    Magic & Cookie Johnson

    By: Cece Hymes

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Magic and Cookie Johnson. They have been together for 30 plus years. Another power couple in Hollywood.  They met at a college party and have been together since.

    Magic and Cookie have had their ups and downs in their relationship but they stuck together through all the challenges and hurdles. Magic and Cookie have a book about their life. I haven’t gotten a chance to read it yet. It’s a book about how they overcame challenges and kept their love alive.

    Magic has been HIV Positive for years and his wife Cookie didn’t leave him she stuck by him and told him they will get through it and beat it. She stuck by her husband no matter what. I love that they talk to the community about HIV/Aids.

    I have to give them their roses today for not giving up on one another and being each other’s biggest supporter. If you read the book comment below and let me know what you think. I hope this couple will have many more years of happiness and love.

     I love to see couples that are still making it. I love “LOVE”. What is something you would love to share about this couple? Also follow me @Cece.Atl.

    Title: Los Angeles California

    Finally, I was able to go to Los Angeles. Wow what a site to see. I had so much fun. I was able to see so much over there. Let’s start with some of the great sightseeing places they have. First we went to:

    Hollywood Walk of Fame: This was nice. It’s like a strip of stores and the hustle down there is real. Everyone outside with a hustle, selling something trying to get that dollar. I found a couple of names on the stars. Now the traffic is bad, you are moving 5 miles per hour lol. It is the strip but there is a lot to do on the strip. Glad to be able to experience this.

    Santa Monica Pier: Now this was nice also the beach was nice the pier was nice a lot of people. We had to get some funnel cake from there. The hustle was real, there were a lot of people listening to music dancing to the groove. One man was walking and dancing off a song he made about tacos. Now that was funny. The sunset was beautiful.

    In-N-Out Burger: Now the burger was good here they just don’t offer a lot I was still hungry. They only have this place on the west side and had to try it out to see what the hype was all about. I can say I would definitely come back here and get a burger that had a lot of cheese on it. Burgers are good.

    Hollywood Sign: Now this was an experience. We didn’t get all the way to the sign but we got really close. It was nice enough. We always see the sign in the movies so it was exciting to say Hollywood Hollywood. I was glad to experience this and go to this. It is really nice to see at night and how the town lights up.

    Long Beach: When I went to Long beach now we went to Yard House over there, Saw the cruise ship and they have a lot of outlet stores. A lot of nice restaurants and places with patios. They have live bands out there and a lot of bars. This is a nice place to enjoy also.

    Here are just the top 5 places that I enjoyed while I was in LA. Now the 3 hour difference got me some days. I had to get used to that. My trip was great and well worth it. If you have never been to LA the experience is well worth it. Get out, enjoy and see the scenery. I can’t wait to go back. I do know it’s expensive to live there but depending on what you are doing career wise this could be the place for you.
