This isn't me. My twists are chunkier, but I'll do my reveal this week. :) Every time it’s time for me to give a hair update, I start dragging my feet. I think psychologically, I don’t want to deal with it. Why? Because I suffered a setback, people! I’ve come leaps and bounds from where I ...
Debunking the Myth of the “S” Word: Submission
In a world in which fewer and fewer curse words are getting censored, there’s apparently one that makes modern women cringe more than any other—submission. Oh, that’s not a curse word? People sure act like it. And they probably act like it is because the connotation of the word has morphed into something so… weak. Let’s ...
Ladies, You Probably Met Your Husband Already
You ever decide to take a break to focus on your health and wellness, and then you look up at the time and realize that eight months have gone by? No? Just me? I will say that I appreciate my true ones, though. I was constantly asked when I’m coming back. I honestly thought it’d be ...
My Last Gift From 2020: A Major Hair Setback
Yeah... all that see-through mess at the bottom actually had hair there seven months ago. Can you believe that we’re only two weeks into 2021? Lawwd…what a difference a couple days make. I don’t know why we think the minute the clock changes from 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 31 to midnight on Jan. 1 is different ...
Bye, 2020! See You All in 2021!
I guess I was so excited about taking a break that I forgot to officially sign off. HAHA! I didn’t mean to leave you all hanging. Apologies. Deuces to 2020! It hasn’t been easy, but it has been a year of faith, strength and growth. In the year 2021, I pray that we all have a fantastic ...
Here We Are Again… Fitness Fail
I know you all are sick of hearing it because I’m sick of saying it over and over again. You think I like to fail multiple times at things? So… I need to get it tight and right again. (Let’s all roll our eyes together on the count of three. ) I’m so sick of being back ...
A Whole Me… Quarantined
The past several days have been crazy. And from reading the title, I bet you can tell why. Your girl got quarantined. Aht! Aht! Before you think that I got the infamous COVID-19, think again. I said quarantined—not isolated. Isolation separates sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick. Quarantine separates and restricts ...
When to Take the Leap into Entrepreneurship
Adulting just gets harder and harder, huh? As if marriage doesn’t already have its occasional challenges, we recently took things a step further and intermingled business with personal. That’s right. My husband and I are business partners. Brandon has been saying he wants to own his own business since I met him. I thought the entrepreneurship bug ...
Is This What Exhaustion Feels Like?
I’m tired. The year 2020 has drained me. It feels like I have so much to do, and I’m not quite doing any of it right. Maybe it’s because of the pandemic. There were a lot of unknowns this year—brought to you by the letter C for coronavirus. From shutdowns to mandatory masks to the leadership at ...
Sorry About What? ‘This is Us’ Season Premiere Packs a Punch
Can I just mention how flawlessly the writers of “This is Us” transitioned from last season into this season while weaving in the current state of events? Coronavirus, Black Lives Matter, mental health, sympathy, empathy, apathy—whoo! All the things were in this season five opener. I was shocked that Kobe Bryant and Chadwick Boseman’s death ...
