I’d see him all the time but I never paid him any attention. He lived in the building across from me. Always smiled, sort of an evil grin…but I just never paid it any attention. Ran into him at a couple of social spots, shot him a glance, a dainty wave, and kept sippin. Still…never paid him any attention….until… … Continue Reading
I’m not even quite sure how we met…might’ve been Twitter. There aren’t a large percentage of people NOT (excuse the double negative) meeting through social media networks these days, but I found out that we had quite a few mutual friends. As I got to know her, I learned that she was that chick you needed to know. She’s resourceful, loved and adored by her friends, adventurous, outspoken, comical, a former gymnast, a RAWKIN’ barmaid, and an all-around genuine woman. She’s a “boss” among her colleagues, and has been the Editor-in-Chief of GraeGram for the last three years. Today we highlight one of our own…Tania Breton or as she’s widely known, TLB, is our B-sides feature for this week. … Continue Reading
Ever find yourself starting a task and then losing momentum? It’s the most mind-boggling thing. Think about it.

Well, sometimes fraternizing afterwork on a Wednesday isn’t always the best choice. One late morning, and your whole campaign just begins to crumble. That one late morning continues to spiral into another and before you know it, you’ve fallen off track. Why did you fall off track? Aside from discipline, which is a HUGE factor, it’s probably because you didn’t have S.M.A.R.T. Goals. I’ll explain. … Continue Reading
Peace Friends & #Fashion #Aficionados,
Like many of you, I did indeed tune in to the 84th Annual Academy Awards, better known as the #Oscars last night.
Though I anticipated the same fashion buzz that always surrounds this red carpet evening, I did not anticipate for there to be so much online traction based on the hairstyle options of Viola Davis and Esperanza Spalding as well as the mass critique of the former leading lady of the film “Precious” (whom I am not naming to not gain false traffic to my site). … Continue Reading
Peace Friends & #Fashion #Aficionados,
“Ladies Prefer Gentlemen”… don’t they? That question was answered without a doubt at the quaint Hype Lounge in NYC this past weekend.
I often have a tendency to predominantly cover women’s fashion; however gentlemen deserve to get a notable mention and tip of a fedora in their direction as well, for often putting their best dressed foot forward. … Continue Reading
