Happy New Year to you and your family! New Year’s to me is a clean slate. It’s the opportunity to take the lessons that were learned the year prior and apply them to being greater this year! I will spend my day putting together my vision board. After my vision board is complete, I will [...]
I’m over it: the trees and decorations have to go! I’m tired of looking at them and starting to feel like they are just clutter! I don’t like clutter. I hate knickknacks everywhere, it’s time for it to all go. It was cute, but I’m over it. This is the part I really don’t get [...]
Growing up, I really thought it was just me! Not until social media and those Petty Holiday Auntie memes did I understand I was not the only one who hated family get togethers. The great thing about being an adult is you control yourself and your environment. I was born into a very dramatic family. [...]
My mother always did a wonderful job to make sure I saw my face and likeness on the Santas in and outside our house. She painted them! I am so thankful that my daughter was born in a time that is much more inclusive and we have places like the Pottery Barn carrying these beautiful [...]

I’m an East Coast girl. There is something so sexy about the weather change. Sweaters, warm tea, that extra blanket on the bed! Let’s not forget about the sexiness of men in Tim’s and Hoodies on, women in skinny jeans and high boots! Seeing your breath. Deep sigh, I have the biggest smile on my [...]
So, I really thought that I was the only person in the world who has anxiety about giving gifts! I am so OVER it! Like this is supposed to be a fun experience! Although I do not love shopping honestly, I just rather be doing other things. Holidays are not supposed to bring me stress [...]
Happy Halloween! Here's a quick recipe for you to try. Yes, I am one of those people who looks forward to fall all year long because I like all the seasonal pumpkin treats! While I can see Shawn Harrison (My Wally pop) rolling his eyes at me now out of disgust. He hates pumpkin and [...]
It's no secret by now many of you know Shawn hates Pumpkin Spice, but I happen to love it! So, I really enjoy this time of the year. From the lotions to the candles and yummy, warm drinks, I am all about "Pumpkin Spice." I don't understand why so many Black people have a vendetta about [...]
