Hell Is Freezing Over In New Orleans For Mardi Gras

mzcakez

It is happening….Hell is truly freezing over New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Fat Tuesday 2021 will go down in the books as the strangest Mardi Gras ever. There will be no floats, no beads, no large crowds, and no trash to clean up after the parades. But, there may be snow…or at least a lot of ice. It has snowed in the past in New Orleans and there is certainly something magical about it. However, please stay safe and try to stay close to home and not venture out on the icy roads.

NOLA Hurricane Preparedness Tips

mzcakez

Here’s some information I have found over the years that may help you prepare for Hurricane Season. As well as a story or two with it. 1. If the words “Mandatory Evacuation” is put in place for your area, please leave. I’m making this 1st because we seem to put it at the bottom of the list. As well as put it to the back of our mind. Why?? I’m thinking, because we may feel we have enough supplies, they always tell us to evacuate, and then the storm weakens, and the list goes on. Some may think we have … Continue reading NOLA Hurricane Preparedness Tips

New Orleans is drowning, but not our spirit

They come with their slick pimp sweet whispers of hope and betterment for the children of Nola. They seduce the city, our motherland, Nola, and she opens her heart and soul, giving them the key to her, the city of New Orleans… Nola only gave freely, because she wants the best for her children (New Orleanians) and they came dangling good living, a life we have needed for years. She was impressed by the wealth and security that they could provide and all she could think of was how good this would be for her children, the people of the city.

You can get with this or you can get with that! The Copy Cat’s Sephora and Moschino or Supa’s orginal The Crayon Case? I Choose to not shop at Sephora.

I sadly report that the mega-million dollars Sephora has a partner with Moschino to create a makeup line that New Orleans own Raynell Steward created and launched in 2017 entitled “The Crayon Case.” After years of working as a waitress and housekeeper in the New Orleans tourism industry. She leaped a faith and created her own New Orleans inspired makeup line featuring a wide variety of colorful hues of all things makeup that will have your face beat to the gawds. The names alone will have your mouth craving for the taste of New Orleans, the line at Sephora cannot compete with Supa’s The Crayon Case.

Hurricanes, African Slave Trade, and angry spirits??? My thoughts.

mzcakez

There are African-American folktales about Hurricanes being the energy source of our ancestors; stolen Africans, beaten and lost at sea. Can Hurricanes be a mythical avenger that comes to right the wrongs of our ancestors? Souls of the sea, who unleash their wrath annually unto their oppressors?
Is there a connection between the Atlantic Slave Trade Routes and the path taken by hurricanes? If so, what about those who did not die while en route but made it to live out their lives as slaves? What vengeance do they get? Continue reading Hurricanes, African Slave Trade, and angry spirits??? My thoughts.
