If you follow me on Twitter or on Facebook, then you know that 2 weekends ago, all my buzz was dedicated to my Live Edible Destination show at the National Black Arts Festival. I’ve been attending this festival since I was a little girl and imagine my wide tooth grin when they asked me to [...]

Heat | Desires | Mango Basil Popsicles

Shelley — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 13:45:27 +0000

Let’s face it. It’s July and it’s hot on this side of the equator. While many are fanning feverishly, running to the nearest AC or complaining of the sweat that threatens their Dominican blow out…I am creating a solution. I’ve known for a long time that I have a very different relationship to heat and [...]

Kitchen Chemist: Laundry Detergent ~I Made It!

Shelley — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:00:25 +0000

That’s me in my newly laundered purple dress. The dress is pretty fly, but even flyer is the fact that I washed it in my own laundry powder. I’ve been wanting to give Tide and Purex the boot for a long time. They’re such polar opposites but I chose either/or based on my capital flow [...]

This Foodie’s Fears

Shelley — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 12:00:20 +0000

They say there is a Point of No Return. No collecting $200 after passing Go. There’s just a path, that we either create along the way, or create before we arrive and spend a lifetime trying to find it again. Either ways, step by step, we find ourselves walking, crawling, marching, running, moseying, tip toeing [...]

On Cooking and Choosing Parents

Shelley — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 16:23:08 +0000

People often asks me what inspires my culinary culture and I tell them two things: Travel and My cooking family. I chose a Daddy that blessed my Saturday mornings with pancakes, waffles and biscuits sopped in syrup, grits with sugar (it’s the only way I’d eat them), scrambled eggs and cheese, sausage patties, and crispy [...]

Vacate & Be

Shelley — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 16:56:49 +0000

I took a vacation. After embracing my path and making a major career switch by leaving my full time 7:30-3 and fully committing my being to Naturi Beauty, I decided it was time to take a break. After all working a full-time job while building a multi-billion dollar empire is no easy task and while [...]

Today marks the official start of summer and I will be celebrating it atop a beautiful mountain with my sisters and the picnic you’re about to witness.
