Maven Read! Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

I've heard about this book for years, and finally got it and have started reading. Quiet honestly the major push to get this book was that they are making a big Hollywood movie based on it, and i usually like to read the book before i see the movie. The book is always better! Prime examples of this are My Sisters Keeper and Eat Pray Love. But let me tell you this book has me enthralled. I am not too far in but can't wait to be. This is most def a maven must read.

Beyonce Thanksgiving Special

 

My lovelies, I just finished watching Beyonce's I Am World Tour Thanksgiving Special. What a treat it was!

People from time to time like to hate on B, but i believe in giving what is due and...she was fab. 

Singing along with every chart topper, and also being entertained by the equally fab Alexis, i had to admit that B is a damn good performer. She works hard as hell and should be given credit. BRAVO!

It was good to see clips of her as a child also. Some people were born to be stars and she is one of them.

Most importantly however, I liked that she allowed the world to see her vulnerable side, even crying on camera, not totally understanding her fame but thankful for it none the less. At the end of the day sans all the glitz and glamor she is human after all.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

 In the spirit of Thanksgiving I decided to make Pumpkin Cheesecake and it turned out fabulous. It's really easy to make and tastes so good! Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

 Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham crumbs
5 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 Tbsp. sugar

Filling:
3- 7oz.pkgs. pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's ( If you can't get the Trader Joe's brand then use regular cream cheese and add a can of pumpkin puree)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix crust ingredients together, just till coated and crumbly. Press onto the bottom and  sides of  pan. Bake for 5 min. at 350. Set aside.

Combine cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl, mix until smooth with an electric mixer. add pumpkin eggs, and spices, beat till smooth and creamy.

Pour into the crust. Bake for 60-70 mins or till the top turns a bit darker. Remove from oven and allow to come to room temperature, then refrigerate.

After it has thoroughly chilled, remove the pan sides and cut.

Going Thanksgiving Crazy!

So much to do so lil time! I wanna shop, cook and enjoy the holiday. Will keep you posted. But most importantly Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

The date is set!

Doesn't William look drunkers in the pic? Anywhocares! The date is set people. It's all going down on April 29 at Westminster Abbey.
 Imagine the opulence!


William and Kate ended days of suspense by choosing the abbey, a grand venue where members of the House of Windsor have been crowned, married, mourned and buried. The abbey was also the site of the funeral for William's beloved mother, Princess Diana.


William and Kate chose the centuries-old abbey in central London because despite its size — it holds 2,200 people — it has a sense of intimacy, particularly at the altar, which stands at the head of a smaller, partly enclosed space called the sanctuary.
Lawx what a ting! Will keep you posted on the details as i get them. Can't wait to see the dress!
