This year the 2nd Annual Black Tie Gala hosted by  Joel of Imdaparty  was held at MetroWest Golf Club. A nice and classy event  Joel did it again and I had a fun time!  The event is held to bring recognition to Orlando’s  movers and shakers, ones who are trailblazers and that making strides in their careers. I was glad to come out and support Joel and his efforts to highlight Orlando’s young professionals. It’s always great to know those who are doing great things!

The event has an array of impressive entertainment from spoken word to female vocalist. And like many Imdaparty events, partial proceeds  went to the “Don’t Touch Me Foundation” which supports those that have suffered physical and/or sexual abuse.

Peep the pics below to see the winners and me with beautiful best model winner Lori Livingston and the event host Joel Imdaparty!

I have been down with his beats, music, and  clothes ever since he came out. He’s so smart, very positive and he’s still fine at 40 years young! I  just watched this video on his I Am OTHER channel and I had to share. Pharrell  speaks with   passion and  encouragement to the dudes on  his IceCream  skateboard team, he tells them that  ” YOUR Skills got you here”.  Passion thru adversity to become the best  is so true life.

So many times people look and think you just woke up one day  knowing how to be the best at what it is you do, but no, you have to put in work to  develop your craft.  The  skills and that dopeness that comes along the way are the by products of all the work you put in. I agree with my man Pharrell your skills will get you to wherever your here is, and   trusting  God along the way will make the path to getting there even better! Don’t  give up, and Don’t ever stop going! #ICECREAM

Today I am doing a product review of an awesome product I have been using called TRUE Skin Cream. The cream is a body butter  with a  texture that is lux and light weight. My skin is more hydrated  and silky than I’ve experienced in a long time and I am loving how I feel. When I first tried it I was a bit skeptical only because my skin is very dry, I wash my hands a lot and I must be honest I’m bad at moisturizing after showers (don’t judge me).

TRUE skin cream is  pure all natural skin cream containing Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Avocado Oil, Olive Oil, Jojoba and Coconut Oil. It is packed with all the best ingredients that skin needs to look and feel smooth and moisturized. The product absorbs really well into the skin, not leaving a oily look but more of a glow or sheen look that I love.

TRUE skin cream  is sold at Health Food Stores in the Tampa Bay area and  you can order it direct thru the companies Facebook page.
