Today marks my 2nd year anniversary for Brown Girl Gumbo! I am truly grateful for all of the readers that frequent my site every day. There are a few readers who have been there with me from the very beginning and I’d like to thank them personally, they probably already know how much I love them!! I want to thank: K-Bear, Rebee, Kwana, B, T, Antithesis, Nerd Girl, PJD, and Kittyvodka for all of your support. You always leave comments and give feedback and it’s greatly appreciated. Don’t get me wrong, I am thankful for all of my readers – new and old, but I must express my gratitude to those who have been there consistently since day one.

Anyway, I am going to take the day off just to reflect on how far BGG has come. I never imagined that I’d have anyone read my blog and now it seems like it’s slowly but surely growing and I owe it all to you guys!!

In celebration, I’m in the process of putting together the ultimate BGG goodie bag for one lucky reader, so stay tuned!!! 🙂

When it comes to shaving, Schick is my favorite brand! I’m already a huge fan of their other razors so when I recently tried their Intuition Plus Moisturizing Care razor, I knew that I would be completely satisfied with the results.

This handy razor actually lathers and moisturizes as you shave, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. Plus, its four blades are accompanied with shea butter (the one I used) or milk and honey so there is no need for a gel, soap or body wash. This is the perfect razor to get your gams looking gorgeous for the summer!

The man who brought us some of the best pop songs in music history, Michael Jackson, has died. The King of Pop, 50, died from cardiac arrest on Thursday, June 25th.

Please share your favorite Michael Jackson songs, moments, etc. I must say, one of my favorite MJ moments was seeing him dance with the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, a few years ago on the BET Awards. I have many others, but that one stands out to me the most right now.

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson.

Dear BGG Readers,

During the summer months, I’ve decided to cut down on posts from 5 days a week, to approx. 3 days a week. I know that people are not inside as much on the computers during the warmer months so I think this will work out well.

Thanks so much and as always your comments and feedback are greatly appreciated! Do you have any summer plans? Weddings? Reunions? Vacations? Please share!

Enjoy the summer!

I was recently thumbing through a high-fashion magazine and saw a slew of outrageously priced items including, sunglasses, shoes, handbags jewelry, etc. It made me wonder, “What item would be so tempting that I’d have to forgo the rent to have it added to my wardrobe?” After realizing that would never happen, I decided that my guilty pleasure would probably be to splurge on a pair of timeless, dazzling diamond earrings!

What item would be worth breaking the bank for you? Would it be super sexy stilettos, the latest designer purse, a vintage dress, etc.? Have you ever paid an extremely high price tag for an item you just had to have?

Please share!
