As I sit and prepare myself for another Monday, I can’t help but consider this week’s projects, important dates, and upcoming events–and now I’m tired before the week begins. Talking with my girlfriends, I know I am not the only one. It made me stop and consider that, many people superimpose responsibilities on themselves, along with the natural prioties that already come with being an…

Honey there’s been, Promotions, Wedding planning, and Government plans- Oh My! 2020 was what it was: a long year of changes, reform, voiced concerns, and hopefully valuable feedback that’ll soon be implemented in this year. My thoughts and prayers are with the families who are still facing hardship due to the pandemic crisi. With only 55 days into it, I’ve learned three valuable lessons thus…

“What all have you got going on?” the EMT asked

I paused and answered, “I’m in school for my Master’s, I am getting married in less than a year, I just started going back to work, and..”

He looked me in the eye and chuckled lightly, “well no wonder”.

What he was referring to is, ‘no wonder I had a panic attack’. At first I did not understand what was happening. It seemed to be a regular…

Families, children, and even pups took to the streets of downtown Cincinnati this past Saturday, in support of the Black Lives Matter Movement and to take a stand against police brutality. This comes only weeks after the murder of Breyona Taylor (03/13/20), an EMT in Louisville, KY and George Floyd(05/25/20), a man in search of a better life and job opportunities in Minneapolis after moving from…

Hey loves, It’s been about a month since Ohio has undergone the “Stay at Home Order” and I’ve been off work (both jobs) and in quarantine with my fiancé . For the most part it has been an interesting experience as I am used to running around. Before everything happened pandemic-wise, I’d be out of my home 10-14 hours a day, occupied with work, errands, and social events.

I’ve done a number of…

Good day Darlings!

I finally completed my copy of Jen Sincero’s You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life. That’s a mouthful. It’s taken me a while. The book itself is about two hundred and fifty pages long. I honestly bought the book about a year and a half ago, totally interested in changing my life, but I guess I had the wrong ‘vibe‘, and not yet…

This past week social media critics were all “abuzz” when People Magazine named R&B singer and father of two, John Legend, The Sexiest Man Alive.

Hold the presses! The internet has been in a tizzy since the latest issue hit the stands.

But why?

I scroll vigorously throughout my Twitter feed seeking the public’s reactions and rolling my eyes in aggravation at the comments (as usual). There was a…

Fall is great for many reasons: Football, Fashion, Haunted houses and Thriller Films!

While snuggling in this season, sit back and relax with a few good horror films you’ve just added to your queue.

The Perfection

A thrilling film streamed on Netflix about two exremely talented musicians with promising futures. The film features actresses Logan Browning (Dear White People) and Allison Williams…

This past Friday my boyfriend and I moved to Cincinnati, OH from Bloomington, IL.

This move has been in the making for over three months now with plenty of bumps along the way.

Luckily, and with lots of leg work, he and I were able to secure jobs and lock down an apartment.

The first couple of months will be the hardest, I’m sure. Fortunately, we are in good spirits and looking forward to all of…

The first time I watched The Lion King, I was about four years old. Legs crossed on the living room floor, eyes wide. I fell in love, with the now, Iconic Disney Musical. Fast forward twenty years later, and it still holds the spot for my number one animated film choice, I know all of the words to every song (and I do sing aloud), it is also the most watched in my Apple Queue.

I must admit, I…
