Cleaning out my closet, so I decided to share some of what I found.
I know that everyone has had that conversation with friends, or whoever, and to paraphrase “if I could do it over again!” phrase comes up.

Just because she can light up a crowded room, doesn’t mean she’s not broken. Just because she wears a smile on her face doesn’t mean she’s not damaged.

Vegas was over a month ago and I’m already ready to go on another trip. People need vacations. In March, I was feeling so drained, with work, school, and mommy duties. It seemed like I never had a moment to myself. So, I kind of put it out there on Snapchat that I wanted to [...]

The dancers had to opportunity to perform before the Bulls vs. Celtics game. I could tell that all their practice and hard work paid off because [...]
I was forced to go out during Thanksgiving break because one of my friends had purchased the tickets to a birthday party. But I actually ended up enjoying myself. One of my classmates, from high school, threw himself a party for his birthday with a special guest Lil Durk. I wasn’t that enthused to go [...]
Every year the Horace Mann All Class Alumni weekend falls on or around my birthday. Besides the fact that my mom is the President of the committee and I participate in the events to support her. Several of my close friends went to Horace Mann so for the past several years we've been going together [...]
Can you believe that Trap Karaoke came back to Chicago twice in one year. What is Trap Karaoke? It is what is sounds like, Karaoke with trap music. The first time that Trap Karaoke was in town I did not find out about it in time to attend. I was really bummed because it seemed [...]
