TOMS

<3's the kids.

One for One Movement

In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by TOMS customers.

Why Shoes?
Many children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or going to school, these children are at risk:
•A leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted diseases, which can penetrate the skin through bare feet. Wearing shoes can help prevent these diseases, and the long-term physical and cognitive harm they cause.
•Wearing shoes also prevents feet from getting cuts and sores. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected.
•Many times children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to realize their potential.

The phone fast ( January 31 - February 6 )

Day 1: Woke up early today. I thanked God for the day, made some coffee, took a shower & brushed my teeth all before I picked up my cell phone, saw a few texts and facebook notifications and put it right back down. Then I picked up my guitar and played for a couple hours until my manager picked me up to go to the studio. After a days of work and fun in the studio I went to a karaoke bar in Burbank to meet up with some friends, sang ‘Summer Nights’ with my best friend Bree, laughed a little, danced a little & went home. I admit I picked up my phone a few more times than I should have but I wasn’t on facebook or twitter all day & I re-learned that living MY life is way more important than reading about someone else’s.

Day 2: My sisters birthday party is Saturday so I had to send out a mass text, & then proceed to respond to everyone who wrote back; so much for not texting lol. Had a few friends hit me up throughout the day that I admit I responded to so they wouldn’t take it personal or think I was ignoring them, but no extensive conversations. Had a career changing meeting in the afternoon, had some bomb food & then went back to the studio. The drives to the studio are long so in that instance I justify texting because what the hell else am I supposed to do in the car lol. I did pick take one call to give a good friend some advice, and had a short text conversation with another close friend but still no twitter or facebook! I put my phone on silent most the day but I still am in the habit of picking it up to check it, I gotta stop that! I constantly have random thoughts that are usually tweeted right away .. felt kinda good to just smile and keep them to myself. This is me & Gods life, not everything is meant to be shared with the rest of the world or my thousand & some twitter followers!

Day 3 & 4: The 3rd day of my phone fast was exactly a month after I sacrificed something kind of unheard of back in January. God didn’t tell me how long I was giving this thing up for, he just said to give it .. so I did. At this point of my life there was someone very close to me that needed it more than I did. It was my car. It felt weird at first, but I did pretty good without it. My car ended up breaking down on the person I loaned it to so it was out of commission towards the end of the month .. but on the 3rd day of my fast, EXACTLY a month after I gave it up, my dad fixed it & I was able to make it out to a rehearsal in the IE! God is good, all the time. Lesson learned: having absolutely nothing but everything at the same time. Sometimes we may not have all the tangible luxuries we desire .. but being able to eat every day, having a roof over our heads, being filled with Gods love and surrounded by our friends & family are the things we need to realize are most important .. so I went to the IE, had rehearsal, hung out with some friends, laughed enough for the whole week & in all made some pretty silly memories that I was content with keeping exclusive instead of broadcasting them via internet! & the next morning I vacuumed my car! I seem to have a new found appreciation for Salsa Verde (that’s my cars name). I came back to LA spent some Q.T with both my sisters and then went to my show and did what I do best! I sang my little heart out, chilled with some friends, made some new ones & then came home to do the other thing I do best, sleep. Felt good to live in the moment & enjoy my night without worrying about a text conversation or what everyone else is doing via twitter. I did have to pull out my phone to send a couple emails for Bullets & Bows but that’s business so it doesn’t count as a distraction . . . appreciate, live, love, laugh, enjoy.

Day 5: Got called in for an early session today. Didn’t charge my phone last night so it was on the last bar by noon, but I surprisingly didn’t care. Took my sis to get supplies for her bday party tomorrow, went & hung out with a dear friend .. had some margaritas and some chips&salsa, had a few laughs, made a couple toasts and then me & my sis stepped out on the town & hit Venice beach, one of our favorite places in the world ! This was definitely an enjoyable day .. and once again I was happy to keep all the laughs and randomness to myself. Exclusiveness makes memories all the more memorable.

Day 6: Day 6 was definitely an interesting one. I don’t usually drink much but it was my sisters bday party so we got pretty turnt. O_x all in all , despite the things that didn’t go over so well, we had a good day/night .. it was looooong, but fun. Until I started drunk dialing folks I kept my phone in my pocket all day. There was so much life to enjoy right in front of me that there was no need to be on my phone. There were plenty of things I could have tweeted .. the people who were there can second that lol . but that’s the beauty of it, if you weren’t there than you missed out !

Day 7: #thehangover .This day was spent in bed, in & out of sleep until about 8pm when we all headed out to Riverside for our show out there. I didn’t even have the energy to be on my phone if I wanted to ! &&this is why Danni doesn’t drink !! lol hearing stories of things I said & did the night before . . those are always interesting stories. The show in Riverside went well then we came home & I slept my little heart out.

