Erin Braxton has spent most of her life perfecting the art of shopping. Along the way, she developed a soft spot for pajamas and loungewear. But whenever she went shopping to update her loungewear collection, she noticed an annoyingly consistent trend: sexy and comfy do not coexist.



Comfortable pieces are boxy, shapeless and hide the body. Sexy pieces are often complicated, difficult to put on (let alone take off!), and physically constricting. Erin wondered why women had to accept this compromise. Why can’t women be sexy and comfortable at the same time? Yes, women want to look beautiful for themselves and for their significant other. But why sacrifice personal comfort for that special someone’s attention? The truth is, a woman is sexiest when she’s comfortable in her own skin.



This is when Erin vowed to change the age-old ‘comfy-or-sexy’ ultimatum. She put pencil to paper, and found the middle ground between flannel jammies and lacy teddies. In 2003, she founded Erin Braxton, LLC and created a line of loungewear and sleepwear that truly understands what women are looking for – comfort, fashion-conscious style, sexiness and durability. The Erin Braxton luxury boutique line is a new option for women - soft, breathable cotton and modal loungewear in chic designs and colors that are trendy in the bedroom, and luxuriously comfortable just lounging around the house or running around town. Her line is currently sold in spas, resorts and specialty boutiques across the country.

What are your saving and investing habits teaching your children about money?



In Japan when a child is born, an account is started for that child's grandchild. In America when a child is born, we buy a few bibs, some Pampers and throw a party: all things that are disposable and, unlike a financial legacy, are momentary and fleeting.



What do you want your financial legacy to be?

We're picking up where we left off on our last show. Join co-hosts Lisa Maria Carroll and Kim Crouch, along with their guest panelists, Nathan Wilson and Andre Weir, as they continue to discuss the gold digger theory and what white women know that black women don't.

She's the woman you want to hate, but can't. And now Lisa Maria Carroll is going to tell you why. In her soon-to-be-released book, Confessions of a Gold Digger, this single mom of four proclaims that she's proud to be a gold digger. She shares with you why she gets the men that single women can't, and also tells women how to play their position--any position--and win, how to use their Money Maker to get anything they want from a man, and what white women know that black women don't.



Join her, along with her co-host, Kim Crouch, and guest panelists, Nathan Wilson and Andre Weir, as they discuss the gold digger theory, and why most people have it all wrong.

Larry Cheatham is a resident of St. Louis Missouri where he has spent almost 20 years serving his community in fire suppression. He operates a successful real estate holdings company in Texas called Xavier Business Group which focuses on undervalued properties around the Country. Mr. Cheatham believes in investment choices that limit exposure to risk while providing maximum profit potential.



Mr. Cheatham has long been a believer in network or referral based marketing as one such investment, and despite the sometimes misunderstood history of the industry, it is primed for an explosion. Mr. Cheatham's initial exposure to the Multi-level industry left some doubt as to the merits of such enterprises. But after twenty years of studying best-selling authors like Robert Kiyosaki and wealth moguls like J. Paul Getty, Mr. Cheatham discovered the keys to success in the industry.
