2021 is in full swing and if you’ve thought about upgrading your living space, you aren’t alone. According to a survey of 2,000 homeowners by online interior design company Modsy, the pandemic made 60% of respondents realize their homes were disorganized, and 77% were so stressed by their at-home surroundings that they undertook their own

When I think about the Super Bowl, two things come to mind: funny commercials and tasty snacks. If you’re preparing Super Bowl treats for your family this year, the name of the game (pun intended) is to offer a spread of snacks loaded with proteins and vitamins that will keep everyone’s energy levels up the

Black-owned beauty brands get a bad reputation for only catering to women of color, but while this is the case for some, it doesn’t ring true for many. In fact, many brands cater to all skin and hair types. Just ask Gwen Jimmere, the CEO and founder of Naturalicious, a hair care brand that empowers

Washing and folding clothing can be such a drag. It’s seems like the cycle never ends. Whenever I’m in the thick of doing laundry I often ask myself, “would I be inspired to clean if my area was more organized?” Perhaps I would fold faster if the room were brighter. Or maybe I would be

Lingerie, in general, is hard to buy. Did you know that 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra size? Plus, there could be stress about your new body shape or worrying about which color to pick only to realize when you try it on, the set is nothing like you imagined. Add in a

When it comes to activewear, it’s important for women to wear pieces that make them confident and comfortable. That’s why Athleta is extending it’s sizing to 1X-3X (or sizes 18-26) to 350 styles across its collection. For Spring 2021, 70% of the Athleta collection will be available in sizes 1X-3X, which is a major move

At 12 p.m. today, Kamala Devi Harris officially became the first female, first Black vice president of the United States of America and Jill Biden is the country’s newest first lady.

Making the decision about having a second baby or not, is one of the major decisions you will make in your lifetime. There is no right or wrong answer, and there are many variables that play a part in the decision making process. The answer to the question of whether to have a second baby has

You should know that I’m not a car person. I can’t identify cars by their logo, make or model. So please don’t ask. For me, a car is simply a tool to get me from point A to point B. Nothing more, nothing less. That was the case until I met the 2021 Volvo XC

So you finally bought that air fryer you’ve been eyeing for months. Doesn’t it feel good to enjoy the taste and texture of all your favorite fried foods without the guilt? I’ve been there and the fried food guilt is real. Why are all the fatty foods so delicious? I’m using a bunch of cooking

Purple. Pink. Blue. If it sounds more like the colors found on your floor after a colorful art project than a hair color you would try, you might need to change your thinking. Or at the very least, understand that those hair colors might be your new norm. For decades, moms have shied away from

Whether you’re a fan of Valentine’s Day or not (who really needs the pressure?) one thing is clear: The treats are out of this world and kids love them. Every year you can expect a roundup of the usual suspects—chocolate covered pretzels, pink cupcakes and sugar cookies—and while they are loved and adored, there are

Pregnancy can be a very stressful time in your life, and that stress is usually not good for you or your baby. If you’ve been feeling stressed during your pregnancy, here are nine ways that you can destress. 1. Work remotely If it’s possible in your profession, see if you can work remotely. Although working

We all have our own individual style and our homes are the perfect place to express that creativity. If you’ve been in the slump a bit because you haven’t decorated your space the way you want, take the new year as an opportunity to upgrade. “Redesigning your home is an exciting process, and breathing new

Did you know that pampering yourself is the best way to recharge from nurturing others? The best part is, you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars or hours of time away from your bundle of joy to do so. Your home is your sanctuary—the sacred place where you unwind and let go of the

We’ve been inundated with so many reboots over the past couple of decades that we rarely get excited when one of our old favorite TV shows gets the reboot treatment. The bright side of those managed expectations is that when something brought back to life actually works, it’s a lovely surprise. This is the situation

2021 is finally here, and if you’re like me you’re trying to find small ways to improve your long, hard days. I’ve found that making small beauty upgrades makes me feel beautiful, and at times even productive. If I don’t do anything for myself for the day (because you know, kids rule my life), I’m

HBO Max’s Love Life became one of my favorite new series of 2020; though it looked to be a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy, it defied these expectations. Anna Kendrick plays Darby in the anthology series (meaning season one is Darby’s story of her growing up and eventually finding the one, while subsequent seasons will follow different

There is a great shopping debate around how much true maternity wear you need to purchase for the short-lived pregnancy. And while there are strategic ways to shop non-maternity items that will flex with your changing shape, a handful of maternity brands are worthy of adding to your wardrobe for the duration of your journey.

Full House was one of the first TV shows I felt connected to, where I really cared about the characters. Every Friday evening, in preparation for ABC’s TGIF, my parents placed a blank videotape in our VHS recorder to tape the new episode. In a world pre on-demand and streaming platforms, the only way I
