Brandy, Straight Up No Chaser

Do you gift the men in your life on Valentine Day?

Everyone always want to start a new year life change, manifesting and putting together a vision board and writing new affirmations. By March, many have given up and don't understand why it's not working out for them. Here's my thoughts on why. And my special guest, my sister Star explain why she doesn't really don't do resolutions anymore. Please chime in and share your thoughts about this topic. Thanks for listening to "Brandy Straight Up No Chaser" it means a lot. 

This is a teaser of my upcoming topic on Brandy, Straight Up No Chaser. I have some single associates and friends that always reach out to talk about the type of partner they're looking for so I thought I should do a podcast about this. Like most, when I was a pre teen I use to sit around with my sisters and fantasy about my dream guy. Both as a grown woman I can't understand how women and men in their late 30's, 40's and 50's still are talking about their pre teen dream partner. Just like I ask my friends when they call, why should a millionaire or billionaire come home to you? It's nice to manifest things in your life but if you're not equal to what you have on your list then how can you set high expectations on what your partner must have to date you. Instead of saying a person have to buy you an Hermes handbag or a person must have a perfect body from getting cosmetic surgery. Ask yourself, do you have that amount for that bag in your bank account? Do you have that amount for that person's surgery in your bank account? If the answer is no, then you can't have that high expectations. So look in the mirror at yourself and ask why should someone give you luxe items if you can't give it to yourself.  I hope you listen to the full podcast and chime in and let me know what you think. See Ya Bye & Luv You Mean It. 

Everyone is concern for Chris Rock and what this did to the Oscar’s on Sunday night. Let me get this out the way, violence shouldn’t be on TV but we see it in TV shows, on movies and its happening in real life. 😂😂😂 I’m not here for Will & Chris. I’m here to check on one person in that’s the real victim. How is Jada handling everything?! So many of our peers struggle with depression and other mental issues. After Sunday night I’m wondering the same about Jada. Because she has an auto immune disease she can’t be stressing because it can lead to a flare up. I know about that very well. So while everyone is laughing and talking BS, I hope they can find it in their heart to stop talking negative about her and pray that she’s healing.❤️‍🩹 Strong people hurt too let’s remember that 💜🙏🏾

On today's episode of Brandy, Straight Up No Chaser, Hawaii Celebrity Makeup Artist & Lifestyle Influencer Brandy Gomez-Duplessis invited guest Lena Mossman, Account Executive from L'OREAL Paris International Designers Collection from Hawaii/GUAM to chat about her new Valentine's Day Gift Launch.

I’m Straight Up No Chaser but many are not. Everyone has a lot to say about Erika Jayne. I want to know why so many have this angry energy towards her now when just last season they couldn’t get enough of her. Hopefully the ones complaining will have an honest conversation with me to share why they mad about Erika Jayne and her husband Tom.

Do real friends have uncomfortable conversations with each other? If so, how do you go about having these conversation? Did the friendship end or do the friendship grow because of it?

We're happy that everyone is going on vacation & holiday. But some travelers etiquette need some work. Because we're here in Hawaii. we are seeing a lot of entitled behavior that is not cool and not respectful. On the news and social media you're seeing the airport fights, visitors on the road stopping traffic, driving wild causing accidents, tearing up the beaches, trespassing on private property so they can get content for Tik Tok, running out on restaurants taps and so much more. So we decided we should talk about.  Please don't be shy, share with us your opinions. Even if we don't agree and you think you should be able to behave badly while on vacation. We want to hear from you. Thanks for listening to Black Tie Stiletto...See Ya Bye & Luv U Mean It! Brandy & Anicio

Hey Guys Hey! Today, we were having lunch at Mina's Fish House on the luxurious Four Season's Resort in Ko Olina. As we were eating at the bar, I decided to just film us because we were having great conversation with the awesome staff and amongst ourselves. At some point, I gave Michael (hubby) a tap kiss and WOW...that opened up the flood gates. Because, we were not planning on filming, we didn't have a mic on and it was a little noisy in the background but I had to share this with you guys.  Tap Kiss (noun) A kiss that barely makes contact used to pacify or discourage more kisses. A "I'm not really in the mood kiss" or "Will you leave me the F@#k alone kiss) otherwise known as "The Peck" I want to know if other couple's has had this topic of conversation before? Where do you stand on a Tap Kiss, or as Michael calls it...a Tap Tap. We appreciate you for listening, Mahalo Brandy & Michael
