I Got All the Syrup, I Got-I-Got All the Syrup

I loathe and love this song.  The hook is catchy, the video is cool, and Kreayshawn looks adorable, BUT I really need Kreay to come harder lyrically and with that same flow she had on Gucci Gucci.  I don’t expect all artists to make future tracks replicas of their old ones, but with all these other new female rappers in the game, it’s gonna be hard for Kreayshawn to stay afloat, so I believe.

I’m a fan, but not a fanatic.  I like Kreayshawn’s personality and creativity, but her music is either meh or dope to me.  I just want to see the chick reach her full potential, but then again, maybe rapping just isn’t what she’s meant to do.

I need her to share some of that syrup though, I don’t fancy dry pancakes.


Rihanna ♥ Rita

These two are adorable!  Too bad they’re not a couple.  Until I saw this photo, tweeted to Rihanna by Rita, from the Watch The Throne after party in London last week, I never pondered about how if they were both single lesbians, how awesome their coupledom would be.

Wouldn’t these two be hot together?    Their couple name could be Ritanna.

Maybe I’m just reaching here, but you have to admit: people would sell their mother for a sex tape of R&R!


Playtime is Over for Nicki Minaj

Last weekend, I watched this five part exposé on Nicki Minaj, which uncovers how the beef between her and Lil’ Kim is much deeper than what people think.  I’m not gonna lie, I was pretty creeped out by the whole thing, since the comparisons were undeniable, and it really showed how fraudulent Nicki is.

The video goes in on Nicki’s come up, the artists she’s swagger-jacked, and mainly, her love-hate relationship with Lil’ Kim.  She idolizes, or idolized Kim, but at the same time, was coming for her personally and professionally.

I’ve always been a Lil’ Kim fan, how can I not be?  I grew up in the 90s, and listened to hip-hop; I still proudly rap along with her verse on “All About the Benjamins” whenever it’s on the radio.  I own some of her albums.  I own some singles by Nicki…as I said in a previous post, her music is hit or miss with me.  Kim is hands down, a better rapper than Nicki.

Watch the “Playtime is Over” doc, then you be the judge of who’s real, and who’s just really playing.


Shookies!

For those of you not familiar with a shookie, it’s basically a milkshake with crushed cookies.  I had my first shookie at a Cookie Farm(?) at one of my local malls.  It was ages ago, so I’m not even sure if the name of the place was actually Cookie Farm, but the place definitely had the name cookie in it.

Anyway, I got a chocolate chip cookie shookie, and I immediately became enamored.  Since I wasn’t willing to drive to a Cookie Farm whenever I was fiening for a shookie, I decided to take matters in my own hands, and make my own!

You can use any type of cookies, just as long as you’re able to crush or chop them up in a blender or food processer.  You’ll also need vanilla ice cream, though you can use any flavor of ice cream you like, even gelato(if you’re fancy like that); I currently prefer using Trader Joe’s FrenchVanilla Ice Cream.  And of course, you need milk–what’s a milkshake without milk?  Add a cup of crushed cookies, six to eight scoops of ice cream, and half to a whole cup of milk into your blender; adjust the amount of milk to your consistency preference (more milk for a thinner shake, less for thicker).  Mix well for about a minute, making sure all ingredients have been blended well.  Then enjoy! :-)

Oh yeah, if you use ginger snaps, you may want to use only half a cup of crushed snaps since the flavor of these cookies can be potent.  I know this, since I made a ginger snap shookie earlier this month, and I wish I would’ve used less cookies!

Haha, someone just got burned by their own flame.  Thanks again Lamebook :-)


Socks and Sandals: Why?

 

If the sign above was posted all over the country, I’d be a lot happier.  Since I was a kid, I could never understand the deal with people pairing socks with sandals.  Doesn’t it defeat the whole purpose of wearing sandals?  It makes me mental!  If you’re that shy about your feet, or your feet are just that damn hideous, then stick to wearing footwear that covers your entire foot, or at least most of it.

I have some fashion pet peeves, though I’m not a fashionista of any sort.  I don’t care if people mix patterns, but I do care if people mix seasonal wardrobes, like wearing sweatshirts with shorts and flip flops.  Wth kind of outfit is that?  Is the lower half of your body warmer than the upper section?  What about people who pair knee-high boots with a tank top?  I don’t get it!

I just want to shake some of these people, then scream, “YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!” in their ears, but then I realize, it’s not my business to be a fashion cop.  However, it is my business to rant about it as much as I like.

*End of rant*


I Only Paint My Toes

It pains me not to paint my finger nails, I rarely do it.  There’s no point when I know they’re gonna chip within twenty-four hours.  I’m a single parent that has to wash dishes daily, cook, do my daughter’s hair, and of course, wash myself, and all these things put stress on dried nail polish.

All the time spent applying nail polish, waiting for it to dry, and sometimes adding custom art, seems like a total waste when the polish decides to kill itself slowly on your fingers.

About a year ago, I was on a mission to find a nail polish that would go at least three days without chipping, but I wasn’t successful, and didn’t want to waste money on products that were only going to disappoint me.

My question is, has anyone come across a nail polish that will put up with at least three days of hands-on living (as I like to call it)?  If so, please reply to this post, so I can try it!  I’m tired of only being able to paint my toes; my finger nails deserve to be pretty too!
