It’ s Wonderful Life 🤷🏾‍♀️

2:04 a.m.

8 days until Christmas. Mixed emotions over here. Christmas is my favorite holiday don’t get me wrong, it’s just that along with the joy the spirit of the holiday also includes a host melancholy clouds. The spirit of the this holiday serves as a reminder of loved ones lost. My mom was a huge Christmas enthusiast (especially for her grandchildren). Bells and whistles yada, yada, yada. My sister and I struggled through out the years to keep my mom’s tradition going but have failed miserably.
This Christmas will mark seventeen years since our mother’s passing and I can honestly count on one hand how often we would come together to celebrate. Seriously, one hand.

In eight days we will attempt to rediscover and reunite with our families without the excuses of having to work on said holiday or going to in-laws houses. We will make every effort to preserve this time of the year and create more memories and reveal past ones to our offspring. There will be no certain standard just making the time to be together. I will update you on “ Project Christmas Reconnect 2017” very soon.

I say to each his own. If making bucket lists or FINALLY joining a gym is something you want to do, then do it! If you’ve created a “New Year, New You” list and only have success with one out of forty, than that is an accomplishment in my book. Fresh starts and new beginnings allow us to wipe away the old to ...

Oil Of Olay Total Effects “28 Day” Challenge || Review 👍🏾👎🏾

One of my favorite YouTube influencers announced a challenge to try out the Oil of Olay Total Effects 7 in One Anti Aging Moisturizer last December. I know, I know, I’m kinda late with the review but better late than never, right??? Anyhoo, I decided to take the challenge and purchased my product off of Amazon immediately. I say immediately because for one: it was an immediate reaction to this challenge and two: I had been looking for a decent moisturizer because my skin suffers badly from excessive dryness in the winter. The Summer months? Forget about it. I get severe sunburn on my face and arms and the residual damage lasts well into Winter most times. So, I received my product in three days and only began to apply at night before bedtime. First let’s talk about the texture of the moisturizer. It’s whippy (if that’s even a word) and smooth upon dispensing. The bottle says it’s fragrance free which I take it to mean there aren’t any perfumes added to the product (which is a plu...
