One of my favourite tracks from the album. Here is Day 26’s New single Since You’ve Been Gone. I am glad they have produced a video for this song. This album is amazing BabyDolls so if you haven’t already done so (which is absolutely Ludicrous) go purchase it Now!! Day 26 Album Now in stores!!!! Don’t they all look so handsome what a great combination talent and beauty! And even Dawn’s in the video too from Danity Kane with her Boo “Q”. I think they make such a cute couple, all together now arrrrwww.

Jill Marie Jones and Naomi Campbell was spotted out and about on the scene this week looking Smackalicous! It has been a while since we have seen Jill she certainly went all out for the BET Awards, I am loving this ensemble. It’s very cute and the clutch is beautiful.

Razor mouth Naomi was also seen looking amazing, you have to give it to this woman. Regardless of her grown tantrums she sure looks beautiful each time she steps on the red carpet. With her mouth pursed she looks like an angel. Naomi was spotted at the Osgara Awards. Because everyone was looking so fab. I have awarded two ladies with the BDK Smackalicious award this week! Congrats.

Happy Tuesday BabyDolls I hope you all had a great start to your week! We have a productive week ahead of us, check this. There will be some slight changes to BDK, ill be allocating specific days for specific posts e.g. Mondays for my Monday Weekday Swagger, Tuesdays for Beauty posts, Wednesday for random, Thursday Deep thought Friday for a special treat ill reveal in due time and Sunday for another new feature I plan to add to BDK.

OK, so this week its all about Fashion Fair’s Hidden Beauty Pore Minimiser. It works Wonders! For flawless skin always apply before your choice of foundation. It provides a base, minimises pores and shines. A must have for any makeup bag get yours |Here|

Two things more valuable than money in this day and age is Time and more Time. People are always complaining of not having enough time. being in a rush and so forth. Time is money, so what can you do to make your day most productive?

Start you day of right!

How do you start your day off? You do know that the beginning could be the end so start it off right. Ever had a bad morning and its followed its way through? Well that’s what I mean. I normally start my day off with meditation lets keep it fresh, I don’t sit with candles and incense burning chanting “hum rey yum” I don’t have time for that I just take 5-10 minutes in silence just to be still and think, sometimes I think of tasks I wish to complete and then I take time to show gratitude. I actually find when I don’t do this, the rest of the day I’m running around like an unorganised headless chicken. Most of us really underestimate the power of just sitting and being still for a while. Being still really helps to clear your thoughts……

So ….Book a date with yourself!

Regardless of the time of the day, have 10-20 minutes just to sit and think, if you want to jot down notes of things you have to do then do that. This will help you to focus, you will have time to concentrate and remember all tasks you wish to complete and ways in which to do so. Therefore in action you will be most productive, already having run through your tasks.

Everyone has a peek time within there day. You know a time where you find your self most active, most enthusiastic etc. Are you a morning person? An afternoon person? An evening person? Which ever you identify with, do your most important tasks within this period while you are switched on and ready to go. Doing them at your peek points and not your tedeious will make the most difficult tasks easier to bear.

Cancel Interruptions!

This especially applies to those that work at home, if you have been working all day (whether office or home) have a small gateway period where the phone is plugged out mobiles switched off do not check your email just chill. Break off for a moment and do you. Avoid prolonging this for too long (you don’t want people to be worry about you lol.)

Most of all Have a Purpose for your day

Try to get something from each day. Make sure you do one great thing each day no matter how big or small just great.

Lastly….Laugh!

Have fun with your day keep it funky. Be realistic stuff happens and the slightest thing can put a damper on your day but you are the only one in control of your emotions, so regardless of the exterior impacts or people around you make sure your smiling keep your spirits up and things will turn out fine. Things never seem so bad when your smiling and when your having fun the day goes quicker. Ask yourself do you see your glass half empty or Half full

See I started with asking what can you do to make your day most productive, but what you have to understand is in order to be most productive your personal self awareness and well-being has to be in check. So when asking about being most productive its really about self management rather than task management. As long as your head is clear, you will find most other things in life follow through.

