Song of the moment

 “Without You” - David Guetta featuring Usher

I just got back from a weeklong trip to Trinidad and I am trying like crazy to see when I can return. It was blissfully fun and captured the 3 things that I treasure the most—blue skies, palm trees and family.  I loved every minute of my short but sweet escape.

On this trip I heard a lot of music (and ate a loooot of food!).  I, of course, heard a lot of soca and dancehall, but surprisingly I heard a lot of pop and dance music.  Rihanna’s “We Found Love”, was played on every street corner (BTW, I love this song too, I am an official Rihanna fan!). 

But the song that reminds of the good times spent in Trinidad is......Without You- David Guetta featuring Usher.

I heard the song before my trip but I didn’t pay that much attention to it.  I thought it was pretty much typical David Guetta.  However, hearing it blast at loud levels everywhere I travelled in Trinidad, made me a fan (psssssst...repetition works, eh! LOL).  And so, this is my song of the moment.

Charity begins at home

Bras for the women of the Congo

I received an e-mail not too long ago from Alicia Vianga—successful business woman and the owner of Premier Jour Lingerie—asking if I could lend a helping hand to a cause that she was supporting.

Even though I met Alicia 3 years ago, I remember meeting her like it was yesterday. I appreciated how she put me at ease when she conducted my very first bra fitting.  (pssst...at first I felt a little weirded out about having someone checking out my girls, but then I totally got into it!)  

So when she asked if I could help out with her cause Bras for the women of the Congo, there was no question—I would definitely help out in any way that I can.  The best way that could think of spreading the word was through my blog. 

Alicia is on a crusade to collect 1000 bras for the women of the Congo.  Although a peace accord was signed in 2003 to end a devastating civil war happening in Congo, violence still rages—and women unfairly bear the brunt. These women have been savagely raped and tortured every day.  And if being assaulted wasn’t enough, these poor women were shunned when they tried to go back to their homes and husbands. 

Alicia would like to make these women feel whole again by asking women to donate their gently used bras to send to our sisters. You will receive  $25 gift certificate toward your new purchase.

If you would like to donate your bras, please visit Premier Jour Lingerie at
