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

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
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!

Going back to basics.
I began my natural hair journey back in 2014. After the birth of Bear, I was doing fine for a while with my hair until the natural postpartum shedding occurred. And I was no prepared for the amount of hair loss I had. So I decided to cut it all off!
And then I grew it out!
And then I got a bored so I
I normally don't like to use 'investment' and 'luxury handbag' in the same sentence. I guess some bags could be seen as investments if you plan to keep them forever. I have a few low-level luxury items (Coach), and a couple of higher-end ones (Louis Vuitton).
Now I have a new baby to my collection: Teflar.
Created by designer Teflar Clemens, the Teflar bag is considered to the 'Bushwick
I type this post every year, but every year it rings true: your New Year's resolutions are trash. Basura caliente.
I'm not going to rehash what I literally wrote just a year ago, but I will emphasize why everyone should do quarterly goals instead a year-long resolution.
Quarterly goals makes you work smarter, not harder. You have 90 days to get your act together and not a day more.
Tis the season to blow money....fa la la la la la la la...
With #blacklivesmatter being prominent this year and the protests have significantly slowed down, the support of the Black community is stronger than ever.
It doesn't mean #blacklivesmatter was only a summer thing; it's everyday life. Here are some Black-owned brands I have personally patronized and can say it with my whole chest you need to support. Let's
Seven years ago, Bear was born a week before Maks's birthday. They never really celebrated their birthdays together but we've always honored them.
I like to take the time to reflect on my family. I don't really speak on my family very much on the blog, but I'm so appreciative of them. This year has really taught me what is important and what isn't. Just being so close
I need to preface by saying we don't got it like that. Therefore, don't ask for money.
Backstory: We had a leased 2017 Kia Sorento, fully-loaded. Y'all...I loved that car. Loved it, loved it, loved it. We wanted to buy it and were serious about purchasing it. When we inquired about it the first time, the sales people at a local Kia told us it wouldn't make sense from
