Grand Lux....my TUMMY loves you!

This place right HERE (SEE ABOVE)...is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Dallas!

As far as Happy Hours go, I frequent this place AT LEAST 3 times a month, 4:30-6:30 PM...

SO GOOD

a FULL page of $5 appetizers

(Asian Nachos & Buffalo Chicken Rolls...9 times out of 10 I get either one of these)

a daily $5 drink

I usually go on a Friday, and the drink I always get it something fruity...it'll come to me

BUT the highlight of this post is DINNER TIME!

And come dinner time at Grand Lux, I always veer towards ONE dish, it is to DIE for:

Sunday Night Pasta 
Made Fresh Every Day! A Rich Slow-Simmered Meat Sauce with Chunks of Beef Short Rib, Steak, Fresh Mushrooms, Onions, Garlic and Parmesan Cheese. Served over Spaghettini

the FIRST time I had this, I could NOT stop picking up my fork LoL

my FAT ASS!

the beef short rib is so tender & seasoned perfectly, along with the sauce, the spaghettini...it just all GOES!

*drooling* DAMN IT...now I'm hungry, UGH!

Texas & O.P.I. = GREAT COMBO!!!

Spring/Summer 2011...

LOVE the rose pink-ish "Guy Meets Gal-Veston"

Oh & the "San Tan-tonio", I'll rock these in a MINUTE!

BUT I am mad that there isn't a color for MY city: DALLAS : (

but they have a color for Houston?! 

What kind of sense does THAT make?! o_O

It's OFFICIAL: H&M Is Coming To Dallas!!!

YES! You read RIGHT!  H&M is opening their FIRST location in the 

LONE STAR STATE in 2001 (the 2nd half of the year, to be exact)!

OF COURSE, the new store will be located in the MECA of shopping: NORTHPARK MALL.

I can't believe it's FINALLY coming, and in MY opinion, I think it should have BEEN here, like a LOOOOOOONG time ago, I mean it's DALLAS *shrugs* COME ON!

I went to H&M for the 1st time in March on my Victoria's Secret "Love Your Body"vacation, and it was AWESOME, and great, CHEAP prices....I AM SO EXCITED!

"The King's" $50 Million Castle

which happens to be Miami Heat's team President, Pat Riley's, old house....

$50 Million...REALLY?!?!?!?!

It's not even his OWN house....he bought SOMEONE ELSE'S house!!!!

she IS Dallas: Erykah Badu "Window Seat"

I love her, she's so REAL & down to Earth...the vibe & sound of this song, I LOVE IT!

And the video IS taped in Downtown Dallas around the day John F. Kennedy came to Dallas & was assassinated.

In case you all DIDN'T know, Ms. Badu is straight from Dallas, South Dallas that is...

YOU GO GIRL! Natural beauty at it's BEST!

Dallas STAND UP...It's Ms. Dondria, she can SANG!

DONDRIA "YOU'RE THE ONE" from SO SO DEF on Vimeo.

I am her NEW BIGGEST fan! She can SING her a** off! She's straight from MY hometown Dallas, TX, and long story short, she started on YouTube, singing any & everything, & it all sounds awesome of course (she goes to my church might I add) and she got signed by Jermaine Dupri to SoSoDef...HOW AWESOME! this is her 1st video to her 1st single, "You're The One"

ENJOY!!!

Romance in the Bedroom

chocolate, red, & soft pink....VERY romantic

pink, brown, & white linens with the BEAUTIFUL iron bed

the soft lilac & the intricate detail on the headboard

the brightness of the hot pink pillows in the dark room

so comfy & "cottage-like"...love the couch!

soft & serene with the beige all around & hints of soft colors

so DIVA with the red plush headboard & black & white patterns

LOOOOOOOVE LIFE

     "I am TOO blessed to be stressed!"  Honestly, I just love my family, my friends, my loved ones....just EVERYTHING!  Whenever I feel that things are down, or going in the negative direction, I really just call up to HIM, it makes me feel SO much better and much more relaxed, and I KNOW that he will take care of it all!  I just don't ever see it becoming SO BAD to where one would not want to enjoy life and the wonderful things that come with it.

     I thank HIM for my family, they are ALWAYS there for me NO MATTER what, and I can always come back home, if EVER things got that bad.  We always have a GREAT time together, my dad's a big kid, my brother is HILARIOUS, and my mom I just love how no matter HOW old I get, she STILL wants to have a Girl's Day and just be around me!  My friends, my TRUE friends, which I can count on one hand (mom always said that's how it should be) always brighten up my day no matter what may be wrong.  We have the best time no matter what we're doing, having a blast laughing at the most minute things, but it's funny because it's US and we're just goofy.  And then there's the love of my life, my heart, I am SO blessed to have him in my life, my man.  We have connected in so many ways and it truly is fate that we be together, through the good and the bad, and I truly thank God for him, love you hunny!
     To have these WONDERFUL things in life, the material things really don't matter, and I wish that some people would realize that.  Everything happens for a reason, HE will bless you on HIS time not yours, just stay on bended knee and have faith, and all things will be alright, I PROMISE!  You have to go through the bad, the trials and tribulations, to get to the good, the blessings, know this!  I just felt the need to express this to you guys....HE has a plan for you and he'll NEVER lead you to harm!
