Will Season 6 of The 100 Finally Get it Right?

Ahh! April 30th can’t come soon enough. Our favorite strong willed juvenile survivors are returning to our television screens to maybe destroy another planet.

Destination Delicious: TerriBerriez Sweet Boutique and Cafe Opening Soon

When Terri Lawson approached me for a logo for her side hustle TerriBerriez Sweet Boutique and Café, I hadn’t seen the destination yet.

The most unsurprising thing is people are shelling out millions of dollars to pay for such things. Sitting back thinking…

24 Things I’ve Accomplished Before 30

I’ve been told that I have so many stories to be so young. I’ve looked to several other bucket lists for things to do before I’m thirty and quickly came to the realization that, “been there done that” is a straight up mood. Observations like this is why I no longer participate in games of…

Four Things to Avoid in Vegas

Las Vegas can be loads of fun for people who do it the right way. I’ve been a few times and I’m always amazed at all the neon lights and people. As someone who briefly lived in New York, I find it comical that their neighborhood New York is way cleaner than the actual New…
