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

My Natural Hair Journey

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

Why You Should Invest in a Teflar Bag

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

How to Set Completely Realistic New Year’s Goals

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.
