Buying disposable razors is a simple process has more of an impact than we realize. Once we get rid of those razors, we toss them out and don’t give them a second thought, but the more we buy and dispose of, the more they fill up landfills, which is not good for the environment. This is something that I never thought about until I got a hold of a new product called “Blade Buddy.”
Blade Buddy is described as a cost-saving, environmentally friendly product whose uniquely designed silicone pad maintains the sharpness of disposable razor blades, so that one blade gives you a close, comfortable shave for months, instead of days. Hit the jump for the commercial that explains how it works and then I’ll tell you how I feel about it.
I’m showing link love to this particular website for a couple of reasons. The one I’ll share is that I like the cause. It’s a group of high school kids who decided to use the internet for constructive activities, as opposed to spreading hate and cyber bullying on message boards, which is clearly an epidemic. This group of young men founded a website entitled, the Cypher League, where the share their love of music by featuring artists and occasionally sharing their thoughts about what’s going on in hip-hop.
The bloggers behind the Cypher League are students who get nothing but As and Bs, they’re heavily involved in constructive activities and they’re generally headed down positive paths in life. Plus, people in this age group tend to be up on what’s next, so if you want to really keep your ear to the ground, then check them out from time to time.

So, what are you waiting for? If you’re in the NYC area then make plans to share the gift of health and fitness with the special lady (or ladies) in your life.

I find it strange that there’s still a stigma about dating online, considering that a lot of people have done it (and still do). Even some of our favorite celebrities have been busted sending lusty dm’s on Twitter or out right sexting naked pictures of themselves, then denying it later. However, Ashton Kutcher has decided to be realer than most and put himself–along with a few other interesting personalities—out on the line.
Yep, there is no shame in his game! He signed up with World Wide Lovers to find his next Mrs. Kutcher (or Mrs. Right Now, perhaps). I know some of you are probably judging, especially considering that Ashton Kutcher doesn’t have a problem pulling fly ladies in real life. But statistics do show that one in five people have found love online so why not? YOLO, right!
Admittedly, I’ve dated a couple of characters men that I met online and they were all, uh…interesting experiences. Luckily, I’m married now and I don’t have to go through that anymore. Even luckier for you is that I’m one less potential match vying for Ashton Kutcher’s heart. Anyway, watch his introduction video and keep reading for more information about how you can get the hook up, no pun intended.
One of the men I dated from the internets was actually a bit like “Nigel” (at 0:12). Thank goodness that didn’t work out. But hey, if this site is good enough for Ashton Kutcher then who knows who else you might find. What are you waiting for? Get to searching!
I caught up with singer/songwriter Bonita and got her to introduce herself. Here, the Brooklyn Native drops knowledge on her grind and how she managed to collaborate with artists like Dipset, and talked about her popular single, “Outta this World,” which features Mickey Factz.
More Bonita coming soon! Special thanks to Bonita and Deshanna!
Earlier today I posted about a dope singer/songwriter by the name of Bonita. You can get to know her in that video but here, she has a special message for the Atlanta-area men out there who might be looking for a date on Valentine’s Day!
Two interesting things happened over the course of last week. One: The OMG Girlz released a single entitled, “Gucci This, Gucci That,” that basically contributes to materialist thought and a false sense of self-worth amongst children. Two: Willow Smith went bald, which pissed some people off but I’m not mad at it. Let me explain…
The OMG Girlz are the brain child of Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, formally of the popular 90s girl group X-Scape, but now known as T.I.’s wife. Anyway, I had high hopes for them when I started seeing them on various reality TV shows affiliated with Tiny but after seeing the following video, my hopes have crashed like the stock market. Check it out after the jump, it’s pretty vapid so you don’t have to watch the whole thing to see where I’m going with this.
I’m tired of this trend and I know many of you are too but I enjoyed Malik 16 and Kompel’s satirical spin on the viral craze. As a journalist, I hear a lot of delusional artists use cliche after cliche when it comes to how “hot” their music is and how they’re about to blow and how they got a “cosign” from [insert big name rapper here] but this was a unique twist to the matter because it added some reality to the situation.
Here’s Malik’s disclaimer about the sketch: Sorry this vid is long, but this concept is really played out now and I made it with no intentions of making a part 2. This was all shot and edited with my iPhone by the way (and it shows).
My boy Redhead always delivers when it comes to finding the right balance between hip-hop, jazz and soul in a way that’s still modern and relatable. Check out his latest video “Aim to Please.”
“Aim to Please” is his newest single from his latest project entitled The Schemata, which can be downloaded here.
My beautiful and talented friend Khaleeqa, of Paparoxi.com, recently featured me in an amazing short documentary but now it’s her turn to be in the spot light. She was just featured by Black Enterprise about how she utilized her passion to get over unemployment. Check her out:
Happy Monday! Be inspired and enjoy the rest of your week.
