(FYI, for all of the men that follow this blog, you might want to sit this one out. Or, show it to a lady in your life who still gets her cycles.)
So, keeping up with my tradition of reviewing not just vegan restaurants, but also vegan products, I decided to also review sanitary napkins aka menstrual pads. (Disclaimer: I don't wear tampons so I can't give a review on

So, a while back ago...like last month (really, my bad), I was sent some material to personally review. I like to give a personal shout-out to Marc for being patient with me as I reviewed these. I'll leave the video I did with Bear at the end of this post, but I like to talk about the potty packs themselves.

A few weeks I received my latest Shea Moisture box and I have to say I liked this box a bit more than other ones. Now, it's not to say the other boxes weren't great, but I felt this one was more catered to having a small child in my care, than a baby. I also found a lot of great uses for it as an adult!
Enough babbling, let's
It's like Christmas in every box.
So, over the weekend, I recently received a new Shea Moisture box. As I did the last box, I will do a full review of the contents inside with the pros and cons. Ready? Let's go!
This Shea Moisture box was catered more to wellness and had a lot of products dedicated specifically for that. Bear just happened to be sick so this box was
This year, I've shopped from a few of Black-owned businesses online. There are actually a ton of businesses and this link is a good resource to check them out. Just click on their name to check out their website/store.
Let's get into the ones I've purchased from:
Blk Proverbs:
I follow her on Tumblr and she's a riot! I love her store as well. And I'm so grateful for my mug!
KaAn's Designs:
I really
I'm a little behind on my product reviews so I'm back at it! Let's goooooooo!
I've meant to try Oyin Handmade for a long while and I've heard rave reviews about them. Since my hair is often dry as the Sahara, I needed a fix.
Consistency:
Thick and smooth. It might be too thick. It takes a lot to squeeze it out.
Smell:
Buttercream and pastries. It smells hella sweet so if you have
So, I've been frequenting Etsy a lot lately. To be honest, I haven't really been on the site since I was planning for my wedding several years ago but recently, it's been calling me.
I like to get the quirky and cute to decorate my home. Or should be honest and say decorate as much as I can. It's hard to do a lot of decoration with an active toddler.

The excitement is kinda gone.
It's been so long since we've TTC'd that I truly forgot how emotionally exhausting it is.
Last cycle was a blow to us since we thought it was going to be our month. Even my pregnancy tests were, I feel, inconclusive. Not stark white negative but something was kinda there almost positive. As we all know, almost doesn't count.
So here we are, gearing up for

To vlog or not to vlog...
I've been going back and forth if I want to do this. It has nothing to do with valuing privacy or selling my family out. Let's be clear, if I vlog, it'll be primarily Bear and I featured (M. works full-time so he won't be available). I started looking up some prominent YouTube families to kinda get a feel of what they do

Mother's Day has a new meaning for me. Not necessarily a happy one.
Last year, it was supposed to be my first Mother's Day with a newborn. That didn't happen. Instead, it was my first Mother's Day and I didn't have a baby to show for it. I vividly recall I spent my day in hiding, away from phone and any social media. I didn't want to be flooded with
