My acne was only skin deep. My skin won’t stop me because I have found something that keeps it away! I know acne is not curable, but it is very treatable. I never had “bad” skin during my teenage years. Of course I had the occasional breakout, but I never really struggled with it. Fast forward to age of 28 when I started trying to get pregnant. My skin was horrible! I felt... Read More »
Recently, I’ve been been searching high and low, trying to find the healthiest very of me. Along with working out every day and trying to eat as clean as I can, my favorite part of this fitness kick I’m on is the yummy protein smoothies I get to indulge in after my intense workouts !! I thought I’d share my favorite smoothie yet, Piña Colada, because it is oh so yummy !! Change i... Read More »
I woke up with a frown on my face. Looked out the window, saw the rain, and questioned what reasoning I had to get out of bed. I sluggishly put on my t-shirt and faded blue jeans. Not caring about what I looked like, I paired my outfit with some broken sandals tied together by a thin black string. I wondered what might be so different about the day when so far, everything was as somber as usual on... Read More »
This is me. This is who I am. I am honest, sometimes to a fault. I am a realist, and I try very very hard (on a daily basis) to understand that there are just some things that I cannot control. From a very early age, I learned that life isn’t fair, you don’t always get what you want, and that people die too soon. Unfortunately, tragedies came to my family all too often and it was diffi...

I’m Stephanie, and I’m maybe-slightly-kind-of addicted to blogging. I don’t need, like, group meetings and an intervention or anything. I just really, really like it. I can quit anytime. I swear! (No, you don’t need to speak with my husband. Let’s just keep this between us. *wink wink*) I started several years ago, have been through three domain names as I finally nar... Read More »
It happens all the time and it pisses me off! People who don’t want to (or shouldn’t be allowed to) get pregnant, do, and those who want to get pregnant, can’t! Why! Why? WHY!? You see people who are unfit to be parents, juggling six kids they can’t afford, and it’s sickening. But yet an educated, mature, couple who are capable and ready to have a baby, can’t. Then there’s this scenario, th... Read More »
I was a first time attendee at BlogU last weekend in Baltimore. When I checked in, the guy at the front desk asked whether I was traveling for business or pleasure and I wasn’t sure what to say— obviously this is all very fun, but I also want to write for a living. I navigated this dichotomy by saying something along the lines of “I’m drunk right now!” Thankfully I’d been driven there by McCall of... Read More »
Yet again, Lebron James is making history in the NBA. James has broken many records such as, being the youngest overall draft pick (age 18), youngest rookie of the year (age 19), and passing the all time great, Michael Jordan’s, record of having 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in 75 playoff games, but he doesn’t take this lightly. In Tuesday’s game against the Detroit Piston... Read More »
