[pipdig_left][/pipdig_left][pipdig_right] Here we go ya'll. The first of many posts to come about our four-day vacay in Miami, Florida to celebrate Charles's 31st birthday five months after the fact... Which is technically pretty good considering it took me a whole year to finally blog about our ...

Teapot with Infuser Vibes :)
Your girl's got a new tea toy and is nerding out per usual. ^^ Behold. My new little teapot with infuser. Isn't she a beaut? Typically, when making tea, I use tea bags. But lately, I've found myself gravitating towards using loose leaf tea to make a hot cuppa. I have a small infuser I use to ...
Where To Find Michelle and Barack Obama’s Portraits in the National Portrait Gallery

Black Panther For Breakfast & Go Kart Racing For Lunch
What's a girl to do when it's her turn to plan the monthly date with her boo in February? Two words. BLACK PANTHER. When Charles found out I had gotten tickets for opening weekend, he got super excited like a little kid who just found out he was going to Disneyland. Punching the air and ...
Dead Sea Floating In Jordan
[pipdig_left][/pipdig_left] [pipdig_right] When it came to planning out our 48 hour adventure in Jordan, Charles, Tarek and I went with the "work hard, chill hard" approach. Petra and the over 27,000 steps we took to explore the historic site was the "work hard" portion of our trip. The ...
Self Portrait Sunday :: My Perfectious Imperfections
[pipdig_left][/pipdig_left] [pipdig_right] It's a very subjective and constantly evolving thing... A woman's relationship with her body. My body's been through a lot of phases in the past 30 years. Let's see... There was: - my "pre-period' body - my "after period" body - my "super fit ...
