The Birthday Girl, Marian Anderson

Love the hotel flowers

What a great time I had on Friday night celebrating my friend Marian Anderson’s Birthday. It was held at the beautiful St.Regis hotel with just her close friends. I arrived and headed up to the Wine Bar and thats when the party begin. We laughed so hard talking about relationships,men,shoes and more.

Jayda Boo and Marian

Marian has been a well known writer for corporate america for years. She also has a blog called, Haute Travels. She lived in Chicago for many years but moved to Atlanta a few years ago. We sipped wine, snacked on bites and then the hotel brought her out a surprise birthday treat. It was fun hanging out at our intimate affair with friends. Enjoy the pics and Happy Birthday Marian and many more to come! xoxo

Jayda Boo

Yesterday was a memorable experience in more ways than one. Jayda Cabbell (who some of you may know as “Jayda Boo” if you’ve been reading my blog for awhile) and her husband Johnnie Cabbell has launched a great business. You may think thats not so memorable but to Jayda it is because she’s a Katrina survivor and she launched her business on the 5th Anniversary of it to pay homage to the victims of the storm.

Some of the Cabbell family

Jayda has always been a Diva to wreckin with. Sometimes we chat soo long of all the passionate things she wants to do with her life and how she can help others. She will forever be blessed because her heart is in the right place. I think more people need to be like her and get off their butts and help someone else out.

Their facility is an event rental space,lounge cafe and more. There is 3 sections to the building where you can have private events without disturbing the other guests.It’s equipped with flat screen tvs, projector screen,bar area,patio, full stage and dj booth and valet services.You can come to Licquid and relax while have a cup of coffee, while surfing the internet. You can have an event, private screenings,mini concert or listening party, book signing, workshops,private catered dinner parties and more! I plan on having a bloggers workshop there really soon. Licquid is located in the Castleberry Hills section of Atlanta where a lot of new businesses seems to be popping up.

Board Members

Jayda was too excited to cut the ribbon and get the second line going lol. She had lots of people come out to support her with her board members by her side.DJ Blak was playing some great tunes, while people toured the space. I also loved the idea of the New Orleans style snow balls truck pulling up and serving us a cold treats.Enjoy the pictures and many years of success to The Cabbells. Next time your thinking of a place to have your event, give them a call, you will get a fair deal and great customer service.

Blogger crew

Hey everybody my pressure is up and I still have itis lol. I had my very first Blogger’s Luncheon today at Cafe Decir and it was a hit! As much as I love my job it can be very stressful but I just keep doing it like a fool lol. No but to be seriously a dear friend of mine David Decuir opened a new cafe in the Smyrna area of Georgia. I told him I would create some buzz about his business by inviting out some of my fellow blogger buddies.

Owner David Decuir and I

We had a great time today and the food smelled and taste soo wonderful! David did a Pinktastic job with the spread and ofcourse the pink decorations. We were served bite sized sandwiches, chicken salad, teriyaki chicken, swedish meatballs, and artichoke dip that was the bomb! It was topped off with mango sweet tea and pink cupcakes and cake.

I’m so glad so many of my blogger buddies were able to come out to sample his new orleans style southern cuisine! Everyone seemed very pleased and I do plan on doing more of these throughout the summer so stay tuned!

I would like to thank David Decuir, Victoria’s Secret, Sal from Paparazzi 2020 and my assistant Pia for making this happen. I also want to thank my blogger buddies for taking the time out to stop by! Enjoy the pics and happy thursday!
