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!

JUNE 24TH FOR THE 26TH TIME

"This year I turn 26, damn it seem it came so quick. My ass and legs have gotten thick." Those are words from the great Erykah Badu. I tweaked the age a little bit. Man, I can really relate to that line. If you didn`t know, I celebrated my 26th birthday on June 24, 2015. Every birthday that I`ve ever had, I`ve looked forward to. I planned parties, organized trips, time off from work, etc. But this birthday was different. It didn`t feel the same this year. Usually, I`m anticipating the 24th. "What am I gonna wear?", "I need to loose some weight!", "I need home girl to take my shift!" Nope. Not this year. I was in the airport traveling for work because I. NEED. MONEY. I spent the months before planning new insurance and thinking about how I`m only 4 years away from 30. I can`t even click the 18-25 age group on job applications now. I`m starting to think about stability and stuff. All the bagels and sandwich breads are going to my hips. I`m attrac...

BLACK AND CAREFREE

"While ya'll being distracted by this, look what's happening over here..." Ya'll know exactly who those types of people are on your friends list, don't you? You can't share a few funny memes, indulge in a hot topic discussion or post pictures of your lit brunch without somebody saying "Some of ya'll black folks be worried about the wrong thing!" And yes, some black folks ARE worried about the wrong thing BUT some black folks can worry about more than one thing at once. I mean damn, don't ya'll want a break sometimes? Photo: My Mama. Today's topic is on being BLACK AND CAREFREE . I wanted to make some heart warming post about black folks being able to be happy even in the face of adversity. Being able have joy and be aware at the same time. I had all intentions of posting photos of myself and my friends full of smiles. Making jokes about being black, educated and well spoken but being able to turn that off to be b...

SWIPE RIGHT FOR THE ONE TIME

" I need a date for Valentine's Day " or " Another Valentine's Day...Alone ." or " 2 more weeks til Valentine's Day, who's gonna be my date ?" First of all, why have we been stressing about this day since the end of December? Secondly, I need a "pre-date" before I go out with you on Valentine's Day. What if you end up being crazy? What if you're boring and I don't like you? Then when we go out, I end up seeing the guy that I really like. Now I gotta peace you out. You ain't about to mess up a potential marriage for me. Hell. As crazy as this may sound to you, I never really saw Valentine's Day as a day to be miserable and in my feelings about the man who's not here rubbing my feet. I do that on Tuesdays. I remember being a little girl seeing my daddy walk through the door with balloons, flowers, cards, teddy bears, candies and cakes for me and my mother every Valentine's Day. We could always expect ...
