My Self-Tanner Routine

Even though summer is different this year with minimal gatherings, parties, date nights, trips, I still want that bronzed glow.  I wear lots of sunscreen but still enjoy a slight tan when I’m able to get outside (but I’m no longer a sun worshipper like I was in my teens).  But because I’m not lounging […]

The Last Three Books I Read (And Book Suggestions From You By Black Authors)

The Last Three Books I Read (And Book Suggestions From You By Black Authors) It’s actually been kind of tough to read or listen to audiobooks during quarantine.  I thought I’d rifle through so many books but it’s been sort of tough juggling the kids, work, etc.  I also listen to audibles a LOT in […]
