We all have heard of the world famous "Sprinkles" cupcakes they are super delicious! The real question is Have you heard of Cupcake Mafia? This line is the most talked about urban street wear brand around. They have the hottest, trendiest T shirts and Hats as well as everything else you could ever want. I got a chance to catch up with the CEO Boss lady herself Mz. Skittlez to find out exactly how her empire came about. She just recently opened a store in ATL this past week and it is already made a noise all over social media. With over 140k followers on Instagram this girl is on the move.

DO YOU SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON CLOTHING OR DO YOU LIKE TO SAVE MONEY IF YOU CAN?
Mz. Skittlez
I am the ultimate saver! Trust me I don't spend unless its absolutely essential. I don't believe in looking like money, I believe in actually having money. This social media world is so superficial and end up having nothing to show for it.
