Last Nite on Bag Ladies Radio OnDemand

Last nite's dish was so sexy, it had us prepping to Barry White which we cue'ed literally during the show. Last nite was an all new "Tales Of Singledom." A recurring segment ever growing in popularity. We kicked things up a notch and the dish got real sexy and a bit racy even!! It was so empowering to join forces with Candace Amos, Founder of CultureBlaze.com, NuNu Fairville who penned an article on CultureBlaze.com which spawned last nite's topic of dish and Shanel of The Sex CEO to lend a voice to sex (yes, I said it), a topic we don't dish on often but a topic that is nonetheless relevant to the reality of life, living and being a woman. It's reality!

We also went in finally regarding Beyonce's chop. Myself and my Co-host's, Trina Small and Danielle Gray weighed in and shared our thoughts as a show-opener. My fave quote from last nite per my Co-host, Danielle Gray "If she could, Jesus would come down from heaven and pluck out her mane." LOL!

I Got A Man!!!

Calm down. I'm still single (ugh) but I did I did score a man to lend a voice to last nite's "Tales Of Singledom". Last nite featured an instant replay of a previously aired live segment with guest, Dating Coach & Essence Relationships Editor, Charreah K. Jackson. It is one of my fave episodes and at this stage in my dating game, I needed a bit of reassurance so I thought it would be helpful to re-air Charreah's expert advice. Sidebar: I found myself taking notes again as if I hadn't ever heard the episode.

I switched things up however and opened the live portion of last nite's show a bit differently. I twisted the arm literally of friend and Bag Ladies Radio supporter, Mr. Gee James. Gee is a Photographer and fellow blogger bud. Gee tweeted a question a day prior asking what a woman should "contribute" on a date and the responses were hilarious and I knew immediately that I had to take the question to air. Thus last nite's dish. I even had Ty Knighten join me to weigh in also. The tone was ...Well, press play and listen for yourself OnDemand.

And not to be forgotten, I had a chance to dish on one my fave topics, fashion with fellow bloggers Yvonne of PinkDollHouse.org and Ashley of AshleyGaGa.com about tonite's DC showing of "Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's."

#BAGLADIESLIVE RECAP: NOW I WANNA TRY ONLINE DATING

Founder of eflirtexpert.com and Author of Love @ First Click, Laurie Davis
This week's #BagLadiesLIVE was an all new #TalesOfSingledom segment featuring eflirtexpert.com founder and Author of Love @ First Click, Laurie Davis. The plethora of online dating sites is so overwhelming and although I know many who have attempted online dating, being single myself, I've never actually tried my hand. And I'm faaaaaaarrr from alone. Per an impromptu Twitter chat, I received alot of feedback. I wanted to break down the basics of:

  • How to find a dating site
  • How to build a profile
  • What types of pics should you use
AND what turned out to be the most profound during last nite's dish ...

  • How do you set your expectations differently when dating online vs. traditionally

Last nite was a "digital dating how-to" and Laurie Davis lent a great voice and dropped tips like:

  • Your profile should read like a story based on you.
  • Share pictures of yourself as well as yourself in action meaning participating in what you like to do (your interests).
  • Understand that your profile is significant so be aware of what you say. It's your first impression.
  • "Keep your emotions in check." If noone responds immediately to your profile, don't take it personally.
  • Remove "rejection" from your vocabulary
  • Ultimately, online dating doesn't guarantee a "love connection." It's a tool and should be treated as such.
Laurie also dropped the address to an online engine she created which you can utilize to navigate the plethora of dating sites and find a match. The process of finding a site can be sooooo tedious and is most times what turns women off before even trying. Laurie has made it easy for us. Visit www.eflirtengine.com. 

I am seriously considering now trying my hand. I ain't having much success in the dating field presently. There's a bit of a shortage of prospects so why not and let the sites do the work for me. I'm terribly busy anyway so online dating seems like a worthy option as far as eliminating the leg work and the guess work in some instances. And since having dished with Laurie, I feel much more "armed and ready." How bout you??

For more on that which you may have missed, catch-up OnDemand. If the show isn't already playing per the playa to your right, visit bagladiesradio.com/listen. Scroll down and press play.

DISH RECAP: FAVE QUOTES FROM LAST NITE'S #TALESOFSINGLEDOM ...



And just when I think I can't be any more vulnerable, candid or transparent when taking dish to the airwaves of Bag Ladies Reality Radio, I surprise myself. 

