Diamonds can be a girls best friend, and if you really decide to take it upon yourself to embrace such an attitude, I say go right ahead. I won't present you with directions to the nearest Tiffany's or Zales, but I will advise you to check out a book that will take you on an unblievable ride. Bling from the author Erica Kennedy tells a fictitious story of the in's and outs of the music business. Take a look at what you should be looking for if you have not already finished this page turner. ...

For every woman who has ever gone shopping for the perfect winter coat, you have to know that every closet has to have a Classic Trench in it to ensure that winter is done right every Fall season. London Fog is all I ever knew as far as Classic Trench Brand Names go. I only owned a couple of these in my lifetime. One was a gift that I didn't have the liberty to purchase myself, so I don't even know how much it cost. The other one I purchased at a super bargain price from a local Thrift Store ...

Sounds delicious, if I ever heeard anything that made me crave chocolate cake and whipped topping, yum is my immediate reaction. Desert aside, I'm thinking in terms of relaxation, bonding, and smooth skin. Alleviating dryness especially during the cold winter months is key, and that's only one part of why I suggest using the new silky smooth Gold Bond Ribbons Body Lotion. One other option is I want you to consider is substitution. Think in terms of a routine massage given using this very inno...

Originally, this post spot was reserved for my next post, but one of my favorite sources leaked footage about a new sneaker from a well known Rapper, Run of the group known as Run DMC. Credited by many as being responsible for the Adidas proliferation in the Black Community after the release of their hit song My Adidas in the early 90's. Contrary to what you may believe, as far as we know Adidas is not involved with the release of the new Run Athletics Sneaker being sold at Sears Department S...

Okay I have washed the cake out of my mouth, and now the celebration leads me into the Pete Williams coverage where he is keeping Gwen IFill's seat warm round table on Washington Week. The focus was on Rick Perry who is the competing candidate for the Republican nomination. He experienced a brain freeze at the wrong time during a debate held recently when he could not remember the name of the third government office tht he would eliminate if elected President in 2012. There was certainly s...

Alright, this week I have been on this leopard print kick and the adventurous ride is not over yet for me or you. Leopard print makes me feel frisky and playful, but for some the design may be a little bit to Sunset Blvd. Oh it's California alright, but hotter than the boulevard. Wearing it and making a fashion statement with clothing is not for everyone. I'll be the first to admit that personality plays into the style, so doing it on a smaller scale will be right for the conservative and les...

Know when to walk away! From either side, it really is not a fold. Life goes on. The fall from glory is apparent and everyone knows it is real. On Washington Week, Herman Cain is all the talk the circumstances are clear accusations of misconduct from Cain allegedly of a sexual nature have sent his campaign into defensive mode. Now he must decide what is next for him on the campaign trial and in his political future. Anyone who is held in high esteem for any particular reason has a great respo...

The excitement has been brewing ever since last weeks post, and I could not wait to spill about the amazing new addition to the Abornewords family. Before I do let me tell you that it all kind of happened so fast. The swirling news and then he was just here. Establishing a Dream Team is not easy especially when the weight of the world is on your shoulders and your opponents are many. Building a trustworthy team is even more difficult when the pickings are so few. Our Dream Team is our Wonder ...

We already showed you how a true King does it in front of a crowd both ways. In comedy and as host of the ever so talked abut game show (It's Worth What) Cedric The Entertainer did his thing. (See A Refresher) Now it is time to show our men that we value them as King of our fantasy castle. In our home and everywhere else our desire for equality has not changed. We are all for equality between the sexes. Still, it's high time we took every opportunity to celebrate our bro-man. Some suggestion...

In Florida, the Weather can be so beautiful at times. Temperatures are often perfect for the beach even during the winter months. However one thing we Floridians know firsthand is that Florida's weather can also be unpredictable. Cold weather for three days of the week and hot weather for the other four days.  That sporadic zigzag type of weather is what we have grown accustomed too living in The Sunshine State. Now what we have realized is that bundling up during winter is sometimes a hassle...

Taking the lid off of Washington Weeks jar of politic goodies is something that I look forward to because of the mix of personalities and opinions sitting at the table every week. Gwen IFill asked "Why is Herman Cain leading in the polls"? She received a great number of answers, all having to do with personality, realness, and likability. The messages we send out should be something that gets attention by peaking the curiosity of others. Herman Cain has been successful in doing so because Ame...

As the saying goes sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. You may believe those words or totally reject them, your decision is do either is a personal choice. However, in case you happen to really end up injured not by the words of some malicious deviant using negative language who resist any form of amicable behavior, but by a real flesh wound, bruises, or an abrasion, happening by accident or during your morning run, at the hands of some barbaric individual in a ...

To much of a good thing is never good just because of the tendency to fall into habits that might not be good for you. The debate over to much or television, video games, or computer time has been on going for quit some time. Some parents are really confused at what to do about their children's face time in all of the forementioned situations. Many experts and parents alike feel that children should be spending more time on reading or other physical activity.

An abstract of a study conducted...

On the high or the low, heels do not mix with every woman. Certainly their good on occasion, but please for your sake consider your footsies. Anyone of you (executives, teachers, and even you assistants) with the desk jobs who has ever changed into a pair of comfortable flats, you realize truly that heels have their place. Come on though, who does not want to have comfortable feet? You may not remember the piece I did called New Trend For Women Who Love Shoes Heels and Ugg were featured with...

A backshot or a low blow can not change the impact of the strategy of powerful presence. Gwen IFill is here and she is fulfilling her role as the in between to some of the most influential political junkies in television and print media. The rundown may leave some of the wannabee leaders standing on a lower platform looking up as other candidates like Mitt Romney and Herman Cain get more and more attention. The Shadow of Death is looming over the conversation and the name Moamoar Gadhafi is ...

Are you head over heels in love with chocolate and just have to have the sweet treat within reach at all times? Do you remember how you felt the last time you reined out? I'm picturing cabinent doors slamming, turned over candy dishes, open night stand drawers, and turned over matresses. Forget about it! Close your eyes and wish hard that you were Charlie. You know from Willie Wanka and the Chocolate Factory. Let your fascination and craving take you that far, but make sure you create your ow...

The Answer Angel has clarified a few things when it comes to fashion that may help some women who are obsessing over skirt and dress lengths. "The most universally flattering skirt length is at or just an inch below the knee" says Ellen Warren. That seems reasonable enough, but going shorter also works well for women with petite bodies. Even with larger legs, a pear shaped petite body looks long and lean because the body build is narrow. Shorter styled skirts go well with sheer fashionable ti...
