It’s the greatest month of all time!!!!! There’s Mother Day and Memorial Day but more importantly it’s ya girls birthday in just 14 of them days! Yes, shout out to all my May Flowers and Dynamic Taurus’. We are truly the gift that keeps on giving. Speaking of gifts, here’s my paypal, go ahead and send me a dollar to put towards a Staud Bag (as if I need another clear bag) or toward those precious Chanel slingbacks I accidentally tried on a Saks and now am convinced I need. Currently I’m in Mexico, laying on a beach, sipping cool coconut water straight out of a coconut. Yes, I started my birthday celebration early, but honestly I can’t wait to return to New York City because May in City is quite possibly thee funnest month. There are so many things going on, parties to attend, brunch and picnics to be had and I’m letting you in on all the cool kids shit. Plan accordingly, practice your whining and sturdy milly rocks. Hydrate yourselves and don’t forget to moisturize because it’s gonna be a helluva month.

Get there early as hell because the streets will be filled to capacity with people trying to get in and listen to all di best afrobeats, dancehall, soca while dancing on a rooftop with the city as your backdrop. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door (Don’t chance door tickets the line will snake around the block)
If you live close to the city or are visiting in May, make sure to hit up an event or two while you’re here. Purchase your tickets now and thank me later. Don’t be surprised if you see me there and by all means please say hello.
