Drake Needs to Apologize to SA Victims Now

via GIPHY Dear Drake, The odds of you reading this are slim. But this isn't for you; it's for your fans who listen to your music. Specifically, your fans who are sexual assault victims. I'm not going to go back and forth on my feelings on the beef or if I'm a Kendrick fan; neither is relevant here. I want to talk to you about what you said on The

5 Authentic Palestinian/Gaza Charities to Support

Before I begin this post, let me start off by saying I support the children in Gaza. I also believe that if you support Palestine and the Gaza Strip, it doesn't mean you're anti-semitic nor are you anti-Israel. This post is mainly to support those who need it the most in the Gaza Strip. I have my rather controversial views on the recent college campus protests happening here in

This is What 14 Years of Marriage Looks Like!

Today is our 14th wedding anniversary. Crazy, huh? Our wedding was crazy simple - we went down to the Beverly Hills Courthouse with some friends. Other couples were there and I remember it was a rather overcast day, but it became sunnier as they day grew. Our name was called and we got married by a Justice of the Peace. And we were married in five minutes. Sometimes, I

Our Cat, Sushi, Turned 13! Yippee!

This past week, our oldest girl, Sushi, turned 13. Can you believe it?! So crazy. I officially have a senior citizen in my home. It's been such a joy to have Sushi in our house. We call her Ms. Sassafras, Old Bat, Old Girl, and plenty of other nicknames depending on her mood (because you know, that's how cats are!). Still, if it wasn't for Sushi, we probably wouldn't

How I Created Class Valentine’s Packs for Under $30

I know this is a late post, however, I'm a big believer that this is news you can use! Every year that Bear has been in school, be it preschool or elementary, I've made his Valentine's packets. The first year with him being in preschool was rather simple - a candy and maybe a small card attached. I found out as time progressed, there are parents who do the

Happy International Women's Day! To celebrate the best and most courageous women out there, I'm recommending these autobiographies. These are all books I have personally read, devoured, and went back for a second helping. All of these women have gone through it and have come out on the other side shining bright like a diamond. Are you ready? LFG! Becoming by Michelle Obama I think I re-read this book about

The Best Lip Care Products for Your Pout!

I have full lips. It's pretty obvious I do. No, no fillers. No, no injections, neither. Just God. And because I have some serious full lips, I have to take great pains into caring for them. It means a looooooooot of water. Yes, you hydrate from the inside out, ladies (and gents!). It also means I have to buy products for my lips to keep them sexy and smooth.

Best Children’s Books (on Amazon!) by Black Authors

In honor of Black History Month, I'm proud to share with you some of the best children's books by Black authors you can purchase on Amazon. I love children's books from Black authors because I feel they're more catered to us and plus, I'm all about representation. It seems there are more books out than ever and I'm so jazzed about sharing them, along with some personal favorites! LFG! I

Why You Need to Bookmark The Buy Guide

The Buy Guide. It doesn't have a wow ring to it. In fact, it sounds simple as all hell. The Buy Guide? What the hell is that? Is it like Black Friday (it could be). Well, let me school you. The Buy Guide is a comprehensive website that's kinda like Amazon, but maybe a little classier and more niche, IMO. But hey, I love a good deal, even if
