Common X Sweet X Drake Dissin
Common Common Common, I love me some Common. I muted this video for a minute and just looked at him... Yumm
But onto the dissing. It's um whatever. His feelings, his music. Drake comes back at it in his newest song with Rick Ross and French Montana.
All is well that ends well.

Another day in Atlanta.
A couple of weeks ago @728Fashionmag and I (@Nik_gold) had a photoshoot with Atlanta's own @CoCokissatl22 rapper/model/entertainer.
It was a fun experience, she is a sweetheart I noted as I got to interview her for 7/28 Magazine, I loved working with good vibes, talented people and lots of material.
I was styling jewelry and creative directing on this one as I felt the aura, the passion and saw a vision!
All in all it was a Grade A photo shoot and I cannot wait for more work with @728fashionmag!
If you aren't following them on twitter do so for updates, fashion and more in Nashville and Atlanta!
Earrings by me.

This Year
This year I'm working on finishing everything I start.
I have a bad tendency of putting things off until a tomorrow that never comes.
Procrastinating and giving up per say when things don't work out.
Like just now. This crampy A computer just crashed my web browser that was uploading a picture for my blog.
The old me would have logged the hell off and kept it moving.
It's 1 in the morning and I'm fed up with sloppy technology.
But no, I didn't.
A new year won't change you but a new mindset will.

Advice
There are three parts to this post because I've recently been busying myself and realized a lot of novel ideas/opinions when it comes to advice.
1. The main advice I was given when it came to my brand name is keep it moving... In the best way of course. Keep progressing and moving fast forward, however because people like to imitate instead of innovate I was warned to keep the newest projects under wraps. This is probably the bitterest advice given since I love to spread my ideas and new workings so I will have to find a balance between the two. Plus, my blog is MY blog. I express my feelings, journey, opinions etc and if I want to share something so be it, anything else done after me will literally be in my footsteps.
2. Not all advice should be taken into consideration. I only say this because the old saying about you expressing your problems and "80% are happy you have it 20% don't care" is mostly true (mostly). If they do give you advice it's based off of THEIR feelings, THEIR experiences, THEIR emotions, not yours. So the best person to seek is God first, look into yourself for what your'e really looking for and then family/friends. I call it my inner to outer rule.
3. Advice is what it is... Warning, caution and opinion in the end you can take it or leave it.

Dear Blog,
It's harder to blog,
not even a negative more about prioritizing
and me needing a more adaptable way to blog!
I've been progressing and my blog is and forever will be my outlook X scrapbook on this thing called life.
I'll work harder to be here daily.
XO
Stay tuned...

Here is a little something I wrote the other day while making some serious life changes.
1. Never feel obligated to ANYONE
2. If you're not happy, get happy
3. Never settle
Now moving on, I wrote this out of my feelings...
Not quite a poem, not quite rambling 101 just a recap on how a lady should be treated.
How I feel anyways.
Ahuuuummmmmmmm.
I deserve to be treated like a Queen
Receiving incredible massages willingly
To be spoiled, loved and wooed
"My African name, "Morenike" (Mo-dah-knee-k)
means one is who loved, one who is spoiled
Ironic? "
Should never be lied to, manipulated or disrespected
I will never settle for anything or anyone less than I deserve.
Be treated or talked to any which way
A Queen to be held to the highest standards
Honey dews and wet kisses warm me from the inside out when the sun greets me in the morning.
Servants sponge bathing me in imported lavender oils and soaps
Adorning my temple in nothing less than the best and fed the most extravagant plates of delightfulness
High off of life like I was when I was younger
A priceless aura of positivity people would sell their souls to be around
Deserving this and much more
Is what makes me a lady, a Queen
The creme de la creme.
If I don't demand it for me, who will?
Think of it more so as a saying, a thought process every woman should speak into herself every morning while she is gathering her thoughts and getting ready to face the world. In a time when women are treated like animals and carry themselves even lower, we forget the time when men started wars over one, formed countries for another and traveled, built, sung & competed for a small gesture of kindness... from a Queen.
