I promise you I don’t watch that much television. (Who has that kind of time?) But when I do, I go in. HAHA! I don’t really diversify that much either. It’s either “This is Us,” a “90 Day Fiancé” franchise or a “The Real Housewives of (insert city)” episode. Do you think there are way too ...
How to Graduate College with No Debt
When you graduate from high school, you can follow three main paths in life: go to school, get a job or enlist in the military. (I guess you could be a mooch too, but… ewww.) I decided to continue my education by going to college. And I did it without going into debt. In fact, the ...
Expating the Right Way
While some people consider the United States of America their dream land, some citizens are ditching it to start life afresh in another country. Those people are called expatriates, or expats—people who decide to move somewhere other than their native country. The move could be for a number of reasons. The top ones I’ve heard are better ...
A Journey of Faith to My Dad’s Funeral
I took a serious blow when my father passed away on June 7. I’ll never forget that day. My sister, my mom and I were literally on the phone when he took his last breath. But after the initial grief and shock, the real work began—planning a funeral in another country. All I can say is ...
The Grieving Process
I’ve experienced death before. My cousin passed away. My aunt passed away. And I’ve had a couple friends pass away as well. But boy does it hit different when it’s a parent. My dad was my first hero. I don’t even have enough room on this entire website to explain how great of a man he ...
Why Some Black People Don’t Trust the Police
I had to take a week off because I needed a mental break. The recent focus of the entire nation being on racial injustice is great, but how we got to this point was traumatic. A young black man was killed by two white men for “suspiciously” running in a neighborhood (#AhmaudArbery), a young black ...
90 Day Fiancé: Love is Apparently Delirious
I try to stay away from TLC’s hit series "90 Day Fiancé," but… psych! When did I try to do that? I love it! HAHA! I already did a review here and here about previous seasons, but this season right here? THIS SEASON RIGHT HERE?! I don’t think I can take any of these couples seriously. ...
Happy (Quarantine) Birthday to Me
I haven’t really celebrated my birthday for the past few years. When it lands during a pregnancy stint or maternity leave, it’s hard to fully enjoy it—at least for me. So when I knew that my birthday would not involve a baby using my body for shelter or food, I was hype! AND it was going ...
Take the Count Your Blessings, Be a Blessing Challenge!
Talk about gloom and doom. Today, the Texas governor announced that schools will remain closed until at least May 4. And then President Trump said that this coronavirus (COVID-19) situation could last in the U.S. until July or August—with up to 240,000 people ultimately succumbing to the disease. Those stories just happened to pop up on ...
Coronavirus Side Effects: May Cause Weight Gain
I can Google with the best of them, but nowhere in my searches about the coronavirus did it say anything about causing weight gain. The only symptoms I knew about were fever, dry cough, tiredness and respiratory problems. If there’s anything this national pandemic and shutdown has taught me, it’s that a little fluff is ...
