Hello again GoodLifers, we are back with another album review. This week's album is Rick Ross God Forgive, I Don't. Sorry it took so long to review this album, but there were a few people telling me to listen to the album more, before I made my final decision. Rick Ross is back with his fourth album, and just like the other three the beats are hot! God Forgive, I Don't is filled with a lot of hot features, such as NaS, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, and Andre 3000, but with all the guest features does not make the album hot. I will admit, there are a few songs that I can rock with but each of those songs have a guest feature. Rick Ross has a few lines in a couple of songs, that left me scratching my head; like he had flow like Rakim and in five songs he reference that he's "court side at the Heat game." Not hating on this CD, I was just expecting it to be like the mixtape that was release earlier this year. Despite how I may feel about the album, find out for yourself and if you love it, more power to ya!
Ok GoodLifers welcome back. I want you all to meet Americas Next Top Model, and when I say that I mean this young lady by the name of Shavonne Marie has got the whole package. She is about her business, and on her way to the top. When you see her you will be mesmerized by her beauty, but that's not all she has. Lets see what this sexy, beautiful, gorgeous, fine, intelligent young lady had to say to the Campaign. ENJOY!
GLC: Ms. Shavonne Marie tell us where you from?
S.M.: Kalamazoo, MI
GLC: How did you get started in Modeling?
S.M.: When I was a little girl my father signed me up, he said he had a beautiful daughter. When he passed my mother found the acceptance letter into modeling agency and told me not to think about it until I was finished with school. Once I'm close to finishing college- I decided to try it and see if it's something I'm good at and could get bookings. Ever since, I have been doing what I LOVE.
GLC: What heights do you plan on taking your modeling to? What are your goals?
S.M.: I want to be able to model full time and be able to live very nice off of it. I am in grad school as well so I do have a follow up plan. I also act and host. So staying relevant doing either of these while making some money and connections would be my dream.
GLC: What is your definition of a Good Life?
S.M.: Being happy- emotionally, physically, mentally, financially, healthy; family wise, love wise, and career wise.
GLC: Name 3 things that separate you from other model?
S.M.: Determination (networking, staying relevant), motivation (money and connections), Diversity (photo film, and changing it up- while still being me.
GLC: What do you think it takes to get to the next level, to be a supermodel?
S.M.: What I need to do to make sure I know I really tried to be on top is to move out of Kalamazoo. I travel a lot, but I want to be able to go to more auditions, castings, network more. I have been looking at Chicago, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. God will show me the way. I deserve it.
GLC: If you had $25 dollars and you had to get something to eat, drink, and something to listen to, what would they be?
S.M.: I would get Chinese food to eat, drink Moscotto, and listen to slow R&B (preferably 90's R&B)
GLC: Single or Taken?
S.M.: Taken by my boyfriend Tyson, we have been together for 4 years. He's my biggest supporter. He is also a graphic designer; he does my comp cards, posters, flyers, business cards, etc...
GLC: Any up and coming events?
S.M.: I was just asked to do a shoot for Aspen Magazine in Atlanta. And I am putting together a fashion show in August for a T-Shirt and Jewelry line. I will be announcing a casting call soon. I just got new management out in Chicago (shout out to JBoogie with Royalty ENT) who has been submitting my portfolio everywhere. So there are a lot of good things coming my way.
GLC: Shout outs?
S.M.: All my fans, supporters, photographers, agents, managers, and promoters who help me and had faith in me along my journey. God, my Father David Sr, Amandy, Alycia, David Jr, Tyson, Jrae, Lenny, Aaron White, Kristi Fitts, Madeline Zachary, Crystal, Ola, Slim, JBoogie, Greenvine Photography, GD Productions, Debbie, Alan Lee, Tanisha, CeCe, Isis, Sid the Rock, Greg and Gary.

Hello GoodLifers! This is the first of many album reviews that we are going to do. It only seems right to start it off right! This man needs no introduction, if you do not know who NaS is then you need to go pick up the Illmatic album. NaS is back with his 10th album and if this is the last NaS studio album, he has definitely went out on top. Life is Good takes you back to the Illmatic NaS, each songs reminds you of how great NaS really is. He takes you into his life with songs like 'Daughters' and 'Bye Baby' which are about his daughter and his failed marriage to Kelis. The 'Summer on Smash' is a banger, and should be played for the rest of the summer and of course my personal favorite 'Back When.' NaS has brought hip hop back (again) letting all the new young rappers, that he is still the Don of this hip hop shit. Unless Jay,Em, and Ye are about to put out a super Watch the Throne album in the next 6 months, I don't see any album coming close to this Life is Good. Hip Hop Album of the Year perhaps?! Escobar season have returned Grade:A

What up GoodLifers. I bring to you today what we call a beautiful strong women by the name of Cecelia Hughes. This Muskeegon Michigan native is doing some big things in her community, she loves fashion, and modeling, but what we found out is she has a entrepreneur spirit. Lets see what the young lady with swagg had to tell us.
