Happier than a camel on Wednesday, tho…

Just touched down in the States! And while I’m currently dranking in all this good Boogie love, I thought I’d post a few pics that didn’t make the previous posts. Also, HennaSooq and I kinda dropped the ball on the giveaway situation… there were supposed to be many more… and so there shall be 🙂 I’ll be giving away more stuff this week, to include a second year long supply of Red Raj (!!!!), 3 henna gloss bars, 5 handmade shampoo bars and a Basics of Body Art Kit. Stay tuned!

Oh yes, but today (along with the announcement of the previous winners), I’m giving away some Dead Sea Mud… direct from the Dead Sea!

#MissedASpot

More Pics and Deets!>>>

So after reading all of your comments about the Wailing Wall, I remembered that I forgot to share our pics! We were snapping with 2 different iPhones, a Cannon and a Sony on this trip so things got a bit cray.

We went to the Wailing Wall during our tour of Jerusalem and I said a ton of prayers… for fam, friends, y’all, peace… #errythang

See my face? That was me looking for assistance in getting my prayer slip to stay in the wall so my prayer would go through, lol #LookAtAllThePrayersOnTheGroundTho

We also hit up the Dead Sea! It’s actually a lake and it’s below sea level– at earth’s lowest elevation on land! That’s a pic of us at the ‘sea level’ mark right off the highway. We jumped back in the car and drove for another 15 miles or so and we ended up here–

On camel back… #TourismTho #TannedMuch?

Then, here. In my mind (which can be warped at times), I envisioned black, bubbling water, lol! It looked like any old beach but once you stepped in, it was abundantly clear that this ish was different. The floor was ridiculously slippery, mostly because it was made of the famous mud you use for beautifying and such. Also, because The Dead Sea is one of the world’s saltiest bodies of water, you can’t drown… well, maybe I could, and I tried, lol, but you can’t help but float (if you relax). It felt like trying to sink a ball in the tub… Also, nothing lives here, definitely not fish.

We slathered up…

You have to let it dry before you rinse off, so #WaterToWine while you wait 🙂

Oh, hey Resa, boo! She was the bestest host ever. She let Dr. Daddy drive her car all the way to the Dead Sea and she even got in on some spa action! That’s her little Boogie, Ofry. She’s listens in English but responds in Hebrew! #Levels

We let the mud dry and upon rinsing, revealed, plump, smooth, incredibly soft and radiant skin. So I brought home some in a bag and bought several bags right there on the spot. One of which, I’m giving away to you!

Dr. Daddy and Resa navigating back to Tel Aviv, through the desert… I was in the back eating cheese curls with Ofry.

We had a whole natural hair meetup situation I forgot to tell you about… these are two of the beauties from our lunch date! #StillGivingAwayBooksTho

And last but not least, Hillary FANGA, cooked us a Trinidadian meal! Of all of our international travels, we had some of our most racist moments in Israel (too many to count, or recount here). But spending quality time and breaking bread with #OurPeople (while telling crazy stories about #Folk), works as one hell of a reset button. Thank you Resa and Hillary for taking us in and showing us your Israel.

#LastSupper

Later Gators,
Nik

Hip Hop beef may be back, but the antics are on another level. Rick Ross didn’t take Drake’s recent dis track Push-Ups lightly. Rozay immediately took to the studio to comeback at the ‘white boy’ with a dis of his own entitled Champagne Moments. The MMG CEO explains that he is on a different level of gangster and the Instagram antics can’t get him out of a luxurious seat in his private hanger. While exposing fandom audio, switchable accusations, and fake body parts, Rozay says this beef has to end face to face. Let us know your thoughts on the official video below. Stream your copy of the single here and follow Rick Ross on Instagram and Twitter.

Kazon’s ‘My Brother’: A Harmonious Tale of Redemption and Advocacy

King O'muni Lens

In the bustling streets of Southeast, Washington DC, rapper Kazon’s latest offering, “My Brother,” emerges as a symphony of redemption and advocacy, resonating with audiences far and wide.

Kazon’s path to musical stardom has been fraught with obstacles, from brushes with the law to a brush with death that left him scarred but unbroken. Through it all, he credits his resilience to the belief that every setback is an opportunity for growth.

With “My Brother,” Kazon takes on the role of a lyrical mentor, offering guidance and solace to Black youth grappling with violence and systemic oppression. Through heartfelt verses and melodic refrains, he shares his own journey of redemption, using his past mistakes as a catalyst for change.

At its core, “My Brother” is a call to action—a plea for unity, love, and advocacy within the Black community. Kazon’s harmonious tale serves as a reminder that through solidarity and advocacy, we can effect real change and pave the way for a brighter future.

As the final notes of “My Brother” fade into the ether, Kazon’s message lingers: every trial is a testament to our strength, and every mistake is a chance to do better. Through his music, he invites us to join him in a journey of redemption and advocacy—one that holds the promise of a more just and equitable world for all.
