Jordan Retro 10 Black and White Stealth

Back at it again GoodLifers! This Saturday, the Black and White retro 10s will be hitting the stores, and if you are like me you can not wait to pick these up! These will be the last pair of retro 10s for the year, and possible for the next five years. So if you are a fan of this shoe, make sure you go pick up a pair. I know I will be copping me a pair!

Justice for Trayvon!

Good evening GoodLifers, looking at the picture above you see a normal 17 year old kid with his whole life ahead of him. By the actions of a trigger happy racist vigilante, this young man's life has been cut way too short. In the past month, this story has been a very high-profile case and has gained national attention. On February 26th, during the all-star game, Trayvon Martin was sent to the store to pick up some snacks for his dad. On his way back from the store, Trayvon was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch captain by the name of George Zimmerman. Before the shooting, Zimmerman called the police stating there is "a real suspicious guy" in the area; Trayvon was wearing a hoodie, but I guess that made him "look suspicious." This guy shoots an unarmed kid, and is not behind bars because of it, only because Zimmerman is saying it was in self-defense. This case has hit home pretty hard, because Trayvon could have been any one of us.

This is far from a white and black issue, it is an issue between right and wrong. Yesterday in New York City, there was a "Million Hoodie March" in honor of Trayvon. The March was to bring attention to the case , and to help put George Zimmerman in prison. To help out with bringing this child killer to justice, go sign the petition at Change.org. WE ARE ALL TRAYVON MARTIN!

RIP B.I.G 15 years later

"Call the crib, same number, same hood, and it's all good" What's up Goodlifers! 15 years later and the Notorious B.I.G lyrics are still being quoted and used. Here at Goodlife we celebrate the life of Notorious B.I.G. Today marks the 15 year anniversary of when Biggie was gunned down in Los Angeles; although his murder is still unsolved. We still would like to show respect to one of the greatest of all time! So make sure that you bang your favorite Biggie song loud tonight, in honor of this rap icon. We'll always love Big Poppa!

Invisible Children/ Kony2012

Hello GoodLifers! Our website is to acknowledge individuals that are living a good life. We promote anything that is positive in our city, and surrounding areas. This post is a little bit different, and something that needs to be stopped! I was randomly searching YouTube for videos, when I came across this tragic story. If you do not know the story, here is a little run down. Joseph Kony is the Leader of the LRA, and a war criminal from Uganda. Kony kidnaps the children turning the boys into child soldiers and forcing the girls to become sex slaves; he then makes the children kill their own parents. Here at GoodLife, we support the capture of Joseph Kony, and we hope you feel the same. To find out more about this story, look at the video posted below or visit Kony2012.com. Our voice can make a difference and it starts here.

Beautiful Belinda Nguyen

Take A good look ladies and gentlemen at this beautiful women by the name of Belinda Nguyen. Smart, talented, and and beautiful are just a couple of words that can describe this young entrepreneur. Check her out.


GLC: Beautiful Belinda, tell us your nationality?

Belinda: I am Vietnamese.


GLC: What are your career goals?

Belinda: My career goals are to finish as a successful designer and entrepreneur.


GLC: What made you want to start modeling? And do you one day see yourself being a super model?

Belinda: I started modeling because its one of my biggest interest; the traveling that comes with it, and being in shows, and print. I do one day see myself working towards the bigger picture of being a supermodel.


GLC: What do you look for in a man?

Belinda: The person has to have high standards, family values, like to have fun, grounded but still not boring. Educated, book, and street smart. Also has to have style and of course have to be able to deal with me traveling a lot. Also has to have a caring side and enjoys art, music, and culture as much as I do.


GLC: So we know fashion is a big part of modeling, What is your favorite designer and why?

Belinda: Yes, I really love Rachel Roy. She has a lot of feminine romantic pieces in her line, yet they are so simple, and you are able to wear it business wise to the office as well.


GLC: Who do you look up to or draw inspiration for modeling? Whether it be a famous model or just a person you are close with?

Belinda: Quanh Di, Adriana Lima, Anna Beatriz Barros.

                                                                                 
GLC: What is the next BIG thing for Belinda?

Belinda: Next big thing. Get my brand out. Clothing line, which will also include shoes, and eventually accessories as well as perfume, and makeup.


GLC: As a model do you think that it is necessary to move to a big city like New York, Chicago, or L.A. just to make it?

Belinda: I feel you don't necessarily have to, if you can fly out to location at any given notice, but to be in the scene, yes, there are bigger opportunities for model work in the bigger cities.


GLC: What do think it takes to make it big?

Belinda: I know attitude, personality, determination, and work ethics are a few factors that are major to make it big. If you have a negative attitude dealing personal and business wise, you won't get anywhere.


GLC: We ask everybody this question on the site. If you had 25 dollars and you had to get something to eat, drink, and listen to, what would they be?

Belinda: I'd get something like a smoothie or Cane sugar drink. Then I would eat some Pho, beef noodle soup, or some fried chicken with crinkle cut fries. It's so hard to choose just one thing to eat. I love food too much. I'd listen to some hip hop or R&B.

                                                                                   
GLC: What would you say that you bring different to modeling?

Belinda: We need more Asian models in the supermodel industry, and more in film. So that being said, I got a different style to me. Fresh. Representing for the sexy and modern.


GLC: Any words for the up and coming?

Belinda: Be yourself. Don't worry what other people think. Just be you and go out and chase your dreams!!!g
