This week’s posts were heavy heavy regarding matters of the heart & spirit. Tsk. Tsk. You can either marinate on it or say eff that and watch the “sure to come” House Wives of Atlanta reruns. *SMH* GT would rather lick a subway pole than to watch that hot mess of uninspired underwhelming-ness. But then again you got call girls apologizing to wives on national TV so why shouldn’t women of color have the same shot at low vibration dough?

As promised random link love for those two days of joy, pain & Thanksgiving prep. Have a great weekend and get into it!

If you’ve given your calendar a second look lately; you’ll realize that the Holidays are creeping in Full force. Before you know it it’ll be January 9th and folks will already be reneging on their New Years Resolutions. But that’s another post. Read the rest of this entry »

Yep. GT is on a tear today. I just feel like blogging my life away cause it’s making my heart sing. So on a style tip here are some unique ring finds for standout style and gifting inspiration.

Wanna make my face light up? Show me a great bag, shoe or jewelry accessory and GT will show you a smile from ear to ear. Clothes are nice; but shoes and bags never let you down; they go with everything. This weeks Etsy Item of the week goes to a shop by the name of Morelle. The bags are aptly named Truffle bags and are understatedly chic and hip. My fav is number three and GT thinks she might have to bag it. Pun intended.

Lets do some follow up cause GT wouldn’t be worth a damn if I didn’t offer my readers and lurkers some ideas on how to eat the elephant in your life’s room. But remember…GT don’t do advice…cause grown folks 18 to 80 do what they want regardless of what you tell em…don’t they?….so let’s just say that this is what I do when turning into a hot ass mess… Read the rest of this entry »

The space between where you life is at now and the dream life that you have for yourself depends upon how in touch you are with that thing that GT calls “that nagging.”  ”That nagging” is that invisible force that tugs and pulls at your heartstrings and has you up late at night watching fat blaster infomercials and “absolutely no money down” schemes sold to you by people who wear imposterific toupees.

Cyber hugs to lurkers and GT readers…what it do?

To start off quick my weekend was meh. That’s it. Meh. But GT’s grown enough to know that every weekend won’t be a peach when you’re living this thing called life.  My kitchen sink clogged, my laundry grew outrageously, the produce that T bought this past week rotted in the bottom of the fridge, and worst off T absentmindedly forgot to feed “Seymore” my low maintenance Beta Fish over the weekend. It rained all day Saturday and into the night in New York, and Block Buster’s shelves’ were raided. Shout outs to the universe for that thing called daily renewal.

Anyrottenway…how was you wkd?

Some interesting as hell things happened this week. Hilary C. could soon be our next Secretary of State, Mama Africa Activist/Singer Miriam Makeba has gone on to the upper room, The Pregnant Man is well…preggers again, Aretha has the baddest pipes eva according to RS, and say word some Doctors in Germany cured a man with AIDS. Life just moves on whether you want it to or not right?

Here’s some Friday Link Love, a few bones, nothing to flip your wig over; well there’s one but that’s my issue just randomness GT finds interesting. Have a great…and get into it. Looking forward to your Monday beeswax.

In an effort to not try to stuff it all in one post; here’s your Etsy item of the week. It’s Holiday without being too Christmas-y. And a perfect affordable touch for those of you who prefer to keep your lines simple and clean. Perfect to hang jewelry on and their only seven bucks and fifty cent for two. You read that correct. The company is called Brooklyn Rehab and there located in Hipster Williamsburg. Enjoy!
