Not really sure if you are craving starches right now but i can not resist sharing Kelis' Coconut Jerk Purple Potato Reipe. If you want it, Lenny has the deets here. I would so love to go on bragging about Kelis' Life On A Plate and her famous Bounty & Full Sauces which are not available online at Walmart but I kind of got distracted and reminded of the good, savory flavor of Yaka Mein like my Brother use to make when he was home and free to roam and mingle.

Anyway, Zagat did an investigation ...

Writing my analysis of Jay-Z's 444 Album was so much fun for me because I really did it when there was a lot of confusion about his direction and the success of the Album and his OJ Story still has some fans baffled about his true angle in penning it. Nevertheless, my Tidal Playlist includes "New Day", "Otis" and many other hits made by the Rap Mogul and Kanye West. New Day proves that Jay-Z is woke and when I say woke I mean aware and having a vision about the future. Being aware of his role...

A lot of Rappers create their Rap Names by including part of another Rappers name in theirs, in sound or even spelling. There can be many reasons for it and we are guessing it has a lot to do with being inspired, competing or just plain name jacking to get attention. You may be thinking, what about Rappers like Kevin Gates who are really using their own name or parts of it? Well, New Orleans Rapper YE Law is doing just that with a least part of his name. YE is annunciated just as it is writte...

It is so official! I can finally let the cat out of the bag and tell all of you that I am going to be a Granny! To say that I am excited is an understatement. I'm feeling blessed to be at this stage in my life. Things are changing for the better for our family and growth is on the way. Besides being elated about Baby Phillips, I can tell you is that I do feel a little bit older and I even have a few more gray hairs popping out in my mohawk lately (smiling). I'm overjoyed with anticipation of ...

Okay, I have been a bit preoccupied with my continuing education and I have put my Blogging duties on hold for personal and professional development. Just know that I will always be sharing informative and entertaining content. There are quite a few things on my agenda for upcoming post.

After all, with short haircuts like mine, I am always looking for a way to ...

G-Baby is proving that she is ready for the spotlight, doing her thing in Atlanta but repping her New Orleans Roots all the while. Just so you truly get the picture and you may have to be from New Orleans to really be aware of what I am about to share but this is how deep this girls grind is rooted. Rapper Rob Base put words to wax and "It Takes Two" hit the airwaves of radio and was played at clubs throughout the city of New Orleans and the surrounding area for what seemed like foreve...

New Orleans Rapper Nice Gunz follows up with visuals for his Hard Life lyrics and releases a hood filled video that seems all to real, as it plays through. Check out the video below.

In difference to flashing a gun on camera and belting out lyrics containing vulgarity that you will never hear a Rapper like Will ...

Snugg is the Sister of New Orleans Rapper Nice Gunz. She was celebrating recently, showing herself lots of love on her birthday. Here's the pictures to prove just how much she loves herself.

Snugg or Tricy is what she's called by family and friends. She has officially made the leap to narcissism, even though she did not create a selfie book like Kim Kardashian. As you can see, she is a woman of many faces and she seems to enjoy sending herself lots of love.

Her gifts included lots of Jessica...

The D-Boy Video came out right after all the drama started between Lexi and New Orleans Rapper BTY Young'N. When the smoke settled, it turned out to be all good in the Ryda Muzik Family. Here is the D-Boy Video ft. Nice Gunz and they are even letting us see BTY Young'N dropping by a Daquari Shop to buy something to sip on. Flashing money and talking that street talk is what this video is about. They are not even trying hard to win fans over because their goal is much bigger. The pull of Ryda ...

Since we are on the verge of an Essence Festival Explosion in New Orleans, a city where I lived for at least half of my life, it may be hard to imagine or even phantom any other celebrations that measure up to the status of a Big Easy Good Time; unless of course you are familiar with takes place at The Made Of America Festival. We want to make sure you do not get caught up in the smoke and mirrors of it all and will miss out on something really extraordinary, so we have a few nuggets to throw...

Nice Gunz was recently arrested on a gun charge which seems more unfortunate when you consider the face that his Father and Uncle are doing time in Angola. The details surrounding the arrest involved an unregistered pistol with the serial numbers being shaved off. Nice Gunz is a part of the Ryda Muzik Family along with label mates BTY Young'N and Fisher Stylez.

Though the New Orleans Rapper managed to post bail because of his fiances hard work and ...

This weekend I experienced the best Mother's Day ever but last weekend was pretty amazing too! It was all about The New Orleans Jazz Festival and I watched it on the AXSTV Channel. With popular streaming services like Tidal and UMC providing access to our favorite Artist and movies , television is almost the last place that most consumers would turn to for entertainment.

Macy Gray's set was extraordinary, as the words flowed from her lips in her very familiar raspy voice. The Beautiful Singer...

Okay we are well into November but we still will take time out to acknowledge that hard working New Orleans Artist who continue to make hit after hit on their quest to be in that number one spot. At Abornewords, it has been a pleasure and an ongoing mission for us to shine some light on the talented souls doing their thing in the Big Easy.

It is still Thursday so we are throwing vocals from Songstress, Raptress Tiffany Shante back at you! Singer, Rapper,1/2 of the Mizfit, she wears many titles. The last time we shared her it was the anniversary of Jane Fonda's Groundbreaking Fitness Video. Then, we were showing off The Mizfits Throwback Style, colorful tights and all. This time it's our craving for sweet sound that has us on some Tiffany. At least that is one reason, other than the fact that t...

Nice Gunz made it clear that he loved New Balance Sneakers, stating their affordability as one of the reasons he gravitated toward the brand. The bold N symbol probably influenced his choice, just a bit. Afterall, he has been called Nice since he was an infant, by family and friends.

