*Entergalactic*

Hi my Friends! How are you?

And Just Like That (p.s. did you hear the 2nd season has started filming?! *SCREAM*)...it's October! The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, ghouls and goblins are hangin' on front lawns, and pumpkin spice is pretty much everywhere. Soon (but not TOO soon) we'll be pulling out Winter attire! That is seriously a crazy thought...anyway though...staying in the current season - I feel like Fall is the time to unwind and reset. I mean...I'm still coming down from Summer LOL! The vibe for Fall is definitely chillmode. I'm not saying I never wanna turn up in Fall, I just sometimes enjoy a cozy night in. you know - ordering take-out, spiked warm drinks, cozying up to the fire, watching movies. Honestly, just give me a good show and a blanket and I'm good any day!

As luck would have it, I stumbled across a magically creative film the other day on Netflix called Entergalactic. It's a Black, animated, feel-good film created by Kid Cudi, Kenya Barris and Ian Edelman. Disclaimer: I'm not typically into adult animation or cartoons, but Entergalactic is a different vibe. I instantly told my besties about it LOL😜 It's just so cute and refreshing! I decided to watch because I'm a fan of both Kid Cudi & Kenya Barris, and also because of the look of the characters (they digitally resemble the actors who voice them: Kid Cudi, Jessica Williams, Laura Harrier, Ty Dolla $ign). No spoilers here but I will provide my brief synopsis: Entergalactic follows a talented Black artist named Jabari who just landed his dream apartment in New York City and an amazing job illustrating for a comic book series. one tiny catch though - his new apartment happens to be next-door to a Black, freespiritied P.Y.T named Meadow. Their connection is instant & undeniable. But you've heard the saying "Mo Money, Mo Problems" right? Lets just say their relationship is tested and Jabari is forced to figure out the balance between success & relationships. As I said earlier this film is refreshing. I find it refreshing because it's light-hearted, and I don't feel Hollywood provides the Black community with enough light-heartedness. A lot of Black films portray some sort of trauma, and it's just nice to have a happy ending (that isn't corny!) sometimes, you know? just my opinion. Oh, and did I mention the Soundtrack to Entergalactic?!? Elevated & Amazing! Entergalactic does a great job of bringing the art of film & music together. Well, that's my 2 cents. Let me know if you've already watched, or plan on watching Entergalactic.

Hello beautiful people! Happy Holidays! oh, December. such a special month. symbolizing the end of another year. If you're reading this, you've withstood everything that was designed to defeat you this year! Go, You! 🎆 2022 started off pretty rough for me but smoothed out as the year went on. I was blessed with opportunities to connect with old friends, change my scenery, make new friends, create and have Time to truly sit & think (that last one is good/bad LOL! #overthinker) While thinking/reflecting I realized this was a very transformative year for me. It seemed at every turn I learned more and more about myself & my relationships. Truth be told It brought up some ugly truths, and honestly had me thinking I was figuring everything out late or delayed in my Own life. but then I remembered a quote by my dear friend Carrie Bradshaw "Your 30's are for the lessons"... look at me learning lessons & growing & Healing. and apparently on time.

FashionAly Fangirling: Quinta Brunson

Image
Hey peeps! How's it goin in your world? The first time I saw Quinta Brunson was while watching "A Black Lady Sketch Show" on HBO when it premiered season one. Shortly after I saw Quinta on her hit ABC series "Abbott Elementary". Both shows are delightful, and if you haven't heard of either you must be living under a rock! Just sayin. Seriously though, Abbott Elementary is one of my favorite shows these days. Like everyone else in the world I am anxiously awaiting season two. I get that classic feel-good vibe while watching. The same vibe I used to get while watching T.G.I.F shows back in the day. If you don't know, T.G.I.F - 'Thank God it's Friday' premiered back in the 90's on ABC. It was a weekly Friday night lineup of about 4 feel-good tv shows. *Trying hard not to age myself* I must humbly say, they just don't make 'em like that anymore. Anywho, to no surprise Abbott Elementary was recognized at the 2022 Emmy Awards with 7 tot

My Best Friend's Closet

Image
Hey there friends! Been a lil' minute. Hope you've all been in high spirits.   Well, let me begin by saying Happy November! I know I sound like a broken record, but honestly, how is it MID-NOVEMBER?! Wasn't it just Summertime? Even though I'm already missing the warmer temps, I gotta admit November always reminds me to slow down and be thankful. Gratitude and Positive Thinking are key elements. I may not have everything I want, but I have everything I need, and for that I give all thanks to God.  I am a very blessed woman. I consider my lifelong friendships to be one of my life's biggest blessings. I suppose it's more like Sisterhood at this point in life💗. Which leads me to another segment of My Best Friend's Closet.  Once again, Essy let me play in her closet and style her up! They say "do something you Love and you'll never work another day in your life" (or something along those lines), and for me playing dress up hardly feels like I'm
