Lifestyle. Melanin. Me: Off the Beaten Path.
I was watching a TikTok last night where the creator was commenting on the characteristics of people who are gifted and talented, and that sparked a very random but important memory.

Oh. Hi. Yes, it's 2025. Has it been a while since we chatted? Mm hmm. Nevertheless... Thanks for joining me in this odd year. I'm an even number kind of gal but whatevs, right? We're here. Life is the same as it was in 2024: one day at a time. My pup and I are …
Let me tell you what adulting looks like to TSP these days. Spa memberships. When masseuses that had the pleasure of trying to smooth over these decades-long stressed out bones would inform me that I needed to have monthly massages, I would think: uh, where is that money coming from? (Specifically, I would silently nod …
So I've been seeing all the amazing physiques of the Olympiad ladies and maaaaan, let me tell you. I've been fitfluenced. Credit: https://www.threads.net/@blackinformationnetwork/post/C-V0RVvBgXD Like, come on. So I'm realistic with things. I love bread way too much to look that amazing and sinewed.

It's been ages since we last chatted. But this is nothing new over here. We're knee deep into 2024 after the 365 days of January. Did the first month of the year feel like a giant eternity to you, too? How has life been for me so far? It's been interesting. But we will focus …
Describe one habit that brings you joy. I mentioned my new/updated shower routine as one of the things that make me happy. A thousand times yes. Let’s get into this joyful habit. First off, are y’all on TikTok? Because attending classes at TikTok University is how I got into this new routine. The girlies were …
The complimented style in question. Two lovely older friends of mine complimented my hair this week, mentioning how my natural curls and how I styled them made me look more "becoming". I thanked them graciously, because: I agree. I love my natural curls, I love when they're a-flowing, love love love it all. And then …
Did we hang out a lot in 2022? Well, no, we didn't. But you're not that surprised, are you? Because life happens and I stop by here and there when life is not lifing and I want to chat. You still love me. I know you do. TSP will always be my 'lil home, even …
Hey, y’all. Thought I’d pop in—because that’s what we’re doing these days, apparently, based on the last time I visited you here on TSP, but you love me anyway—and give you the official greeting of all fall lovers. And this, too. But, yes, we reached the official start of autumn in September and despite the …
