One practical joke goes wrong, TERRIBLY wrong!

Hey Lovies!

It’s December—last month of the year! Yeah, I can’t believe it’s already the end of the year either. I have been kind of overwhelmed the last few months, had a vent filled September and October followed by a work heavy but life light November—so no BOMs. But I’m resurrecting it this month with one of my FAVORITE authors.

Now I know you’re probably thinking the selection will be holiday themed but nope not going to be that predictable. This time I’m choosing a book-to-screen adaptation—a limited series to be exact. Yup, you heard, well read, me right—this month’s book is going to be adapted into a 3-part limited series on Netflix next month!!!

Dear Diary,

What is happening with my life?

I feel like I’m starting and ending, restarting but also recharging; lost but also found.

I’ve been feeling stagnant for awhile now and I’m ready to break the cycle of this rut and be my highest form of self and walk in my essence. But it’s easier said than done and let’s be serious I’ve said this all before . What makes this time different?

Hey Lovies!

It’s that time of year again, my birthday! Ironic enough I usually get a little depressed a few days before my birthday smh. It’s just that each year as I get older I start to reflect on the year I’ve had but also when I get too self critical. I’m always thinking that I should’ve accomplished more than I did or that I’m behind the imaginary tucking timeline of my life. This year I’ve decided to let go of the unrealistic expectations on myself and to embrace my evolution and enjoy the present.

My focus this go round is…

Autumn—the official sponsor of my seasonal cravings, from boots and books to pumpkin everything.

One prophecy, one murder, and one niece racing to solve a mystery before history repeats itself!

Hey Lovies!

It’s September—my birthday month! Yes, I’m a Virgo (duh). You know I love a good book, whether it’s a thriller that keeps me on the edge of my seat, a mystery that makes me put on my investigative hat, a crime story straight out of Law & Order, or a romance that makes my heart swoon. Honestly, I love them all.

Hey Lovies!

The journey of women of color, particularly those of African descent, is a profound narrative of resilience, strength, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity. In a world shaped by intersectional complexities, this post delves into the unique struggles faced by these women as they navigate societal expectations, corporate landscapes, media representations, and the ongoing quest to embrace their natural beauty.

Hey Lovies!

Spent my Sunday at ENVSN Festival in Brooklyn!!!

Sneakers laced, schedule bookmarked—let’s DO this.

June 21, 2025 — Fanatics Fest is FINALLY here! The Javits Center will be a pop-culture mecca for 48 glorious hours and I’m ready to bask in the chaos.

📖 Summer Reading Series: The Danger Family Has Entered My TBR Stack!

Hey Lovies!

This summer, I’m diving into The Danger Family series by Endiya Carter. It’s a three-book series following the drama, desire, and romances within a wealthy African American family who runs a hospitality empire — think luxury, loyalty, and high stakes.

Here’s the tease:
✨ Tempted by Danger — Boss Dymon Danger vs. his irresistible new assistant Quinci and the strict 'No Fraternizing' rule.
✨ Captivated by Danger — Diesel Danger’s ‘god complex’ meets his match in Greysen McCree.
✨ Intrigued by Danger — Declan Danger’s 20-year relationship gets turned upside down by an open relationship request and the alluring Mistress Elle.

I’ll be bingeing this series on Kindle Unlimited, with snacks, a cozy playlist, and the summer sun✨
