My BC...
I said it in the video, but I can't say it enough Ty and Bri you guys are the best. I love having such postive friends in my life *i'm actually crying...such a baby!*, I hope that I'm half as supportive to you as you are to me. Can't wait to see what our future holds *hopefully continued success for all of us*! Thanks again for being there during this experience...I had a blast!
Happy watching,
Jae
Pre BC!

Gunz and Roses::Keisha Ervin
I picked this book up after reading Keisha’s short story in the Triple Crown Productions Street Love book. I lucked up on it at Wal-Mart which meant it was extremely cheap-only $5.24!
This book was a page turner from the start and I believe I finished it in 3 days or so. Gray and Gunz pull you in from the beginning and keep you there until you’re finished.
Gray and Gunz both have commitment issues and try their best to stay away from each other as long as they can. Gray is like many women who try not to let their feelings known because they don’t want to get hurt…I think I have a little bit of her in me! Gunz is a street guy who has an drug empire that he devotes all of his time to and doesn’t want to let himself fall for Gray. Throughout the books you’re introduced to friends of family of both Gray and Gunz that help this story move along. Like a lot of books, then ended up living happily ever after although they take a lot of twists and turns throughout the book.
I would definitely recommend this book to readers that like the street fiction genre. It will keep you guessing and turning pages. Like I said before, I’m happy I discovered Keisha Ervin and look forwards to reading more books by her.
Please let me know what you think if you’ve read this book.
Happy reading,
Jae
BH Cosmetics: Blush and Concealer Palettes
I’ve been looking at the concealer and blush palettes for a while now and decided to purchase them from BH Cosmetics since they were donating to Japan after the earthquake and tsunami. A review will be up soon, for now enjoy the pictures and let me know if you have these palettes.

Haulin’ with the Homies!
Actually, I wasn’t with the homies, but Clueless was stuck in my head for some reason. I recently picked up a few things and received a couple of things free and wanted to show you guys my goodies-not the goodies that Ciara sings about, but the one’s from ULTA and Sephora. Ok, ok, enough with my corny jokes and on to the good stuff!
NYX Studio Liquid Liner in Extreme Blue and Plum Purple – I couldn’t resist it, I needed to use my ULTA $3.50 off of $10 coupon. They weren’t lying when they said extreme blue.
Benefit Powderflage – I’ve heard a lot about this product from youtubers, but didn’t want to spend $28 on it so I wanted until and used my ULTA rewards points for $9 off.
Real Techniques Stippling Brush – I bought this brush because I was looking for a smaller stippling brush as I feel that I don’t have any control with regular stippling brush. *sorry its dirty, I use it daily!*
Benefit the Porefessional, Posie tint and BAD gal lash - were all part of a free gift for my Benefit purchase.
e.l.f Makeup Remover Cleansing Wipes – I decided to pick these up from Target since they were so cheap.
Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk – I saw this at the check out area and decided to pick it up since it was only $10.
SEPHORA hydrating & smoothing foundation in D40 – I’ve been on the search for the perfect liquid foundation and this was only $6 bucks so I couldn’t resist it. So far so good…a full review will be coming soon.
Benefit Coralista face powder – I received this free as my 100 point gift at Sephora and I LOVE it. It just makes my cheeks glow.
Benefit Stay Don’t Stray, Erase Paste in Medium and R.S.V.P Cream Shadow – I’ve been wanting to try the Stay Don’t Stray and Erase Paste and this was another one of those items at the register that I couldn’t turn my back on.
Philosophy happy birthday beautiful – this was my birthday gift from Sephora and it smells so freaking good.
Make sure to drop me a note if you have any of these products.
Love and hugs,
Jae

First Twist Out
I wanted to let my hair breathe before my next sew-in and wanted to try my hand at a twist out. Needless to say, I failed miserable, but my little sister was there to pick me up! She took on the task of twisting and bantu knotting my hair for me. This time around I let it air dry and even wore a knit beany to work the next day to ensure it was completely dry. The next day I started the task of untwisting my hair and decided on a style. I wasn’t happy with the front…I think that section of my hair is going to need a little more care, but everything else worked out perfectly-to me! The pics aren’t great, but I still wanted to post something.
excuse the extreme close-up!
Love and hugs,
Jae
I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it!
Now, that I’ve decided to BC I decided to look into Miss Jessie's products again and learned their products are sold at my local Target. I went with my mom to check it out to my surprise a display met me on my stroll through the store. I saw Miss Jessie’s products-a lot of them, but none in the 2oz. jar like I wanted. I also saw Shea Moisture, Kinky Curly, Kim Kimbell, Mizani and Jane Carter products and couldn’t believe my eyes. I picked up the Shea Moisture Smoothie cream since it was only $9.99. I plan to pick up the Kinky Curly Curly Custard soon…they were out today. I’m so excited at the fact that I can walk into a store and purchase products without having to order them online.
Be sure to check out your target location if you’re in the market for new products!
Love and hugs,
Jae

Heavy on Rotation...
Countdown is by far my favorite song on the entire CD. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the beat, its so infectious and makes me dance.
Party would be the next favorite...I can't stop saying "you a bad girl and yo friends bad too, you got the swag sauce drippin' swaggu"! I also love the fact that Andre 3000 is on the track...I really, really like him.
Run the world is close by...I actually didn't start liking the song until I saw the video and the VH1 special with the guys from Africa. Prior to that I disliked the song with a passion...my how the tables have turned.
Love on top is such a great upbeat love song that is on heavy rotation as well. Another great beat and the message is precious too...
Those are by far my favorites, but the entire CD is still on the repeat as we speak! I haven't been this excited about a Bey CD since Bday, what about you?
Let me know what you think of the CD if you have it.
Love and hugs,
Jae
