Tomato Basil Pasta with Cajun Seared Scallops

Monday I played Chopped because I was too lazy to go to the grocery store. To my surprise, the age-old saying that “there’s food at home,” is actually true. A friend gave me fresh basil and I remembered that I had scallops from Costco in the freezer (I do not have a Costco Membership). A…

& 3 Websites to Get Free Goodies

I don’t curse so free is my favorite four letter “f” word as far as I’m concerned. There’s nothing that’s makes my day better than someone giving me something awesome for the price of nothing. As an optimist, I had to try a few sites and here are three places where you can get hookups…

Happy Mon(Daè)

Monday’s are hard. They are so hard that after spending ten minutes procrastinating in bed about something to wear, I finally got to my bus stop two minutes before the bus came. On the way into work I tripped on an empty plastic bag while I was trying to order my Monday Salted Caramel Mocha….

& Just Throw it in the Bag

Good morning! I’m challenging myself to post at least three times a week and three times in one day won’t count. I also want to post more of my beautiful city on here. Hope everyone is enjoying their Hump Day. Lately I’ve been into Crossbody bags because most of them come medium sized. The larger…

& I Leaped from the iCult & Wandered into the Galaxy

I was faithful to my iPhone for about five years.  You couldn’t tell me that the iPhone wasn’t the best phone on the market. My best friend would tell me otherwise and I never took her serious until the iPhone 6 dropped and I started to question why I was buying the same phone over…

& 31

Dear Self, When you open this in the year 2020 you’ll probably smile amused by 2015 problems. You have a thing for stressing out about small things and hopefully you’ll grow out of that by 30. It’s weird because you also see the bright things in most situations. I may come off as chill but…

& I’ve Always Been a Reader

The thing that attracts me to books is the fact that books have always been there for me. There were times growing up when we had to choose between hot water or electricity and books made life easier. It was amazing that I practically grew up in the library. After school I was hanging out…

& Highlights of My Day

I voted this morning. I did not get a sticker. I wanted a darn sticker! I got a job today and it’s kind of sort of using my degree. I went to Joe’s Crab Shack. Apparently on Tuesdays select drinks and appetizers are $2 I helped my aunt create a resume and apparently that was…

& What’s in My Closet now a Days

  This was a fit I wore to an interview. I didn’t get the job, but I looked and felt fabulous.

Batman Top: $14 Rue21, Ring duo GoJane: $10 Shoes $39  GoJane, Jeans: Rue21…

& So much to do in so little time…

So I’m moving on Sunday. I can’t wait to go back to my old neighborhood and get out of the city. I like living on the outskirts of the city but not in the city. Driving in the city is an effin nightmare. I don’t know where we’re moving yet though. The plan is to…
