BOOM!!!!

As introduced in my last post, my singer/songwriter dearest bestest friend in the whole widest world ToriTori has finally released her first solo project!!! *BOOM*

After releasing her single "Wow", ToriTori is extremely excited to debut her very first independent project "Boom". Her style of pop infused R&B, Hip Hop and dance creates a sound that is not only unique but authentically pure from the heart. With lyrics you can emotionally relate/connect to and beats that make you drop it like its hottness; you really can't go wrong. ^_^ WE.LOVE.THAT!

With all the technical difficulties and postponed dates the project is complete. Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches, not rush things and let it all fall into place on its own. #LessonLearned

".....a friendship that will never end."

Although yesterday (Valentines Day) is perceived to be the day for the couples/lovers, I decided to spend my day with my bestfriend/sister/confidant/sidekick/Roommate/wife Latoria "ToriTori" Boyd.

I've known Tori for 4 long years and its crazy how if i'm ever seen without her it's as if i'm walking around without my right arm. Pretty much all of Boston knows us for being together 90% of the time. We sing together, dance together, live together and shop together. It's kinda scary now that I write about it.... lol

Being the salt&pepper duo that we are, we got all dolled up and wen't on a Valentines day journey...

Aren't we just adorable with the same hairstyle and all?! A mess.... lol

We got so caught up with watching Joan Rivers "Fashion Police" review on the Grammys red carpet ( and it took us a good hour to get dressed) that we missed our LongHorn date -_-

Not letting our procrastination defeat us, we decided to walk down Boylston until we found a spot for our Valentines date.

But good ol' BASHO never fails us.

BASHO is conveniently located up the block from our apartment, so it all worked out in the end. We ordered the spicy tuna roll, crazy roll (which I couldn't eat because i'm allergic to shellfish...ugghhh. Life.) and Smoked salmon fried rice. YUMM YUMMM YUMMMMMM!! So delicious.

The sushi didn't stand a chance and my chopstick scruggle is so apparent. lol.

All in all we enjoyed ourselves. Tormi is my ride or die and she's the bestest Valentine ever.

P.S We didn't exchange any chocolates because we believe in the CVS day after holiday candy sale, Oh yes we do.

*P.S.S:*
ToriTori is an artist. She has her first single "WOW" (out now, free download) off her up and coming EP "BOOM" and the song is HOTT!!!! I had the wonderful pleasure of creative directing her promo video so take a look and listen, let me know what you think of it! :)


P.S.S.S 

The sudden passing of Whitney Houston has scarred my heart forever. Her music is my life soundtrack and I will forever love her for sharing her talents with us. Thank you God for her and may she now rest in paradise. <3
