Trust me, you’re beautiful
I think I might have a five head. You know when your forehead is too big to be called a forehead? I first heard this term when someone used it when talking about the beauty that is Tyra Banks. Anyway, I looked at a couple pictures of myself and realized I might have one too. […] Read more…

My husband and I have some shows that we watch together. They’re not exactly appointment viewing but we don’t watch them without each other. The top two for us are 9-1-1 and Godfather of Harlem. As much as I love both of those shows they can be a bit much for me. I’m way too […] Read more…
