Why Do We Feel Guilty Taking Care of Ourselves?

  So, many years ago, my mother went out shopping during the holiday season. While she was out, she decided she was going to buy a Louis Vuitton. So she did. At the time, the bag cost around $300 (same bag now costs around $970.00) and my mother had several young children at home (me included). It was a splurge. Did she feel guilt? Absolutely not. She proudly wore the bag

Biracial Hair Care: Shea Moisture Kids' Detangler

It's been a while since we've done a biracial hair care review so let's jump right in it!I recently purchased Shea Moisture's detangler spray for Bear. I'm a huge fan of Shea Moisture and own and tried just about everything they have! Seriously. I went from being on the fence to being a bonafide fangirl of theirs. (Cantu and Camille Rose are also others I stan for.) Now we know

Why My Son Has His Own IG Page

Bear's IG is @bogdanbear[/caption] There's often a debate on how much a child should be exposed on the world wide innanets when he has no say in that exposure.

Behind the Scenes with the Hubby

I don't often talk about what my husband does on here. A few know he's a photographer but I don't think you've actually seen him in action. He recently did a photoshoot with a family friend of ours, the wonderful and beautiful Cristal Aguirre, and she did a vlog of it. Go check it out!

Russian Soul Sunday: Omelette Bites

Originally, I was going to make waffles. Then it occurred to me I had no flour. So, it was morning and no breakfast options...what's a girl to do? Google. Google it all. Google everything. I came across this recipe and thought, hey, this is super cool. I had just about all of the ingredients at home and it was super easy (and quick) to do. I used sausage instead of bacon and

#ThrowbackThursday: Us

It's kinda rare I post a pic of Maks and I on here. I don't know why that is. Heh. I'll start now, though. This was taken after we went to Taste of Soul LA back in 2015. It was our first time there and we've made it a mini-tradition to go every year despite the crowds. And why yes, that is a sleeping Bear on Daddy's chest. All you see

Russian Soul Wednesday: Slow Cooker Honey Teriyaki Chicken

Yes, I understand that teriyaki chicken isn't a recipe that's considered Russian, Ukrainian or soul food. Yes, I know this. However, this a recipe you should try! I have to admit, the salt content of it was a bit too much for my taste (mostly because of the soy sauce) but overall, it was a great recipe! I paired it with chow mien and the combination was amazeballs! The recipe is
