Rewind to 2001
In 2001, I had the privilege and honor to live in England at that time in my life. One album I can remember was Craig David: Born to do It. This was the first concert I went to in England, which was dope by the way. He had all the right elements to deliver a great R&B record, especially in England, where Garage and Pop ruled the radios. My personal favorites are Rendezvous, 7 Days, Follow Me, Fill Me In and Walking Away.
Take a Listen!

Whoa! Funny how time flies when you're having fun!
Time for an update finally!
I have been living life, enjoying life for what it is. Life is Cause&Effect... think about it... I'll stop here cause there is soo much to say about that subject.
Now I am an aspiring model, I have a sneak peak of a photo shoot I did this weekend... one of my friends Miya is an make up artist; an awesome one might I add, her full portfolio will be coming soon and when it does I will post it...
This is Me aka Ms. Cocoa aka CC aka Ollie Cocoa... she's having a rough morning, she partied so hard last night, she still has on her makeup. Here she is just being herself...Cocoa

The New IT Bag
This collection of bags, called Papier (= paper), was actually designed by Stefan Diez for Saskia Diez, his wife who designs really nice jewelery. They are made from the same material, Tyvek®, as his other bags A1 & A2. It is a synthetic paper made from PE which is extremely tearproof, lightweight, waterproof and recyclable. Like most bags, they become nice after some wear and tear. [via TAT]
I've been waiting for something like this. I use Tyvek envelopes all the time at work, but I never knew how much potential it had. Tyvek is pretty expensive material. That'll go with everything, now all I need is a Tyvek belt...

I found this interesting! [Via KMB Marketing]
CUTE? PRETTY? BEAUTIFUL?
WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
Let's look at what Webster says:
cute: attractive or pretty especially in a childish, youthful, or delicate way
pretty: having conventionally accepted elements of beauty
beautiful: exciting aesthetic pleasure
We [KMB Marketing] find this to be rather intriguing seeing as though so many people use the adjectives as various connotations. Often, women get offended by the term "cute" when complimented, because it doesn't suggest beauty. Instead, it suggests moderation in visual appeal, or perhaps a youthful association; like a baby or a puppy. Men don't usually understand why the nasty looks when they say, "You're cute!". Well, there's your answer! Yet, in an interesting contrast, men often take delight in the word. When women compliment them with the term, the response is usually a flattering one; even issuing a blush or two. How's that for 'men are from mars' and 'women are from venus'? But we digress...
So, in digging deeper, what's the difference between pretty and cute? From a female's perspective, pretty and beautiful are almost one in the same. We said ALMOST for a reason; keep reading! :-) It's almost one in the same because pretty is associated with beauty. There are certain features that when put together in a package, makes a person pretty. For instance, a woman might have nice eyes as well as an appealing figure, which then equates to her being pretty (as an example). However, beauty comes forth when an emotion is present. Ever see someone where you just can't help but take notice? "Wow, he's absolutely beautiful." Or, "Look at her. She is beautiful!" As you can see, when the emotion is present, the word itself is normally present as well. Beautiful often times is used interchangeably with the term "gorgeous".
