If anyone needed to write a book on how to be dope, it definitely would be Stanley. He has always remained the same person, and with that he has not only grown as a person, but has helped many others as he has grown himself. Stanley, or as you all may know him as Mistah F.A.B. has and was always on the map way before social media took place. Before Facebook there was Myspace, before Myspace, there was CDs, networking face to face, live rap battles shows, street team promotion, and actually getting up and earning your worth. This is why he is crowned "The Grind King".

Stanley wears so many hats not just as a dedicated Father, but in the music industry, fashion industry, community, and much more. Now Stanley will hold the title as Author and Bestseller. 

Now that's DOPE!!!

Lyfestyle Ink!

You're probably thinking, "Here is another blog about a Tattoo shop". Nope! I'm here to tell you this is not just another shop, this is "Lyfestyle Ink". Artist, Owner, and CEO Daniel Hernandez has made a name not only himself as an artist, but his dream. I've known Daniel for over 5 years now and his only vision/baby has been "Lyfestyle Ink".

Established in September 2012 in San Mateo California, Lyfestyle Ink quickly grew a name for itself, but not only in San Mateo but all over the bay area. As Lyfestyle Ink grew, the shop also complimented upcoming young businesses and entrepreneurs from all over.

Lyfestyle Ink has a relaxed and vintage atmosphere. From the blacked out chandelier hanging from the ceiling when you first walk in, to the jacquard designed walls, the beautiful art work that catches your eye, to the clean, comfortable stations ready to take on new and prior customers. 

Daniel has established Lyfestyle Ink not from celebrities, special guests or appearances. His customer based was all through word of mouth, continued support from customers, and as social media elevated over the years so did his customers. Lyfestyle Ink has a 4.8/5 rating on Yelp!, #1 on the Google search top list for SEO, and the body artwork is uncanny. 

To sum it all up! Lyfestyle Ink will surely be around for years and years to come, I can't wait to see how many more artists and apprentices grow with Lyfestyle Ink. 

So, whether you have tattoos, or looking to get your first tattoo, you would be doing your body great justice in going to the right place. Always remember, you're not just getting a "Tattoo" it's a "Lyfestyle".

Winter & Rain (Bay Area Life)

Living in the Bay Area you know you should always always keep a spare coat, hoodie, or jacket handy. It seems that winter is here, and although the weather goes through it's bi-polar phases, it's the BAY AREA the weather is always changing.

This years FALL fashion has drastically changed. I have seen women and men despite being freezing outside everyone will still wear shorts and flip flops, weird? NO this is a norm in Cali.

I for one, especially those who know me, know that I have to be bundled up but I refuse to wear a jacket. If I'm going somewhere fancy as shown in this picture to your left I have to keep it classy. I didn't get a chance to do a FULL body shot but I have a black long sleeve maxi dress with a fur short sleeve vest with black Christian ankle booties. Although it was cold, I still made sure what I wore over it wasn't "jacket" like. Anyone have any tips, ideas, for the cold night CITY visits. Comment below.

Pound for Pound Andre Ward

Last night Andre Ward beat Sergey Kovalev. Although it was by unanimous decision people all over are arguing that Sergey was robbed. It was a pretty close fight but seeing the fight for myself, and yet although Ward was knocked down to his knees in the second round, it's not about getting knocked down, it's about getting up and getting back on your feet.

Wards movement improved and got better by the fifth round. As a boxer or in any sport you know it takes time to get a feel for how someone plays or fights, you won't know until you actually set foot one on one with your opponent.

I for one think Ward did a great job, he got in there, held his own and won with the decision at 114-113. Either way everyone will have their opinion on how the fight went and that's OK, because everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Congrats Andre!

What Moves you?

Everyday we wake up is a blessing. Do you actually know what yoTrue enough you will have obstacles that approach on a day to day basis, but it's how you handle it when these road blocks arise. Face your fears, welcome those obstacles with open arms, but DO NOT quit. We have to live in the present. Not the past, not the future but the Present, today, at this very moment!

Inspire others to be great, inspire others to do better, to think better, to feel better. Someone told me last year, "What ever you put into the universe, will come back to you 10 X's." It's up to you to decide if what you're giving off is GOOD energy, or is it BAD energy?

The world is already full of so much negative, and hate. We need to inspire, and motivate each others as we would our kids, our families, our loved ones. That is what will make us all LEADERS!

 An army brat for sure, and always moving from different cities since I could remember I would always talk or have an opinion on everything, so my mom tells me. Fast forwarding over the years my passion for music, fashion, people, and the entertainment business pulled me in. No this is not a GOSSIP blog, this is a TRUTH blog. Hearing my truth, hearing those I'm around or associated with speak their truth.

Love, Fashion, Health, Music, Sex, and Truth is what I'm about. I want to share it with the world, and I want you to share your stories as well to inspire others. #KMBBlogMe
