Blog You Later
My peoples! So usually, I go on a blogging hiatus once a year to be lazy recharge and refresh. Now is that time. As you’ve probably noticed, in the past 2 weeks I’ve only blogged like 5 times, so I already unofficially kinda started being a blog bum. But my hiatus means I probably won’t [...]

When the day of the Academy Awards arrived, Afrobella and I got up super early so our glam squad could come through and make us look like princesses. And they REALLY did.

Journey to the Academy Awards: My Epic Oscar Day Recap
This post is coming so late because I haven’t known how to recap the most EPIC weekend of my life thus far. This whole thing has seemed surreal since I found out I’d be going to the Academy Awards, but experiencing it felt even crazier. Half the time, I couldn’t believe I was there, so [...]
My 5 Favorite Celebrities I Met Outside of the Red Carpet in Los Angeles

I’m Obsessed With Pinterest! Get Me Help
Seriously. Pinterest has been the best time-waster to happen to me since Words with Friends, which I had to quit because I tweeted my screename, got 25 game requests and my app went “NAWL!” Some of you are probably like “What’s Pinterest?” It’s this website where you get to create boards and “pin” things to [...]

New Year’s Resolutions I Should Make But Probably Won’t
Happy New Year, peoples! It’s a new year and new opportunity to get my life right. Although technically, every day should be a chance for self-improvement.
