Hey beauties! I'm back and rejuvenated from a much needed family vacation. There's nothing like a good ole getaway that allows you to release, relax and reflect. And boy did I do some reflecting. And some perfecting. My tan that is. Can we say, melanin poppin'!. LOL. I will never underestimate the power of travel.

I'm so here for the clean lines, the Japanese origami flair and his masterful construction. Who is the van der Kemp woman? He says, "I am trying to reach the customer that desires a more personal, discrete and...

Uncategorized

I've had my share of heath issues---but within recent years, I've been battling weight gain and sporadic digestive issues in particular. As for my weight gain, it's stress related. And nothing soothes my soul when I'm stressed like a good ole meal, Netflix and my sofa. But let me tell it, I had things under control and before I knew it---ten lbs has crept on. Then came the stomach/digestive flare ups. More than likely caused by my diet. So I had to make a change and I started (organic cold pressed) juicing. But here are all the reasons why. 1.