The new Air Jordan's XX9's may give the New Orleans Rapper a reason to look away from his favorite New Balance Sneakers.

This past weekend, the larger than life Air Jordan Brand, hit stores everywhere. Sneakerhead...

It's been some time since New Orleans Rapper Lady Dahlia introducted us to Calliope Var via her Facebook Page and Instagram Feed. Though we found it interesting and intriguing, we didn't immediately jump on board to share Calliope Var with you.

We told you that New Orleans Artist Tiffany Shante has been doing her thing in the Music Industry for quite some time. She is calling herself 1/2 of the Misfitz these days and also promising that she will release Highway 2 Hollywood soon and also release a video to compliment her new music. She is not shy about showing how she feels and is always changing her hair from short to long, playing around with a multitude if colors. Here she is with purple hair and of course we like it!

Every now and then we need an escape, a getaway, or should I just say some time for urselves. Since a getaway does not have to necessarily mean traveling or leaving home, why not choose a favorite indulgence to get youinto a state of calm and relaxation, I thought. That's why I started listening to DJ Black N Milds R.I.P Podcast.

This should take you through the weekend and into your Monday, reminiscing on all that good, good. Warning! After about 10 minutes of his groove, you will be just ri...

Once again we feel like we are in the loop on what's trending in what some of you may call the underground Rap Scene for up and coming Rappers from the Greater New Orleans area. We are confident that you will enjoy the sound of this smooth Hip-Hop Music mixed with that old school sound. If there was ever a city that goes hard without making their efforts all about money, it's the Artist coming out of New Orleans.

Dwight Henry played a large part in putting newcomer Benh Zeitlin on the map for his first film, Beast of The Southern Wild. The roar of his claim to fame somehow did even more for New Orleans and the sweet tooth of child star Quvenzhane Wallis, who is up for the Big Screen yet again in the new Annie Movie.

Just when you may have started to miss the sounds of New Orleans Rapper Mystical, Ayo PrincezZ exploded on the scene with her fearlessly, fast Rap tongue, immulating Mystcals Style. She likes it rough and proved it in yet another creatively crafted song, called Loveable Nightmare. She may haunt your dreams and give you something scary to dream about but the balance comes easily after she makes a request for her crown.

To her credit, she does call herself PRINCEzZ. Still.at first...

Inspiration can come from anywhere. When it happens for creatives, no matter what field, it is like a perfect melody. In writing, characters get poked and prodded until readers feel a tickle of joy, from the funny or angry because the villain somehow defeated their favorite hero.

Visualizing messages, hearing the sounds, and bringing them to life in our own creative illustration, is how our imaginations come to life. Then, no matter what, the fantasy becomes a little more real. Imagination ca...

EGMG's The Show & Bronco are offering fans of New Orleans Music something that will have real Hip-Hop fans recalling the phrase...Pass The Dutchie on the left hand side.

The whole mixtape is filled with the extremes of everything a party lifestyle could be.

Y'all are going to be laughing before you finish this post! Female Rappers receive a lot of criticism from their female peers and male peers alike. As if it isn't tough enough for a female to compete in a male dominated industry already, females get talked about for trying to be to masculine with their rhyming skills. Confident sisters are accused of being overly sexy and in their minds they are trained to believe that sex sells. Another fact that seems all too real for some females rocking ...

Personality matters just as much as talent does in the Music Business. Iris P. is not lacking in the Big P. category. She has the voice and enough charm to hold the attention of her audience. The songbird has a sense of humor to.  When asked about intimate details concerning her sexual behavior, she politely stated that she has been making love, equating it to creating music. She also joked about not tweeting because her babysitter had her phone.

Besides noticing her sense of humor, we lov...

Cooking is always a big part of New years in my household. The traditional routine over the years, since as far back as I can remember has been to cook black eye peas and something green (cabbage or greens).

I found a great recipe on the Gianda De Laurentiis Website for Italian Fried Olives a few months ago. It was something fresh and new and I’m so thrilled that I tried them. They tasted absolutely delicious. They were a hit in my household.

Traditions can be an important aspect of family...

There are a few things that people in the city know how to do well. First, they know how to shop for brand name clothes. Second, they know how to stunt a lot ( #1 stunter). Last but not least, they know how to party hard!

New Orleans, The Big Easy, or what ever you want to call it, is known for it's party scene. From hole in the wall clubs to spots in the French Quarter. There is always some hot spot jumping somewhere in the city.

Nice Gunz has to be careful these days about how he's cruising down the highways, byways, and streets of New Orleans. On the Interstate and Intrastate, he is banned from breaking road rules and in danger of losing his Drivers License for good. That does not stop him from riding deep with friends though. When he does ride he is concerned about his style. Recently, Nice Gunz took the mic, showing off his lyrical hard bars. He did so wearing an affordable pair of kicks. Check out Nice Gunz shopp...

No we are not talking about a member of Hannibals Crew from the sitcom that ran throughout the 1980's called The A Team. That would be too obvious and would take away all the fun surrounding this new post. Let's continue so we can get to the juice. Yes it is a cruel reality of that New Orleans Lifestyle. Ambitious Female Rappers from the city are showing a side of themselves that is all to familiar. They seem to b...

New Orleans Rapper Killa Kash Santana has been doing his thing for a while now, so we were not surprised to find the likable video called Flight Nights & Morning floating around on the Internet. In it Kash Santana starts off with a chant like punchline "I'm bout to kill 'em all, why let 'em breathe, track murderer industry money scheme" then he goes into his verses with ease. Pictured alone sitting atop a freezer, he claims his mission is to rape the music game. His goal does not seem like a...

