Why You Should Have Self-Care Sundays

Not only is Sunday the start of a new week, but it’s also the sabbath – a term used by many religious communities as a day of rest. Ever since I was a little girl, going to church with my family was a routine thing and something I continue to enjoy to this day. These days, weekend brunch has been added into the mix along with a side of self-care. While self-care is not reserved for Sundays alone, it’s actually not a bad day to make a thing of it. I’ve found it’s an amazing way to prepare for your week. You need this in your life, and if you haven’t been partaking in self-care, check out some of my recommendations below:

·      Brunch
·      Face masks (I highly recommend manuka honey masks. They’re good for the skin.)
·      Naps
·      Uninterrupted family time
·      Fellowship
·      Unplugging 
·      A nice workout 
·      A nice meal (we covered this with brunch, right?)
·      Cozying up with a good book or magazine or both
·      Going for a walk
·      And anything else you have in mind that would make your Self-Care Sunday lovely for you 😊

Have an amazing week and take care of yourself. You’ve earned this!

Dear Young Black Professionals

As you embark on your career, I want you to know some things and stay woke about what you’ll be up against. Please understand that no matter what, you have value, and you matter. Always remember that. As progressive as this world and different workplaces may seem, every workplace has a culture. You’ll be in different places where a lot of people who don’t look like you will be in the room. But know that you belong in those rooms too. Spend some time observing and studying those spaces and learn as much as you can. There will be people you work with who will make presumptions about your competence, education, and ability to fulfill your job duties. There will be more who will think less of you because of the color of your skin and try to disqualify you the moment you make an error, mistake, or ask questions about things you may not understand. This will all feel uncomfortable and you may get insecure, feel like you’re all by yourself, and think you don’t belong there, but ride it out...

The Day I Became A Kidney Donor

About a year ago, I had a dream my dad wanted to talk to our family about something serious. I wasn’t sure what he wanted to discuss, but I knew it was something I needed to prepare myself for. Around the time after I had this dream, I remember stopping by my parents place and sensing something was going on that they weren’t telling me. I tried to dismiss what I’d been feeling, but I couldn’t shake it. Something serious was happening. As I returned to my home after visiting them one day, I was in my kitchen washing dishes when a heaviness hit my heart like nothing I’d ever felt before. Something’s wrong with dad. That’s what that dream was about. God, what’s going on? As I continued washing dishes, I started crying and praying. Then in mid-spring, my dad held an unexpected family meeting that would change all our lives forever. He hesitated at first, and as his voice started cracking and he started crying, he said, “Well, I wanted to talk to ya’ll to tell you that I have kidney disea...

A Taste At Colattao Coffee House

I love checking out new coffee spots. It’s nice to take in a space I haven’t been to before that’s so chill, it makes me want to go back and visit again and again. This is exactly how I felt when I stepped into Colattao Coffee House. The kind customer service, the amazing options, and the aesthetically pleasing décor were everything. The aroma of the freshly grounded coffee beans, along with the sight of their mouth-watering pastries didn’t hurt either. I’ve visited this spot just a few times, and always enjoyed myself, my drinks, and my food. It’s definitely worth the trip. If you’re in the Hampton Roads area and looking for a cool and cozy spot for a solo outing or to meet up with a friend, I highly recommend checking out Colattao Coffee House sometime. You’ll enjoy it!
