Let me start off by saying excuse the short hiatus. I've been going through a tad bit and when things aren't going right in my life I isolate myself. I need alone time to try and figure out my next move. So to my daily visitors THANK YOU for your support. Now that I have that out of the way- I would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to MY BABY, MY FOCUS www.Addicted2candi.com! OMG it's been a year since my site went live and I must keep this ish going!! To anyone wanting to kick off a site, please understand it is NO JOKE. It takes time and dedication in order for your site to be successful. I know I have a little ways to go BUT I am on my way-:). Really quick, I want to thank my homie C-biz for posting on my site and encouraging me to keep pushing. He told me I'm a "good talker" and he wants me to "win"...lol... This man is a scorpio also who just became a father (hi princess Chanel) and runs his own successful sneaker blog www.kicksaddict.com so be sure to check it out.

The picture above is something that I remind myself of daily. I want success so badly I can taste it. What is success to me? My personal definition of success is achieving personal goals you've set out for self. The money and recognition is just the icing on the cake. It's just like if you've set a few objectives for the day and you meet each one. You now feel great because you've had a productive day. All I want to do is live the life I imagine in this creative head of mine. So in order to do so I must remain confident and finish the race #keepgoingcandi. May God bless you on your journey as well!

When I heard this story I started to laugh so hard, like dude what kind of weed are you smoking? I know when people smoke a lot they can start to "trip", ending up like smokie from Friday when he was acting like a chicken in deebo's chicken coup! Anywho, Snoop Dogg has decided to take on a different genre of music with his next album and will be going by the name Snoop Lion (what's my name fooool?). The album titled Reincarnated is set to drop later this year, but you can check out the first single "La La La" below. I swear this reminds me of the Cosby Show episode with Denise and her boyfriend singing "I SAID EHH MON" on the sofa..lmao!

Hate It or Love It: The Rebranding of Yves Saint Laurent (PHOTO)
07/24/2012 •
-
The popular saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it" heavily applies to the "rebranding" of the luxury brand Yves Saint Laurent. Back in June YSL director Hedi Slimane announced that YSL would be undergoing a name change - from Yves Saint Laurent to Saint Laurent Paris. On Monday the first images hit the net via twitter and hunnie this "new" look is PRETTY whack!
-
Yes I am all for change but the name should have remained "Yves Saint Laurent", but I get it Paris is POPPIN right now so you all want in on the hype...smdh. Anywho- the brand will continue to use the iconic overlapping YSL logo, and the rebranding will only apply to ready-to-wear, with the house's official moniker remaining as Yves Saint Laurent. Are you feeling the change?