The business moves associated with making it big in the music game can give you migraine headaches, if you are not willing to put in the work required to establish higher levels of success. You have to be passionate enough to share your talent, you have to be motivated; most of all, you have to have a great support system. People who believe in you add more positive energy into the mix.

New Orleans Rapper Nice Gunz (Gunna) the spoiled one, is known by so many names until it's just getting to be fun and confusing ATSDT (at the same d**n time). These days he's violating more than the house rules of Mommy Dearest, Vanessa. Gunna's track record for violating Road Rules seems to be extensive enough to land him in the slammer.

The concept of having power rest on whether or not you realize you have it and then using it to your advantage to achieve goals. Looking at buying and selling, no matter if it be products or service, presents an opportunity to examine the role of buyers and sellers and how power balances differ for each of the two.

Loyal customers product knowledge, product manufacturers and bargaining skill all present opportunities for an exchange or demonstration of power. Take a look at how Abornewords ex...

There are so many different ways to prepare fish that are much healthier than the deep fried method, so it wouldn't be fair not to a least encourage our readers to consider grilling or baking. Grilling fish is the way you want to go, if you want to finish with something that is jam packed with flavor. I love grilled fish with lots of seasoning like green peppers, garlic, and red onions. Yummy! Baking fish is also great, but you have to be very careful to watch out for dryness during prepara...

Gunna coming out again tonight to do his thing at a very familiar venue in New Orleans, La, Le Roux. If there is one thing the good folks of New Orleans know how to do is have a good time. Gunna seems to be ready to give it to the crowd yet again as we had the chance to talk with him briefly. He talked about how much energy it takes to perform at your best.

There have been many songs created in the Big Easy by talented artist who could have really made major headway on a national level, but because of the unique culture and in part lack of effort on the part of many local artist, the amount of success received was only leveled throughout New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. Artist like Jubilee and TT Tucker are some local artist who worked the Independent to the maximum. Block Party DJ's know how to get it cracking for the hood. Radio stati...

Beyonce made her intention to become a mother by age 30 very clear before she actually made the big announcement of her pregnancy to the world on live television.

Every now and then, it is really necessary to upgrade your look and overall style. What brings you to this new found point of reinvention is not important. The fact that you are there means that you are open minded about change.

Feelings of self worth and increased self-esteem are similar reasons that encourage a lift in confidence or increased per...

The Autumn/Winter Y-3 Fashion Show that took place in early February was all about mysterious style with acessories to match.

Exploring ideas about how girls and boys enjoy playtime, similarities in style, and Lego as an alternativbe to Disney certainly puts the spotlight on recreation and quality time with family. A lot holds true in the ring of boy meets girl for playtime. Most boys certainly like cars, trucks, and action figures. That's why it doesn't surprise me that boys also enjoy building things with Lego's plastic toy bricks. Girls are not excluded from the boys circle of everything in motion hero or st...

Lady O has been in the news quite a bit lately. Before the Fresh Start Issue of O Magazine hit news stands, Oprah appeared on the Dr. Oz Talk Show. She's a natural in front of a crowd, so it wasn't a surprise to see her enjoying herself.

Besides sipping on the high fiber and low calorie mixture, Oprah shared some words of wisdom with Dr. Oz, the audience, a...

Estelle is the woman with the Thank You song that has women thinking twice about mourning over a relationship gone bad. She sings, "I wanna thank you for making me a woman" in a tone that is really expressing her acceptance of the fact that she has to grow up in order to really claim her womanhood status. In "Thank You", her lyrics seem to lead down a road of pain with little doses of joy along the way. Here is Estelle dressed in green hells and a strapless evening dress, attending The Art o...

It all took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The happy couple arrived to join other creative minds for a night out in recognition of talent and stardom laced with awards. Here is a photo of the Hollywood couple that acted their way into the hearts of all their true fans by working hard and staying connected to the things that matter.

The Queen was questioned by fellow Queen of the Talk, Wendy Williams who asked her about motherhood in a curious voice. She answered in her political beat around the bush voice. Here she is pictured in a green clingy dress along with Dolly Parton and Keke Palmer.

(L-R Dolly Parton, Queen Latifah, Keke Palmer)

In this photo she does not look like a woman who has kids. That green makes her look heavenly, angelic and pure as white snow. All she needs to finish that look off is brides maids ...

There is tons of beautiful lougewear being sold to the go out in your sleepwear crowd. That person in line at the supermarket who's standing there in slippers and a robe with gall written all over her face, is hopefully not someone you know or else you would probably die of embarrassment. Well here's a superstar who dared to step out in public showing her long lean legs, dressed in a robe, and wearing some gladiator looking heels.

It's Megan Fox y'all looking dreamy as ever. I love the w...

Exercise your expertise by introducing new ways to share the knowledge. Here are the pictures that I promised to provide on yesterday. I went back to the basics on these. I know you probably can remember when your teacher asked you to write a report and create a collage about your summer vacation. That was always so fun for me I know that you always hear me mention what I learned from my mother, but this is going to be a shocker. Some of my best reported stories that I shared with my teacher...

Brand knowledge is a very important aspect of the selling game. If you want to sell products and keep people excited when new products hit the market, you have to actually believe in the products you sell. It's the mark of a good salesperson. Customers sometimes want to hear what you actually think about a product, when you are engaging in interaction before you close a sale. That's why taking the time to learn about your products is key. I've learned that every step along the way before the...

Bad girls can turn on their appeal in neutral colors and Angelina Jolie proved it at the Gloden Globes. How do you feel about white, creme and ivory? Creme and ivory are the type of colors that I consider to be safe and very soft. Creme is a very feminine color. There's a certain gentleness about it that is soothing and calming. Creme and ivory work well in fashion because they coordinate well with any color. Angelina Jolie wore cream with a little extra surprise for the skeptics who doubt t...

