Hey there fall

The realities of fall are quickly approaching with longer, colder nights.

Looking at the past through rose covered glasses

Paying tribute to "real" R&B

I have a quick question: where have all the crooners gone? I fully respect everything that current R&B artists like Trey Songz, Chris Brown, and Tyrese are trying to do but I haven't heard a song in awhile that I think will considered an R&B classic. Gone are the days where songs like "Where I Wanna Be" by Donnel Jones and "Differences" by Ginuwine rock the airwaves, making girls swoon with he sweetness of each lyric with amazing acoustics in the background. As a tribute to these classics, I want to post a classic R&B song with a twist. I'm gonna post the real song and the cover of the song that I think does the song some justice by a classic R&B lover like myself. So here's to the crooners, let the days of the classics begin. I'll leave y'all with a little Jamie Foxx. He is so talented and his voice combined with the piano is absolutely beautiful. 

Morning Words: Allow Yourself to Be Inspired

"Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it."

Let the world be your oyster. Today, find something that inspires you...and run with it.

Throwback of the day

I love music from the 80s, 90s, and 00s so much, I'm gonna start posting throwback videos everyday. 

Today's video is:  A House is Not a Home by Luther Vandross

You might recognize part of this tune from Slow Jamz by Kanye West &Twista

"A chair is still a chair/ Even when there's no one sittin' there/ But a chair is not a house /And a house is not a home/ When there's no one there to hold you tight"

Freshin' up a bit

Dear beloved readers,

I decided my blog needs a little re-vamping! If you have been rocking with me since the beginning then you know my posts were a little erratic, full of bad grammar, celebrity gossip, and loads of pictures. Now that I have a little more time to dedicate to my blog, I want to increase my posting quality (as well as frequency). So look out for a new and improved Olivejuice™. =]

November, Be Good to Me.

At the start of every year, every season, every month, every day, there lies a chance for a "new beginning." Most disregard the fact that one day doesn't usually bring drastic, amazing changes. But, if you think about it, only takes one moment for something to change your perspective. With that being said, as the year dwindles down to a close, I hope that November brings loads of laughs and love to bring an end to 2011. I've learned a lot this year about myself and my family, and real friends. So lets the good times roll!

Happy 1.11.11 =]

P.S. Happy late Halloween! I was an "assassin" and a witch! =]
