I recently lost a friend and the funeral is tomorrow. I’m not looking forward to it at all. I haven’t been to a funeral for someone I care about in 8 years. These last two weeks have been extremely sad because all I have been thinking about is my friend and the memories and advice we used to share.
What really makes me sad is that these last few years I didn’t check up on him as much to see how life was going for him and see how he was doing. With all that being said, you have to check on your family and friends even if it’s for a few minutes. Life is so short. You don’t want to regret it. If you are reading this say a quick prayer for his family and anyone else who has suffered a loss.
The Good Ol 90’s
Okay so I know I am not the only one who misses the 90’s. The other day I was thinking of the music, television and movies. Some of my favorite tv shows and movies are from the 90’s.
If you look at some of the shows from then and look at them now, a lot of them are crap.
Look at Family Matters, Fresh Prince or A Different World where at the end of many episodes you learned true things about life. The issues of racism or abuse. What about the Saved By the Bell episode that talked about the issue of drugs? Shows today seem to glorify these issues and make them seem like it’s a good thing. I can’t think of one show today where at the end I think “Hmmm I actually feel good about myself.” Nope nada. Oh what about the cartoons of today? Have you seen them? They are horrible. I don’t let my kids watch a lot of them because they are stupid. Too much shaking of booties and goofiness. Think about Hey Arnold that touched on bullying or love. The list goes on.
Don’t get me started on the music of today. A lot of today’s rap is crap! Most of it talks about molly and percocet, or how many cars one has. Look at rap from the 90’s. Tupac, Biggie, Bone Thugs N Harmony. They all rapped about life growing up or how times were then.
Sigh. I miss the 90’s so much. I miss the movies and wrestling. I always go back and watch movies from then or old wrestling matches thanks to the WWE Network. The slow jams from Babyface or Aaliyah. It just saddens me now when I think about how much times have changed and I often wish I could go back and relive some parts. Since I can’t I’m gonna go listen to my favorite 90’s station on Pandora.
What’s your favorite thing about the 90’s?
599Fashion Review
599Fashion is a clothing company located in Los Angeles, Ca. All of their items are new, they sell out quickly, and have free returns and exchanges. I reached out to them so I could try out their items because I had heard so much about them. I spoke with Edward and he was super nice.
I received three dresses from them. I originally had four but as I said before they sell out pretty fast. The items that I received were stitched really good and the material is thick. Like OMG! I couldn’t believe it! The items on the website range from .99 to $9.99. I was really impressed with the quality of clothing and they have some really cute clothes! Go ahead and check them out. It’s really affordable and I recommend shopping there.

Spring Hill Suites
The kids and I had an overnight getaway here and it was really nice! It’s located in Brentwood next to Houlihan’s. We arrived around 4. Check in was super quick and nice. We were able to park right in front. You can park in the garage or in front in any spot that is not reserved.
The lobby area is nice and it has a small cafeteria like area where you can sit and eat. The Hotel has a really nice clean smell.
The room was very nice and clean. We stayed in the room with two queen beds. When you walk in it just had that clean smell. It has a small living room area then the room for the beds and the bathroom. It also has a coffeemaker,microwave, and fridge. The beds are comfy and the room is comfy and very modern.
The hotel has a pool and a gym which are both open until 11 pm.
The pool area is clean. The pool seemed a bit small though. The kids had a blast because we had the pool to ourselves.
The hotel also has free hot breakfast. There was turkey Canadian bacon, eggs, fruit,coffee, tea, and pastries.
Overall I was really impressed. The staff were very friendly. I would definitely stay again and would recommend it.
My First Get Ready With Me
Welcome to my first blog post of the year! It’s been a few months. Okay y’all so I finally got the courage to post my first Get Ready With Me or GRWM! After years of filming videos like these and never posting them I am proud of myself. I would always record and delete the video. I always thought I was applying something wrong or someone would comment and say “You need to do this or that”. Then I realized that I’m not a makeup artist,everyone has their own method, and that’s okay. There is no right or wrong way. I had a lot of fun filming this. Feel free to go and show ya girl some love and support. Until next time!
