As promised, I said I would dedicate a blog to those movers and shakers, the folks out there doing their thang trying to earn their own money. Yep those entrepreneurs or "Baby Trumps". Folks who I am glad to consider friends. Which means, (eh-hem) when yall get rich, "Hook a Sista UUUUUUUUUUP!!!"
Anyway, If you are led to patronize any of these people, by all means do so. And share the information with others. You never know when your good deed will come back to you.
So follow me as we travel through THE EASTERBABY MARKETPLACE.
1 - Kathy Smith - Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Our first stop is at the site of a Non-profit organization. Yes, before you spend all your money let's give a little to those who need it. Kathy Smith is dedicated to fighting cancer. She has given unselfishly of her time and money to participate in countless marathons to raise money in honor of her father who lost this battle. And for the money some of yall spend on some of that Starbucks coffee...how about donating to a worthy cause. Go to her website and read her story and donate. You'll feel better than that coffee makes you feel.

2.Keith Lee Johnson author of PRETENSES, Sugar & Spice, Little Black Girl Lost, and Fate's Redemption
Next stop is at the bookstore. Yep...we all know reading is fundamental. So turn off the idiot box (yall know, the television), and pick up a book. If you like heartstopping suspense, lies, murder, and mayhem, you will enjoy reading Keith's books. And I would like to thank Keith for letting me have a little hand in editing FATE'S REDEMPTION. (Oh don't act like yall didn't know the Easterbaby was multi-talented.) Anyway, the experience was priceless. So in return, I am making sure yall know about Keith Lee Johnson. And when one of his books becomes a movie, look for yours truly on the Red Carpet.

3. Belinda Preacher - BB BEATS
Let's go by the virtual music store and pick up some tunes. For the music lovers out there who love to download, here is your one stop shop to satisfy all your music needs from Belinda, a lady who loves and knows music. But she wrote a little bit about her store so I'll let you read it.
www.burnlounge.com/bbbeats is an online music store where currently you can download tracks (.99) or albums (starting as low as 7.98). For instance, Beyonce's latest album is available for 9.99 - that's 13 tracks for 9.99 - I know Walmart has it for 11.98. You need Windows Media Player 9.0 to view the site and this download is available for free. You can share up to 10 albums with your family and friends.
So burn songs to your computer and then burn them to a cd - that's a lot cheaper than buying the entire cd in the store. Not to mention, the artists get paid for the music they produce.
Justin Timberlake, Shaq, and MC Lyte to name a few are artists that market their own material on Burnlounge so they keep a greater portion of the money for the art they produce.
Coming soon - version 2.0 which enables movies and ringtones to be downloaded to your computers!

4. Een Mayer Young, Mary Kay Independent Consultant
I can give personal testimony to Een because she is my Mary Kay rep. She is knowledgeable about all her MK products and I have no doubt that one day, we will go riding in her PINK Mary Kay cadillac. So far, I couldn't have asked for a better person to do business with. She sends out the products right away when I order them. So if you are looking to get a new look, go to her website and let her fix you up. Yes, they have MALE products too! Men don't try and fool us, we know yall care about how you look. ;o)

5. Eraina Tinnin, Escentially Eraina
While we are in the mood of improving our looks, we may as well improve our surroundings. Let's go in Escentially Eraina and pick up a few things. Ever wonder how some folks juggle things. Eraina should write a book. She is an entrepreneur, full-time employee, a wife, a mom of two, a sunday school teacher, and my book club president! WHEW! Anyway, Eraina wrote alittle about her business.
eSCENTially eraina is a company that was created with you in mind. We offer handcrafted bath, body and home products at affordable prices. Since products are handcrafted at the time of order you never have to worry about receiving merchandise that has been sitting on a warehouse shelf.
