Hello? Is Anyone There?

3 April, 20231

Can you believe I pay for this site to be up monthly while going years without posting any content? I don't even know who I am talking to because I'm not sure if anyone is still subscribed to this blog. The reason why I came here to write is simply that I have no one to talk to. Well, let me clarify, I have no one I can talk to about my problems that are not going to A. be solution-oriented when I'm not ready, B. FEEL a certain way about my thoughts, or C. be disappointed at what I'm about to tell Read more [...]

First Time Mommy Chronicles: Losing Baby Fat

27 August, 20180

Three weeks, two mom boobs, and one fupa later, I am standing in the mirror looking at my new body. We are so pressured to snap back. There are a million articles on how to "lose weight fast after your baby", that women are not healing properly. Granted I have always been a bigger girl. But If you know me, you know something I'm extremely proud of is the fact that I lost over 80lbs before and swore to myself I would never see 275 on any scale again. Although I had gained some of my weight back before Read more [...]

One Week Postpartum: I Underestimated Everything

18 August, 20180

I have been trying to write this blog all week and haven't found a way to organize my words yet so you're just going to have to take this verbal diarrhea and process it how you see fit. I read an article from xonecole where Cardi B says she Underestimated being a mommy. She goes on to state that she even dropped out of the Bruno Mars tour because she wasn't physically ready nor [emotionally] ready to leave her baby behind. The article goes on to mention other celeb moms who struggled with postpartum Read more [...]

Death & Delivery: My Nightmare

30 July, 20180

One thing we do not like to talk about as a society and understandably so is death. We are super desensitized by it, especially in this social media age. People post, re-post, tweet,  and retweet videos of people dying everyday. However, we still as a whole do not like to talk about it. If you even began to speak about it people will say "don't speak that over your life", "why are you so morbid", "why would you put that out in the universe". We don't want to think about our loved one dying or taking Read more [...]

I Hate Being Pregnant

18 May, 20182

If you know me, you know that I can be a bit of a brat. I love my freedom, sushi, a good cocktail, and of course travel. However; this isn’t me saying that I’m upset about not being able to go to Bali this winter, or the fact that I can’t even take the edge off my day by having cocktails and sushi with friends. This is me stating that: Every pregnancy is different, and every woman has the GOD GIVEN right to experience it differently. For the women who are unable to have children, or who struggles Read more [...]

I Think I’ve Found The “Flu Shot” For Heartbreak

27 June, 20170

There are so many blogs, podcast, songs, and books that talk about love. They give advice from how to fall in love to how to get over a heartbreak. It's not the advice that I have a problem with, it's how it's given, like they have found the cure. None of it works. Let me say it again: NONE OF IT WORKS! If it worked, if there was a "cure" for love, everyone would be drinking the KoolAid.

Love to me is like the Flu. You have flu shots for preventative measures and you have medicine for healing. Read more [...]

Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, but Words Can Destroy

24 February, 20170

It's not often that I say my Parents "Taught" me something that was wrong. For the most part, if anything, my parents definitely taught me the right way to live, they just might have not SHOWN me the correct way all the time. As I was eating lunch I saw a group of kids playing. The way they were speaking to each other was painful. They were so young and yet they spewed out so much negativity and hatred for each other. I thought to myself, "Some of these words will have a lasting effect on some of Read more [...]

If Looks Could Kill, What Kind of Murderer Would You Be?

19 April, 20160

Typically, when someone says "If Looks Could Kill," they are talking about someone's physical attributes. That perfectly created masterpiece of a human specimen is so mesmerizing, that their looks could literally stop our hearts. However, there are so many other looks that could kill in a far more painful way. Here are three that I thought of. Could you think of more?

Disappointment:
Here I was in the fifth grade, "bushy-tailed and bright eyed" as they say, and his name was Andre. Copper toned Read more [...]
