True Life: I am a Hairy Beast. We're about to get really personal here. So, you know, don't read if you're not interested in my grooming habits. It isn't just the hair on my head that controls my life--oh, boo, typical brown woman scheduling her life around her...
I did the unthinkable the other day after too much champagne. I mean, I knew it was coming. The first time I saw her, I just knew. Add in the bubbles and I was a goner. I felt like I had dreamed about this moment long before my...
Life is such a funny thing. I've had some of the best news (and purchase) of life this week, only to take one step back and lock myself out of my apartment. I've been writing affirmations to myself in my iPhone reminders that pop up just when...
