Someone whom I know to be highly intelligent, and whom I love unconditionally, was pissing me off. I hadn’t seen him for several months, namely since before Michael Brown was killed by Darren Wilson. It’s also worth mentioning that he’s…
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are…
A wonderful way to trim figures is to stay active. My biggest suggestion is to WALK! Park your car a little farther away. Take the stairs. Keep your booty moving because every stride counts and I’m not talking about the…
Now that I’ve been able to start doing more fun and more easy nail art with the generous goodies that Kiss Nails sent to me, I’ve been feeling that it’s time to start doing themes! With the official start of…
In New York City, it seems like on-demand beauty apps are sprouting up left and right. I love the concept of on-demand beauty — what girl wouldn’t want to be pampered at the drop of a hat in the comfort…
It’s the season of celebration. It’s also a great time to refresh your connection with your family, friends, and colleagues. Whether you want Aunt Ruth to know you love her or your high school friend to know you still think…
So honest moment here: Last week I painted my nails three nights in a row. That’s a little excessive, even for me! I was trying to do some pretty nail art, but I just kept messing up. I finally landed…
When it comes to phone cases my need for the best kind of protection has often conflicted with wanting the most stylish one (to my own taste). My fiancé is an OtterBox kind of guy because he believes in the importance of its…
So y’all know I love doing my nails. I also like doing my friends’ nails too, although it can be a bit more challenging since it’s a different angle. Sometimes I think about how, if all else fails, I’ll go…
This is the season of Pumpkin spice lattes, pies, and big Thanksgiving feats!! Which means my dress size is in danger of moving up a size. To preemptively combat this hanus crime against my closet, I’ve decided to challenge myself. You…
The holidays are finally among us. Where are you going? Heading to a holiday party? A dinner with the in-laws? The first time meeting boyfriends’ family? Make-Up Tip: Give yourself extra time, no one needs stress wrinkles 😉 Winter is a great time…
Dolly Parton is a glittering beacon of positivity. A funk-tastic example of how far a lady can go with self-awareness, determination, and the business sense to garner success from her talent. I look like a woman but I think like a…
I’ve been having a crazy crazy month. My saving grace has been rest and proper skin care routines! I love all things natural, the less toxins the better, and SpaDet provides that. It’s been such a pleasure trying out their…
There’s nothing better than discovering, to your own astonishment, what you’re meant to do. It’s like falling in love. Mike Nichols was an extraordinary man with great vision. His talents made him one of the most celebrated directors in both Broadway…
The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. And the first to forget is the happiest. Now how true is that? Life is one heavenly hell of a ride, experiences make us stronger and if you don’t…

It’s that wondrous time of year where families gather and people bundle inside to hide from the oncoming cold. The Starks got one thing right, winter is coming. Our winters may not bring white walkers (ok enough GOT references) but they…
It’s been almost exactly a year since I returned from my month-long trip to Uganda. I’ve been going through the photos I took — you can expect to see many of them soon. My trip to Uganda was such an…
Earlier this year, a diva from the highest of divadry orders passed from this Earthly realm. By “diva” I mean a highly accomplished woman worthy of praise and reverence. Words cannot do justice to the magnitude of Maya Angelou’s life….
