Totally LOVESTRUCK
“Lovestruck is about the emotion and rush you feel when you are falling in love and going for it… those heart-pounding moments of spontaneity”- Vera Wang
Lovestruck smells like love, and makes me wanna be in love. I love, love, love it!
I’m completely and utterly in love with this fragrance. Vera Wang has definitely taken things to a whole new level with this one. I have never smelled anything like this before and was hooked upon first sniff… it takes all of my power not to drown myself in it.
Lovestruck is inspired by a modern day twist on Romeo & Juliet, and captures the feeling of a woman who is struck by love and captivated by passion.
What’s in it? Pink guava, mandarin, tuberose, lotus bloom, precious woods and sheer musk… it’s so amazing.
The packaging is just beautiful! “Young in spirit and classic”, the bouquet of flowers and tulle bow… genius.
I MUST get my hands on the lotion and shower gel, and then maybe another bottle of the perfume… You should too.
Thanks to Coty for sharing the L-O-V-E.
peace and love

Are You Living The Way You Should
The other day while I was reading an article online I found this amazing quote from the Dalai Lama. It really resonates with me and I think it will with you. So stop and smell the roses and LIVE!!!!!!!!
‘The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered “Man. Because he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never lived.’
much love, @itstanyag

The @Oxymorrons Album Release with @Game_Rebellion
Alternative hip-hop band, The Oxymorrons, had a release party for their new mix tape, STFU & Listen, this past Friday at the Rocawear Showroom in Manhattan…and it was CRAZY!! MTV’s Sway hosted the event and Game Rebellion performed an amazing opening act.
First of all, you may wonder, who are the Oxymorrons. In their words:
“Imagine Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys had a musical love child, which was raised by Chuck Norris and went to school with Rob Zombie. They are nothing like that. In a cookie cutter fad educed world of hip-hop, the Oxymorrons are breaking the mold on a daily basis. The dynamic duo of K.I and D create playful thought provoking melodies that define an era of hipster and cool nerds that aren’t afraid to embrace their inner ‘GEEK'”
And secondly, you may want to know who Game Rebellion is? Well, here is is:
“An all Black all outta Brooklyn band whose metal, punk and rudeboy skanking licks sound as credible and crunchy as their hiphop lyrics and headnodding bounce.”
If you’re into indie, alternative hip-hop sounds, both bands are definitely worth checking out. There’s no sitting down when it comes to listening to these beats. In fact, there was an all-out mosh pit going down inside the Rocawear Showroom (no, I didn’t participate, in case you were wondering!).
Right now, you can download the entire STFU & Listen album for free here! And learn more about Game Rebellion at their website.
