This post is sponsored by Anheuser Busch. My girls and I don’t need an excuse to get together and have a drink (or a few, if we’re being honest). Of course, there are the obvious ones: holidays, Beyoncè concerts, viewing parties for reality TV—you name it. But...

Saturday will make it exactly three months since I was laid off. I’m not saying it for pity or sympathy. I’m okay. Really, I promise. In this really weird way, I’ve become whom I wanted to be when I first moved to New York City. I was...

What lipstick and nail polish Kourtney Kardashian wears I met this lady at the Further With Ford Conference. We had breakfast at the same table earlier that day, so when I saw her during a tour of Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant later, I spoke. Nothing serious, small talk. I work at Glam.com. I have a blog I neglect. The usual.
I love this city, I hate it sometimes, too. In an effort to keep track of my feelings about the Big Apple during my time here I try my best to chronicle them in a letter to this crazy place. Welcome to Dear New York–a series posted monthly on the anniversary of the date I moved here.  Stop the Street Harassment "You're really beautiful," my on-camera coach told me as I washed my hands after using the restroom. Our eyes met in the mirror as she finished, "but you must know that." She continued on--stay with me, asking, "where are you from? New York?" "The men must love you there," she said, sure of herself.

I'm serious. Leave me alone. And, shut up.

A couple months ago, I got an email from DeBorah with the subject line Hair Secrets. I'm not going to lie, I was prepared to feel embarrassed before I even read her email. I was ashamed that I still don't know how to master doing my...

I landed in New York City at 6:00 a.m. on Friday morning. On the cab ride from John F. Kennedy International Airport, my driver thought it would be appropriate to talk on the phone, using bluetooth, through the speakers of the car. I heard the entire,...

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'm saying yes to everything this summer. New York in the summer is the absolute best. Once you get past the trash smell that always seems to get in your mouth and your clothing sticking to you while you wait for your train, it's really, a...

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion is legit. Storytime, y'all. On Wednesday it was 50 degrees--or so my iPhone said--but coupled with the fact that there was a 30 degree wind chill and I had to be at Drybar at 8am, I was freezing. I immediately regretted the decision to...
