Sometimes I'm sincere. Othertimes, I'm just an ass.
Since y’all are nosy and I’m tired of people asking me questions, I figured I’d spill the tea and give y’all a little taste of who the mystery woman behind the screen is. Here are 50 questions about me, which I hope will give you a better picture of who I am. If not, oh … View Post

Ify’s Random Thought of the Day: Y’all remember that song by Craig David called “What’s Your Flava”? Lawd only knows how it ended up on my shuffle this morning but there I am at 6:45 AM speeding (aka going 15 mph) down FDR Drive screaming to other drivers, “What’s your flava, tell me what’s your … View Post
It’s hard for me to stomach that we’re already in the second half of 2018. Like y’all, we’re less than 1.5 years away from 2020. That doesn’t even make sense in my mind.

This past week, I was driving home from work and when I pulled up to the front of my house, I couldn’t get out. It had been a long ass day. Everything just seemed to … View Post
Summer has officially hit y’all! Woohoo!! To be completely honest, I’m not sure why I’m acting like I’m really hype for this weather. I hate the heat and to keep it a stack with y’all, I’m convinced the humans roaming NYC do not know the meaning of antiperspirant. Some of you’s really need to do … View Post
