2021: The Year in Review
2020 was the pandemic year and 2021 was the year of living in the “new normal,” whatever the hell that is. I will say, that this year was all about renewal. I was pretty optimistic at the start of the year because while 2020 was such a terrible year for most people, it wasn’t so… Continue reading

5th Wedding Anniversary at Hilton Hotel Sun Valley Resort
Oh hey! We just got back from a proper weekend getaway. I think this was the first time we went on a break since we had our first child and that’s over 3 years ago! We had an amazing time, the Hilton Hotel Sun Valley Resort was very consistent in terms of their customer service.… Continue reading

5th Wedding Anniversary Celebration
Y’all! Can you believe it’s been five years since #JT111216? I can’t either and the husband felt the same. I’ll be honest with you, I had very little enthusiasm for a grand celebration because we’re in the middle of the pandemic and I still feel bummed out over Rocky canceled first birthday celebration. I was… Continue reading

Getting Serious About Staying Fit
I don’t talk about fitness often but going to the gym is a huge part of my everyday. I go to the gym at least 3 times a week, usually 4 times if my schedule allows. I’ve been going on and off to the gym since I was 16-17 years old, can you believe that?… Continue reading

A Look Back: Life can Get Better
It can get better. This post is simply to remind myself that I have come so far. I’m writing this because I just blogged about launching a new business and one of my old posts showed up below it, I Just Missed the Noise. Curious about what I was missing, I clicked and it took… Continue reading

Two years ago, I started a new business, which I fondly call, my “little candy store”. If you know what I sell then you’ll see how candy fits to describe the… Continue reading

Rocky Turns 1!
My number 2 just turned number 1! We celebrated Rocky’s first birthday at home. We had a fabulous family-only party planned at the Hilton but the venue canceled on us a week or so before his birthday because of health restrictions. You can imagine how absolutely crestfallen we were. We wanted to celebrate his birthday… Continue reading

4 Hours Later… New Hair, Who Dis?
It took a good 3-4 hours but I finally had my hair straightened. It was an ordeal, let me tell you. And my hair was so fragile, it almost burned too. Here’s a picture of me all smiles while my hair is being treated: … and after: I get my hair straightened every damn year… Continue reading

… So I Chopped My Locks Short Again
After my last pregnancy, my hair starting falling in clumps. I have super-mega-thick tresses so the hair fall didn’t really bother me a bit. What bothered me was the texture of my hair. It became brittle, coarse… and curly? Here’s the thing, I had wavy hair back in the day but never curly. I had… Continue reading

Starting a Zoya Nailpolish Collection
My website feels a little abandoned, isn’t it? I know I definitely disappeared for months but don’t worry, I’m still here! I got a bit busier the past few months because I just had a baby (Rocky’s almost 10 months old!) and am managing a couple of family businesses with the hubs. That, and I… Continue reading
