I can’t believe I catapulted myself into the limelight in 2013 when I started blogging. What was I thinking? Perhaps FOMO when social media started taking off.

Does anyone else feel a certain emptiness after the holidays? Perhaps it’s the end of the holiday season’s festivities or the beginning of the cold, dreary winter months.

Since that 2021 pledge to buy better, I discovered that you must have Black-owned brands on your holiday shopping list. When one decides to develop a mindful style, these decisions warrant doing homework. Details about […]

It is the perfect time to get all the need-to-know risk factors for Breast Cancer prevention. All women over 40 should get mammograms every year. The Affordable Care Act/Obamacare made provisions […]
September 2022 is history, but it’s worth noting it was Self-Care Awareness Month. A self-maintenance reminder to be true to myself. It’s time for me to reset, recharge, and refocus. Why?
