Sharing the same boob vision

If you’ve met me in real life or seen photos of me, you know that I have a set of knockers. Yes, I mean boobs. It’s hereditary and my genes gave with two hands of tissue to create mine. Lucky me. My small-chested friends say they’re jealous but really the grass isn’t greener on the [...]

When the last friendship strand snaps

Change is inevitable

When I first started blogging, I could not wait to post. I had so many ideas of things I wanted to write about, share, say, etc. in my head that I could not type fast enough. I was even blogging five days a week when I started. That’s how excited I was to share everything [...]

The weekend of epic food crawls

There is some amazing food in Chicago. Also, the list of places to eat on my fridge is not getting shorter. And with all that good food, sometimes, you find yourself in a food crawl, or two. That is how my weekend went: food, cocktails, more food, beer and then more food. I’ll recount both [...]
