Pockets of Peace

  March of 2020 definitely changed me; I was living on the high of turning 30 when suddenly, things took a wrong turn. Being diagnosed with Coronavirus was possibly one of the scariest times in my life, because I had no clue if I was going to make it. Call it what you want - …

Edge Naturale (review)

  So, I wanted to talk about an amazing product I recently got my hands on. A lot of you know I was very sick in November and diagnosed with large ovarian cysts and fibroids. Little did I know that as a side effect from having such heavy cycles and other issues, my hair would …

Are We there, yet?

2020 has been a complete shit show, I’m sure we’re all aware. Month after month, we’ve dealt with isolation, a deadly virus, a no good “President,” and so much more. I just have to ask, are we there, yet? You know, the point where we come together and acknowledge that mental health is real .... …

INSECURE.

Nobody is perfect, everybody goes through something. This quarantine has definitely made me realize that through all of this isolation, self care is something that needed to be on the forefront of everybody’s mind. Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand that we are in the middle of a pandemic. Thank God I can sit …

AFTERMATH, PART 2.

Recovering from Coronavirus hasn’t been easy. It’s been a lot of tears, stress, and prayer … I was honestly terrified. I think so many people have their misconceptions about the virus, and they don’t really assume it’s as bad as people make it out to be. In fact, the number of people who believe this …

AFTERMATH.

I have Coronavirus .... and I’m in recovery. Listen, when I say the last three weeks have been one of the scariest times of my life, I mean it. Recovery is half the battle. But, I want to share my story with all of you because everything they’re saying on the news is real. I’m …

Changes

I think I wrote this a million times.  In my mind, I kept thinking that nothing less than perfection would even be remotely acceptable; but as of late, I’m learning that pushing myself too hard has serious consequences.  February 24th was one of the scariest days of my life, and I wish I could say …

THE CLOCK

When I was diagnosed with PCOS almost three years ago, I had no idea of the immense effect it would have on my life. There’s this sense of feeling like I’m less than, because my body has so many issues and, unfortunately, I haven’t had the amazing feeling of bringing life into this world, yet. …

Year 30.

I’ve been trying to imagine what this moment would feel like: celebrating my 30th birthday.  Would I see the world differently?  Would I appear ….older? And yet, as I sit here and write this at 1:00 AM (on my birthday), I feel no different than before.  I’m embracing this year of change with welcome arms …

The Final Goodbye

The death of Kobe Bryant is really taking a toll on me.  No, it’s not just about Kobe … it’s about the people aboard that helicopter who, unknowingly, hugged their loved ones one final time.  They woke up that morning with goals to accomplish, dreams to pursue … life to LIVE.  Nobody knows when their …
