31 Things Before 31
Y’ALL. I turn 30fun in less than a month. 30 has been good to me. Tumultuous, adventurous, full of love and laughter. Here are 31 more things to accomplish before I turn 31: 1.

Last night at the gym, my male training partner pointed to a guy on TV and said, “how did that guy become the head of a chicken company?” and I said, “he’s an old white guy.” I frequently point out how much easier it is for an old, white guy to succeed at business. This…

It’s more the look than how she looks, but that’s there too: the cheeks, the smile, and you can’t…

On Being a Celeb Feminist
This post is a departure from outfits and shoe picks and faux celeb shenanigans, but it’s important to speak up for yourself, speak out against wrongdoing, and challenge the status quo.
