Everything I learned I learned in my 20s. Whoever said it was in Kindergarten was high out of their mind on paste. Seriously, look around. How often are you handling a task with the skills you honed in your 20s? All the time! The answers to present dilemmas are locked in our past! And the …
I struggle big time with fully putting myself out there. “Putting out” to me means walking through life with my true self at the helm. (And not the sexual innuendo, although I’ll admit it’s a sweet gimmick to get your attention. Stay with me a moment as I explain…) See, I’m …
Something’s in the air right now! RIGHT?! A sticky sweet something that’s driving everyone insane, wanting to pull their hair-extensions out, quit their corporate jobs, move to a faraway island and marry a local, or simply say “ugh, I’m so over it!” It’s like the whole planet Earth is PMS-ing, and …
Your 20s are humiliating in and of themselves. You’re barely recovering from cystic acne, your parents are still deeply immersed in all of your private affairs, and you’re teetering on that fine line between adulthood and a public facebook page filled with incriminating tags. And while I’d love to recount all the public humiliation I’ve …
Change isn’t easy. It’s not meant to be. Just like working out, without pain there’s no gain. And look, sometimes you have to look at your flabby mid-section and admit you’ve been a little lazy and that your jeans cut into your belly button worse than the hoop you convinced your mom …
Without knowing what we want our lives to look like, we may never see our dreams come true, or our lives change in the ways we pine for. Scary! So what now? I’ll get to that. After I make it relevant to my journey through my painful 20s…. ….see, for …
Have you ever felt trapped by your self? By the bars you’ve grown accustomed to living behind for ages? By the limitations of your self that you’ve come to know so well, embrace as your confidantes, and see as clear as day? Yet somehow now you face them head on. Eye to eye, nose to …
I’ve just returned from 10 days in the most beautiful Caribbean island of Grenada. Tan, toned, but not without a heavy heart. Goodbye’s have never been easy for me. In High School, I’d avoid them completely — you would hardly ever catch me at a yearbook signing or graduation party. In college, I …
I’m gonna get a little personal. See, for as long as I can remember, I’ve been the kind of girl who just ‘went with it.’ I go with the flow! I’m open-minded! Oh, I can figure it all out as I go. Only problem is, this philosophy started biting me in …
Your 20s are hard. You’re a half-human, fumbling your way towards the promise of maturity and wisdom, tracking sh*t through the house because the piles are everywhere, unavoidable. But with every mess I’ve made, I’ve managed to glean a useful nugget for the road. And below are 10 of my favorite gold nuggets, I …
As an amateur dater, I’ve oftentimes found myself in relationships I wasn’t ever supposed to be in from the start. Relationships with men who were not in the least bit compatible with me, but who made my Mom proud, or my best friends super jealous. Relationships with idiot boys who pushed all the wrong buttons, but whom I …
