Hey Guys!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Thanksgiving with the people you love the most! Don't forget to count and appreciate your blessings. We are very thankful for all of our readers! 

With Brandy

Now this past week was pretty exciting. I want to say thank you to Shaun Lewis for the exclusive invite to Rocsi Diaz’s birthday bash, which was held at Covet! For those who don’t know, she’s the host of BET’s 106 & Park. 

Shaun, is the CFO of Touchtone Ready Music and Indie Records. He is also the market consultant of an eco-friendly clothing line called UM2clothing! I love meeting entrepreneurs and getting their stories. It's so inspirational. Stay tuned for his interview!



With Wyclef

Overall, we had a great time -- the venue gave off a relaxed-hip vibe. There were so many industry people at this party. It was awesome to see artists like Brandy and Wyclef there! Jess and I danced the night away to the beats provided by DJ Prostyle & DJ Brown Hornhit. This was definitely a star studded event! We felt very VIP.

On Friday, Jess and I went to this neat Mixology event that took place at PNC Studios! It was a night that showcased mixologist, Keana "Kit" Prescod‘s drinks. The event inlcuded an UNLIMITED tasting of all her creations. It was pretty cool! We tried four of her signature cocktails and gave our opinions on them. My fave was called “Hot Lips.” It was literally a HOT drink and for those who know me, I’m a big fan of “spicing things” up ;) (lol). This drink is perfect for the holidays!

I want to give a s/o to Angie! - Thanks for the invite girl! Angela is the manager for Front Stage Radio so make sure you tune in, Monday - Friday from 10PM-1AM only on UrbanLatinoRadio.com -- its the most CONTROVERSIAL ONLINE RADIO SHOW out there!!

Yesterday was Sazon’s very first Acoustic Tuesday! I couldn’t stay for the show but from what I heard from sound check, Zeitlin Perez and Art for Money sounded incredible!!! I’m excited to hear the feedback from it… and once I do -- I will let you know.

God bless you all and remember your network can determine your net worth!! So go out there and mingle! Make a name out of yourself!!

With that said...

What's up, 

This past week was kind of exciting...

Me with DJ Prostyle

Samantha and I kicked it off on Wednesday night at Covet Lounge. Covet Lounge is an ultra sexy, upscale lounge located on on 55th and Lexington.  Covet gives off a very exclusive vibe and hosts a very trendy, fashionable crowd which was perfect for the special celebrity-filled birthday celebration for BET's 106 & Park host, Rocsi Diaz. With an occupation like that, its no surprise that the stars came out to celebrate her 27th birthday!  Samantha and I bumped in recording artists, Brandy, Wale, Wyclef and the Retro Kids as well as actor, Vin Diesel.  DJs - DJ Prostyle and DJ Brown Hornhit played great music and had the crowd hyped. Samantha and I made a few great connects and had an awesome night.

HP: Deathly Hallows

Last weekend, while bored at home ABC Family ran a Harry Potter weekend.  They played all the films, one - six, the entire weekend in anticipation of the upcoming seventh film. The marathon had me super excited (bbm embarrassed face), since I'm kind of a Harry Potter fan (just of the movies though, regrettably I haven't read the books). So this week, I definitely bought tickets to the midnight showing of the film Thursday night/Friday morning (a little corny, I know lol).  Awesome movie!!! The only thing that sucked about the film, was that this is of course only part one...so I left the theater wanting to know the outcome -__-.  SPOILER ALERT!!! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 picks up with Harry, Hermione and Ron racing against the clock to finish Dumbledore's work and find the rest of horcruxes to defeat the dark lord, Voldemort.  While on this journey, the trio's bonds are tested to their limits and they stumble upon the meaning of the deathly hallows and its importance to Voldemort.  While all this is happening Voldemort is getting significantly stronger and his death-eaters takeover the Ministry of Magic. (bbm "Whew" face).

Keana "Kit" mixing up a "Honey Suckle"

On Friday night, we were here at PNC Studios for Keana "Kit" Prescod's Check My Mixology event. This event was a unique tasting of unlimited cocktails mixed exclusively by Keana, herself.  Each drink was carefully paired with the perfect hors d'oeuvres (courtesy of Confections of a Foodie) to bring out the delicious and distinct flavors of each cocktail.  Not only were there unlimited drinks, but music, art and giveaways representative of each cocktail. Keana started off the night with "Communion," her signature sangria mix. "Communion" contains fruit that has been soaking in blackberry brandy overnight, like still maintaining its original crispness and taste.  The second drink of the night was "Sugar Baby."  "Sugar Baby" is Keana's take on a classic margarita. She actually uses organic brown sugar around the rim of the glass, that gives it a very different sweet taste from other margaritas. Next was Keana's "Hot Lips."  This drink was definitely hot! What was really interesting about that cocktail, was that there were little pepper flakes that heated the apple cider up. Keana ended the night with "Honey Suckle."  In this drink, Keana drizzles honey all over the glass (creating a web-like design in the glass) and then pours in the whiskey (along with a special mix)!    

Samantha & I at Covet Lounge

Well that was my week (*shrugs).

I hope everyone has an awesome Thanksgiving!! Be sure to not only spend time with family and friends, but to show your appreciation for them too. 

Song of the Week: "Cosmic Love" - Florence & The Machine