Alright, I'm all for that be yourself and live up to your own expectations stuff, but when fashion is involved and the celebs are stepping out showing off everything except their goodies, fans have a tendency to make comparisons. We have our first ever who wore it best photo for you today. It includes (The Jersey Girl Jenny from the Block) Jennifer Lopez striking a pose, looking gorgeous as usual, and Model Eva Herigova. The dress is short and cute. Look at these ladies sizzle!

The President is a very business man, but he is making time to visit the Sunshine State this very day. He is pictured here pledging his allegiance.

The President is schedule to speak on Main Street and only those invited can listen live. He will offer his expertise and a meticulous plan to boost travel, tourism, and jobs, especially in Central Florida. Tourism has suffered across the country because of the struggling economy. Hearing the leader of our country speak will help to get ev...

Someone who we just love is Brandy, and I could not help but share a shot of this Cinderella Beauty with you. Brandy has been keeping it low key lately. However, she is still as big ever in the fame category. Everyone is abuzz about what is to come from Brandy Norwood ever since news spread of her collaboration with her back in the day (The Boy Is Mine) song rival, Monica. Who could forget that song? Brandy and Monica killed it! The video also helped to add to ...

I've heard of taking Corporate America by storm, but some information I read recently made me think of moonlighting in a whole different way. Break down the barriers and limitations you put on yourself because the information that I will share with you today will change your life for the better or at least provide some entertainment.

How does that old saying go? I think I remember the phrase reading something like: Blonde's have more fun. That very saying is ringing true for a woman who is...

Let's get a look at her style and elegance so that we will be inspired to show our own grace and style to the world. Her she is with hubby Mr. President Obama at her side all happy with smiles. Check out the black power of today's White House.

When I heard that the First Lady Michelle Obama had a favorite fragrance, I wanted to know what it was so badly. I sta...

Our opinion leaders can be labeled as celebrities, hero's, mentors, or whatever you want to call them, but these are the people who are setting the trends and serving as a model in our society. Their behavior sends us messages and helps us to create an emotional connection with their story. What we see is who they are in the public eye. That's all we have to look at most times. If there is a message that we can get out of the entertainment provided to us, then their celebrity or popularity i...

Kate Moss recently celebrated a birthday (her 38th) and according to some reliable sources, she kept everything low key. Having dinner with her hubby (Jamie Hince) where the highly regarded posh crowd hangs out was included. The place for the most watched and stylish is a Japanese Restaurant called UMU. Anyway, we are aware that she attended the Louis Vuitton Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2012 Fashion Show. Here she is pictured (with very little make-up) looking fresher than ever, and not a da...

Like King, I want to express my victory over defeat, by living it as I achieve. My stride never changes because the mission is clear, so I just keep going

The American Dream is just over there, although, I can see it more clearly at times, It really just depends on where I'm standing to weather life's storms or where  I'm at enjoying the view of my sunshine

The breeze still feels the same, unless it turns to a heavy wind and it is on my back, then it helps me, by...

Into going green because you care about the environment you live in? There are quite a few ways to get started on your green mission so that you can reduce pollution and minimize waste. Collecting cans is that old school way of doing something good for the environment while cashing in at the same time. You've probably seen someone walking down the street picking up cans before, if you live in a big city. Really, it's not an unusual sight to see, Receiving a little money is also a good way to...

It's so close to Valentines Day and a lot of wonderful things are happening all around me and because I am experiencing all of the high emotions associated with life, living, and being in love with my lifestyle, I want to share share product that expresses love sentiments uniquely.

The product featured here today is not only availab...

Paper, pens, and ideas, need to have a cute place to land as they come flying out of your cloud of thought. I've seen quite a few little journals up for sale at Barnes & Nobles that measure up in the cute category. However, the price tag and size can't compete with a collection of journals being offered under the Plan Ahead Brand. The Plan Ahead Jumbo Journals would surely be my first pick in any contest measuring style, affordability, and durability.  Take a look at this Jumbo Journal that ...

These days Dwight Howard is doing his best to play the game like only he could as the center/powerhouse of defense for the Orlando Magic. He has his own style of seriousness in the way he presents himself, but he also knows how to show a less serious side of his personality. How does he do it? First, he is not afraid to laugh or appear playful in front of a crowd. Behaving in such a way affects people in a positive way. For one, showing that type of attitude in public makes him more approach...

Have a love for the outdoors and a knack for piles of paperwork? Have I got news for you! It was viewed as a visual feast by some Readers Digest subscribers and going with that concept is easy. It is a sight to behold for sure. If you have ever wanted to remodel to add on that home office you have been dreaming of, you may be more anxious to start the process after you hear about an innovative idea that is being manufactured in the United Kingdom. Take a look at this structure that measures ...

We love doing steal the look here at Abornewords because there are always so many cool looks being pictured on the backs of celebs in their photo ups. We can't lie; everyone behind their desk here at Abornewords just thinks that the fashion forward crowd needs to know about hot outfits and talented designers. Showing you this fly picture of Kelis wearing that beautiful dress (with all of those flowing colors) will make more sense when you see the Nicole Miller Design that is similar in ...

Now that we got our girl flavor turned up extra high, we can not resist the urge to bring you something hot since new rap verses and other music has been previewed on a few popular blogs. The word is that all that new is claims to be what's hot for 2012. Well we want you to weigh in on Karmin's fIow and style, so you can judge for yourself.  I follow a well known music mogul who once said that he does not believe in genres. Kelis should be the poster child for the no genre campaign because s...

