#61: HELP! This 9 to 5 Life is Not for Me!

I thank God for blessing with employment so that I can keep a roof over my head and food on the table. The last thing I need are comments saying that I'm ungrateful and how there are so many people in America that don't have a job.

#59: From Unfiltered to #FLAWLESS: The Deception of Social Media

It's no secret that most bloggers use editing software to make their pictures more appealing for their readers. I, myself, use picmonkey.com for the usual resizing, cropping and occasional increasing of exposure.

#56: Facial Moisturizers for Oily Skin

This oil is higher in linoleic acid than oleic acid, a plus for those of us with oily skin. However, with these cold, winter days my skin can take a beating and become more dry in some areas

#55: Taboo Tuesday: I Don't Mind a Lil' Heat Damage

I love my Natural hair, but my texture is sensitive. The slightest bit of heat, whether it be from a blow out or from a press with the use of a flat iron, can alter my texture.

#50: Date Night in JAX: Two Movies and a Budweiser Brewery Tour

While I have traditional weekends, Saturdays and Sundays, the husband has Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays off from work. Usually this works out to where we have one day off together, but during high peak times, i.e. holiday season, Ryan has to go into the office on Saturdays. Not the dream for newlyweds.