I hope this helps. QueenB.D

Ciara and 50? Married!!?? Reeeeaaallly ?? hmmm. I dunno about that, But (with a capital B) you know I like to keep you informed on any hearsay and rumour has it these two have done a Mariah and Nick on us and got married!! Serious. Apparently the two have been seen around town sporting new wedding bands. I’m still trying to get around the fact that their an item. I’ll keep watch out but for now at least your in the know. True or not True? Only time will tell. Well don’t say I didn’t tell ya just remember….You didn’t hear it from me.

I’m sorry but Raven this is not complete. The funny thing is I can kinda see where this was suppose to go and this could have looked really nice….however it wasn’t executed and it looks kinda silly, just a tad bit too much. I think the suite should have been more tailored and the curves should have been embraced,  instead of that MC Hammer look. Being short I know all about trousers being too long therefore there is no excuse the trousers (pants / whatever) are too long and should have been attended to and the shoes…not really feeling them for this particular outfit. So therefore I award you the BDK GoodnessGracious of the week. On the flip side Solange was looking angelic in this little number she looks amazing. Hands down BDK Smackalicious of the week! Go Girl!

Whoop! It is the weekend, and I have been M.I.A schmoozing, for those going out again tonight always remember looking your best is a must so keep those essentials in your clutch, such as Lip gloss, Tissue, Mirror, Cash, Camera & … YSL’s Pop Stick Blush! these are Amazing! They accentuate cheekbones and the twist pop feature means its easy to use and transport. The pop stick blush comes in Vanilla / Chocolate swirl, Strawberry / Raspberry swirl or Peach / Blackcurrant swirl (My Fav). The swirling shades do their jobs every time adding radiance keeping your cheeks glowing all night. You can purchase your blush sticks from |Here|

Do these look like engagement rings to you? To be honest they don’t to me but word is that Angela Simmons may be getting engaged to her boo Terry Kennedy, Skate Boy himself. They make a beautiful couple and have been together for a while now. So I’m keeping watch, if so congrats to them I wish them the best honestly. There is nothing better than young love. Initially when I seen these pics I didn’t think it was anything but thanks to lead MTO I am truly beginning to wonder. Just remember you didnt hear it from me…..

Well I know I can. This has to be the item of the week. I know its Crazy, Fab, Sexy & Smackalicious. I would easily be able to rock this.

Go get yours |Here|Look at her popping her collar lol she knows shes fly in that coat.

Victoria Secret are pulling out all the stops this summer and have a range of vibrant Smackalicious items. Check these out, VS have these amazing 4″ Zig Zag Wedges that are embellished in Rhinestones, with a funky but stable Zig Zag heel!! Their amazing and they are currently retailing at around £45 ($89). If wedges are not your thing why not try these Sexy Leopard platform heels by Betsey Jackson that are on sale for approximatly £81 ($160). I am also loving their Steve Madden Perforated patent tote bag which is fab, and their vibrant range of fab sunglasses to accentuate any colour you may be wearing. You would be mad not to get these items, on your marks, get set…GO!

Alright, so the wedding invitations have already started rolling in and it is now time to find that perfect guest outfit. Luckily thanks to sites like EdressMe, we will never be short of selection. I have selected two dresses in particular that I think are Smackalicious and would be easy to dress up or down depending on your taste. Both retailing at £49 ($96) you will have plenty let over for your accessories. I love the green because its a nice BabyDoll dress plus its short but classy. Because I’m petite long dresses do not flatter me and make me look even smaller however I’m loving this Black & White dress and could see it being rocked with clear chunky bracelets and with a black and clear necklace. I think the Green dress would look great with gold chunky bangle’s.

Ok So we all supported and watched the overrated Sex and The City movie, but a movie I would really like to see is a Girlfriends movie. I think they should do a major one! Hell even bring Toni back for the reunion. I know there was rumours that a movie was in discussion, but forget discussing it. It’s time to get filming it! It’s bad enough that we had to wait so long for the box sets. I think they really underestimate how many people actually love and enjoy the Girlfriends TV Show. I am sure if it was at the cinemas many of us would go to see it, BabyDolls what do you think?

So with the weather as hot as it is outside I thought I would give you all a Sexy cocktail recipe to sip on while you unwind. This particular cocktail is called SeaBreeze, just what we need to cool down on this summers day and blow away them weekday blues. I hope you enjoy.

