There’s so much going on in the world today, from disgraceful politics to natural disasters. So I wanted to escape my day-to-day grind and get somewhere that I was unreachable. Somewhere totally relaxing. No phones, no nightlife, just relaxing and quality time. Airbnb came though for the win. A working farm tucked away in rural…

It’s a Celebration
First things first, RIP Charlie Murphy. Sigh. The good ones really do die young. Second of all, I had a birthday and apparently a blogiversary over the weekend. I cannot believe this slipped my mind… A true testament to how checked out I’ve been lately. All is well, just taking some time to myself (all for…
Holy Water
When I ran into my friend, Monae, at my cousin’s funeral we decided to kick back and reflect after the service. She photographed me. Other than that, I don’t have much to say.

One of the best things I’ve received so far are these PowerBeats2 Wireless headphones. They charge for 15 minutes and have made any commute or workout a breeze. I…
White Hot
Finding an all white ‘fit was quite the challenge. However, I had to find something, because there is guaranteed to be an all white affair every spring or summer. (We know this…)
Happy Hour
I stopped downtown at the Marquee after work for happy hour sponsored by 100.3 The Beat. It was a lot of fun, with Mishelae as the host. I wouldn’t mind swinging by the Marquee next Thursday on the way home from work. The menu, drinks and music was on point. This combo is good for a…
