To say that we are living in a surreal time is an understatement. Our new normal looks very different than what it did one month ago. Lives have been lost. Routines have been upended and all we can do is follow guidelines and ride the waves so that we can stay safe and keep others…

This last round of dry January made me realize that I wanted to make this not drinking thing stick longer. On Feb 9th, 2020, I made a choice to take a break from drinking. I did have some drinks after Dry January ended, but quickly after, I was done. I wanted this break to be…

When I first set out to write this post, it was going to be all about how our family was doing life long distance because of Coco’s freelance gig. Back in September, Coco got a great opportunity to work out of Manhattan on a project for The Street and Sports Illustrated. He got a call…

It’s hard to believe my abdominoplasty surgery for my diastasic is just two days away and as you can imagine, I’m equally excited and nervous for the procedure. I’m also equally excited for the recovery because it means I have no choice but to rest and literally, Netflix and chill and that sounds like a…

In March 2003, I had a breast reduction. I had just turned 23 years old. Coco and I had been dating for two years, and it was about that time that I decided thet I was done carrying around the weight of my breasts- both literally and figuratively. No woman in my family had unbelievably…

Call it romanticism, call it sheer elegance, call it glamourous. I like to call the organza trend of 2019 (and we will still be seeing it in early 2020), absolutely fabulous! Everywhere you looked, shopped, browsed, there it was- some sort of organza piece begging to be worn and flaunted! I heard you calling, girl,…

I had every intention of working on this blog on Sunday night so I could post it first thing Monday, because you know, the Instagram algorithm and all. That didn’t happen. Instead, I sat on the couch and watched Christmas movies and the rest of Miss Maisel season 3 because I needed a little self-care….

We came. We saw. We baseled, as the kids say. Only I didn’t basel hard. Nope, not at all. I kept it minimal by attending 3-4 events that I wanted to really go to, and that was good enough for me. I escaped on Saturday for a couple of hours to check out the Art…
