#ThrowbackThursday: All About that Lemonade

Before Beyonce turned it into a thing, Bear was dropping some science on it: Taken exactly a year ago! It was a pretty hot day in LA and Bear and I just explored Downtown LA before heading home. We enjoyed some pink lemonade at Wetzel's Pretzels before heading home.

Is Bentgo Good to Go for You?

So, I picked up the Bentgo Kids lunch box from Amazon other day. I wanted to pack Bear's lunch in a place where he could easily snack all day when he's at school and is relatively easy for us to clean. I also didn't want a bunch of plastic bags all over the place (really trying to conserve waste). Here's my review: Sturdiness: It's pretty sturdy. It's actually a bit heavy (about

Why is Preparing for Preschool So Damn Expensive?

I think this is the part where having kids starts to get expensive. You see, it's not that expensive in the first couple of years of life, IMO. Diapers and clothing, you can find on sale. Same goes with toys and honestly, babies and toddlers don't need that much. Shoes, that's where they get you because kids are constantly growing and at a rapid rate. When they start school, however...that's when

Is Cantu Amazing For Your Curls?

Cantu Beauty has a new (well, new to me) product in their line that I happily test-drove on Bear's hair. I did use the product on my hair but I don't think I had the same results as his (and when I mean by the same as in my hair still frizzed up pretty bad). Now, I have to say this before you read on, Los Angeles (and pretty much

#ThrowbackThursday: I Rock Rough and Tough with My Afro Puff

[gallery ids="4345,4346" type="rectangular"] Gosh, I don't remember exactly when this was taken other than it was a couple of weeks ago. The day I did a braid-out with no heat (I'm really not a fan of heat and really, really don't want to use heat in the summer if I can avoid it). So yeah..pretty happy at how big my hair is getting. I'm tempted to actually do a blowout to see the

Being a Miser Can Be a Good Thing Sometimes #preschool #lunch

It's funny when you get older, you become a bit more conservative with your funds. I remember the days when I was a college student and I felt I was ballin' with my $10. (Hell, I still feel that way now.) Yet nowadays, with a looming preschool bill coming up, I'm finding different ways to cut back on things I don't really need to do as often as before. Notice

The True Products Will Make You Get Your Life

I'm constantly on the search for new products to try and I love to spotlight Black-owned businesses whenever I can. You know, each one, teach one, buy one, etc. So on IG, I ran across The True Products on WeBuyBlack.com. They're a Black-owned laundry detergent company. I've heard pretty amazing stories about them and since I'm a fan of not using detergent that smells like soap and other sorts of

If I Could Turn Back The Hands of Time

I apologize for the lack of posts. I haven't been on vacation, nor have I been unusually busy. I'll be honest - I've been lazy. Queen Lazy. Lazy rules everything around me, lazy. Mayor of Lazyville.

Why Does This Boy Need So Many Clothes Now?

I'm forever buying Bear clothing. It seems just when I think I'm good for a while (read: a couple of months), it's like, 'Nah, bihhh....you take your ass to Target.' Except it wasn't Target calling me but rather, a different store. As we explored the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza over the weekend, I noticed a great deal at Children's Place. Now, it's not a store I frequent very often. Let me
