WHAT I DID THE OTHER NIGHT: Ursula Stephen’s Salon Grand Opening + Rihanna Concert
You guys know I had a pretty difficult week! So when I learned that my date with Rihanna had been rescheduled, hunty, I was more than excited. My friend joked and said that my Mom got to heaven and told God he had to move the concert to Tuesday. I suppose it’s all in how...

What I Did The Other Night: Black Girls Rock! 2012
I adore my new life. I’ve met so many amazing people in the last few months and I am having a ball–as you can probably tell from my lack of posting. Last weekend I had the opportunity to cover the red carpet for Black Girls Rock! 2012 and attend the awards ceremony.

In between the shows during NYFW I had a chance to break and attend a few cool events. So my next few posts will be Party Party Party, Let’s All Get Wasted, hahaha not quite. Anyways. Lianne Farbes of TheMakeupGirl.net hosts Cocktails & Couture each fashion week season. This time around it was co-hosted by Patrice...
What I Did The Other Day: #FNOCrawl (event recap)
I’ve only been in NY for 3 weeks and it feels like MONTHS! Of course I would move right when Fashion Week starts. Hoo Hum! This year with a little encouragement from Christina of LoveBrownSugar, I decided to do Fashion’s Night Out. If you’ve never been let me first say it’s a lot of standing in...
What I Did The Other Day: Walmart Family Beauty Days with Eden BodyWorks (event recap)
If you’ve been following me and my blog you know that these last few weeks have been cray. Just before I left for NY, I hosted an in-store beauty event at Walmart in Owings Mills, Md. Thank you to everyone that came out. I got to meet a few fans of GIG, my loyal blogger...
What I Did The Other Day: Land’s End Back To School Event (event recap)
I had the opportunity to attend BlogHer12 this year in NYC. Unfortunately I was volunteering so there wasn’t much to recap besides the corny snap shots, which I posted on Facebook.

[event recap] #EveningWithEden A Summer Hair Affair
Over the weekend I attended an Evening With Eden: A Summer Hair Affair. I’ve been using Eden Bodyworks for the last month (review coming soon) so I was really geeked to be able to meet the folks behind the brand and chat it up with fellow beautnistas about summer hair care. Pin It
[watch] Curls + Cocktails + Conversations = #MOTIONSMEETUP
The above title should pretty much explain what this post is about. It was also the cute quirky name of the event I was invited to hosted by Motions Hair and their Global Brand Ambassador, celebrity hair stylist — Ursula Stephen. In case you don’t know, she’s the hands behind Rihanna’s fabbbuuulooouuus hair. Here recently she’s...

Oh readies! .. what I grand few weeks I have had. I’ve been to NY at least 4 times in the past 3 weeks. (insert big big huge sigh here!) I know, I know — move already right. It’s coming. I’ve got that post already set up in my drafts folder. I managed to finish 1...
[event recap] #ShopAndSwap with NYC Fab Curvy Bloggers
First let me recognize the hoarder in me. I have tons of clothes! With tags or without tags, what’s most important is that I have either never worn them or the item(s) merely made one appearance at an event. The sad part — I am attached to my clothes. This event showed that I definitely...
