Every woman has a part of her that likes to be a beauty product connoisseur. Living with a hair stylist will most likely bring that out of you, I know from experience. But I’ve recently stepped down from that title and given it to my friend and now personal cosmetic consultant, Lindsay H.–hairstylist at Salon Capelli. My first thought when offered to try this product was that there is a weed plant on the bottle. Interesting, but not a deal breaker. So here we are to welcome the newest addition to my medicine cabinet–Original Herbal Body Moisturizer by Hempz. A body lotion that is formulated to heal and renew skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. In addidtion, has benifits of 100% pure organic hemp seed oil, shea butter, and vitamins A, C and E to help protect skin from natural and environmentally-triggered oxidants. The initial standout would have to be scent; A combination of floral and bananas. Sounds odd but smells heavenly — a strange paradise. I’ve been using Hempz for the past couple of days with a smile on my face.
*All Hempz products contain Pure Organic Hemp Seed Oil, one of nature’s richest sources of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), nutrients and vitamins that protect and condition the skin. Hemp Seeds are rich in Vitamins E, C, B1, B2, B3 and B6 Hemp is one of Earth’s most renewable resources, able to produce a full harvest within 120 days without the need for fertilizers or pesticides. That makes it perfect for today’s trend toward a healthy green lifestyle.

ASAP Rocky; Harlem’s “Pretty Boy” Flody rapper. Purple Swag from his upcoming mixtape LiveLoveA$AP, has 300, 000 views on youtube in a month, if you’re interested in numbers. “Your worth is not measured in likes, comments, notes, or follower count.” But more importantly, this is the first artist to reach my iPod after the release of Watch the Throne. I’m usually good for some trap music, it’s a given coming from the south. Somehow this fall through the cracks. Weeding through the ‘Lils’, ‘Youngs’, and ‘Macs’ for something that stands out from the standard design becomes a hard task. Rocky’s second single “Peso” debuted a video directed by LateBoots family Abteen Bagheri. The visuals bring back classic New York hip hop–riding handlebars, dice games, 40 ounce and posing. 
+ No, he doesn’t have a Maybach yet. This won’t be your new ‘I can live vicariously through you rapper’ dreaming your way to Paris. But you will hear about Margiela, gold fonts, girls, and fresh braids–true stories of being young growing up in Harlem. Not to mention I’m an inch into ponytail status, so by default he’s apart of my new obsession. ASAP Rocky – “Peso” music video inside –>Inside Story

Life’s my soul sista. Please darling do come out and play. Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Captain pulled up the anchor to Rick James-Super Freak. I hadn’t seen the aqua view traveling, so we took the scenic route all the way to black. On the dock , they didn’t see me because I pulled up with my other friends. Last week I was in that barco with Grae and Katherine. New York, “I’ve had a hell of a summer, so don’t take this too hard.” But how many people do you know to take it this far? Imagine us bringing in the night motor boating with Marvin’s greatest doused in waves. We can take a priceless picture in this city–so cinematic, so cinematic. “Life can be so nice, it’s a wonderful world sweet paradise.”
