Becoming the Boss of Me: How I escaped the 9 to 5
I loved doing my job. But I hated the office environment & office politics so much that I spent years saving money & “scheming” a way out of it. :o) Next year will mark TEN years of me not working a 9 to 5. Of not physically being in any office. Meaning, no office gossip or other BS I don’t miss. Call me the weirdo nerd, but people socialized SO much at work that it...

This post was created from a spontaneous Twitter rant. I saw the (above) young brother’s video and even though I’ve heard it all before-it started a fire!

Air Jordans or Money for College?
Or their first car? Down payment on a house?
The biggest problem I have with expensive sneaker culture is rapid disposability. You buy the shoes, but they’re “out of style” in 3-6 months!

*from a spontaneous tweet rant* :o)
I’m almost hesitant to say anything about this cause there is so much willful ignorance regarding haircare — so this is take it or leave it
Got an email the other day from someone who has been using a latest fad hair regimen that involves among many things, not washing your hair for a month. And using certain combinations of “natural”...