Smackalicious Ingredints needed:

• 2 parts Vodka
• 3 parts Cranberry juice
• 3 parts Grapefruit juice
• 1 Lime wedge
• 1 part Ice cubes
• 5 Ice (crushed)

Oh and not forgetting the recipe:

Pour the vodka, cranberry juice and grapefruit juice into a tall glass with the ice. Stir well. Decorate with a lime wedge.

Believe me it tastes Smackalicious!

Happy Monday BabyDolls, guess what with summer in full swing its time to get shopping for them Smackalicious bargains. Its time to start trotting to them designer sample sales and fighting for them rails. Designersales.co.uk are fast approaching another upcoming Sample Sale on the 13th June so make a note in your diaries ladies and gents. This time there in Brighton so get down there and get shopping, DesignerSales’s, sample sales (just to name one) always have a mixture of Stella Mccartney , Missoni, Diesel, Betty Jackson, Dolce and Gabbana, PPQ (Which I just Love! Cause I love there dresses and style), Vivienne Westwood, Moschino, Alexander McQueen, Religion, Jean-Paul Gaultier just to name a few and many many more. It is well worth a rummage.

So what is a Sample sale you may ask, I’m not insulting your knowledge just informing you if your unsure. Well at a sample sale you get designer goods for Discount prices and when I say discount I mean Discount. They are normally one offs, sample goods to test the market, ex catwalk stuff and so on. It is normally invite only so its important to register on a mailing list. Most sample sales (due to the nature of the goods) don’t allow you to take bags, coats and huge accessories in the hall with you in case of people with sticky fingers so you have to leave them in ticket operated cloak room. Sample Shopping is a great way to add to your collections. You will find you build your wardrobe with fabulous designer ones cuts without breaking the bank. SampleSales are also a no.1 spot for stylists, fashion editors, fashion students, and others selected. You never know who you will meet there, but to be honest with all them designer goods in one room you will not wanna loose focus lol. For US Sample Sales check DailyCandy.Com that give out many other Shopping treats and sample sale info. Find out where your local SampleSale is.

Look at the pics dude below knows hes just found a bargain, Check the smile.

Fancy jazzing up your spot but cant be bothered to go and buy paint and decorations. Well worry no more, thanks to Danielle I am now familiar with the Pimp Ur Pad service. PimpUrPad.com got Danielle Lloyds apartment spectacular fantastic for her cribs daybew. The difference with this service is unlike the others that just make over your house and expect you to slot in and act like its yours, this company only makes slight changes to suite your personality. So although its redecorated you feel at home. They do everything from the electrics, to the plumbing to the floor. I know nowadays most people just get pre furnished apartments, but its nice to put your own touch to it and Pimp Ur Pad works with all different budgets. Sometimes I don’t mind self decorating as it puts you in tune with the room but keep it real not all of us have the time. Go visit Pimp Ur Pad and give your place a well earned makeover |Here|

“Yes I think I’m Sexy” is the slogan for Sony Ericssons new W350i music phone. This phone could be one of the best music phones to date. Now ill be honest, I’m not sure if it will compare to my BlackBerry Pearl, however I am sure the sexy designs these phones come in would look beautiful in my bag. As you can see Sony has gone back to the old style bottom flip, which hides number keys as well as providing an ease of use control player. I’m not sure what tariffs or contract you can get this on but I must admit I am loving the purple. Definitely a good look.

For those that value their perfumes and shudder at the thought of them beautiful bottles shattering amongst all of your jingbang in your handbag fear no more! Marc Jacobs has a solid wait for it….. Compact Perfume! Actually it’s not that new he has had a small flower shaped one in the past which was like I said small . However now… There is a solid square compact that slips into your bag like any other makeup necessity. Convenient and discreet, Marc Jacobs will have all BabyDolls smelling fresh to death. (Which should be the case anyway). With fresh gardenia floating on water, counter pointed by the sensuality of creamy musk. Dab a bit on your finger and rub on your pulse points and you should be good to go! This handy compact is available for £45 from any House of Fraser UK and online |Here | Well worth the purchase I say for any perfume collector or beauty nick nack lover. Quick before the all go!
