have WiFi and the Storm doesn’t this means I wouldn’t have to pay extra for internet service if I’m going to get it free from WiFi. The Apple App store is an amazing addition to the phone and this makes sure that no iphone will ever be the same. The apps that are offered are free and some of them can be costly but they’re worth it. Zoom in to anything on any webpage you’d like, add bookmarks to frequently visited sites. There is unfortunately NO MMS messaging, which is a shame, but you can live without it. This device is bluetooth enabled, maps w/ gps, googlearth and the ability to see traffic. has stocks, weather, and notes. Calculator, rotate it 90 degrees for a scientific calculator. The iPhone’s plan is set to run about $70/mth. tough decision

We also have the iPod touch, that does everything the phone does w/out the phone part of it, like sending phone calls, sending and receiving MMS or SMS. But everything else is included all for 229 and no monthly fee, or annual contract.

I’m not so big on music, but when I hear something I like, I rock with it forever.  So I started doing some research and I came across KiD CUDi. He’s the truth and needs to be heard! With hits ranging from DAT NEW NEW,  THE PRAYER, EMBRACE THE MARTIAN, DOWN AND OUT to most notably DAY N’ NIGHT.

Check the kid

 

THE REINVENTION OF KANYE WEST!

k

Since we’re on the topic of good music. I am anxiously awaiting Kanye’s fourth studio LP titled 808′s & Heartbreak which drops November 24th. Since hearing a lot of the tracks on there including Love lockdown, Anyway, Heartless, Coldest Winter and my personal favorite Street lights I’m dying to cop the album.

Heartless video:

Something I decided to cook up off the top cause I just needed to write a little bit. It’s written Def Poetry style, hoping to someday have to listen to the spoken word.

 

Delusional.

so now i’m thinking bout the finest brotha a girl like me ever did meet. 6 foot 5, brown skin, nice eyes and big feet! huh, seeing his body sway from side to side. the melin in his skin being highlighted by the dim yellow lights. yeah, this is my type of groove cause like a fresh shave baby I’m smooth. So I think about my approach, cause this one I know won’t be laying at my feet and realzing that with him games are obsolete i must be discreet. Though I’m bold cause how could you miss this sista?! Got dudes from all across the country saying “Christina I wanna be withcha” But I only have eyes for one brotha. The dude that’s being highlighted by the dim yellow lights. and this time I see the glow in his smile, the dimension of his face structure and his muscle definition. Baby boy is continually pulling me in his direction.  Without even knowing what he was doing, he had me and I had to have him. 

now when i speak truth be told, cause by the next morning naked in his arms is me who he wanted to hold. cause the sex is crazy, i go on and on like the energizer put a battery in my pussy. and not just physically i worked him out mentally, cause there is so much more to me! Now the spotlight is off this amazing brother who now stands next to me. It’s on the main attraction Queen C. Cause baby i’m like royalty and everything I touch has to be damn good to me. Days turned into months though months never quite made it to years. Now i’m laying in a puddle full of tears.

So I said enough! No more of me choosing based on physicality. Cause with my body, style and grace we can look like a 10. even if he’s only a 5 baby i’m that live! Nasty as you wanna be I think I need some therapy. See, this tripping stuff just ain’t like me. So now I ain’t been on my game since that night when that amazing brotha captured my sight. My flow is ziploc that means my shit is tight, but lately things ain’t been right. Maybe it’s cause I don’t know who this amazing brotha might be. Cause i’m in a hospital suffering from severe psychological abnormality.

This is hillarious, had to share it with my readers : )

I made two different posts today, about two very different things. Family is an awesome thing, they’re always there for you and you should always be there for them! These are my babies, my niece && nephew a very big part of my world.

Family

Peace && love!

Watch && Enjoy!