GLC: What made you absolutely want to start modeling?
CECE: I feel it has always been in me to model, I would always get compliments from people telling me I was pretty, and I have long pretty legs like a model, since I was a child on up, but honestly I did not believe them until I turned around 17 where I learned to appreciate my beauty, I always thought I was cute but not beautiful.. until later lol.. my wonderful husband always tells me I'm beautiful, and supports what I do, but I was so thankful when I was approached and given the opportunity by a local designer in 2005, who first helped me share my passion with the world by modeling in a few of her shows and it felt so good to finally be able to share with the world what I used to only imagine doing, come to reality. I later started to create and coordinate my own shows in Aug of 2009 when I was approached to do my very own first Fashion Show at Pere Marquette Beach, and I've been doing my own Fashion Shows at least 2-3 times per year since then.
GLC: What inspires you for fashion and modeling? CECE: I love to play with different clothing, mixing and matching colors together, shoes, jewelry, etc. I love Ripping The Runway, an adrenaline rush comes over me and I feel somewhat a sense of power, beauty power I guess u could say hahaha, what inspires me the most is the positive feedback, and reaction I always get from my supporters and fans, they give me energy, they are one of the main reasons and my motivation to continue to fulfill my dreams in the fashion world :).
GLC: Who are some of your role models?
CECE: God first, My 2 lovely children, they are my world :) My mom who is now deceased rest her soul, and my dad. I also look up to my older siblings. they are all very successful, I'm the baby of the family so I am trying to get up there financially and hopefully be as successful or more successful than them *wink*
GLC: If you had 25 dollars and had to get something to eat, drink and listen to, what would they be?
CECE: lol hmm let's see since my budget is tight, I would buy a Q'doba Chicken Wrap,
and a Green Tea, I would listen to some Mary J. and some other old school music.
GLC: When and where can we see you rip the runway?
CECE: You can see me and the rest of my beautiful models RIP THE RUNWAY in The Muskegon's Multi-Cultural Hawaiian Tropics Fashion Show part of a Non Profit Organization, Aug. 18th, from 8:30pm-10pm at Pere Marquette Beach 1601 Beach st. Muskegon Mi. 49441, Be There!! We are going to put on a show!
GLC: What are your long term goals?
CECE: One of my long term goals is to hopefully own my own legit modeling agency and teach models free of charge how to get started like I did, I never want to be like some of the other agencies out there they make money off of models but not help the models make money.
GLC: What are your feelings on the new age of modeling w/social media and things of that nature now? Do you feel like its easier to be a model or is it harder?
CECE: I feel like it's somewhat easier, I could write a whole book on this topic...lol but we just have to be careful not to say yes to everything, some people will just try to get you to take off all of your clothes for every pic, and to me modeling is more than showing everything in every pic, don't get me wrong I've done swimsuit shoots before with taste but never did I feel compelled to only show too much skin in every photo, to be considered sexy, I want to be a role model to the younger generation and show them that you can still get very far with class.
GLC: Shout outs?
CECE: Shout to every single person who believes in me, my husband and 2 beautiful children who I love every much, and continues to support me, and to my mom and dad for making me :)
GLC: Any up and coming events you have and where can ppl go to find out about you and other things you have going on?
CECE: Yes:) you can see me and the rest of my beautiful models RIP THE RUNWAY at The Muskegon's Multi-Cultural Hawaiian Tropics Fashion Show part of a Non Profit Organization, Aug. 18th, from 8:30pm-10pm at Pere Marquette Beach 1601 Beach st. Muskegon Mi. 49441, Be There we are going to put on a show!
There you have it. Campaigning for a good life, is what we are all about. Make sure you go check out the fashion show on Aug, 18th. Ms. Cecelia Hughes is on her way to the top, and she is what we call a go getter. GoodLifeCampaign approved.
