Image
A protester from the organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), disrupted a speech being given by Pharrell Williams at a Biopic Premiere in Toronto.  She rushed the stage with a white sign in her hand that read:  Pharrell: Stop Supporting Killing Animals for Fashion.  Pharrell was in Toronto to support his LEGO biopic entitled, Piece by Piece.   The protester directed a number of statements towards Pharrell and the audience concerning his role as men's creative director at Louis Vuitton.   "Your Louis Vuitton collection … Pharrell’s collection is made from their blood,” the protester shouted to the audience. “Pharrell stop torturing animals! Ostriches are being hung upside down, electrocuted with their necks slit.”   PETA is petitioning Louis Vuitton to stop abusing animals and using their bodily materials for the purpose of fashion creation.  During the protest, Pharrell made a pause during his speech and outrightly agreed with the protester.  "Ok.

Jazmine Sullivan Goes Vegan and Drops a Few Dress Sizes

Image
Powerhouse sanger, Jazmine Sullivan, or as I like to call her “J Sully” has gone VEGAN!!!!!! Welcome to the world of vegan, J Sully!!!!! On the set of her new music video for “Lost One,” Jazmine revealed that her mother is battling inflammatory breast cancer and she desired to support her mother by going vegan with her. Going vegan obviously changed Jazmine’s life in a major way because she’s lost 50 lbs. “My goal was to support my mother through her battle with cancer by going vegan with her, and in turn it helped me as well. And I feel really good,” she said. It’s not a surprise that Jazmine’s mother, pamela, has decided to turn to a vegan plant based diet. I’ve known a couple of individuals who either died from cancer or who are battling cancer and there is a commonality among them. They were or are avid meat eaters. Individuals battling cancer may opt to take an alternative approach and focus on creating major lifestyle changes. This lifestyle change may entail complete removal of

Green Goodness Superfood Smoothie

I wanted to share the post workout smoothie that I created after the wellness festival with you interested people. Ingredients: click on any ingredient below to purchase : ) 2 cups of slightly thawed chopped mango (now you should have known this fruit was going to be in it) 😄😜 1 cup of your choice of fresh greens (I used spinach) 1 cup of vanilla oat milk (I used planet oat) 1 tbsp of Moringa powder 1 capful of Now brand colloidal minerals 1 TBSP blue agave Vitamix I prefer fruit for smoothies to not be completely frozen before adding it to a mix. TBH, frozen fruit makes the texture of smoothies way too thick. If there was a continuum between thick and liquified for smoothies, I prefer it to be somewhere in the middle. Thaw your chopped mangos for about an hour before blending. Once the fruit is thawed, combine all the ingredients into the Vitamix and blend for 40 seconds to 1 minute on medium. Why moringa powder?: Moringa is a superfood and natural adaptogen which contains nine e

Moschino Has the Most Socially Responsible Fashion Show to Date

Image
Jeremy scott, creative director at Moschino, produced a very socially responsible show at SS21 fashion week. he came up with a brilliant idea to showcase a life-like show using marionette puppets instead of live models. It's wonderful that Jeremy took the socially responsible route by refraining from having people attend a live show, which would have put people at risk for spreading or receiving the virus. Seated in the audience were marionnette versions of fashion heads, Anna Wintour, Edward Enningul, Nina Garcia, and Vanessa Friedman. Even Mr. Scott himself had a puppet. The Moschino SS2021 show went on without a real live person modeling the clothes and yet it still managed to be one of the most flawless and creative shows of the century! The film of the show premiered in Times Square, NYC. Jeremy elaborated on how he came up with the idea to use marionettes: "My mantra has been from the very beginning, ‘My body may be in quarantine, but my mind isn’t.’ I’m a creative p

Battle of the CEOs: Elon Musk Shades Bill Gates on Vaccines

Image
Elon Musk and Bill Gates were verbal players in a game of major shade recently. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft has been busy leading efforts to find a workable vaccine as Covid-19 continues to spread through the nation. Gates is a major proponent of vaccination, having said in August, “ If 30%-60% of Americans take the vaccine, exponential spread will stop. It will bring the pandemic to an end.” Mr. Gates has committed to funding an insurmountable sum to vaccine development as well as coronavirus vaccine research. Yesterday, Elon Musk was very vocal about his position on vaccination as it relates to the coronavirus. When asked if he would get a vaccine on a NYT opinion podcast, he issued a sharp, “NO!” He also implied that his children will not be receiving one either. The CEOs’ public spat began in July when Bill Gates expressed disapproval of Musk’s stance concerning the pandemic. “Elon’s positioning is to maintain a high level of outrageous comments,” said Gates. “He’s not much
