Yet She Evolves

I learned about most of these black in inventors in Sunday school as a child. How many did you know?  I’m curious to know who old you were and where you learned this. Leave me a comment because l’m curious! My Linktree

When is it? This year February 22 marks the beginning of the penitential Lenten season. It is most often a time when believers fast until Easter. Per Google, Easter will be April 4th this year. Fasting usually lasts for a total of 6 and a half weeks. Why should you fast? It's more than just having an ash cross on your forehead. It's a time to reconnect to the Highest with your obedience by way of fasting and praying. "Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return." What can you fast? This is totally up to you. Some people might give up coffee, tv, social media, meat, sweets or dairy. I usually give up more than one thing. Over achiever much? Lol! Just remember it is not a competition nor is it about dieting. My Linktree

   Thanks to Leslie Knope, from the TV show Parks and Recreation we have Galentine’s Day. I had no idea this started back in 2010. This day is typically celebrated with your female friends sometime before February 14th. Galentine’s can be a restaurant meet up or hosted at home. I’m down for either!  How dope would it be to host a Galentine’s and guest arrive in cozy pajamas with wine and bring their favorite party game. A classic Galentine’s party wouldn’t be complete without your favorite music playlist! Never have I ever is a good game to keep in your arsenal. This is also good distraction for those of us who are single this time of the year. If you’re group of friends are anything like my friends we always want more reasons to get together outside of birthdays! Happy Galentine’s Day ladies! -Nikko Linktree

How old was I?  I entered the 90’s on my 8th birthday and it gloriously ended the year I turned 17. These precious years shaped who I am and is still my go to music. I’m always fascinated when a song from that era comes on and it takes me back to a childhood memory at the roller skating ring, birthday party, vacation etc. The ironic thing is how some days I don’t remember what I had for breakfast but my mind has vivid long term memories of the 90s LOL This was the bright colored jackets, crop top, overalls, plaid shirts, bandana headbands bucket hats and of course track suits! I was definitely a baggy comfy clothing era Life without cellphones? I didn’t have a cell phone until I was freshman year in college. Before that I had a clear purple cell phone that I would use to send friends codes. My favorite beeper code was 07734=hello (read upside down). It wasn’t outside the norm to carry change to use the pay phones. I got my first private landline when I was in middle school. I thought I

Is it just me? When dating a new interest their physical looks get you the first date but compatibility will have us at our second date. If I’m interested I’ll ask questions that give me insight on who that person is. And yes, it is important to share whether my intentions are to hang out or to pursue a relationship. There is also one unexpected thing that is make or break to this process since becoming a single dog mom. I will forever refuse a love interest who doesn’t like pets. Have I always been like this? Short answer is no. You’ll never know the bond between a dog mom if you’ve never experienced it yourself. Before I got my dog many years ago I had relatives who weren’t too keen on dogs until they met my dog. There are two different types of people. The ones who have never had the opportunity and those who mistrust all pets. We all know someone who’s had a traumatic bite experience that makes them hesitant to meet a new dog but I’m not speaking on the trauma related mistrust. Is

       Let me start by saying I am a long time fan of all the Best Man movies. The final chapter is my new favorite. If you haven’t seen it, don’t worry you can still watch it on Peacock. Before I hit play I seriously debated refreshing my memory on the first movie. To be fair, the first one came out in 1999…that was a long time ago. I didn’t to a refresher I jumped head first into the movie.      It was nostalgic to see all my favorite actors and actresses back in the acting saddle! They say black don’t crack and this holds true this never aging cast. In my opinion, this movie is underrated. It’s relatable content and storyline made it all seem so realistic. My favorite part is that I couldn’t figure out the ending. Little fun fact, I’m pretty good about guessing the ending of most movies.     What are you waiting for? Slide into that onsie, pop the corn and pour the wine. It’s going to be that kind of night! You’re welcome ☺️  -Nikko
