Is 2020 over yet, are we at the end of the rollercoaster ride? The death of influential people and loved ones, Covid-19, being stuck in quarantine, murder hornets, protesting police brutality, wildfires, the election. This year has been so tough, especially if you’re black. Being an African American, the senseless killings of my brothers and sisters by the hands of racist police have taken a toll on me mentally. With that said, I do know that I am tired; the black community is tired. Today I want to share 10 things to do when you don’t feel like doing anything for those of us who are just tired.
Read MoreAs Black History Month is coming to an end, it’s important to remember that black history is every month. So let’s continue to celebrate black history and support all the black creators that are making a difference in the world.

Read MoreIf you’ve been noticing, I haven’t been posting much on social media lately. Especially on Instagram, the leading social platform I use daily. I haven’t posted on my feed in a few weeks now. I’ve been posting in my Instastories from time to time to let you know I’m still alive, haha. Just in case you were wondering, I wanted to share why I’ve been cutting down my social media time. I posted that I was close to reaching 30 minutes a day on Instagram, which is huge for me, haha. However, I still felt like it wasn’t enough.

Today, I’m sharing with you 15 books I plan to read or listen to this year. Last year, my reading goal was 24, which I did not reach since I DNF(did not finish) a lot of books(reached it if I included the books I read to my daughter, haha). Plus, I’m also trying to write a novel. So, for this year, I cut my reading goal down to 15.
Read MoreIt’s that time of year again. Time to bring in the new year. First, I want to say that I am so grateful to be alive to see the year 2020. Usually, I write a post on what my goals for the new year are and reflecting on what goals I achieved in the last year. This post will be a little different. Mainly because the year 2019 was a year of reflecting in itself, and even though I’m thankful for achieving the goals I did last year, I don’t want to review them. 2019 seemed as if it was a grace period before 2020, I guess that is the best way to put it. I’m hoping 2020 is more active, but for it to be more dynamic, it starts with me, right? The problem is, how does a person who is forever stuck in their mind, get into action?
Read MoreCan’t be a beauty queen with a slack skincare routine! I’ve shared with you that I struggle with combination skin before. I have a dry spot on my cheek; it popped up when I was pregnant, and I have been struggling with it going away since. Those of you who have been pregnant before can understand how multiple things can change while pregnant; one of those is our skin.
