Surviving The Holidays!
With Thanksgiving kicking off the holidays, I figured I would come back to say Happy Holidays! When I took my Hiatus back in October, I did so in the hopes of doing some soul searching.

Let’s get into the purpose of today’s post which is SURVIVING THE HOLIDAYS!!! I would be lying if I said that I didn’t dread the holidays. It was cool for the few years that it was only me, my sister and…

No! You Don’t Know Your Car!
NO! YOU DON’T KNOW YOUR CAR! NO! YOU DON’T KNOW YOUR CAR! And I cannot stress this enough, NO! YOU DON’T KNOW YOUR CAR!!!! I don’t care if you think you’re a Psychic and you’re able to predict the future and tell people what will happen in the next few minutes. You still don’t know your car or that gas tank of yours. YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR CAR! How many of us have that friend that loves to play Russian Roulette with their gas tank? They’ll constantly tell you, “I know my car!” while you sit there calling them all the names in the book. I will never understand…
Fall Self-Care Kit Gift Guide
As we get closer to fall, I start thinking about wearing my Hoodies again (I’ve conveniently added a nice sweater to this Fall Self-Care Kit Gift Guide). I’m ready for COOLER not cold weather. Living in Texas, I just want the sun to stop baking everything it touches. At the same time, I don’t miss the New York Fall where it’s cold and the wind is so strong that it can drag a little person such as myself, into a huge puddle or even in the street. Yes, it gets that real sometimes. Talk about embarrassing! I’m so glad I no longer have those problems. My favorite season used to…

Breastfeeding In Public
NATIONAL BREASTFEEDING MONTH SERIES: BREASTFEEDING IN PUBLIC As I said in my last Post, August is National Breastfeeding Month so I’m going to focus on Breastfeeding in Person, this time. What better way to celebrate it than to talk about my uncomfortable breastfeeding experiences? Everyone always loves to talk about how it benefits the children and all that jazz.
