wouldnt it be great if airlines issued you a paracheute as you enter the plane? 

As alot of you might have noticed while shopping for a new phone, sneakers, and ipods, RED is everywhere!!!  What's Red got to do with you? Well..for one, its a very simple way for all of us to help impact the lives of many in Africa.

When you choose to buy any (RED) product, that (RED) company gives a portion of their profits to buy and distribute anti-retroviral medicine to the men, women and children who are dying of Aids in Africa.

So many companies have joined in and become part of the (RED) Movement. Motorola, Vanity Fair, Gap, Apple, American Express are just a few.

So if you need some ideas on what to buy..here are some suggestions:

I really love what Converse is doing to help. They have created Make Mine Red. You the shopper get to custom design your own Chucks!! 15% of the net retail sales goes to Global Fund. I was on the site, and had a lot of fun designing a pair for myself!!

If you're a fan like I am of the soulful singer Joss Stone, buy her latest music video on iTunes!! She has contributed 100% of her sharings to Global Fund. Dang, she's talented, beautiful, dating my man Raphael Saadiq and generous!!! I LOVE HER!

So the moral of my blog is: shop wisely..and be a part of change =)

love ya'll!!

A few days ago, I was flipping through the channels when i saw something that interested me a great deal. Who killed the Electric Car was on HBO. This was an interesting question for me. First of all, i had no idea that an electric car was ever produced…. second why had I never heard about it?

Bob Teixeira decided it was time to take a stand against U.S. dependence on foreign oil.

This Sunday is Father's Day everyone!  What should you give your dad, or for the ladies, your baby's daddy?  Well my list of 5 things should give you an idea…plus it has everyone's budget in mind 

#5 Ipod Nano (starting at $149):

So your dad, grandfather, or husband is getting hip these days.  They are buying 70s classics on iTunes and blogging about their political stance or favorite gadget.  But they are still listening to their outdated CD walkman.  Ipod Nano is where it's at.  It's slim, holds up to 8 gigs of music, and most definitely stylish.  Your dad most likely won't need an 80 gb Ipod so this little gem is perfect to hold their Eric Clapton or Eagles tunes. 

#4 Jack Black The Core Collection ($52):

Jack's full size daily shaving and skin care essentials in one complete set. Three core products. One simple solution. Guaranteed to result in clean, healthy skin in five minutes or less—what more could any guy ask for?

#3 Global Chef's Knife ($88.95)

This 8-in. all-purpose Chef's Knife is Global's most popular knife. Your top choice for slicing large quantities of vegetables, fruit and meat quickly and effectively. Loved by professional chefs around the world, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The thin and razor sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient and maximizing its flavor.  Great for dad showing off his cooking skills!

#2 Hallmark Card (less than $5)

Who doesn't love a card on a very special day devoted to you?  Seriously, a card is huge karma points for anyone who gives them.  Plus, it does NOT dent your wallet.  A handwritten letter works just as well!  Just make sure you express honest, warm, loving thoughts within them.

#1 A HUG!! or phone call if you're far away ($priceless)

A hug or a simple "I love you" is a true way to show that you appreciate the man that contributed to your arrival on this planet.

Every time he gets on stage the entire internet is waiting on their toes….

Begging for the next bit of innovation, the next morsel of cool, the next big thing. Read the rest of this entry »
