Honestly…
Whether you agree or disagree with what you read here, these are just my thoughts and whatever I was feeling at the time. I write to catalog my growth and hold myself accountable. I try to be honest about the good and the bad, More importantly, I was tired of feeling alone. I share my thoughts for those who can’t because I know I’m not alone, so I need you to know that you aren’t alone either.
I write about travel, food and other basic blogger stuff, but if you’re feeling brave… browse my blogs on relationships and personal growth.

My Garra Fish Pedicure by @GarrasLasVegas
Dedicated my last day in Vegas to the spa and started with trying out a pedi at @GarraLasVegas This spot was a lot more fun & low-key than I expected & the fish were as good at their job as they are said to be. The customer service was worth mentioning; The girls who work the spa inject their fun & youthfulness into the business as they prep and inform you about everything you need & want to know. Not only are they kind, but incredibly informed about their job.

Itās so sad that Black women are still looking for role models. Donāt get me wrong, I think Kamala is fantastic. But in a moment of celebration itās also quite telling to see how many little girls felt like āno oneā looked like them before.
