Tamar Braxton - If You Don't Wanna Love Me

Oldie, but goodie. This is actually one of my absolute fav relationship songs! (If you listen close you can hear big sister, Toni Braxton, singing background in the very beginning of the track). #Tamartian Never get tired of this one, plus Tamar really hasn't aged.

#LOVEANDWARISOUTNOW - "TAMAR TUESDAY"-9/3/2013

#LOVEANDWARISOUTNOW Tamar has quite a lot to toast to




Tamar Braxton has had quite a huge year. I speak for most of us when I say she really captivated us with her SUPER extra attitude, plus you know we cannot forget all the infamous sayings. Tamar effortlessly left us wanting more, which ultimately led to her own reality show, and now her MUCH anticipated album. Tamar says this album is her "best work yet". So is her sophomore album really "bomb.com"? Well, you can really tell that this is truly a relationship soundtrack-it's refreshing. You know how relationships go: First you are madly insanely in love, (“The One”), then comes the heated argument, (“Love and War”), you find yourself longing for your boo, (“All The Way Home”), and you know you got to make- up with some bomb ( “Hot Sugar”). I truly think this album was a platform for Tamar to find her unique R&B sound. HOWEVER.com, have you heard selected tracks from her self-titled debut album? (you know the one from like 13 years ago?) Tamar actually has incredible range, and I didn’t see her really flex that on this album. Overall, this album gets a solid “B+” from me. I can play the whole entire album, and plus I’m actually loving the bonus track “Black Tears”. Have you brought yours yet? What’s your fav track? 



 

XCLUSIVE: JOSH SMITH CELEBRATES SIGNING $54 Million CONTRACT AT KRAVE

 I had an exclusive invite to the hottest new club in ATL- Krave! Even better, was the reason I was invited: to celebrate Josh Smith (aka Jsmoove) departure from his ATL home to the Motor City. After signing a a mega lucrative $54 Million dollar contract with the Detroit Pistons, Josh chose to party where some other ATL elite had partied, including Usher & Keri Hilson. Josh Smith was the only star in the building, but he literally had the club at complete full capacity. The 6' 9" basketball star was adamant about keeping his celebrity status, so photography was kept at a minimum. However, I can tell you it was an unforgettable night, and Krave's atmosphere was on point. I'm telling you, don't think just go, you will love Krave. In the meantime, don't forget to stay in touch! I mean who knows where Peachybella will end up next.


 

XCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: G2S

Happy Sunday Everyone! Sometimes I get a chance to interview upcoming artists. This time I got to speak to a special artist - Goon 2 Saint. He took a inspirational moment with me to tell me his story. Check out the interview. Remember to follow G2S on Twitter @Goon2Saint.

1. G2S your story is incredible, what made you decide to become an artist and spread the word of your new found Faith?
I always had a passion for music but once I got saved, I wanted to spread the message of God and what He has done to me to people my age and who I felt where more like me. I just wanted them to know and understand the goodness of God and that it's cool to live for Him.

2.Seeing am upcoming rap artists on their journey is always interesting but understanding a gospel artist and their come up is refreshing. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Being the most successful artist and entrepreneur and getting God's message out to the world

3. If you could compare your style to a major rap artist out now , who would it be? Where do your influences come from?
I would compare myself to 50 cent because he is his own person and doesn't allow what other people think affect him. My influences come from my Pastor and Kirk Franklin.

4. Time is of the essence if you could give a person one sentence to convince them to turn their life to the Lord, what would you say?
You don't wait to reach a certain age to give yourself to Christ and receive His major blessings regardless if your 8, 12, or 15 God could you use the same as He can someone who is 40.

5. How are you going to conquer the scene, when there are SO many rap artists on the radio that are not exactly talking about turning their life around.
I just have to remain humble and focus on God and allow Him to use me the way He wants to use me and take advantage of the opportunities He sends my way.

I am sure we will see more of G2S real soon. Make sure you check out his video "Savior" below. Remember spread the love, share this post if you like. As always keep in contact with me on Twitter. See ya later.

Garnier BB Cream- Love IT

<

I wanted to share a new staple for my beauty arsenal. I am involved in an awesome program called BzzAgent. As a BzzAgent, I get new products sent to me and get to provide my opinion to the lovely public! This BB cream lives up to it's hype. The coverage is very light, but yet still covers slight imperfections like my under-eye discolaration. My skin felt like it was glowing, and I love that it is oil free and has sunscreen protection. Garnier has a winner.

 

I would love to hear from everyone! Tweet me if you get a chance

XCLUSIVE INTERVIEW:RICHIE NODOZE

I’m Back! I know I have been gone quite some time, but I have been busy working on exciting projects. I HAD to write about this, and let you all know about what’s poppin’ and who clearly got NEXT from Atlanta’s music scene…an underground artist – Richie NoDoze. Richie is a huge artist on the mix tape circuit, and has been for a minute. I actually first heard of him on an underground Remix of Chris Brown’s “Look at Me Know”. I received an exclusive invite to interview Richie at an indie artist industry showcase, and I couldn’t wait to talk to get to know him and understand the evolution of the artist that you will surely see at the forefront very soon. Check out some of his work below.

 

 

Richie’s most recent work can be heard on his popular mix tape ,“Wreck It Radio.  It was definitely a pleasure on my end, I’m glad he took a moment with me. 

Till next time  - PeachyBella xo

 

Victoria Secret V-Day Partay & Gumbo

Loooooooooooooooooooo-Veeee was the theme this week, and of course I hope everyone’s cupid made the mark. J First up, when I found out Victoria Secret was having a pre-Vday party @ Lenox, I was elated. And who better to indulge my childhood obsession with this day, then my bestie.

 

 

 (S/O to Marquita @strongquita1283) And no, Chanel Iman, was unfortanetly not at the Atlanta soiree.

  Okay, let’s start off with the good shall we? Yes, they had a DJ, the playlist was ummmm yeahhhhh mehhhhh. So they tried. The store was uber packed with people, they had  raffles for prizes, and a table where you could treat your fingers to a mani (i.e fingernails painted). Of course by the time I arrived the list was already filled, so I strolled right over to something less busy. They had a lady analyzing your lip prints.  After much “deep” thought she said I'm “Glamour Goddess”, yup sounds about right, and of course she let me know the shade to reflect my inner goddess: “Linger”. I can roll with that, I do tend to make a lasting impression, tehee. 

 

 Well this special “event” I just chalk up to plain old sales and marketing.Of course that didn't stop me and bestie from chilling, and making photo-ops!

 

 

 

 I did however get to go to a new restaurant (to me @ least) courtesy of the handy Scoutmob (@Scoutmob) app. I went to McKinnon’s Restaurant (It is right around the corner from Lenox Mall) for some Louisiana bouillabaisse (pronounced bulla-bayze??, say 3x fast lol), and boy did they not disappoint this was the highlight of my day! I even topped off the meal with warm lattes. Yummay& delici-oso!!!

 

 

The service was excellent too. What spot should I try next time?  Till next time XOXO. J (by Peach Bella @i_amaBeauT)
