Photo by MART PRODUCTION on Pexels.com After a year of pandemic life, many of us have packed on more pounds than we’d care to admit. It's understandable though. When you’re cooped up in the house day in and day out, it’s hard to resist boredom eating and the comfort of your couch. But summer is… Continue reading 6 Clever Ways to Get More Steps In

Time to celebrate, ladies! You can finally free the nipple....well, to nurse your baby that is. Yes, this week it officially became legal in every US state to breastfeed your child in public.

Like most people, I was completely caught off guard this past Tuesday by the news of Demi Lovato.

The fact that all my aunts, uncles, and cousins lived hours away didn’t… Continue reading Letting go of toxic family members
For a good hour last night, I was on cloud 9. The one and only Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott had actually liked the comment I left on her latest Instagram post. I couldn't believe it!

So, I was thrilled… Continue reading How Missy Elliott can inspire us all to be a little bit kinder today

I recently met this blogger on Twitter, and he invited me to check out his blog. He has some nice articles. As a current student myself, I can really appreciate this article, The Luxury of Studying. I, too, am guilty of feeling the dread of studying, especially the longer I am in school. I have to dig deep to keep myself motivated sometimes.

Freeimages.com/P Beck Time management is no joke! I swear ever since I started back going to school full-time, I feel like I'm always a day late & a dollar short. There's never enough days in the week or hours in the day. I work 3-4 days a week, clocking in 20-26 hours, and I'm taking… Continue reading Just One More Hour Please
