Hey Ladies!

Sorry about the lack of updates. There are some really good reasons why HerDailyFix hasn’t been functional and the last thing posted was over a month ago. Sad, I know. But besides getting some amazing new additions to the site..a new fashion and style contributor, exciting new interviews, and more personal and relevant posts,  HDF is moving to New York!  I’m sure I’ll be inspired by all the city has to offer. I hope to bring something fresh to HDF in 2012..and consistently! I promise.

Happy Holidays!

With Love,

While recently watching the movie Something Borrowed starring Kate Hudson, I couldn’t help but watch in awe as one friend secretly dated her best friend’s fiancé behind her back. While I get the writers’ point of attempting to make a romantic chick flick (and in their defense it was actually a cute movie), I immediately knew that the two writers of the movie weren’t aware, or didn’t care, about the girlfriend codes.

While one of my friends suggested that the characters in the film, and presumably the writers, lacked a bit of melanin to their skin that might possibly excuse them from understanding the codes, I was still shocked that any close friend, no matter what color or ethnic background, would find it acceptable to date a friend’s fiancé and automatically expect forgiveness from her hurt homie.

The girlfriend codes, although unspoken, are those ultimate no-no’s and the most important musts that are required amongst girlfriends; and while each friendship has its own custom set of unspoken rules, most girls would agree on these six specific codes.

Tyler Perry’s infamous fictitious couple from hell, Marcus and Angela, are back; but this time it’s not in a “Why Did I Get Married?” sequel. Tasha Smith, who plays Angela, has been on the promotion trail as she, Michael Jai White (Marcus),  Tyler Perry and the other cast members are gearing up for the upcoming TBS sitcom ‘For Better or Worse’, written, directed, and probably starring non-other than Tyler Perry.

The cast members stopped by the Museum Bar in Atlanta last night to give fans a sneak preview of the show. The show is centered around the same premise of ‘Why Did I Get Married’ featuring both Marcus and Angela while also following the lives of their friends.  

After looking at the sneak preview, I will admit I am sort of looking forward to it. Initially I thought it would be strictly a silly comedy with Angela nagging Marcus all the time and that’s it; but after seeing the preview it really highlights some real relationship stuff and a couple who love each other but can’t trust or seem to get it right. Of course it still has some of the silliness that some people hate about Tyler Perry movies and films but I say at least give it a shot.

The show premieres on TBS, November 25, 9PM est. Check out the drama-filled preview when you READ MORE.

Drake has released a new track featuring Rihanna. A mid-tempo song about loving someone who has been hurt, the track will be released under Drake’s album, also title “Take Care of Me” (Novemeber 15). 

 I’m kind of on the fence with the song. It’s not bad it’s just one of those songs that possibly has to grow on me. I do like the words, though. Check it after when you READ MORE.

I’ve been slacking on keeping up with new music lately; so I hadn’t heard of Elle Varner until last night while watching Black Girls Rock on BET. Immediately I fell in love with her energy and eclectic music style.  The LA born singer  who is signed to RCA/J Records, graduated from NYU’s Clive Davis Program of Recorded Music. Her style is kind of funky yet soulful. Her debut song, “Only Wanna Give It To You” hit mainstream airwaves in mid-August.

So check out her video featuring J.Cole, if you haven’t already and tell me what you think.

Mya who has somewhere around six pets, ran for her love of animals this past weekend. On yesterday, the Grammy-Award winning singer participated in the North Shore Animal League Pre-Race Rally in New York to raise money for life saving efforts for animals.

Although I don’t claim to be the biggest animal lover, I do have a fond place for them in my heart because of my Yorkie, King. So kudos to Mya.

 Check out pics of Mya when you READ MORE. Plus Pics of Tracee Ellis Ross looking her usual fab self at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
