As Told By Calynn M. Lawrence

Hey guys! Thanks so much for tuning in. I must say that this blog post is a very special one that I am dedicating to my older sister, Candyss, and my new brother, Rob. This past weekend we all flew to Atlanta to join and participate in their wedding ceremony. As usual, visiting our big sister was filled with good food, fun laughs and tons of memories. However, this was one of the greatest times we have ever had. How grateful we are to say that she has met her Prince Charming and he has claimed his Cinderella. A hard working career woman, Candyss has always been about advancing herself and making progress in whatever field she worked in. She's a #GirlBoss ! Must run in the family ;) Now, she can add many more titles to her resume other than career woman, daughter and big sister. She is now a wife and step mother to a lovely young lady. After having met at their congregation while doing volunteer work, she and Rob quickly fell head over heels in live and now they are hitched! Wha...

"Our team members consists of CashboySteevy ( AKA Steevy Baby ), CashboyDydy, Big Sheng,  King H and CashboyReg ( Reggie Cash Answered these questions as the group spokesperson ). Cashboys613 ,  that’s our name and that’s who we are when we make these videos." How did you get started in your craft? Well I started my journey 6 years ago by making YouTube videos, but then me and my boy just had a different view of what we wanted in terms of careers. So for about 2 years I just focused on hosting. I knew Steevy Baby and one day he reached out to me saying that he really wanted me to join him and his cousin to make funny videos on Facebook. That’s really how Cashboys613 started we were 3 for the longest time giving our fans great comedy on a weekly basis.  In terms for Big Sheng, he has his own YouTube Channel and he was doing his own thing  and King H is the rapper of the group and we always felt like he was funny and he could contribute great ideas. We all c...

Hi guys! I hope you all are doing well. I'm coming at you guys to tell you about an awesome experience that I had with ULTA Beauty. They had their grand opening of a new Chicago location at 4140 S Pulaski Rd a few weeks ago and I had the honor of attending as press, alongside my assistant Shay. I must say that they did more than wow us, they completely moved us. The new store location is very nicely set up, as well as being much more easily accessible to those on the southwest side of Chicago. Rather than the downtown and suburban locations, which are also nice, you can drive a few minutes away or just hop a quick bus from home and get all of your favorite goodies! We recieved such great treatment as VIP press for the grand opening including a private tour of the new store, being allowed to be a part of a pep rally, being offered complimentary facials and even being gifted coupon vouchers! I've been going to ULTA for years but I must say that was the best time I've pers...

Hi guys! I hope all is well :) Thanks again for reading. The other day, I came across a very moving photography collection on Facebook and I just HAD to interview the artist. Her name is Shannon Dermody and she allowed us to ask her a few questions avo9ut her twist on fantasy culture and how it effects society today. "In my class we were assigned to create a 9 photo series. I have uploaded only 8 due to viewer purposes,but you can find it on my website ShannonDermodyphotography.com an it is now unlocked! My concept I created was to show awareness of problems that is going on in the world today.So I decided to use characters that are held in a very high manner to show real world problems that greatly impact todays society. " - Shannon Dermody **Check out her full project here (Trigger Warning): Click me! What made you create this project?  I created this project because it was originally a school assignment. I had to create a 9 photo series that all flowe...

Hello guys! I hope you all are doing well! Thanks again for reading ;) Today, I am sharing thanks and gratitude once again to Neiman Marcus for allowing me the honor of attending as a VIP guest to their CUSP fashion show and panel in early April. And as usual, they were quite impressive from the VIP goodie bags we recieved to the amazing outfit compositions that were strutted down the runway. As someone who works in fashion editorial/media , I am constantly engulfed in fashion related discussion and debate. There's always the questions of "what's hot and what's not," "Trends or classics?," and "who you should be wearing this season." Those key talking points were included in the panel, however, they seemed to delve a little deeper into the relevance and authority of fashion, specifically large houses such as themselves and large designers, as well as how you can utilize fashion's power to better the community. This was very nice in my o...
