So, a while ago, my husband and I adapted a vegetarian lifestyle for 30 days. While we're not vegetarian or vegan, the experiment did have a permanent impact on our lives. For one, we definitely don't consume as much red meat as before. Two, we're

Growing up, I can remember the first time I heard about a mass shooting. I was already in college when Columbine happened. My roommate and I, with our friends and neighbors, were gathered around her small TV in our dorm room and we watched the news with horrifying expressions. We
It's funny how life can sometimes do a complete 180.
You never quite know where you'll finally end up. You don't know the many twists and turns life will take you. Something you once thought was in the bag, may not be so secure, after all. Life is funny that way. No matter how much you use your planner, how predictable and mundane your routine is, you can never be
I decide to switch up the vegan posts a little but venturing outside of my comfort zone and going to a vegan restaurant. I've been to vegan restaurants before and I've enjoyed them. However, vegan restaurants can often be a hit or miss. Some have their flavoring down to a science and some should pick up a seasoning book, but I digress.
So, I've heard a lot about one of
I really don't talk about my family for a variety of reasons. Mainly because there isn't that much to say. I'm the youngest of four, have two parents, and several nephews with one lone niece.
Over the weekend, my father was honored as a Civil Servant for the annual Black History Gala in Palm Springs, my hometown. My dad and I have had a very complicated relationship which I'll talk
Who said I was sane???? LMAO. No seriously, as I began this serious journey, I decided early on, “I’m a brand. You will find me everywhere with my ideas on everything. Like Kim K, without the porn tape and cosmetic work done on her, but more talent."
For this week's Mommy interview, I spoke with one of my oldest and closest friends, Ricci Bester-Adams. It's difficult to describe Ricci without
Honestly, y'all ain't gon' do that to the Queen.
As I watched her Golden Globes speech last night, I was enthralled. I was hyped. I had tears in my eyes. It was powerful. It was awe-inspiring. It was everything.

And of course, the internet started to get hype with the loud musical chorus of 'She Should Run for President!' followed by a choreographed number of, 'She Can Save Us!'
Now, the
At least for me.
I've never really been keen on doing yearlong resolutions I'll make either on December 31st or first thing when I'm kinda awake, kinda sober, kinda coherent on January 1st.
And I'm supposed to keep these resolutions all freakin' year??
It's not that it's impossible; anything's possible if you put your mind to it. But let's keep it one hundred for a moment - do you honestly believe you're
So, there's been a plethora of fires lately here in Southern Cali. And, it's very unusual for fires this time. Our fire "season" is usually from late summer to late fall, ending in early to mid November. Having fires in December is very rare.
And very scary.
We live near a wooded area. We're actually surrounded by dry brush, so the thought of going up in flames at any given moment
So, I recently read this book and I have to tell you - it was absolutely amazing!
It's about a young girl, Starr, who was a firsthand witness to the police shooting/killing of her friend, Khalil, who was unarmed.
It was a riveting first-person account of how living in the 'hood can affect people of all walks of life. While the premise of the story is BLM-centered, I also feel it's
