Don't Miss Maryland this year!

The Love Le Menu “I Love Me” retreat was in Hanover, Maryland April 10th thru 12th. Ladies from Louisiana, Chicago, Georgia, and Maryland attended. The agenda was filled with spa time, lunch, dinner, cruises, tours of Annapolis, shopping, sight-seeing, and empowerment sessions led by Karlyn LeBlanc, LMSW.

The first day, participants took part in a spa day, receiving facials, manicures, and pedicures. One lucky guest, Irma Bickham, won a full MAC makeover and fashion consult, for being the first person to book her retreat. Later that evening, the ladies ate with the Maryland Dinner with Divas chapter at Mo’s Seafood, where the food was amazing.  The ladies voted Mo’s Seafood a 5 overall.

At midnight, the ladies and their dates boarded the Spirit Moonlight cruise in Baltimore Maryland. Everyone was dressed in black and white. Each guest received a personal photograph, black mask, leather Lust whip, goodie bag, champagne, and delicious appetizers; many were lucky enough to win some of the great prizes sponsored by Love Le Menu, Lust, Inc., Clever Container, and Mel’s Creative Designs & Accessories. The ship sailed along the harbor for two hours and guests were entertained by one of Baltimore’s hottest DJ’s; soul train lines and hip hop dancing was observed. The ladies voted the cruise a 5 overall, the raspberry tea and potent drinks were talked about the most.

The next morning the ladies toured beautiful downtown Annapolis, the capital of Maryland. The first stop the ladies made was at the Banneker- Douglas Museum, an African American museum, then the Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Memorial, and lastly the Thurgood Marshall Memorial.  When the divas were done with history they visited the local boutiques, galleries, and restaurants along the dock.  The great eats were crab chowder from Dock Street Bar & Grill, steamed crabs, raw Maryland oysters, and soft shelled crab at Mike’s Crab House on the harbor, and the best crab cakes and fettucine crab & shrimp alfredo were eaten at Timbuckto.

40 Friday-What you don't know about the forty year old woman.

Image
  When a woman turns 40 she's entering the no judgment, no bullshit zone. She doesn't care what anyone thinks about her, but her. She's fierce, free, fabulous, and focused. The things she put up with in the past she no longer entertains. Her goals have meaning and she's on a mission to make things happen. The 40 year old woman is reclaiming her youth and bringing a certain spice back to life. She's major competition to women half her age. What they do, she can do better. Her aroma is confidence. She exhibits self esteem that can't be bought. She stands in her true authentic self and states what she needs, wants, and desires. The 40 year old woman is a mystery. She's very unpredictable, yet adventurous. When you're with her you'll discover her wild side; an unaltered, fun, invigorating woman who experiences happiness to the fullest. Many wonder how she juggles her career, family, and dreams. They don't understand this is the way she's

Stand up and be Free before You're Forty

Image
I'm wearing all of these clothes, still worrying about what they might say about me. When all I really want to do is be FREE. I hold all my curse words in because I really don't want to offend. When all I really want to do is be FREE. My life is mundane. I go to work, pick up the kids, go home, cook, and go to sleep. When all I really want to do is be FREE. People depend on me to do everything. When all I really want to do is be FREE. I see others experiencing new, fun things, while I sit watching and judging behind the scenes. When all I really want to do is be FREE. The news, negative spirits, peers, and parents keep me living in fear. When all I really want to do is be FREE. I live in a house with a white picket fence. I have rules, morals, and an image to keep. When all I really want to do is be FREE. Lust is real. Life is not perfect and no one can ever be. Hello world. I'm forty. I'm fabulous. I'm FREE. Don't wait until you'
