Looking for Kim K!


Look at me! Full on "incognito mode" 😅

Lol this was me today after attempting to look for Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian)  and Malika Haqq (@forevermalika) in New Orleans. I literally walked around for hours looking after being prompted by a small hint from her Snapchat (@kimkardashian) as to where she may be:


Unfortunately it was the only hint I was given by Kim K herself and it proved not enough to find her. Oh well maybe next time!

She and Malika had posted a selfie to snapchat earlier this morning in the plane on their way to NOLA

The two flew down in support of their friend Raquel Smith who suffered a gun shot wound to the leg in a road rage altercation that led to her husband's (Former Saints DE Will Smith) death Saturday April 9.

Correction: Khadijah Haqq McCray (@foreverkhadijah) was with Kim K today. I've been fooled by their twin powers 😩😂

I haven't slept..

It's almost 9 a.m. and I still haven't gone to sleep. I've been editing my latest video since 3 a.m. that I had to re-record yesterday due to some annoying circumstances, but this one's a winner!

I am SO pleased with how this one came out and I put a lot of hard work and long hours into this video so I sincerely hope y'all enjoy it and that y'all learn something from it.

I'm currently in the uploading process so it will be up sooner than you think :)

I will have a blog post with product and video details so stay tuned! :)

Here's a cute picture of Mardi Gras "helping me edit" 😒❤️😻
