I'm a misfit. I'm different. A peacock among penguins.

Express Bartender Certificate – Oluwatobi Olofintuyi The link above is my bartending certificate! I’ve achieved #8 on my bucket list! I found this bartending program, called Express Bartender, on Groupon. It was a cheap option that I happened upon and I’m really glad I found it. Not sure what my next bucket list completion will be…look out […]

Today, I ran.

Hey Beautiful People! I ran across this video earlier this evening and I just had to share it with you. Every once in a while, a commercial is released that warms your heart, makes you feel good, and puts a genuine smile on your face. For this holiday season, UPS and Ogilvy teamed up to […]

I’ve been MIA from my blog for a while, but I want to come back! Honestly, most of my writing has been kept in my physical journal, so there hasn’t been much need or desire to type it and share my thoughts with the world wide web. Now that I have renewed motivation to write […]

Maybe because 22 doesn’t sound young anymore. I’m not clinging to my “youth”, and I’m definitely not […]

Last night at church, it was Wave Wednesday. Wave Wednesday’s are special bible study nights that feature a guest teacher/preacher. This Wave Wednesday featured Michael R. Murphy, a pastor from Sydney, Australia who has been in ministry for over 30 years. Btw, my church’s (Wave Church) lead pastor and his family are Australian. The accents […]

I went to a thrift store today…and I got some books! They were only $0.49! I think they all fit into the “Chick Lit” category, but I don’t care, haha. Everybody needs light & cute reading once in a while. Can’t wait to lose myself in some good novels. Btw, I still haven’t read Americanah […]
