Asambe Ke

I can't get this song out of my head!! It's so feel good and always has my feet tapping. I just had to share it, enjoy :)

HAPPY WOMENS DAY!!

To all the wonderful women of South Africa, I wish you a happy women's day. I really hope you have an awesome day and an even better year. We as women tend to forget how phenomenal and strong we are because we are so busy looking after everyone else. I seem to be on a poetry tip of late and I want dedicate Maya Angelou's "Phenomenal Women" to all the beautiful women of South Africa.

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Nicki Minaj - "Your Love"

One of the latest talents to come out of Young Money, Nicki Minaj has had the music industry in a tailspin the past few months. Up until now she has been featured in other artists hits including Usher's song called "Lil Freak" and it looks like she is now finally focusing on her own album since she released this single. Below is her new music video titled "Your Love", it's a really good song and the video lives up to expectations. I really can't wait for her to drop her album!

INCEPTION

If you have not watched this movie yet, you better get into your car and go and see it NOW!! 
I haven't seen a movie this good in a while, it's what some people would call a "mindf***" type of movie. Within the first 45 minutes of the movie, you have no idea what is going on and then as it continues everything starts falling into place. It's basically about dreams and the subconscious, I won't say any more than that, after watching it though, I will admit that I couldn't sleep, I was just too scared to dream. 
Leonardo DiCaprio really carries the movie impressively as the lead and since its release it has grossed $209 million dollars in the States and $ 171 million worldwide. It really is a must-see!!


Mary Kate Olsen

It's been a while since we have heard from the Olsen twins. Below is a recent cover shoot done by Marie Claire with Mary-Kate. If you click on the title of this post it will link you to the brief interview that she did with Marie Claire.
