I Just Had A Baby! BLACK BRIDAL BLISS is Born!

Howdy, folks!

I know, I know. I have a lot of nerve, right? Not updating PPT in a month of Sundays. (Even my mother started asking when I was posting again.) I'll spare you guys the lame excuses but trust that I am going through all sorts of life changes professionally and emotionally. And some of those changes will become clear to you by the end of this post.

I have just given birth! And her name is BLACK BRIDAL BLISS. She's brand, spankin' new and you can check her out here.



While Black Bridal Bliss has been a dream of mine for the past couple of years, I decided I needed to really make her happen after getting bitten by the layoff bug last fall. I had been putting her off and putting her off, (Remember this post?) working on someone else's dream instead of tackling my own. (And remember this post?) God sure knows how to get your attention, huh?

So, let me tell you a few things about my new little one. First and foremost, although I just popped her out I sense that she's going to grow fast. She's fiesty I tell 'ya. There's a lot she wants to share and she finally has the proper platform to do so. She'll be updated every weekday and every Tuesday she'll highlight the nuptials of "real" people. There will also be posts on style, honeymoons, planning, budgeting ideas, expert tips and tricks and more! This baby is something else, y'all.

Be sure to have a look at Black Bridal Bliss and comment here or there to tell me what you think. (Good, bad or indifferent -- this mama can take it.)

Thanks for rocking with me through the "down" time. I'm back y'all. And Bsqaured is now double trouble. Enjoy the bliss!

WEDDING WEDNESDAY ON ESSENCE.COM!


Folks, don't you love weddings? Of course you do! Even those of you who are cynical about marriage or just flat out think weddings are a waste of time and money are secretly intriqued by them.

Admit it.


Well my cyberfriends, each and every Wednesday on ESSENCE.com, you can read about a different (brown) couple who jumped the broom and learn a little about the hurdles they hopped to get there too. Plus check out pics of the the cake, the dress(es) and possibly view a video. An extra bonus is the practical advice in the form of a "Bridal Budget Bite" that each newlywed shares. The feature is called Bridal Bliss and it sort of my new baby and your support will help me with a much bigger project I'm working on.

Check out yesterday's Bridal Bliss pics here and read the story here. And don't worry, I won't tell anyone you looked. It'll be our lil' secret.


BTW - Happy Belated Earth Day!
