Magazine Death, TV Life

Sad to say, Gourmet, one of my favorite magazines, is going bye bye. This is the second magazine loss that I've dealt with as of late (Domino was the first). Hate to see it go, but at least Bon Appetit is still going strong..

With any loss, there is always gain. Glad to know that although I am losing a magazine, G. Garvin is back on

TVOne with Turn Up the Heat. This show has been on hiatus or something for like, two years, so I'm glad to have it back. This time around, it seems fresher. Yay G.

Also, my absolute favoritest designer is [semi] back with [semi] new episodes. I love, love, love Kim Myles and

I don't really understand why she isn't forefronted more on HGTV. She is better than many other designers on the network, yet she can't seem to get her shine. Myles of Style is innovative on so many levels, and the creative aspect of it is far more entertaining/beneficial to the average viewer. I don't want to have to pull the race card but...I'm just saying.

Cause It Was Funny...

Bread shoes. Like, for real, for real.

Max Sansing: My Artist Friend

Max has ALWAYS been a great artist. We went to high school together, and I remember always looking forward to seeing his sketchbooks and graph work. He's truly evolved, and I am just proud to actually know him. I hit him up today to ask when the next gig is, and I found this. Google him.

New Crack: I Am...Eau De Parfum

Nothing to do with Sasha Fierce, Bey, or anything of that nature.

This is my new obsession. Found this in a boutique up North and was like, "ooooooooooh". I Am has dope scents that are not too overpowering, or smell too much like typical department store fragrances. Apparently, these have been around for awhile, but I'm just getting hip to them today. The purpose of I Am is to provoke the senses and stimulate a sense of being whatever it is that you aspire to be. Per its creator, "Scent has great power to elevate emotion. Scent can soothe, energize, arouse or inspire...I Am has created perfumes that can help remind you of who you are: use them to focus on your assets, blessings, and gifts." It may sound kinda cheesy, but after sampling ALL of the scents, I agree with its purpose. My personal favorites were I Am Rich, I Am Me, and I Am Good...not sure if that was indicative of anything...he he he.
