Custom Bathroom by Robern!!

I am looking at new houses now and one of my favorite parts of a house has to be the master bathroom. If its not up to my standards I will not think to purchase it. But there are a few designers that I like that are bring new ideas to the market. One of which is the design team over at Robern. I don't really like swinging bathroom cabinets or mirrors but Robern has the Uplift mirrors. They just float upward and has six power outlets, plus a TV mount. Now that's what I'm talking about when it comes to functionality!!

New Hennessy Black!!

Hennessy Black, the company’s first major launch since 1961, will be available in 10 markets throughout the U.S. including Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, New York City, Ohio, Washington DC and Massachusetts. The company hopes the new drink - which has a blend of Jasmine, daffodils and orange flowers mixed with citrus, honey and grapes - will take the Hennessy brand beyond the cognac category to the premium mixed spirits. The drink will come to market with a variety of mixed drink recipes, including: Hennessy Black ice (with lemon juice and sugar); Hennessy Black Bull (coffee Liqueur and cola with ice); Hennessy Black Spice (ginger, syrup and lemon juice); and Hennessy Black Royale (champagne, lemon juice and syrup).

“Today is an ideal time to launch a new product — consumers are increasingly seeking new and different ideas that can excite them,” says Andy Glaser, senior VP of Hennessy Business, adding that the Hennessy Artistry program which blends music, cultures and drinks, has a few more collaborations lined-up for this year to be announced in a few weeks.

Rapper/producer Swizz Beatz has been tapped by Hennessy V.S. to help launch the new, limited line of cognac.

The rapper will perform an original song, “When I Step Into the Club,” alongside the JabbaWockeez of “America’s Best Dance Crew” during a launch event in New York on May 5. An accompanying video by director Hype Williams will be revealed as well.

“Beatz is a long-time fan of the brand and approached us looking for ways we could work together. Since this product is all about having fun in the club, he suggested collaborating on a track that would be a hot dance song in the clubs,” Glaser, tells Billboard.biz.

Looks like some brands are taking advantage of the recession and trying new products out before the economy recovers and the real brand wars begin again! Not mad at you LVMH, looks like the team over there has a well thought out plan. They just seem to be on the pulse of the consumer right now with all the different moves each brand is making underneth them. I have to say they are a very strong Holding Company!! Everyone better watchout!

GET YOUR GAME UP!!

Yes, get your game up with this 3D Chess Board by Ji Lee. Which has one of the most unique chess designs we’ve ever seen. The board has a really interesting design, and makes a decorative centerpiece and great conversation starter. “The three-dimensional chess board adds an extra dimension of physicality to the game’s battle field” says Lee. The King looks less obtainable now, that he is set on his pedestal shared with his wife. When I saw this I had to jack it so shout out to Limite Magazine, their in my blog roll! This Chess board is so DOPE!!!

Quote For Today!

“Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thing was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.”

Is President Barack Obama really 'The Most Expensive President Since 1945??

Let me say this first, I'm down for President Obama 110%, that being said in his first 100 days there are problems with how he is handling things. We have to be truthful to ourselves and look at whats on his plate. At any rate he has a tough job ahead of him and he needs our support. But as I look around not everybody is in favor of President Obama and this fact is crystal-clear from an opinion post on Spiegel. Award-winning journalist, Gabor Steingart, has more than one reason to state that current US President Barack Obama is ‘The Most Expensive President Since 1945’. He isn’t shy from proclaiming that Obama’s first 100 days in office were expensive, glamorous and often contradictory. Evaluating Obama’s performance on why the 44th President got himself tagged as the most expensive President since the year of 1945. The prime reason for Obama's first 100 days touted as the most costly in American postwar history- Obama has ignited a dangerous time bomb in the US government's budget. The economic stimulus program and the billions in bailout funds for Wall Street banks are being paid for primarily with borrowed funds.

Also from a financial standpoint, the United States cannot afford many of these bailout programs as they are not being paid for with taxpayer money. However Obama claims so. Instead, the money is coming from the savings of the Japanese, Chinese and Europeans. The United States now needs $1 billion (€760 million) in foreign funds every working day just to maintain its standard of living. It is also reported that the country consumes more than half of all worldwide savings. Not only is this is costly, but it is also extremely risky. More important, it is not sustainable. By taking this approach, Obama is only leading his country more deeply into dependence on creditors from around the world.

Moreover bank bonuses are likely to be twice as high as they were before the crisis this year. Also the first African-American President’s family’s lifestyle isn’t short of glitz and glamour. It is very obvious that Michelle Obama’s wardrobe is full of designer outfits that make a statement without fail.

Gabor summed it very well - So far, the Obama presidency is as contradictory as reality. No one today can say whether he will end up being the president he wants to be. Presidents develop in office.

To tell you all the truth Gabor makes some very good points when you go back and do your own research. Also 74% of americans are having trouble with their finances and most of these people have manageable debt. So imagine what our President and his team are going to go threw getting this country's debt back in order after we spend our way out of a recession/depression! Its just a thought, keep your third eye open!!!
