Since we're limiting travel to drivable trips only, Hilton Head has become a fave beach destination. It's only about a 3.5 hr drive from Charlotte, the beaches are clean and beautiful, and we've been so much that we've gotten to know the island pretty well. The only drawback is the food. We haven't found any... Continue Reading →
An afternoon at Veronét Vineyards
To know me is to know that I love wine! I'm no expert, but I at least know what tastes good. I typically go for sweet and bubbly. A new vineyard opened in 2019 and I have been wanting to go check it out. Hubby and I finally got to go on Saturday. Veronét Vineyards... Continue Reading →
Black women, natural hair, and job interviews
Whoa, I just realized that I haven't posted anything new since December. Clue #1 that things have been a little busy in my world. My time in my current role may be coming to an end, hence I've been interviewing a lot, and why I decided to write this blog! Of all the things there... Continue Reading →
Steam your way to great skin
All I know is, after being stuck in the house for nearly two years has done something to my skin. In all of my adult life, I've never had so many breakouts, rashes, dry skin...you name it!

Ground chicken chili recipe
It's been delayed, but looks like fall has finally arrived in Charlotte! Which means, it's soup season. I guess chili isn't technically soup, but it's soup-like, so it fits the bill.

Well hello there moisturized curls!
I'm always looking for better ways to manage my natural hair. I'm thankful that for the most part my hair is easy to manage. I simply have to wash/detangle once per week, apply product, and sit under a hair dryer for an easy wash & go. A couple weeks ago I decided to try some... Continue Reading →
Vintage Louis from J’Adore Wakefield
I'm not a purse snob. I'll buy any brand if I like it and it doesn't have to be designer. But when I do shop for designer bags, Lous Vuitton is my fave. I'm by no means wealthy, so for me to even purchase one, I have to save my coins. Pre-Covid, my goal was... Continue Reading →
Updated kitchen: Get the look for less
Hey y'all! Forgive me for no new content in a month of Sundays! Things have been a little busy. Started a new job (can't remember if I shared already,) and we've had a couple projects done around the house. Hope everyone's year has been off to a great start. Speaking of projects, the latest was... Continue Reading →
How to make lemon pound cake muffins
To know me is to know that I LOVE lemon flavored anything desserts. Social media algorithms have also figured this out and lemon desserts are always popping up in my feeds. I save them, and make maybe 10% of them. I saved this recipe many months ago, but I decided to make them last weekend.... Continue Reading →