Technology fast re-cap: All in all this week was a good week to do this fast because there was a lot going on that I normally would broadcast via twitter or facebook &/or text and bbm people about. Throughout the week I re-learned that our lives are worth cherishing in the moment. We allow ourselves to be so distracted by the outside world & staying connected that we unknowingly disconnect ourselves from our friends & family and the moments in life that are most important. We can be in a room full of people and yet everyone will be on their phones texting or tweeting. Our generation has lost their sense of appreciation for each other and has become too dependent on technology to stimulate their minds. I’m not pointing fingers because I am just as guilty. We have so much potential to change lives and be a light for other people’s darkness, but being buried in our blackberry & iphones could hinder us from being just that. Your life is authentic, treat it like so. Appreciate yourself, your friends, your family and the memories you make. Live, laugh, love & enjoy ;]

happy birthday sis !!

the mis-hap of a fashion show .

December 10th."Meeting of the Minds"fashion show review:

(or lack there of) smh

December 10, 2010 - 10:30pm : After weeks of preparation, hard earned money sweat & tears put into designs from every designer, hours of hair/makeup& styling models ; were all standing backstage taking each breath with excitement & anticipation for all our hard work to finally be showcased for all who came to support our movement that evening. Looking around at all my fellow designers and how much weve all grown as individuals in this fashion industry I was in awe. At this point everything was going perfectly and the joy that filled the room is one that cannot be described in words. . .

December 10, 2010 - 11:00pm : SHOWTIME ! the music starts .. the stunning miss Star Brown prepares herself to kick off the show in her BLOWD attire while everyone cheers her on waiting for their turn to rock the amazing runway ahead, completely unaware of what was to come next. What was supposed to be a 2 min time slot turned into 3 min , which then turned into 5 min of a model on the runway changing into another look which resulted in the cancellation of the remainder of the show.

Opinion : Never mind that the first designer went over his allotted time, now one of his models is changing clothes on the runway of one of the nicest upscale clubs in LA. This show was about showcasing EACH designer and the progress we've made. Regardless of if your line opened the show, was 5th in line or was dead last, there was a criteria to be followed. Apparently the first designer didn't feel like it applied to them and ruined it for the rest of us. Now, I know it wasnt intentional to have the show shut down, but there were some choices made that were not the smartest. Everyone makes mistakes, yes. But now the issue is the arrogance after the fact. Nobody else got to fullfill their evening yet you insist on posting the pictures of your models on the runway everyone else looked foreward to walking on. This particular person knows I have nothing but love for him and his designs, but he crossed the line & now upset everyone. He should have stepped his game up and made better decisions point blank. I hope we all learned from this experience. At this point we can only move on. Forgive & forget .

The show must go on. 

Erykah & that scarf.

i most certainly will be re-creating this scarf Erykah Badu wore at the 2010 Soul Train Awards ! Not to mention I'll prolly end up covering this song soon lol

<3

the greatest thing in all the world is to love and be loved in return.

cute video .

&this is my response;

Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes : but he that harketh counsel is wise.

Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath : but grevious words stir up anger.2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright : but the mouth of the fools poureth out foolishness.3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

• I pray for you and your piece of mind . Amen

my people will be distroyed for the lack of knowledge - GOD

The Legend known as Lauryn.

This woman has been an inspiration to us all. The messages in her lyrics & the God sent voice to back it up. I will listen to her music for the rest of my life & it will never get old. A legend. A leader. A messenger. The epitome of a musician. If I could model my direction after any artist it would be this woman right here. I hope to touch peoples lives the way she has. God did an amazing job with this creature.

the Bows walked for AIDS.

  Sunday October 17th my Bows & I walked 6miles for a good cause. Saw a lot of familiar faces and made some new friends. We were singing and dancing the whole 6 miles. That in addition to the rain explains why we all looked a mess at the end lol. We had a good time. When we finished we treated ourselves to Roscos followed by a well deserved nap!

The Bows & their fearless leader!

Last week one of my best friends came to visit from Atlanta, Georgia. We ran around Hollywood all day shopping, eating, talking to & meeting the most random people. Enjoying the LA sunshine while it lasted. Thanks to my trusty blackberry & my awesome photography skills I was able to document the day. so, here it is (in no particular order) ...

My day with Alex Koonce & friends.

Special shoutouts to Arizona ice tea for sponsoring the day; to Amy the artistic genious; to Spongebob for the chase; to the homeless man outside of Mels; and to Krystlasia, Sulem & Bryttien for making the day as entertaining as it was.

I love you Alex. <3
