Porsha Williams Engaged to Dennis Mckinley-See the 13 Carat Sparkler

Who is Dennis McKinley? Well, info on the lucky guy seems to be close to zilch. Sources state that McKinley is a businessman; however, which industry he is apart of has not yet been revealed.

Nevertheless, the Atlanta native has been pinged as promoting several lounges and events in the ATL area. Thus, creating and pushing some to believe he might own or be a partner in the nightlife scene.

Nonetheless, regardless of his occupation it is clear that he is not exactly hurting. McKinley surprised Porsha with a personalized 13 Carat engagement ring! What type of personalization? Inside the band is Williams’ future name… Porsha McKinley. Awwww! The ring was designed by “Richie Rich” a jeweler who creates for all the biggest designs.

You Asked: Hope you pick me! I want to ask about Porsha Williams swimsuit. She just posted about it and like some of her look. Mainly just the swimsuit. I like it because it is very African Queen. I wish she had done her hair differently and not so sure about the skirt thing she is wearing with it. But I love her swimsuit and I’m curious if the skirt is actually apart of it and how much it costs.

The Verdict: You have been picked honey! The printed swimsuit is by swimwear company, BFYNE. The brand has brought together high fashion and melanin magic which is why we adore their designs as well.

Porsha wore the BFYNE “Imaan” swimsuit while having some fun under the sun in Miami, Florida. Williams hosted a red hot yacht party and her fashion for the event fit the bill.

Relieving Period Cramps Part One – How to Ache Less ASAP

You know they say actions speak louder than words. Of course, a few words of comfort may be nice, but there is nothing like taking action and kicking some serous PMS butt. The first and most natural option that occurs to all of us is to get in bed and cuddle up to a pillow. Rest can be appealing but it is actually movement that will give you relief.

Exercise is one of the best things you can engage in to make your cramps go buh-bye. Do not think you need to do an intense gym session to receive benefits. Any activity like walking can help your body pump more blood, which is what you want.

Aerobic exercise also helps to minimize belly pain through the release of endorphins. These feel-good friendlies react with the brain to decrease the pain threshold. So then, as you work out you will be happier and reduce your cramps at the same time.

Are you usually prone to experiencing painful period cramps? If so, experts recommend aiming to exercise about three or four times a week. Not only will doing so improve your health but you will also bring period cramps to a lower extent and degree.

NeNe Leakes Sports a New Do’!

Arianne Suggs June 19, 2015June 19, 2015Leave a Comment

Reality starlet, actress and Broadway It Girl NeNe Leakes is showing why she is one of Atlanta’s baddest. NeNe rocked a brand new look this week which has deviated from her short hair cuts that she has worn for several years now. NeNe was one of the many celebrities in attendance for the amFar gala which was held in New York. Leakes wore a shimmery black dress, strappy heels and a new sassy hairdo’!

Leakes kept the blonde hair color but is now wearing long wavy hair with a side part. We think the hairstyle looks absolutely fab on NeNe and you can tell that she is feeling it! What prompted the change? Well, who can forget during last season’s escapades where a fellow RHOA (Real Housewives of Atlanta) cast member contrasted Leakes tresses to that of a pack of ramen. Definitely a low blow filled with buckets of shade.

Nevertheless, NeNe is not one to let any woman’s opinion deter her so the change was because she simply wanted it! We always say to rock a style not according to what the masses say but because it is a personal choice. So then, what do you think of NeNe’s new hair look, are you feeling it?
