Happy New Year, Sweet Potatoes! I cannot believe that we are in 2016! Like, where on earth did all the time go? I started 2015 as a two-person family, and now, we're a three-person family. That's the summary of my year. Do you make New Year resolutions? I don't. I stopped making them years ago because I never keep them anyway. But I do have many things that I plan to do this year that I have never done before. Igwe and I have a lot of things planned for 2016, and I cannot speak for Read More
For those of you who don't know, lit is what all the cool kids are saying these days. It used to be fleek, but now it's lit. Your game is lit. Your makeup is lit. Your shoes are lit.
