UPlift: I Will Wait

Lifestyle, The KG Theory
I was reminded by a friend today of what it means to be a single Christian woman. ANYday I feel weak or discouraged in lack of partnership, this video will put me back in the right mindset.  My favorite line:  "...And I will know you, because when you speak I will be reminded of Solomon's wisdom". PREACH!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=igCj3jsbcqs My hope is that the reader of this post and the viewer of this video is blessed and changed for the better. Peace &Blessings, KG

My Musical Lovie: Dwele

My Musical Lovie: Dwele

KG on Scene, Lifestyle, Wellness
At PV Lounge, Dowtown Detroit 2011 Swoon As I try to become acclimated to this new city of mine I attend social events here and there. Recently I went to an Estelle listening party at the PV Lounge in Downtown Detroit. To my SURPRISE I saw my lovie Andwele Gardner (for you non-obessive fans that's Dwele) relaxin', chillin at the bar. Everyone seemed so non-chalant. I didn't get it. Does no one know of the magical creations he produces?  Old Lovas? My Lady? Is this mic ON? I was like OMG! Dwele! He's always so nice and receptive of my giddiness (I've only met him personally once before). I kindly requested a photo with him. He mentions how short he feels beside my six feet 2 (with heels) stature. We…

Pasta, Pesto, Shrimp, Oh My!

Food, Wellness
Orecchiette pasta topped with sautéed Argentinian Red Shrimp, creamy Pesto Sauce with Tomatoes and Rosemary Spinach I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this was (tooting my own horn). I've been making homemade sauces since high school. I've pretty much mastered it and love creating variations of them. This time I used my regulars (parmesan cheese, onions and garlic), whole wheat flour and sour cream (instead of milk). Can you say SAUCY? I loved it. I also threw in a tablespoon of the pesto sauce I love from Trader Joe's. The spinach was a perfect compliment. Yummy Yummy Yummy! Can't wait to make this again. Next time I'm adding mushrooms!   Do you make sauces? What do you use?

Inspired Look: Dorothy Dandridge

Beauty
I so love and admire Black actresses from the early-mid 1900's. You have to admire the determination and the grace they portrayed while they endured the trials of the entertainment industry all those years ago. Dorothy Dandridge is a woman who definitely blazed the trail for every Black actress today. I tried to re-create the look she had in these photos. What do ya think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_GhxynTS2o

What’s in My Bag: Shirley B. Eniang Giveaway

Beauty, Fashion Article
Love the giveaway that Shirley B. Eniang is doing. The prizes are super cool. My favorite part of the gift set is the eyeshadow. If I win, it would be my first eyeshadow! Sad, I know.  Welp, here it goes: My favorite Bag or Purse is this multi-colored bag I got 3 or 4 years ago from Aldo. It's got teal, a vibrant red or magenta, yellow and brown. Love these colors together! Some days I wish I could turn it inside out because the lining is adorable as well! If you follow my blog or watch my videos you know that I love versatility. This purse has clipped or hooked on handles, so I can take them off and add my own! A scarf or chain or anything I…
