Bye bye rough feet!

Y’all. Since forever I’ve blamed my callused feet on wearing heels. Since I’ve been barefoot for nearly 2 years, I’ve learned that’s a lie. I just have rough feet I guess! I get monthly pedicures and even pay extra for callus removal, but nothing ever quite gets them 100% smooth which is annoying! Plus hubby’s... Continue Reading →

North Carolina’s Crystal Coast: You must see it!

To say that I love the beach is an understatement. If I had a gazillion dollars, I'm quite sure I'd buy one of those gigantic beachfront mansions to call home. Since I'm not a gazillionaire, I have to settle for getting to the beach as often as we can. Last weekend, we took our first... Continue Reading →

Fun times in Hilton Head

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! And as a skincare junkie, I've tried everything and I'm extremely frustrated at this point. But, alas, and... Continue Reading →

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. Last week while at Aldi wandering around the aisles, I picked up a chili seasoning packet and all the ingredients needed to make chili.... Continue Reading →

Empty jar report: gleamin

To know me is to know that I'm a beauty product junkie, and especially when it comes to masks. I'm always trying something new, and if it promises to help treat hyperpigmentation, I'm all in! One of the latest I've tried is by gleamin. It's a tumeric mask that has other good skin stuff in... Continue Reading →

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 →
