Is it algebra?
A stock?
Stocks and bonds?
Trading things?
WTF is mining? Sounds complicated.
Is it fake money?
Real money?
Can I buy food with it?
Drinks?
Dranks?
Drunks? Wait… nvm.
Alright though, we get it y’all. You made $5 when Bitcoin hiked for a sec. Stop posting your coinbase links, NOBODY CARES ROBERT.
Also, on a separate, not shit talking note. Is it worth it? I need to know. TELL ME ALL OF THE BITCOIN THINGS.
Let’s be real here.. i’m not going to miss seeing Toby Keith AND Three Doors Down. That being said, I figured let’s make the inauguration fun aka come up with a reason to get drunk & weird.
Step One:
Get copious amounts of alcohol & solo cups because dishes suck and being lazy is always the way to go… am I right
Step Two:
If you have friends, invite them over. If not, drinking by yourself is always super fun too. Make sure you invite fun friends.. the person who is super political and bummed about the election is just going to be a debbie downer. This is a fun game about drinking.. and the presidential inauguration I guess.
Don’t buy food. Make your freeloader friends pick that shit up.
Now for the game:
Every time Trump said Mexicans: DRINK
Every time Trump says Make America Great Again: DRINK
Every time he refers to his super hot wife: DRINK
Every time you find yourself contemplating how many spray tans he must get to look that orange: DRINK
Every time you see his toupee move: DRINK (let’s be honest that shit isn’t moving I just really wanted to say something about his toupee)
Every time Trump makes this face: DRINK
.. Or this one
.. Or this one
Or this one…
Or this one…
LOL JK
By now you should be prettttty drunk or at least well on your way.
You’re welcome.
Also, let me go ahead and say I don’t give a single shit about politics. I could care less who is in office and it really doesn’t affect me much unless we get nuked and everybody dies. Other than that, if my gay friends can get married, booze is legal & Netflix stays $8 a month I am alllll gravy baby. Don’t comment with anything negative or your annoying opinions about the election- I don’t care & nobody has time for that shiz.
Keep it weird, friends. Let’s Make America Drunk Again.
Good vibes only,

I haven’t been able to post because I have been putting all of my effort into S&FW, my new boutique! Quick back story: this is something I’ve wanted to do for SO long. I noticed I was surrounding myself with a lot of people with ‘ideas’ but none were actually executed. So I did it. I bit the bullet and with some extra money from a paycheck I filed for my business license. From there it was uphill. I applied for about 8 loans, and because of some stupid things I pulled in college, they all got declined. I was back to square one. Kinda hard to get inventory with no monies… So, it started at about a 10k purchase order, and I had to ween that down to $1500. I filed my taxes, got back my return, and instead of paying off my credit cards (whoops) I decided to take a chance and buy inventory for the store. When I got everything in it was a rush. Had to schedule a photoshoot- had to make up descriptions and enter all the products online, enter tax rates, shipping, etc. With the help of some amazing people, both local photographers and my beautiful friends (aka the modelz) everything was finally starting to fall together. A lot of sleepless nights, and working after work to wake up and go to work again, it launched. I have never felt such a sense of pride and happiness in anything I’ve done. I was SO OVERWHELMED by the support I received upon launch from my friends, family, and even people I haven’t talked to in forever! It was incredible. People ask me what I’m doing on my lunch break (at my day job) and I’ll tell them shipping orders out. While they think this sounds horrible (and I admit it isn’t the most exciting part of the business) I am so motivated and excited to do it. It may not make sense to most, but hey, idgaf. It’s my baby and I can’t wait to see how much it grows in the coming months!
So that’s where I’ve been. I’ve added some shots below of the product line- check it out. I’ll be back next week with a new, witty, opinionated post about something totally unrelated. BUT SERIOUSLY CHECK DIS SHIT OUT.

–So, I’ve heard a few people ask, why isn’t there a Tinder for girlfriends? I’m really curious why there isn’t. Like oh you watch Scandal? Me too. Your house or mine? You like red or white wine? Done.
But then I think of how girlfriends are these days and I realize why there isn’t. You can’t really trust anybody.
Maybe I’m biased, but if somebody I hold close is stranded on the side of the road in South Carolina, you’d better believe I’m going to get out of bed and go pick your ass up.
I hate how society has these standards of how girlfriends are, what they talk about, etc. I don’t have small talk with people that are part of my tribe. We have empowering conversations. We don’t talk behind each other’s backs, we have them covered if anything. Women empowering women, why isn’t there more of that shit?
These days some girls have become so catty, surface, and play dumb for attention because that’s what a man wants. Or at least that’s what you may think. I don’t care if my independence and intensity intimidates a man. If you can’t handle me, it wasn’t meant to be.
And no, your party friends are not your ‘good friends’ UNLESS you hang out outside of clubs and bars, and they know things about you others don’t. Unfortunately, most of your ‘party friends’ don’t know much at all about you, they are just a pretty face to go out with. It’s sad how surface things have become and I personally would much rather have a close knit group of friends who I can talk about life, business, goals, and self-growth ideas than ten thousand acquaintances ANY DAY of the week.
Women have been taught to be subdued in society and I’m loud and proud that I haven’t conformed. I’m not a crazy feminist, or anything. I’m just saying… us as women should look deeper and find those good connections that are going to help you grow as a person. Set goals, have a support system.
Women Empowering Women. Hell yeah, I support it. We need more of that.

So, winter is in full swing here in “HOTlanta” (yeah…ok.) So you know I had to GTFO. These are some of my winter looks, along with some from my little weekend getaway to Miami (why isn’t it called HOTami or some shit..? You know, since it actually always IS HOT AS HELL down there.) Just wondering. Anyways, see below for some fashion inspiration for all my fashionistas. Since i’m super trendy and all.. Go with it.

Better late than never, right?
DO:
Be naughty, save Santa the trip.
Cuffin’ Season: The season almost every human being on the planet ‘cuffs’ themselves to a significant other for the holidays.. blah, blah.
You know the second you walk into Thanksgiving or Christmas you are going to have to endure an invasion of questions about babies, significant others and why you insist on living at home alone with your cat. I have a few tips. If you’re single during the holiday season and sick of seeing people getting engaged on social media, getting married and having babies:
Step One: Crawl under the covers
Step Two: Stay there
Just kidding. But in all reality, my defense mechanism is to divert the conversation to bunnies, or unicorns.
If you are like me, you can also do my go-to. Stuff a large amount of food in your mouth and just nod at them until they go away. I also will point out the fact that I already have a child, even though he is ten years old, 12 pounds and covered in fur who are you to judge? It totally counts.
Good Vibes Only,