For every woman who has ever tried to avoid obsessing over every new cosmetic product that hits the market, you amy not be able to resist this one. What cosmetic product could possibly sway you to enter into the forbidden one of crazy about it can't live without it? I'll give you a few hints before I tell you. Does an obsession for color or a cherry on top ring any bells? What about school of hard rocks, cocktail bling, or size matters. Do any of those phrases mean anything to you? Well I sa...

Food aversions are not unusual. There will always be at least one member of your family who can't seem to wrap their mouth around something everyone else loves. It's true, for the family chef (mama, grandma, poppa, or you yourself) it can be pretty disturbing or even downright insulting for someone to gag at the thought of something you actually slaved over a hot stove to prepare.

The most important thing for you to remember is that the nutritional value of your food choices is what rea...

What time is it and who are you wearing when you stare down at your wrist? To some it may seem shallow if you choose an expensive brand over more frugal less expensive varieties, but the most important thing is to choose your products because of quality and the way they make you feel. Good energy equals happy feelings. Right now, I can't recall anytime that I have shunned euphoria. Keeping with the idea of an extremely high level of energy, I want to introduce a brand called Baume & Mercier....

Well I guess Bristol Palin (Sara Palin's daugther) is not living by Lady Gaga's words. Gaga's song The Fame talks about living for the material, having a taste for champagne, and just living for the fame. The exact lyrics that grabbed me and shook my being were sung by the Born This Way Monster as follows: "All we care about is runway models, Cadillacs and liquor bottles, give me something, I wanna be, retro glamour Hollywood yes we live for the Fame, Doin' it for the Fame".... Lyrics like...

Beauty tools, beauty products, fashion, celebrities and of course tons of other useful products and services is what we are planning to bring you this year in 2012.

Now though, at least one member of our team got us on track with what's hot. She has actually been using this amazing product for a few weeks, so we will share her words with you. "The Rimme...

The next best thing since Tweezerman is what we are calling the Sally Hansen Beauty Tools that are neatly packaged in see through luxe looking beauty trays.  Besides the branding the trays add to the presentation and make the tools look a little more fancy.    

Getting the ultimate make over is that one thing that can make you feel like a million bucks. Nothing is wrong with that either. A part of that high comes from letting go of something old and replacing it with something new. That feeli...

Before we go all in for the new 2012 with fashion, fixations, or otherwise, let us give you some of what we have leftover from 2011, as far as Jakarta goes anyway. There are outfits that you can't get out of your mind, and there are those that you just want to photograph so that the memory of what it is can be around forever. We can appreciate both situations because we value creativity in all forms here at Abornewords. We all have a story and we have something about us that makes us special...

Nicole Miller has officially given the word 2012 is a good year for sparkle effects. Sparkling in fashion can be shown in many forms, but it all really boils down to personal choice. Where can the sparkles appear? Let us count the way to show you the twinkle. Collars, belts, buttons, pockets, or sleeves can don the look of the sparkle. Having a glittery shimmer look throughout a fabric may be to much for some, but it really just adds flare. Sparkle or shimmer is not something that will overt...

It's here and we are going to let you feel our vibe like a rain that is not yet a drizzle but more like a gentle mist. Whatever sweet sounds you are hearing (in voice or in tune) none will measure up to the feelings of love or those some might call passion expressed in a song that is sure to increase the fandom of it's this well known artist. What's the name of this tune and who is responsible for bringing you this type of heat? She is the girl who grew up in this industry to become th...

The life of a Journalist seems so busy and it can take many turns career wise. Bait for the next story is always at the tip of the nose. That's the way it should be, if you are true to your writing or reporting craft. Newsworthy or not, the people want to know and someone has to be that voice to dish on hot topic occurrences that happen in this day and age. Politics is not dead, and we have not lost the urge to feed your political mind. It's just that we want to give it to you from a differe...

There is nothing like the feeling you get when you realize that God has blessed you with a special gift. Something that you can do well, but also a way to escape and find comfort and peace that no one can take away. More than ever this year, I found my voice and shared a lot of the things that mattered in one way or another. There were a lot of first, but mostly just a natural progression of improvements in how we delivered our content as a whole. To end the year, we just pray that e...

Textures, patterns, and prints are a big part of the design process. Choosing the right fabric and coordinating patterns to produce just the right outfit is a skill that designer learn to master. Well there are so many unique styles making their way down the runway these days on the backs of Super Models until sometimes it's hard to choose a favorite. Celebrities are wearing amazing outfits all the time too. At times, a celebrity endorsement is all it takes for some unknown designer to blow ...

There is something about leopard print that brings you a little closer to nature. Not such a bad thing when life tends to get a little tricky as you take those twist and turns toward your destiny. Our favorite products often provide a path of escape that leads us to an indulgence offering some comfort. Leopard print is one way of escape for me. It's like a fire of warmth (mimicking big cats of the jungle) that reminds me of my security. Here is a picture of my everyday carry along.

How you show your crazy is up to you, but Khloe and Lamar Odom are taking over the Nut Family with their new Wonderful Patashico's Ad ( Watch Here) and it is making married life look crazy cool. They are making couples and balling seem like they go together like mac and cheese. These two love birds are taking the shine away from mixed nuts which are usually very popular on the party tables of fans at game time.  Here's the happy couple all arm and shoulder close.

Dressing for the holiday season can be difficult when following the normal Christmas Tree fashion that rainbows the traditional colors of red and green. For some that look can get boring, but green is one of the most happy colors to wear, and red has always been associated with everything flaming hot. Looking fashionable does not always have to fit inside of the green and red box during the month of December. There are other looks that can take you to the next level of December cool January ...

