Wake up; it’s time to go to work! Just 5 more minutes of sleep, please…It’s going to be a busy day in your world, and you’re not looking forward to running around.  Sound familiar? I have a feeling that we’ve all been there at some point.  Life moves fast and it often seems impossible to get through our entire to do lists in the 24 hours we have... [Read more...]

There are dog people, cat people, and people who don’t really like pets at all (What’s up with them?!).  I fall into the dog people category and I’m proud of it! I wish that I could have a dog in my home but my roommate is dead set against it.  Alas, I have to go on living with her cat who, let’s just say, I’m not a fan of. You’re lucky in... [Read more...]

One thing that I always try to do, especially during the winter months, is to make some type of donation to the homeless shelters around the city. While you're being thankful for what you have, give a little consideration who aren't as lucky as you. The McFarland Community Center in Memphis is striving to make those who are less fortunate than orders have... [Read more...]

It's happened to me multiple times; I buy a handbag that I fell in love with and after a time, it's collecting dust in my closet. I now have a little corner dedicated to old bags and purses in my closet. I never put any thought into doing anything with them as I couldn't throw them away; I paid good money for them! So what do you do when you're in these kind... [Read more...]

Hey fellas! I know that there are certain movies that you can watch a million times in two days and never get tired. I know that whenever a male celebrity's house was featured on MTV's cribs, he had to show his colossal DVD collection, and it had to include 'Scarface'. So tell me, is it a man law to have this in  your possession? Even so, I've stumbled upon... [Read more...]

We've all been there: the messy breakups, the seemingly unending heartbreak. Rough times, man, rough times. These are the moments where  you just want a shoulder to cry on, and an ear to bend.
