There Is No Such Thing As A Fake Person Can I just say that I am loving this article? What I enjoy so much about reading Thought Catalog is the authors’ insight and no-bullshit approach to writing. They literally write down (eloquently and humorously) their organized thoughts. Funny thing is, I relate so closely to many … Continue reading »

Ratchet Revisited
After last week’s post got the conversation going about the era of “ratchet”, I decided it would be fun to spell out examples of just what “ratchet” looks like and why, based on the original definition, comedically provided by the Hudson brothers. I will continually post that video because my life will never be the … Continue reading »
Standards
“A man who stands for nothing, will fall for anything” –Malcolm X I’ve always been a superfan of this quote because it pretty much explains my entire personality and belief system. I don’t remember my parents specifically saying these words to me when I was a child, but their actions and teachings wholeheartedly supported the … Continue reading »

Ratchet Girl Anthem - Famous for the … Continue reading »
Recipe Wednesday: Tostada Salad
I used to love watching cooking shows as a teenager. This was pre-Comcast of course, as hard as that is to imagine. We had the most basic cable that was offered, meaning it was free. As a child, I was unable to watch t.v. during the week (outrageous, I know), so when I became a teenager … Continue reading »
8 Types of Guys You’ll Date in the Bay Area
“Where are all the normal guys?” Sound familiar? It’s an expression I hear often among both male and females in their lates 20s. They believe that by the time you reach 30, all the good ones are taken. All that’s left are those jaded from previous heartbreak, those engaged in a “playa” lifestyle, or those wrapped … Continue reading »
What They Were Really Thinking: Inauguration Weekend, Meme By Meme
Reblogged from Celebrity News & Style for Black Women: As Beyonce stood radiantly in front of the 2013 Inauguration podium and belted out the national anthem, Senator Schumer watched on in apparent satisfaction. Since we were obsessively overanalyzing every moment of this occasion, we couldn’t help but wonder–what he was thinking? Was he blinded by BaddieBey’s … Continue reading »
Google is the Bomb.com
Has anyone googled today? Since google and I are bff’s, we encounter one another daily. Today, I saw this….. ……and just had to share. Just another reason why Google rocks! Say what you will about our fellow Bay Arean company, but google the search engine (also known as my bff), is the bomb.com. Indeed! Continue reading »
