One Love: An Interview With Cedella Marley
I had the opportunity to interview Bob Marley’s Daughter, Cedella Marley, which was AWESOME by the way! The interview was in conjunction with helping her promote her new children’s book, One Love. The heartwarming and beautifully illustrated picture book tells of a young girl and her parents inspiring neighbors to restore a park in their multi-cultural neighborhood. Based on one of Bob Marley’s most beloved songs, it celebrates his joyful spirit and unforgettable lyrics, bringing them to life for the new generation. I am super excited and grateful to have One Love in our book collection! So. Check out the [...]… Continue Reading
Home Free Shipping: What’s In Your Cart?
I’ve been ordering health and beauty products from Walmart for quite some time now. I usually place an order when I can’t find certain St. Ives products at my local Walmart and I tend to order in multiple quantities. It makes sense since we tend to run out of these products fast, especially lotion and face wash. I default to Walmart.com because their prices are usually low and shipping’s not terribly bad. To make shopping Walmart.com even better, Walmart announced their Home Free shipping service that provides free shipping to home on all apparel and consumables orders over $45. Tens [...]… Continue Reading

On His Way To Pre-school
I never went to pre-school because the school put priority on the children who they thought “needed” it. Weird right? I don’t know what that was all about, but I know that times have changed and I know there are many benefits to attending pre-school even if the child is brilliant. Surviving the real world takes a little more than just being a kid genius. So… we’re currently planning on enrolling Jayden in pre-school early next year. We decided to keep him home during the first semester to clear up his Eczema and work on his diet. Eczema is such [...]… Continue Reading
My Maybelline Silver Diva Runway Makeup Look
One of the things on my life list is to improve my eye makeup techniques. I am a bare faced diva by nature, but I do like adding a natural foundation for a more polished look and a little color to dress up my beady brown eyes. Just a little makeup goes a long way and when I wear it, I look more like a woman and less like a child. Someday I’m sure I’ll want to have that childhood glow back, but now I’m trying to get my grown and sexy on *puckers mouth and bats eyelashes*. Earlier this [...]… Continue Reading

Nice Save is a new application tab on Walmart’s Facebook page that represents Walmart’s commitment to Every Day Low Prices. Each month, Walmart helps its consumers solve a new challenge by connecting them with a community of Facebook fans that have tried-and-true money saving tips.

Some of us Walmart Moms will be hosts of each challenge and Tara of Deal Seeking Mom is up first [...]… Continue Reading
Three Inspiring Jamaican Female Artists
I returned home from Jamaica last Tuesday and I am still reflecting over the fabulous time that I had; the adventure, the laughs, the tears, the inspiration that ensued. I will spare the full nitty gritty and break it all down into a series of post-reflections, but today I want to highlight the lovely female artists I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in the rolling hills. These women inspire me to take my creative works to another level, tap into new genres of creative works even, be free, and also step up my sustainable efforts. These ladies are super talented [...]… Continue Reading
Living The Jetsons Life With Whirlpool Duet
It seems like just yesterday we were setting up our brand new-to-us washer and dryer that we scored from Craigslist. I was an older Kenmore set from around the early 2000′s. Three years ago, we were basking in the glory of our washer and dryer that would enable us to do laundry in the comfort of our home, without having to drive it over to the laundry facility in our, then, apartment complex. For a while, we were washing and hanging our clothes up. The dryer needed another power cord suitable for the outlet in our laundry room. It wasn’t [...]… Continue Reading