Today is to important for me to let it slip away without telling you that life is a blessing, and we take that very seriously over here at Abornewords. We give all the glory to our Heavenly Father for allowing us to breathe, create, and gain wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Never forget that God makes everything possible. He is Alpha and Omega. He has supremacy in all things , even death. I prepared something special for all of you special people too so that we could at least share a mo...

You may not remember that we promised to bring you the scoop in our celebrity feature spot, but we have never posted the follow up. Well our delay is for good reason. At Abornewords words we believe in doing things the right way while respecting the creativity of others. There is value in recognizing that all contributions have real worth, so when we experienced a problem with obtaining the creative resources for use in the follow up post, we had to make some decisions. We could not get the ...

It's no time like the present to present some music that is totally expressive of an idea we all are familiar with but one that is often not followed in this world full of eye candy. It's nothing wrong with putting it all out there, as long as you remember what love should be and what it should really mean when you find that one who feels like your other rib in reality, mind, or spirit. Take a listen at Prima J on Inside Out.

Were on that red lipstick kick again because (red is often associated with a high level of hot) we just love to find ways to include the color or a spiffy alternative in our blog post, so that Abornewords Beauty Babes will be informed on the latest.

Say what? You are reading it right! Maybe you've seen it for the second or third time or some other number that makes it repetitive. It's all so necessary no matter how many times you can count the reveal. Talk to the hand if you have forgotten how fly a pregnant woman could be. Who does pose and turn better than the blonde who made putting a ring on it popular in a song and flashing it the new sign of step up and be a man? Nobody that I elect to tell you about at this very moment, so here y...

I cant help it, I just feel like messing with y'all because of the way I felt when I got the scoop on this one.  Striking resemblance that is all to common when it comes to having a clone of yourself. You know you have heard it too. We are suppose to all have a twin out there someplace, and this one is double the pleasure because it's a Celebrity look alike of a very famous sin.  Who does he look like to you? Laugh with me as you take a look.  Now how is that for LOve FaceS. I promised just...

Whatever happened to the good old days when females could be real good friends with a man without any strings attached with the intention being innocent and only leading to a platonic universe. Is it wishful thinking to expect that there is such a place, or can it exist under the right circumstances? In an ideal situation, it can exist if there is a mutual understanding and victory over the jump your bones episodes.

Accepting that is is okay to find your friend attractive is the first step o...

It's really time to have a little fun.

Take a look at an Abornewords Teaser. Why ya'll playing so much? Laugh hard please, before the big reveal tomarrow.

   

Fall is here and the signs are all over in nature and the outdoors is looking beautiful. Winter in Florida is like summer with a few unusual burst of a super cold breeze. Breeze being the chosen word because it never last long enough to make it to full wind. There is no longevity in Florida's winter days. If there is a span of 2 weeks or so, consider that the worst it will probably get before temperatures are rising on your thermostat again.

Around this time of the year I always feel like I ...

That feeling you have about the love of your life. You know it exist, but for some reason you can't put it into words. Well, take a look at someone who managed to say it loud enough for everyone to hear!

In the song E.T. she verbalizes her feelings and one word keeps vibrating over and over again in my eardrum, alien. That word alone should take your thought process into UFO mode or at least put you on the moon as your heart is focused on the love of your life. Feel the high of life a...

It's the dreaded T, and I'm not talking T-Pain for all of you Chopped and Skrewed fans. The Big T that you need to be aware of can make you look 10 years older and can eventually lead to balding. By now you probably have guessed that the mystery T is called thinning. Thinning is something we all may face at some point. It can be hereditary, result from improper haircare, can be a side effect of medication, or result from some type of illness. Whatever the case may be, thinning hair is no jok...

Technology can take you to unbelievable levels and when it does that is certainly a happy day. Efficiency in anything related to lifestyle, increased output, or improved performance in our everyday task makes life a lot easier. Making something more practical by elevating speed often equates to higher levels of productivity. Then completing everyday task becomes easier. Working and playing within the daily 24 hour window we do have requires some maneuvering, especially for busy families with...

The NBA Superstar Dwight Howard has asked to be traded, citing one reason in particular as a factor affecting his choice to leave. What is it? Simply, his "voice" in team decisions needs to have more of an impact. This all seems like a bad dream that many fans will have to relive over and over at first earful, but at least the shock of it all is not done in last minute spontaneity. The Orlando Magic Center is soon to be a free agent, so if team officials are planning to take full advantage o...

Fashion is something that peaks the interest of almost everyone on some level since we are covered in some type of fabric most of the time. Things get a little more complicated as we choose what to wear because of personal taste and also the influx of varitey available on the market. Now fashion is not only something to wear. Gucci is taking fashion on the road? How? The new Fiat 500 by Gucci has incorporated the Gucci design into motorcade. It's a fashionable approach added to your driving ...

Life is about those moments that define us in a make or break rise or fall. Yeah, you may be telling yourself that who you are is not something that you need to be reminded of simply because you know who you are. However, if you get stuck on that notion, you will eventually miss out on many opportunities to become a better person or a better performer (of some sort) at whatever your craft may be. Remember, the post we shared with you about Chris Noth? If you have forgotten, he used his celeb...

A Separation tackles the difficult topic facing many adult children who are faced with whether to assume the responsibility of caring for aging parents with debilitating diseases. Who will provide care? Nadar (played by Peyman Moaadi) and Simin (played by Leila Hatami) are struggling to decide whether caring for Nadar's father is more important than seeking a better life for their daughter outside of the country of Iran. Simin's own desire and concern for her daughter causes her to be persis...

Ruffles move and dangle while your body is in motion, drawing attention to your every move. With a little effort on your part they catch the eye easy and are an attractive detail that compliments any piece of clothing.

