Okay, that title is being hella dramatic but bear with me here.
I get iffy about Mother's Day. I still have a mother here and I'm one myself. But I always feel there's someone missing. For those new to my blog, I lost our first son, Ethan, several years ago due to incompetent cervix and subsequent premature birth. He lived for two hours.
Ever since his untimely passing, I feel a
On our quest on eating healthier and cleaner, I'm trying new foods I haven't even heard of. The risk of being healthier is sometimes taking a plunge into the unknown and trying certain foods and vegetables you wouldn't dream of eating. Why would you eat something you never heard of?
Exactly, you wouldn't. Hell, for the longest time I didn't. Now I'm a bit older and a bit wiser and

My new home project of creating a garden is fully underway. (Click here for a refresher.) Here's an update on how things are coming along:
Here is an updated picture of the small and cozy garden. Let's go by each plant. Construction toys are not included.

I've been meaning to go to DiscoveryCube for a minute. Bear is really into science (yay!) and I like for him to explore everything that it entails. Being a science nerd myself, I love exploring the stars, how things came to be, and why the world is the way it is. It's really fun and I can channel my inner Sheldon Cooper.
I decided to take Bear there during the
I love Fenty Beauty. I can't stop singing its many praises since its release and given I'm a diehard Rihanna stan, I have more reasons to love it. When I heard Rihanna was coming out with a body line under the Fenty brand, I was like, 'Bitch, please take all of my money.'
ALL OF IT.
As an awesome anniversary gift, my husband gifted me the entire 'Beach, Please!' collection, valued
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!
Disclaimer: I am a Shea Moisture Ambassador, so I'm giving honest reviews of this box, regardless of how awesome they are (or how much they suck. I keeps it
