This San Diego native is one of the most played artists on my iTunes right now. Her sultry, smoky, raspy, voice is so hypnotic...it definitely puts me in my happy place. If you haven't heard of her before, i definitely recommend checking her out. She reminds me a lot of Lykke Li...just based on her melodies and unique sound. I've seen her live before as well. She opened for Jason Mraz on his last tour. That's actually how I discovered her. Anyway, she's definitely worth the listen.

I'm not the biggest fans of pageants...especially with the recent hype that has been surrounding these kiddie pageants...but it's always nice to see a woman of color win something.

Congrats to Miss Virginia, Caressa Cameron who was just crowned the new Miss America

Hello world!

Its sooo time that i started my own blog.

I guess i should start off with a little bit about myself.

My name is Nia Mayani. I'm 21yrs old. I'm fat, fabulous, and loving it. I love fashion. I love music. I love food. I love people who live their lives for themselves. My blog will be a mix...a "bouillabaisse"...of all things that rock my world. Music, fashion, food, family and friends, and everything else in between.
