A year ago, I found myself feeling misplaced. I saw a young, supple face, harassed by breakouts like never before… a head full of healthy, full locs with a personality of their own… glasses that slipped and slid, with a prescription way past expiration. That is not what I had envisioned for my 24-year old self. I was going through a mom crisis of sorts or a quarter life crisis (maybe a bit of both). “It’s not as bad as it seems”, I thought. “It’s only a few simple tasks.” After going back and forth with myself, I asked myself [...]

Jayden’s struggle with Eczema has made me more conscious about the products we choose to use on his body. I am always excited to hear about natural kids products that are free of synthetic ingredients. It’s great to have a variety to choose from. I bumped into the owner of My True Nature on Twitter [...]

I have been trying to make a conscious effort to take care of myself. I’m doing more with my hair, I keep my nails painted, and there are days when I dabble in makeup. I’m cool on jeans/pants, shoes, and bags, but I could use a few more cute tops. But where I’m really hurting is in the cute (grown woman) underwear department. It’s been years and years since I’ve purchased underwear, honestly. I’m still finding pairs still rolled up in tape from college. So the next thing on my self-care list is accumulating some cute underwear so I can [...]

Since I recently wrote about how to conceive a girl, I thought it would be timely to offer a giveaway for some romantic goodies from EdenFantays. EdenFantasys is the only adult shop that I work with and shop from because I just love how organized and tasteful their storefront is. I mean you’re going to see a toy or two upon arrival, but the design is so clean and professional. None of that dark devilish stuff that may shame customers away. EdenFantasys promotes sexual well-being by providing educational video product overviews and reviews (company and user submitted), discussions and articles. [...]

Yesterday, I treated myself to some new nail polish from Walgreens. SinfulColors were on sale fore 99 cents (until 2/18/12)! It felt good to grab a handful and line them up on the counter. My nails were freshly painted, confirming my obsession. Exotic Green, Nail Junkie, Rise and Shine, All About You, Pinky Glitter, Soul Mate, Unicorn Special thanks to Candy Coated Cashmere for posting about the sale! Oh, let me show you what my nails look like today. Zoya Charla, Zoya Tosca (ring finger), topped with Glamorous Cosmetics Party in a Bottle. Julep is this month’s Nails to the [...]

Jayden is my little mini-me. There’s no doubt about it. And the relationship that we have is unique to us, mother and son. He looks just like me as most boys resemble their mothers. My family refers to him as “Little Sheena” and often point out that he even has the same mannerisms as I did when I was his age. The relationship and resemblance between Jayden and I is something that Greg would love to share with his (unconceived) daughter. The Daddy Daughter relationship is so special. It’s one that I wasn’t fortunate enough to have, but I would [...]

Today’s prompt for #febphotoaday is “front door”. I have no words to go along with the photo. I am just typing this little bit so the homepage of my blog doesn’t look funky. Dummy text will fill the rest of this white space. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

. It.got.the.works. I couldn’t stop myself. I’m also importing old posts (I feel like there are missing pieces to the puzzle and I can’t function as a blogger if I don’t import them) so the categories will be all over the place until I delete all of the unnecessary ones. I rewrote my about page too. I’ve been avoiding it for the longest. On another note… this article confirms I have [...]
