2011 wrap-up. the good, the bad, the rest of it.

Well, it’s that time again. The end of one year and the onset of a new one. As such, I thought I’d do one last post for the year. I’m talking about some of my favorite discoveries of 2011 and more. Hope you like it! Disclaimer: This video is not an exercise in [...]

don’t call it a comeback! the experience 2.0

Well…I know I said I was not going to blog anymore, but I couldn’t stay away from y’all for too long. You know how it is sometimes when you’re “going through” and barely feel like doing the things you need to do, let alone some things that are optional. That’s how I was [...]

it’s been real, y’all. the final experience.

As I think about writing this post, various song titles come to mind, namely ‘It’s so Hard to Say Goodbye‘ and ‘Is This the End?‘ Why? Well, I’ve decided to stop writing The Rasberry Experience.

I could’ve just not written another post and let it drift off into the sunset, but I [...]

get your fashion fix! mercedes benz fashion week.

mercedes benz fashion week, new york fashion week, fashion week, 2011, 2012, new york, fall, spring

As you know, I am not a fashion blogger, but I do love fashion and it’s a big part of both my personal and professional lives. The first iteration of my blog was beauty focused but then I decided that I didn’t want to limit myself so I write about beauty, fashion, culture [...]

You may have noticed that I changed the name of my blog and the header. Let me tell you why.

For awhile I have been thinking about what I want this blog to be, what I want to talk about, etc. I initially named it Ms. Rasberry’s World because I intended [...]

why do you blog?

black weblog awards, 2011

The nomination period for the 2011 Black Weblog Awards ended on May 7. During the nomination period, several requests to ‘nominate my blog’ came through my Twitter feed. One very well thought out request came via e-mail and included not only a request to vote, but why and instructions on how. Done! [...]

social boundaries: undrawing the line

Lately the notion of social openness has been on my mind. A few months ago I attended Ignite DC 6 and while I enjoyed most of the presenters, I was especially touched by the bravery of Heather Coleman as she shared her experience with postpartum psychosis. A few days ago, I came [...]

makeup - making me feel good...again

beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but a lil makeup sure can help.

You may know me as a blogger, writer, social media consultant, or overall fabulous person; but depending on how well you know me, you may not know that I’m also a licensed cosmetologist/makeup artist. I have been [...]

love post 7: what you won't do for love

Let me start off by saying that this daily blog challenge has been HARD. I don’t know how people do it. I’m sitting here with 13 minutes left in the day and thinking, “oh my goodness; I need to do a post!” Being short on time and still in the love series, I’m [...]

challenge day 2: writer's block

I am completely stuck on what I should blog about today. I have so many ideas running through my head, but I can’t settle on one. This is definitely going to be one of my major challenges for this month. I’m going to have to come up with an editorial calendar. I’ve already [...]