Deciding to become a career athlete requires a lot of discipline, but rest assured that Li Ning is not lacking it at all. In fact, during his gymnastics career he won so many medals. Six of those medals are what defined his fame, after he participated in the 1984 Summer Olympics which was China's (The People's Republic of China) first year of participation. After Li Ning's retirement he entered the business world starting a company called Li Ning Company Limited. Footwear and sporting appare...

We love pictures and we love pictures of beautiful people. Time and time again, we have said in so many words, use your fashion choices to make a statement and show off your personality.

There is nothing that could be so stricking as a photo besides capturing the actual act and being lucky enough to be in that moment which is really all one snapshot really is anyway. A moment in time that can only be recreated but surely one that you can not get back. The photo below was taken of (Rutger Hauer) who plays Ingrid's (played by Carice Van Houten) father in the movie Black Butterflies. It depicts him as he disapproves her writing.

The show ended early according to Gwen IFill, but it was not for lack of conversation. Everyone was all in and there are a few new looks adding the mix of personalities which is all good. The payroll taxcut issue kept rising to the top and the reasons for the stall on the Republican and Democrat side were analyed by new comer (for Abornewords) Greg Ip who has an articulation style that makes you want to zone in and pay attention. European Banks and also how their moves on debt security would...

Since way back Tom Cruise was the guy everyone knew. Then when he got serious about his personal life to profess his love, Oprah Winfrey's sofa paid the price big time. He became that guy that everyone could relate too. When you are as famous as this pistol toting movie star, callateral comes easy. He has it all and his swagger is not exaggerated just because he is one of Hollywood's finest on the big screen. Get your bonoculars out, but stay away from his home, bring them with you only in f...

Never leave home without it! Your high tech, fast paced, on the move lifestyle is what makes convenience a necessity. Star gazing perhaps?

There are a lot of wonderful blogs out here in cyberspace that are actually wonderful. The content is informative, entertaining, and reflective of my culture, and interest. Those are the key elements that make a blog great, and those are really the only relevant things that should stick out and matter to anyone who is visiting a blog.

Abornewords has time for a quickie, and today we are into sailors big time. You will want to be in on this if you are into Mark Twain Literature, love the ocean, or maybe you are just fascinated by surfers and waves. Certainly if you never heard of Skippers, the idea of something new may take some getting use-to. Until you get all into the idea of what Team New Zealand does, let me just tell you that Chris Nicholson is the Skipper who lead the team to the runner up spot in Capetown. Here's ...

Since Oprah Winfrey doesn't show up five days a week in our livingroom anymore, it kind of makes you wonder, what is she up to other than the obvious hustle over at Discovery. Of course, you know and you've probably heard that she was able to secure a nice deal for herself, and we are told, it's a big percentage of the profits. How much? Seriously, be honest with yourself, it really doesn't matter, since she is like an ozzillionaire anyway. In honor of Oprah Winfrey, this is going to be the n...

On my list of people I want to know, learn more about, or just plain be like, Condoleezza Rice is right up there with Gwen IFill. Her qualities make speak volumes, and they make her an asset in the business world. Shes savvy about the world and issues that impact government and society in general. On a personal level she is even more valuable. Just think if you could call someone up to chat or get advice. Honestly, I would want her on my team. Having someone who is well rounded and brilliant ...

MontBlanc writing instruments sounds so fancy, but it is rightfully befitting for such an important object used to bring pen and paper together. Because of the construction of these carefully crafted pens, you may occasionally lean to display and admiration instead of a spill of your thoughts.

The most unique of the editions, the Montblanc John Lennon Limited Edition 70, is a prestigious collect...

An escape to some things that are easy to look at and hard to resist is a fitting description of the latest from the Jakarta Fashion Show Runway. This time, a peep at our latest picks represents the takeover by Jakarta guys strutting for designers and fashion forward people like you. Their stance on the runway will make you take a second look. Dressing men is fun, but (some women will tell you) the task is not so easy. If you want a man to look fashionable with his suit off, it just might get...

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. At some point in your life you have heard this phrase or in an attempt to convince some resistant child to ear, you have uttered each and every word with general concern. Hot cereals like oatmeal and cream of wheat are ideal breakfast choices and the nutritional value is a parent pleaser. However, in today's fast pace environment, many families are looking for quick and simple breakfast choices that are healthy and tasty. Quaker is making it ea...

It's a movie directed by Maneesh Sharma starring Anuska Sharma and Ranveer Singh. In Bollywood, it's all the rave. Want to know how this movie measures up?

 

The plot stacks up as a classic case of innocence bound to transition into something serious, showing an admirer with stalker like tendencies. How harmless is the presentation of a gift? In this case it serves as an in-between that allows Bittoo Sharma (played by Ranveer Singh) to meet the mystery college student, but the amicable exchange...

Everyone has a way or style to use when getting it good. Down into something deep, and a profound sense of self. You know you do it! Stop trying to play innocent because I brought it up. It's how you dance to your favorite song, or the way you wear your hair on a fist date. That thing about you that you don't mind sharing. Alter ego perhaps? Whatever you want to call it. I bring it up here only because I am privileged to be in the process of getting to know a lot of talent, and the door is op...

It seems that there are major issues in the air that concern the allocation of funds. As if that surprises anyone right? Realizing that no one person or side for that matter can solve problems alone (or at least without cooperation) is a start. Presenting a plan or ideas in conference that opens the door to discussion is what will lead to a solution eventually, or a valid attempt to fix something that appears to be broken. Within the political realm it's always about creating a stable workabl...

The food choices we make are important not only for the obvious reason of weight management but proper nourishment. An unhealthy diet that is high in fat, high in sugar, and low in fiber is like a gateway diet that makes a person more  likely to develop Type II Diabetes. Genetics plays more of a role when considering obesity as a factor causing the disease. Type I Diabetes usually occurs during puberty, but it can also happen at any age. Genetics plays less of a role as far as the disease pro...

