CUPCAKES ARE SELF CARE

"Yo a** always somewhere eating a cupcake. Why don't you write about that?"
-My loving brother

Y'all, I love sweets. The past couple of weeks, I've been trying to be good to my body, but it's very hard for me to pass up an opportunity to try a new dessert. Especially a cupcake. I don't know what it is. I will take a cupcake over an actual slice of cake any day. I just feel like all cakes tastes better in the cupcake form. And they're just so little and cute! I LOVE little things. Little cakes, little bottles of water, little cans of soda (yes soda, not pop), little bottles of dressing, little babies... just... anything little, okay? Except little money and little men. I'm 5'8. No thanks, homie.

So, one weekend, I was bored and craving a cupcake. It was a nice day so I went out cupcake hopping. I enjoyed myself so much, that I decided to make this a thing and share my experiences with you.

 Cupcake Hopping: Much like club hopping or bar hopping; The act of hitting up 2 or more cupcakeries or bakeries in an effort to taste multiple flavors of cupcakes.

Every time I go home to St. Louis, I ask my brother to grab me a cupcake from this vegan spot by the name of Sweet Art. I first fell in love with their tasty cupcakes, when I bit into one at my niece's birthday party. The cake was so moist and the frosting was smooth and not overly sweet. You know, some frosting be so sweet, it have your teeth saying, "Damn girl, you trying to kill us?"


This past weekend, I had the pleasure of actually going into the restaurant. I told myself that I was going to be good and just get lunch this time. Who was I kidding? I got lunch and dessert! The menu is huge! They have something for everyone (vegan and non vegan), the service is awesome, the ambiance is cool and the art is dope!

Moral of the story is, if you're ever in the St. Louis area, head on over to the south side and check out Sweet Art! I can't get over the 'Kale Yeah Salad' and of course, the 'Salted Caramel' cupcake! Yum!

Oh, and it's black owned, Happy Black Love Month!

The Good Girl

"Wait, am I going to get in trouble if I do that?" I`ve always been that "by the book" type of person. If I didn`t get permission to do it, it`s not happening. Yep, you guessed it, my friends hated me in high school.  I was the one with the curfew at midnight. No, I couldn`t sneak inside of the house because my mother and father were always sitting on the couch in the front room waiting for me to get in. And if I wasn`t home by midnight, I had a five minute grace period before they were blowing up my little flip phone. "Where are you? Do you know what time it is?" "Yes mom, I`m down the street." We were really just getting off of the highway but it was no red lights and my friend had a heavy foot.  *Shout Out to Laster and Sophia Douglas.* I was always the "good girl" and that was NOT a compliment. Being the good girl meant that you were stuck up, weird, boring, funny acting, etc. I`m actually all of those things when I`m hun...

NEW YEAR, FRESH START

"New year, New me." -All of ya'll, every year Well, since we're still in December and on the subject of gifts, let's talk about the gift of a FRESH START . Nah, I'm not talking about you calling your ex back and acting like you weren't trash for the bulk of the year. You need to get left in 2018. I'm talking about truly stepping back, reflecting and taking action in new ways. Now, I know a lot of people roll their eyes when folks start talking about the things that they want to do differently in the new year, how they about to be skinny and how they not bringing all that negative energy into this new chapter. And yea, they might be a little extra with it, but that's the beauty of a reset. Photo: Britney Annice I used to think that New Year's resolutions meant that I had done something wrong and needed to change it. Like this was my time to reflect on my mistakes, my weight, my eating habits, my career and change everything about ...

I'M HELLA BORED: CHANGE OF HABITS

"Ugh, I'm bored." Hey ya'll! Welcome to 2019! I'm so glad that you decided to bring me with you instead of leaving me in the old year with all the people you hate. I know it's the top of the year and most of us are already a few days into our new diet plans. We cold. We mean. And we hungry. But, if you want to see change, you have to make a change, right? Photo: My Mama Change is the one thing that is consistent in our lives. Nothing ever stays the same. For the month of January, I'll be talking to you all about CHANGE . Which can mean a lot of different things for a lot of people. For me, this first week of 2019, it meant boredom . Before Christmas, I promised myself that after I finished my last blog post, I was taking some time to myself. Now, if ya'll follow me on social media, you know I go hard with the self promotion. I'm in ya'll face every. damn. day. And it ain't nothing you can do to stop me because I feel like I ha...
