I know this isn't the usually vegan and vegetarian fare I like to post on this blog. However, I felt this was healthy enough to still post! And plus, this came out hella good, y'all! I mean hella good! So good, I wish I was eating one right now.
I have to admit there's something about a move that brings out the best in my cooking skills. I guess because
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
I have to admit from the jump, I wasn't sure if any K-beauty products would work for my skin. I'm older (38, I ain't ashamed), still get acnes and blackheads (like wth??), and my skin is either crazy oily or crazy dry. It's like it can't decide what it wants to do and it often feels me like:
Finding a great makeup remover has been quite the challenge, especially when
I have to admit - I was never a fan of cauliflower. Not that it grossed me out (okay, maybe it did) but it wasn't something that was on my go-to to eat as a kid or even when I entered adulthood. Even now, I'm still kinda iffy about cauliflower despite eating it more than I ever have been.
But you can always teach an old dog new tricks, right?

Today, I'm doing an entire product review of the entire contents of the Shea Moisture box I received from them. I'll speak from a mom's perspective but also from my personal one since I also used the same products on me!

No, I'm not planting weed, LOL. I do like the song, though.
Ever since we moved into the duplex, my mind has run wild with the thoughts of having a garden. When I was growing up in Palm Springs, my Granny grew her own vegetables and fruit. I can remember picking figs, oranges, lemons, grapefruits from various trees in the backyard. She even grew hot peppers but I was told
For those who traditionally celebrate, Happy Resurrection Day!
For those who just like the Easter bunny and baskets, I hope you received everything you wanted this year! Bear cashed out:
My longtime friend made this for Bear. Honestly, I went into a sugar overload yesterday. But he liked it a lot, too!
Painting eggs with Daddy.
Emoji eggs!
I'm in the process of making a pot roast for dinner with mashed sweet potatoes and
It's no secret for my love of Shea Moisture on this site. I've been reviewing their products for years now and I've even scolded them when they made a boo-boo. So, I'm super, SUPER jazzed that Bear and I are a part of the 2018 Shea Moisture Ambassador class!
Pretty much like that.
Here's our unboxing video. Please excuse the mess of our home. We're still in the process of unpacking
Sometimes, it's hard to eat your veggies when you simply don't have time to prepare them. While I have been at fault for buying ready-made veggie sides (and really, there's nothing wrong with that because you're still getting your vegetables), I really prefer to use fresh whenever I can.
We were introduced to red chard many years ago when our then-next door neighbor had leftovers of a food delivery service
It's weird looking back at our wedding eight years ago. Originally I wanted to get married in San Francisco at City Hall. I'm still kicking myself that I didn't stick to that plan. That was the original reason why I got married in my favorite color, purple, because I knew it would look great with the gold at S.F. City Hall.
But it didn't happen.
No disappointments because I ultimately got
