Did you sing it with me?
On Friday, it was our sixth wedding anniversary. My hubby surprised me with the most amazing set of roses! And he did a lot of manipulating and traveling to make it happen as well!

Over the week, he celebrated it by giving me small things. He gave me this card -

So here's a slideshow

This past weekend, I decided to play with my makeup a tad. So let's start off with the first product review, which is the Raizin blush by MAC.
Now, I've never really been partial to blushes. Not that I love or hate them, but I've been been pretty indifferent to them. It's one of those things I don't have to have in my makeup harmony. But it's okay. I can't
Judging.
Side-Eyeing.
Taking a second look.
Yeah, we've all done it. You see something either in person or online and you take another look at the situation before you pass judgment. When people say they don't judge, bullshit! They do judge! It's how we elect state officials. It's how we test drive cars. It's how we choose schools, either for us or for our children. It's how we decide who we want
This was Bear's first St. Patty's. I almost forgot to take pics of him so I barely remembered later that night.
He was helping me write a novel:
Then I remembered, oh crap! It's St. Patty's Day! It's time for pictures:
I needed him to smile a bit more so I decided to squeeze his cheeks in between shots.
Except he caught me:
And he wouldn't let go:
I finally got the shot I was
So, great news! Big news!
Your girl is going to be at the Mixed Remixed Festival, speaking on a panel regarding Parenting with Difference: Multiracial and Families of Transracial Adoption in Conversation. Isn't that neat? I'm so looking forward to it!
Yeah, I'm that excited!
If you're in the L.A area around June 10-11, come join us at the Mixed Remixed Festival. I'll be speaking on the 11th and Maks and Bear will be there
A few weeks ago, we took a long-awaited trip to see the space shuttle Endeavor at the California Science Center. Can I tell you how wonderfully awesome it is in person?
Growing up, I remember hearing about the space explorations all of the time. I also remember one quite unfortunate moment (which I'll explain later), but I remember being in awe of it all. I credit my husband for bringing out my
So, I have a lot to catch up on this blog. Yeah, believe it or not, despite how often I post, I actually have a bit of a backlog! I guess I'm full of ideas (or full of it, take your pick).
Never mind that! This is a long-awaited video of Bear's shampoo and deep condition routine. I was actually requested this video a while ago but I could never

To be honest, I wanted to use splendiferous in a title for a while now. I'm not trying to show off my SAT score from way back when. I just like unusual words.
Hello family. How are you? I hope you're doing well.
Today, I'm reviewing Carol's Daughter Hair Milk. This is a product that is used to refresh curls, coils, and kinks and
So a few weeks ago I made sweet n' sour chicken. Here are my results:
I used chicken tenders and dipped them in cornstarch and egg. I fried them in coconut oil.
I'm not endorsing any particular coconut oil (I think they're all more or less the same).
Then I combined soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and ketchup for the sauce. For those wondering, this is the part where the Russian of
