A few weeks ago, I was wrapping up a week of travel. It had been a long week on my last night I got up at 1:27am and then failed to nod off the rest of the night. Of course, that means that I threw my morning workout plan out the window when the birds […]
Joan and I were looking forward to this weekend to have all our favorite vendors in one place so that we could stock up on our favorite, home grown natural hair and beauty products.

A penny for how many times I heard these words when I visited Zanzibar. Hakuna Matata Ya Zanzibar. Its a beautiful island where the anthem is no worries and relax. When we visited in August, the weather was beautiful. Probably just over 28 degrees, so it was nice enough to walk around and sit by […]
