The touching film, based on a True Story, tells of Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae) and Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer), three extremely brilliant physicists, mathematicians, and engineers who worked at NASA in the 60’s.…

Bomb Book: Ty Alexander’s Things I Wish I Knew Before My Mom Died

My birthday was turned all the way up, so I decided to cool it all the way down this weekend.

I received Ty Alexander’s book “Things I Wish I Knew Before My Mom Died” in the mail, and decided to indulge while burning my new BOMB Figue 15 candle (more on that later).…

So my birthday is Thursday, January 12th!! Yasss, Capricorn Season is here! While my friends are blowing me up, asking about drinks and dinner plans, I am not interested. All I wanna do is…absolutely nothing. I’ve booked myself a sumptuous hotel room and a spa service.
