Recap: The B- Word Screening

1. Celeste and the "Creole Sour Patch Kid" aka moi. Her words, not mine.

2, 3. Wanted to take this bucket hat home. I didn't.. I should have.

4, 5. The best sushi and tacos are on the West Coast.

6 - 12. Amoeba Music with my cousin and West Coast transplant Stee,

my new favorite hoodie and Grey Ant.

13. When in LA I drink Thai iced tea at least once a day. So good. My addiction.

14. Coachellaaaaa..

15 - 18. Pre- "The B-Word" screening selfies.

16. The B-Word played on six screens in RAIN nightclub in Studio City, CA. There was a good turnout and everyone seemed to enjoy the three films that were played.

17 - 18. The producing duo behind "The B-Word," The Celistan twins!

19 - 21. Post- screening fun. This wasn't the dress that I originally planned to wear.. but it was the first I tried on and I fell in love with the simplicity of it. It gave me a Carrie vibe. My sister Tamika was my date and she proved to be a true team player when the party moved from the screening to Sardo's karaoke bar! There's footage, but it will never get out.. lol. We performed Outkast "Ms. Jackson" in honor of their Coachella performance and Brandy "I Wanna Be Down."

 

( SIDE NOTE: The B- Word screening was so nice! From the film to the venue - I am so proud of my cousins for pulling off such a major feat. I can't wait for it to come to DC and to see what else these amazing girls have in store. Congrats ladies! )

Empty Suitcases and The Henna Hand Tat

Spent my lunch break getting a henna hand tattoo. I had no idea that the place where I get my eyebrows done even offered such a service. I'm one day away from my trip to LA and have yet to pack. The weather has warmed up there so I'm hoping to spend the days leading up to the premiere laid out on the beach catching the sun rays that we've been missing here on the east coast.

I'll do my best to keep the blog updated with pictures while I'm away.. if not, follow me on Instagram @Shari_Renee.

Musings x 4/8/14

New Phenom: Oil Pulling?

I just discovered this new phenomenon known as Oil Pulling! As illustrated in the pic above (photo cred: thebeautydepartment) you choose the oil of your choice, swish it around in your mouth for twenty-minutes, spit, rinse and brush your teeth. It is supposed to pull toxins out of the mouth, whiten teeth and improve heart health. I attempted the technique last night with coconut oil. I will admit that swishing for twenty-minutes seems a little excessive and is something I'll have to work up to, (I probably lasted no more than 5 minutes) but I'm interested in seeing if it lives up to all of the hype.





Match me.
