When Your Brother is Trash

It's taken me a long time to come to this conclusion but I have to call trash when I see it. This past week, I made a trip to Palm Springs to help out my parents as my mother recovered from a Covid-19 symptom procedure. While I was in Palm Springs, my brother and his youngest son came over. Long story short, my brother wanted me to watch his

It’s Our Dating Anniversary!

It was our dating anniversary on July 25th. This is not to be confused with our wedding anniversary on March 25th. Yeah, crazy about the dates, but it makes sense to us. 13 years is a very long time to be with someone. I honestly feel anything after 5 years is a commitment and anything after 10 is an investment. I'm lucky we have a lot of couple friends

Journals and Coloring Books for Sale!

Yes, that's right! I finally created my own journal and coloring books for you to use! This is a passion project of mine so I truly hope you support! When I was going through a lot of stress last year, I found a lot of comfort in coloring books. I hope my coloring book will give you as much joy and comfort as it did for me. :) Mandala

Is the New Space Jam Worth Watching?

So, I have a confession of sorts: I'm a huge Michael Jordan fan. I love him and plan to my name my future unborn kid (boy or girl) after him. Yet, I've never seen the original Space Jam. Like ever. Recently, we've been bombarded with a ton of ads about the new Space Jam. Now, I'm not a big fan of remaking any movie, TV show, song, etc. I

When They Have Terms & Conditions*

Last year was a bit of an awakening for me. I learned the uncomfortable way that white people really don’t go hard for civil rights and human rights like they claim they do. Many would love to say and brag they would’ve been on the bridge with Dr. King. They would’ve openly had Black friends back then. They love to paint a picture of themselves in a White Savior

Why I Got the J&J Vaccine

I should start off by saying I did get the vaccine several months ago and well before the news of the very small percentage of blood clotting in some patients. I live in an ethnic neighborhood - mostly Black and Latino. While Pasadena's Covid rates haven't been spectacularly high, because we are in L.A. County, we were grouped along with everyone else. It sucked because what would be going

Our 11th Wedding Anniversary!

So, yeah, 11 years ago...we did a thing. It's so crazy looking back and seeing I've been married for 11 years. While our big 10-year anniversary was more or less a dud to due to coronavirus, this year has been significantly better. There's still a lot we really can't do, but the optimism in the air is much stronger than it was last year around this time. I'm glad I

Sushi turns 10!

The original Queen Diva herself, Sushi, just turned 10. She's my longest cat I've had to date, and just a joy. She was a rescue cat from our local animal shelter. She's helped us in so many ways and we're ever-so thankful for her. I'll do another post on how to maintain a clean and cat-smell-free home, but for now, I just want to celebrate our girl! Sushi as
