It's Mother Earth's Day, Treat Yourself to Some Clean, Green, Black-Owned Beauty
Happy Earth Day, y’all! It is on this sunny (well, sunny in Brooklyn, at least) day that we honor our mother—by going to plant a tree, frolic in a park, that sort of thing. However, if you’re not trying to do those things, there are still ways to support the environment—and a few Black-owned businesses…

22 Days of Eating Like Beyoncé, Days 21 & 22: A 'Slutty Vegan' Is Likely the Only Kind of Vegan I Want to Be
Yesterday was Beyoncé’s 38th birthday, y’all…and today is blessedly the day I officially give up trying to do anything with the Virgo-fueled laser focus of Beyoncé. (Fun fact: My mom and sister are also Virgos, and each could’ve told you it was likely never gonna happen for my easily distracted Aries behind, anyway…ooh, shiny!) The…

I am not a breakfast person. I readily accept that it’s the most important meal of the day (because Michelle Obama told me so), but it’s rarely one I’m inclined to eat first thing in the morning (which the celebrity-endorsed nutritionist I used to see told me is exactly when I should get my metabolism…

22 Days of Eating Like Beyoncé, Day 16: Yes, I Can Cook, Too
You know, I saw this whole thing going differently in my mind. I had visions of puttering around my kitchen every weekend, spatula in hand, hair wrapped and apron around my waist, whipping up savory vegan dishes the way I have many a Sunday roast chicken dinner or Thanksgiving feast, and turning out plates and…

22 Days of Eating Like Beyoncé, Days 14 & 15: Is This Mission Impossible?
Well, I’ve figured out why it’s been so difficult to take off the weight. Over a decade ago, when I was a freewheeling and high-earning New York City girl (with a much higher metabolism) living off of takeout four to five days a week (and leftovers the other two to three), my mother blessed me…
