Russian Soul Sunday: Maple Pork Chops and Parmesan Corn on the Cob

Okay, so I'm not entirely sure either recipe would actually be considered soul food (and definitely not Russian food) but when pared together, it's like an orgasm in your mouth, yo. So, I'm not going to be fancy and show you the play-by-play (I think one of the sites I link to does), but I will show you the end results!

My Natural Journey: Why I Decided To Cut Off My Hair…Again.

It's been a wild ride being a member of #teamnatural. First, there is just soooooooo much you can do with your hair. The variety of it is astounding. From protective styles to different ways to wear it, the possibilities are endless. Second, the products. Good Lord, all of the products. If you weren't a product junkie before, you'll surely become one now. And of course, the growth of it all. Many women

When Keeping It Real Goes Stupid

[caption id="attachment_6873" align="alignnone" width="2448"] It was Crazy Hair Day at Bear's school.[/caption] Last week was an unusually trying week for me. It seemed I had a lot of people, both professionally and personally, try me. It all was seemingly under the guise of 'help.' Even when I graciously declined one friend's offer of help, she was insistent that I misunderstood her (I didn't) and she really wanted to help (she wanted

#ThrowbackThursday: We

It's actually one of my favorite pics of all three of us. We were in Chinatown L.A., I think it was for Chinatown Nights back in 2014, I believe. I miss that wig.

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

[caption id="attachment_6707" align="alignnone" width="2448"] Courtesy of me. 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. Some parents are very private with their children and you rarely see a pic of them. Some are like, 'Hey, you want see a picture. I have 19797893423 of them. Here you go!' Some parents

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