We were able to get our hands on a few good shots of a couple of the International Jury Members and also some head shots of a few who we certainly wished we had photographs of on the Red Carpet. Nonetheless, we do realize that it is always fun to dress up for a night on the town so imagine how over joyed you would feel, if you were going to a ceremony full of talented people. Large and in charge is an understatement. How sure do these VIP's look alll done up from head to toe? Let me show you ...

Love over the loud outbursts coming from your boyfriend is the phrase you keep repeating to yourself every time he has another episode. There are disagreements, arguments and just times when your partner points out everything he sees wrong with you. What about you and how do you find your peace of mind? How do you avoid the confrontation when he is singling you out? Providing a platform to allow him to express himself is key.

Create a response plan.

The response plan should include behavoir th...

Leaving a legacy is very important for most of us. Our accomplishment, beliefs, and our contributions to society serve as a reminder of the impact we have on others. It represents acts, deeds, or as some may call it, service. The imprint that of our lifetime. Her is Mickey Rourke leaving his mark. See how he landed?

Looks like Rouke fell into a bad guy persona as he plays in a lot of tough roles. Rourke stars as King Hyperion in the action packed 3D adventure, Immortals. The villain meets...

"The eyes are the window to the soul" now has become a part of the lyrics to a song called eyes from the artist Kaskade. Contemplating on that powerful statement is really a search for deeper meaning in the absence of language. Finding meaning when eyes meet and looking for a non-stated message means expecting communication to happen on another level. Think about these senarios. A mother looking into the eyes of her child at age 21. The moment your clear vision returns after an eye examinatio...

Something that makes you reflect, something that challenges you, something that pushes you to your edge and takes you to your destiny. Where is it exactly and how will you get there? The path may be paved and clear sometimes, but just in case you are seeing a blur, here's a little help. All the time is when you should be working and doing the things you love. You should like your job if you are so blessed to have one in this unpredictable economy, but you still owe it to yourself to take some...

Here they are:

It's an Asian persuasion, but do I have to convince you to think in terms of the unfamiliar language of the stars who sound a little different from you? The creative voices sound to the tune of Band Baaja Baaraat. Confused? English is something close meaning Bands Horns and Revelry. Not to much of a lesson but certainly a little clarity. The movie was released in December of 2010 and is now nominated at this years Asian Pacific Screen Awards. Take a look at Senator Chris Dodd delivering the k...

During the holidays the wide variety of food available sometimes makes you full just looking at it. Nonetheless, it's something I look forward to every year. Mealtime brings everyone together, and it is comforting when I reflect on all the things I have to be thankful for.

Sweet Potatoes are tasty vegetables, and thanks to our great Agricultural Chemist George Washington Carver, we can enjoy eating these vegetables while feeling a great sense of pride. Pumpkins are no match for Sweet Pota...

Brokenhearted and nestled in the comfor of your home? It is no surprise that all to often ice cream is the break up food of choice when things go wrong and relationships end abruptly. Well, variety never hurt anybody. I'm not talking Neopolitian either, at least not in a bowl while wearing your favorite slippers. The break up binge is dead! An alternative course takes you down a path leading to everything diary. The perfect option. Instead of staying home feeling sorry for yourself, ...

There's nothng like a movie that takes you back to the place where your imagination has room to build its own world. A place in your mind that plays out scenes that serve as a mirror to your thoughts or a reflection of something similar. Immortals promises lots of adventure. The places you travel to as you watch this film will remind you of Greek Methodology. Total movie madness, as the villain meets the hero, rampage and courage clash.  Meet the King Hyperion and his adversary Thesus.

A video has surfaced with a report on Rihanna's reaction to the single life with her words being quoted verbatim, according to a trusted source. The singer apparently believes that the single life is not cool. Does she somehow equate going stag with being alone? Rihanna has been in a few relationships, but none have turned out to be long-term for better or worse.

Well there are a great number of people who will tell you that everyone has a twin. Not a biological twin but a stranger look alike walking around on the street just may be your mirrored reflection. I have all to many times myself seen people who I have mistaken for someone I know because of the striking resemblance. True or not, it kind of makes you wonder in an eerie kind of way. Take a look at these cute look alike kids. They are not twins but look very similar.

More on look alikes. Rec...

Afraid to die? What's in a name?

Immortals the movie is here. Response and reaction at first glance from the Abornewords camp was not hard to make. Looking only at the Teaser Art, we thought of Braveheart, fighting, and fire. Check out what I mean and see for yourself.

This is just a glimpse of what's to come in our post, but it should keep you warm until we spill that real fire. We will be unfolding more in future post about the movie, cast, and other details of interest. Oh and mo...

Lifestyles of the rich and famous may interest you if you are into the glitz and glam of the boomerang lifestyle. The fast lane living and expensive toys are the surface goodies that often make our eyes pop. Who can help but look right? That very lifestyle has many average citizens questioning their decisions in love too. For the stars relationships sometimes end before they have a chance to develop. Saying I do and making it last seems rash if you consider many celebrity marriages that end s...

Attention to your topper ladies, hairstyles are something we love to rock. Our mane is a huge part of who we are, so it is likely that you have a signature style that plays into your personality. Up dos, slanted bombs, short cuts, shaved kicthens, bone straight, ponytails, and tail lengths are all being worn with style and lots of attitude. That is why I want to ask you to remember how far an accessory can take you. Hair accessories of course ladies, and today we bring you a limited edition o...

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 unbelievable 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 haven't already finished this page turner. ...
