Last Friday, I was invited to a Ross Blogger Breakfast Event in which selected bloggers were able to learn more about Ross Dress for Less during a fabulous breakfast. We also had the opportunity to attend the soft-opening of the Ross Dress For Less in Chesterfield and pick out some items before the grand opening event which was taking place the next day.

Some of you were with me when I was major Blackberry fan. Then last year, I crossed over to the Android and have been happy with the switch. But as of last Thursday, I became an iPhone 4 S owner.

Laura Kathleen will be in the house helping attendees win a $100 Macy's gift card for creating their own look with clothing items from Macy's in a fun style challenge. People participating in the contest will put together a look for a special occasion such as a dream job interview or red carpet event.

Check out my review of Daree Allen's new book, What's Wrong with Me?, a girl's book of lessons learned, inspiration, and advice. It's a book that helps our girls with self esteem, empowerment while sharing tools for conquering life's issues that are often ignored and seldom discussed in an open forum.

While Apple’s iPhone has remained consistent with a 3.5-inch screen, Android manufacturers keep pushing the boundaries with larger and wider phone screens. Android juggernaut Samsung just released their Galaxy Note via AT&T, which is a hybrid phone/tablet with a 5.3-inch screen, the first Android phone with a screen that large.

Dancing With the Stars has always been must see TV for me. But the new season and cast is making me all warm and fuzzy. It's chock full of some of my favorite entertainers and boasts and impressive line-up, moreso than other seasons. The mamba and the cha-cha is never going to be the same again.

Black History Month is wrapping up, but it's never too late to celebrate and embrace the differences in us all. Diversity is a subject that I feel should be discussed all year around, and the folks at cable's On Demand agree with me.

When blogging goes wrong, you may find someone else who steals your work without giving you proper credit, or jacks your style and/or uniqueness. Don't bite someone else's work!

Sony once again proves that they are upping the ante when it comes to premium digital experiences with the use of technology for everyday gadget users.

As I previously blogged, I was in Washington D.C. and was on my way back to St. Louis and missed most of the red carpet fabulosity. But you know I cannot miss the opportunity to share with you guys the hits and misses on the 84th Annual Academy Awards red carpet.

Each year, Essence magazine celebrates Black women in television and film that have had an amazing body of work and who have helped shaped Hollywood, breaking barriers and taking names.

Queen Oprah and all of her glory, will be coming to my area of St. Louis on March 26th. I nearly did a somersault in my home office when I read the email announcing that Oprah along with Bishop T.D. Jakes and Iyanla Vanzant would be coming to the Lou for a special Lifeclass session.

In 1998 (the year of the film, Titanic), I had an Oscar celebration complete with cupcakes with platinum and gold frosting. We also had our own "Oscars" in which we voted on our favorite movies in each category, and I used envelopes with gold embossed seals to open the results.

Let's get this out of the way right now. I am not proud of the fact that I watch Dance Moms. If you don't know what Dance Moms is, it's a reality show focused on 7 girls who attend Abby Miller's Dance Studio in Pittsburgh, PA, alongside their mothers who often clash with Abby, and sometimes, each other.

Okay, so let me preface this post by stating that I have tried on 2 previous attempts to stop drinking soda completely. The first time I did so in 2009, I stopped drinking soda cold turkey for about three months successfully, before falling of the wagon.

A huge faction of blogs that I read are from Brown Bloggers---as a blogger of color myself, I enjoy supporting others who are working to get to the next level just like I am. So I wanted to point them out and make you familiar if you aren't already reading their blogs. Hopefully, you are able to add them to your reader or subscribe to their feeds and share them with your friends as well.

First off, working at home takes dedication and a strong work ethic. You have to be able to self manage and stay productive without someone encouraging you. And, you have to make sure to not fall into the lazy trap and allow your "home" life to overtake your "work" life. Working for yourself at home is not as easy as it looks!