Last nite's "dish" marked the return of #TalesOfSingledom. A recurring segment based on my life as a single woman. I realized upon introducing #TalesOfSingledom that there are many women who share dating woes and who also seek dating and/or relationship advice. Thus last nite's show tagged as "What's Your "Single" Status?" We sought and welcomed back, Author and Certified Dating and Relationship Coach, Shay "Your Date Diva" Williams of www.lovein30days.com and boy did she brang it! We shared. We testified. We laughed and maybe even cried a bit. I recall passing an e-tissue or two. We approached last nite's show fully prepared to lay it on the line and even as I was fully exposing myself, I felt a total sense of support from not only my listeners but my cast which included my cohost, Trina Smalls of www.thebabyshopaholic.com, my bud Toni of www.tailoredrebels.com and Bag Ladies Contributor, Ro of www.creativelyyoursbyro.com. 

Shay told us about ourselves. Below are some of my fave quotes of the night"

"There is nothing more valuable than love and we should commit to receiving it because we are made to have it."  

"Seeking a relationship/dating coach translates to you being smart enough to seek expert advice." 

"Nature hates voids. You must be ready to fill a void or you will attract another mess." 

The realization that dating has an expiration date just like alot of things was like an "ah-hah" moment. And dishing with Shay served as a reminder that in all aspects of life I should, set my intentions clearly. Define what I want and not settle. We wrapped last nite's show with a heck of a testimony delivered by Trina which was a testament to that although alot of us (myself included), struggle with the challenges of being "out there" on the dating scene as Trina once was, as fast as we are ready to call it quits, your "divine destiny" aka "Mr.", can sweep in and sweep you right off your feet before you even realize it's happening. There is hope.

Did you tune in? What were your fave quotes/moments from last nite's dish?

Connect to Shay Williams and learn more about her latest book, The Value of Your Vagina at www.lovein30days.com. And contact her directly at info@lovein30days.com regarding relationship/dating coaching. It's a smart move!

Weekend Update with Lady Erin ...Series 2, Part 1

Let's try this again ...Shall we? It's a new year! I got some resolutions of my own. Let renewed efforts to maintain this "thang" (thang being mybagladies blog), here and my commitment to do so, commence!

You know "funk" is not just limited to weekdays. "Funk" can be suffered on the weekends too. It's amazing how one can go from being so ecstatic about the coming of the weekend and upon the weekend being here, just being like "ho-hum", what do I do now?  I was childless (Daddy's weekend) so I should've been over the moon but I actually missed them terribly. And I'm single and "dial-a-date" wasn't answering the dial ...#TalesOfSingledom.

For my girls ...
Anyway, it's a blur how I ended up at the mall. A total testament to a true "Shopaholic." You ever set out intending to go one place and then *poof*, you find yourself entering the mall. And intentions were to browse but I fastly found myself engaging in total retail therapy. First stop, Nordstrom's. I stuck solely to the children's section. I snagged a great sale and picked a few pieces for my girls in true #MommyMidday fashion ...Even picking a coral tutu skirt (wish I could fit it), and blazer for my 8 yr. old that will make for a perfect Easter ensemble. I know, proactive like a mo-fo ...Ahead of the curve. I suffered a bit of guilt for not checking the boys section for my son but I had only just hit the Target #Holiday24 collection, now on CLEARANCE for an adorable sweater (Hit me on Instagram for a "look see"). Anyway, from there I stopped in J.Crew to make a return on some pants I purchased online two weeks prior ...They were too cute, pajama style in green with a navy stripe up the side but much more sheer than expected or necessary. As I told the associate behind the counter who asked how dare I return them, "They show much more than anyone needs to see until I reach my 2013 ideal weight goal."

The Limited 917 ...
From there, I dashed into The Limited surprisingly. As much as I used to love The Limited way back when, I'm not as much of a fan presently however, one piece in particular caught my eye and upon trying it on, I realized it was an absolute must-have and even moreso at 40% off! A pleasant surprise. I made my way to checkout only to be distracted by "temptation" yet again. Browsing thru the clearance section, I happened upon a few denim styles from the 917 collection, reduced to a price of 6.99! How could I not and look at that neon stripe. I've rocked them already. The fit wasn't as tapered at the legs as I would've liked so I remedied by cuffing and rolling up to just above my ankle and sporting with a patent grey pump and a fitted sweatshirt. Ow!! That's just the "vain" in me ;-). And might I add that these are some of the most comfy jeans I now own. I also grabbed a cute A-line leopard print dress with 3/4 length sleeves ...On sale too! Do I need another anything leopard??? Uh, absolutely not but when has that ever stopped me?

Check me on Instagram @bagladies for the must-have piece that I scored. I think you will agree ...

#TalesOfSingledom Thoughts ...


"Everything else is seemingly a priority which is totally fine. I just prefer to be a priority along with those other things. I don't require that I be your sole priority but I wanna feel like I'm at least in the running. Humor me." #TalesOfSingledom
