A recap of my recent trip to Sandersville, Georgia with my dad, meeting new extended family, Refinery 29’s art installation of sensory overload, meditating on a place of contentment, a season of gratitude and reflection.

Will you be out enjoying the sunshine? At the beach? Grilling out with family and friends? I’ve curated 5 of the the best (in my…
B. Inspired – Peace Along the Path
Happy Friday dear friends. My favorite day of the week by far. Anticipating a well earned weekend is sometimes all I need to get up in the morning. I want to talk about ever-changing journeys and learning to find comfort in the little things. I spoke to my mom recently and expressed how I felt all over…

Friday Feature: Homegrown Taste & Culture
No matter who you are, what culture, race or group you represent, chances are food is a vital part of your everyday routine and often, even part of your cultural identity. I’m a big fan of cooking and baking from scratch. Growing up in the midwest, my mother prepared all of our meals, packed our lunches…
At the Fair!
As the season comes to the end with the final summer holiday of Labor Day, we welcome a renewing of seasons. The Autumn season has finally arrived and I am truly looking forward to this transition. This past weekend, I attended a nostalgic event that brought back so many joyous memories: the State Fair. The North…

In Full Bloom!
Well, it has been quite a ride as we made our way through the New Year, abnormally cold weather, school closings and all sorts of twists and turns! As the weather starts to warm up (fingers crossed) and the plants ever so slightly start to bloom, we should take this time to jump start ourselves….

Dear Loves, Well, it’s that wonderful time of year again. Expressing your deepest thoughts to the one you love can be exhilarating, fun, exciting and sometimes down right nerve-wracking. The build up and anticipation to Valentine’s day can often be overwhelming for people. Men and women alike think, plot, plan what they believe will be…
