And this is Why NASA’s Endeavor is Awesome

A few weeks ago, we took a long-awaited trip to see the space shuttle Endeavor at the California Science Center. Can I tell you how wonderfully awesome it is in person? Growing up, I remember hearing about the space explorations all of the time. I also remember one quite unfortunate moment (which I'll explain later), but I remember being in awe of it all. I credit my husband for bringing out my

Why Bear’s Hair is full of Wonderful

So, I have a lot to catch up on this blog. Yeah, believe it or not, despite how often I post, I actually have a bit of a backlog! I guess I'm full of ideas (or full of it, take your pick). Never mind that! This is a long-awaited video of Bear's shampoo and deep condition routine. I was actually requested this video a while ago but I could never

Hair Milk: Splendiferous Miracle or Full of It?

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="250"] Click on the picture to purchase[/caption] To be honest, I wanted to use splendiferous in a title for a while now. I'm not trying to show off my SAT score from way back when. I just like unusual words. Hello family. How are you? I hope you're doing well. Today, I'm reviewing Carol's Daughter Hair Milk. This is a product that is used to refresh curls, coils, and kinks and

#RussianSoulSunday: Sweet n’ Sour Chicken

So a few weeks ago I made sweet n' sour chicken. Here are my results: I used chicken tenders and dipped them in cornstarch and egg. I fried them in coconut oil. I'm not endorsing any particular coconut oil (I think they're all more or less the same). Then I combined soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and ketchup for the sauce. For those wondering, this is the part where the Russian of

Happy #blackoutday!

#ThrowbackThursday: First Dodgers game

So technically, this was actually our first Dodgers game with Bear. We've gone to many as we live not that far from Dodgers stadium. I just did the big chop so that's why my hair is super short (I love the length of my hair now but man, having the big chop was sooooo convenient for a while! Wash and goooooo!) Standard family pic.

For those new to the blog, I'll share this with you: over four years ago, I lost my firstborn, Ethan, due to incompetent/insufficient cervix. That means, my cervix shortened before term and since Ethan was just a few days short of viability, he couldn't be saved. He lived two hours and peacefully died in my arms with my husband nearby.

NYX’s Black Cherry Tart is full of YASSSSSS!

Let me start this review by stating something that may not be important to you, but it is to me. I have a milk chocolate skin tone. That means I either match or am close to a Hershey bar (I use to match it but now I'm a tad bit lighter than it). I also have gold undertones. That being said, sometimes makeup and/or hairstyles that would look amazing

#TBT – Goofin’ Off

I actually remember this day. Not sure why I was wearing a wig because apparently it was hot enough for Bear to be shirtless. Maybe I was just too lazy to mess with my hair (it happens.) We had fun, tho... You know, people used to tell me how fast it all goes. You're snuggling them one day and you're sending them off to school the next. I never knew exactly
