Authentic conversations about culture, motherhood, divorce, black excellence, humor, and style!
This post was otherwise going to be titled, "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sexy Bras." Ladies, get in here, let's talk. The first (and only time) I got my breasts fitted for a bra was several, several years ago at JCPenny. At the time, I was measured for a 38D. I assume I'm still the same size because I have been buying the same size since then, and they usually fit. The times that they don't fit, I assume it's just the cut/fit of that particular bra/brand.

You guys, I really did buy this skirt for Jesus. But let me tell you how it happened. Easter was coming, and I wanted to do something different.

Prior to the decision to incorporate my personal style into the blog, I used to randomly write about style. Usually, it was something funny - like why men shouldn't wear leggings.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay. The opinions and text are all mine. Look, I cannot lie to you. Summer isn't my favorite season. At all. It's too hot. Too humid. And too bright. Up until I came to America, I've always lived in places that had cool temperatures.
