2. Watch This! Bangkok Dangerous

Nicholas Cage is starting off the fall movie season with this action/thriller movie. Bangkok Dangerous is supposed to be one of those high paced movies with a lot of edge of your seat moments. I hope that it is all about the hype because Nicholas Cage is a great actor, despite the terrible hair cut they have him sporting in this movie.

3. Wear This! “Cowl Neck Top w/Belt”

This top is super duper cute and it is the very thing you need to look like a star with the fraction of the cost. It’s long and some of you may try to use it as a dress by itself but putting some cute leggings under it may be all you need. You can find it at Forever 21 for $22.80.






















4. Hear This! “Keri Hilson f/ Tank - Do It”


Keri Hilson is bringing the ultimate sexy with Tank on her new song. With the LL Cool J beat from his song Doin It and it is definitely doing it for me. For the video they should just have Tank walking around with no shirt on.

5. Do This! “Watch The VMA’s”


The moment we’ve all been waiting for is coming up on this Sunday. The VMA’s usually are an awards show that pleases almost every time. This year again, Britney Spears is opening the show but not in the way that we are used to seeing her. She’s not singing this year and I want to know who I can complain to about that (or is she). Brit Brit has been looking great lately and might just be ready for real this time to perform. Check your local listings for time.

The “package” is a mysterious young woman with a secret.

3. Wear This! “Shirred Sleeveless Dress”

This dress is super duper cute and it is the cutest thing to wear to the club this weekend. It’s short, it’s cute and even better it is all of this for a very cheap price. The feature I love the most is that instead of having to carry your purse with you, it has front pockets. You can find it at Target for $19.99.














4. Hear This! “Raphael Saadiq - Staying In Love”


Raphael Saadiq is back and doing it again with this new single “Staying In Love”. This has a very old feel to it, it’s a very throwback feel. I totally love the groove that Raphael is sending out with his much anticipated album. Super sexy, talented, and oh so orgasmic.

Snuggle up with a good book that you can read before or pick up one that you have been meaning to read that looks interesting.

Ice Cube has done it again in the family movie department. Talented young actress Keke Palmer is his co-star in this one. Ice Cube is playing Keke’s down and out uncle that ends up coaching a football team. He soon discovers her natural talent for it and she goes on to be the quarterback. This should be a good one for the family this weekend.

Paula Patton is simply super splendiferous and even though she is scared most of the time in the movie, she is still beautiful. Kiefer Sutherland, from Fox’s 24 hit is also starring in the movie about mirrors that are like a gateway to a truly evil presence in a department store.

3. Wear This! “Leaf Dangle Earring”

These earrings are not just cute but they are also very cheap and you have to move fast to get them. It is super duper cute the way that the shape of the earrings have such a great and cute leaf detail. You can find it at Forever 21 for only $2.80.
























4. Hear This! “Musiq Soulchild - Radio”


Musiq Soulchild is back on the scene with his new single ‘Radio’. It sounds like he has hooked up with some producers from down south to get a signature sound. I really like Musiq and this new song seems as if it will be a good song for the club or one to play while you are getting dressed to go to the club. A little something to get you amped before you leave.

5. Do This! “Throw A Barbecue”


Last week I talked about calling your loved ones and letting them know how much you care. This week let’s go one step further and actually get together for a barbecue or dinner, or whatever it is you and your loved ones do together. Let loose and have fun with them while you can.

1 oz peach schnapps
4 oz orange juice

Directions:
Pour all ingredients into glass over ice. Stir well.

2. Watch This! Pineapple Express

This summer has been big on comedies and this movie is not going to be in short supply. Seth Rogen plays a stoner that has come across some real good stuff called Pineapple Express. The usually orgasmic James Franco plays his dealer and Seth has witnessed a murder and now they have to run for their lives. I know it doesn’t seem funny at first but when you add a murder mystery with potheads that suffer from paranoia after hitting the blunt one good time, it does add comedy.

3. Wear This! “Warped Bangle Set”

I came across this cute accessory and just couldn’t resist this warped bangle set. It is super duper cute the way that the shape of the bangles are slightly warped, just enough to give it a little character. You can find it at Forever 21 for only $5.80.


















4. Hear This! “Raphael Saadiq - Oh Girl”


Raphael Saadiq is no stranger to the music scene and has rightfully earned his place as bonafide soul artist. For those of you that may look at home and say that he looks familiar but you may not be able to place his face, let me help you. He was in a group in the early 90’s called Tony Toni Tone and they were some of the hottest musicians at the time. This song shows that Raphael has not lost a step.

5. Do This! “Tell Someone You Love Them”


Sometimes when we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life we forget to tell those that we love that we appreciate and love them. Call that loved one that you haven’t talked to in a while or that friend that has always tried to be there for you that you love them. Just you doing and saying something so simple could just make their day and yours too.

5. Do This! “Eat Fruit”


For a quick snack that doesn’t involve any cooking, get a variety of fruit, slice/dice it up if you have to, put it in a bowl, and top if off with whip cream. I can feel a drool coming on right now.

If you are looking for a good laugh this weekend, this is the movie you want to see. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are teaming up again for this side splitting comedy. Some of you may remember the two in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. This time they are two men that become stepbrothers at the age of forty but act twelve years old.

3. Wear This! “Linked Hearts Necklace”

If you are going out this weekend and are looking for that perfect accessory try this necklace. It is super duper cute the way that the hearts are linked together. You can find it at Forever 21 for only $7.80.


























4. Hear This! “Eric Hutchinson - Rock And Roll”


New artist Eric Hutchinson has a very unique sound and talent to bring to the industry. He kind of gives me a feel of Justin Timberlake with a hint of Gavin Degraw. The song itself has the kind of appeal that you would have to listen to a couple of times to really like it, but the first few times you find yourself tapping your foot.

2. Watch This! Batman: The Dark Knight

Love muffins this movie is filled with plenty of action and just as much buzz. There are plenty saying that the late Heath Ledger gives an Oscar worthy performance. Looking at the trailer for this movie, they might not be wrong. Let’s not forget the absolutely orgasmic Christian Bale that stars as the hero of the night. Maggie Gyllenhaal is a former fling that it seems like he wishes never got away. I’m just waiting to see the close ups with Christian Bale and those piercing eyes that just melt me. Take me higher lord!

3. Wear This! “Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Lip Gloss”

Part of fixing up your face to go out on the town or just out is to make sure you don’t look a hot mess. Great eyeshadow, perfect foundation, and lash lengthening mascara mean nothing with ashy lips. Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Lip Gloss in Nectar Nude could be what you need to compliment your look. This can be found at Target for only $6.99. Looking great does not mean you have to break the bank.

4. Hear This! “Gym Class Heroes Feat. Busta Rhymes - Peace Sign Up/ Index Down”


Gym Class Heroes is a breath of air to an industry that some people believe to be a little stale. Travis McCoy has a way of grabbing you with his charisma and lyrics. This track was produced by Cool & Dre and is featuring Busta Rhymes. We all know about haters and this song is speaking the truth that we should just be glad for each other’s success and make sure to show gratitude to those that have always been there for you. I’m feeling this song.

You have worked all week and your bills are paid for the month, what do you do next? That’s right love muffins, going shopping is one of the most relaxing ways to treat yourself. Sit down and budget how much you have to spend and want to spend and go for it. Buy something splendiferous and work it to the fullest extent.
