Tarina Tarantino

Over the weekend I traveled to Jacksonville Beach,Fl to see one of my fav chicas! Yes, I got to meet Tarina Tarantino in person can you believe it? OMG, I had a blast! I’ve been a fan of hers for several months now and I find her creativity to be so Pinktabulous! Her trunk show was held at It’s Eclectic, owned by Theresa Kloko. The theme was, The Wizard of Oz and Tarina told me that she was approached by Warner Bros. for the remake of the movie. Thats what inspired her for her new collection.

It was hundreds of people that came out to see her and her new pieces. The jewel pieces and accesories were to die for! Fans wore all their sparkly pieces and I even wore my Barbie necklace that she personally sent me. It was so nice to be in the same room where women have the same likeness, Pink and Sparkles, Fun!

Tarina said she chose Jacksonville Beach,Fla to come to because there is alot of sells there and she is very popular in this area. The store owner Theresa said she cant keep her things in stock.

I also got to meet Alphonso, which is Tarinas hubby! He was so fun and reminds me of my hubby. When I’m out doing promos my hubby is right there taking pictures and videotaping for me. You can tell he really loves her and that he is happy for her success. Nothing like having a great support team. Alphonso told me he sold his car, so that Tarina could fill her first order, Awh thats love!

The pics are awesome and Kelly Osbourne, Debi Mazar, Larvar X, Chole and Olivia Campos and Holly Owens are featured in the book!

My water babies

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Ever since I can remember, my kids loved water. I use to have to yell at them to get out the tub or shower lol. I got my kids swimming lessons early in their lives because there has always been this stereotype about black people not knowing how to swim lol. I took swim lessons in high school and so did my husband. We all love the water. When our kids came along my husband and I agreed to get the kids swim lessons. After the swim lessons, our kids have lived at the pool from sun up till sun down.

Pootie and Dootie(their going to kill me tee hee)

I watch my kids play at the beach and pool and they seem to be at peace. They get along, there is no bickering our arguing and they play well together(maybe I need to install a pool in my house lol). I dont know but they really love being on beaches too. Over the weekend we had a chance to take a mini vacay down to Jacksonville Beach, Florida and my kids absolutely loved it!

They played in the sand,watched people fish, and gathered seashells along the shore. We really have water babies and I’m glad we introduced them to the water. I just sat back and let them play and explore and learn. If I wasn’t so afraid of Tsunamis or hurricanes I would love to build a house right by the ocean. That would be so wonderful…Sigh. Well, until then take a look at these pics. The kids said to me, “thank you mommy, we had so much fun, the beach is fierce!”
