Whaaaat's good, fam? HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Sorry it took me FOREVER to post this article; the holidays really bomb-rushed a girl! I only have one word for today's food spot: FLAVOR! Mr G's BBQ is a Tallahassee family-owned BBQ spot ran out of a mobile kitchen... the home of GENUINE BBQ! They are conveniently open everyday from 9am to 6pm! For this tasting, I received baked BBQ chicken and BBQ ribs; along with four sides: seasoned rice, green beans, potato salad, and baked beans! The menu is simple and straightforward! There is something for every one on this menu whether you're a vegan, pescatarian, or a full-blooded meat lover! There is a variety of smoked options: chicken, ribs, and pulled pork. If you're not a BBQ person, they have tons of non-BBQ options: catfish dinner, shrimp dinner, sandwiches, fire-grilled burgers, and hot wings. There are ELEVEN delicious sides to choose from: baked beans, potato salad, yams, seasoned rice, field peas, butter b

Hey, what's up fam? If you are in Florida's capital city, wanting to go out for a delicious brunch (on a budget) - you're in luck. Two days ago, I had the privilege to visit Jeri's Midtown Cafe in Tallahassee, FL.  Jeri's Midtown Cafe is a real find. Serving all seven days of the week - serving primarily brunch items! Perfect for people who may want to visit on their lunch break - or perhaps a lunch out with a few girlfriends. The vibe and scenery of this cafe is so cozy and comfortable from the minute you walk in through their patio garden; which is where I sat during the #HighKeyCravings episode. For the tasting video, I was joined by my friend and fellow Youtuber, TiaraTonia  Her Youtube Her Instagram Here is the full video in case you haven't watched yet :) First, I must start off by saying Jeri's has like amazing customer service. We were greeted by the outgoing owner, Jeri - as well as the lovable hostess, Kevin. We were then

Self-care starts from within! What do you think of when you think of self care? Is it manis & pedis? Spa days? Girl trips with your friends? As a woman who is trying to do better with taking care of herself and putting her needs before others, I can tell you I have failed more times in this area than I have succeeded. And if you haven’t heard, failure is a better teacher than success on any given day. Self care is such a hot topic these days, so let’s talk about what self care is, and isn’t!

It’s important to monitor your inner circle when it comes to pursuing your goals in life. One of the hardest realities I’ve faced has been learning to let go of individuals that have exceeded their expiration date. I used to be one of those people who held onto relationships (both platonic and romantic) After various events that took place within a few friendships of mine, I realized that outgrowing people is a part of life and accepted the fact that everyone isn’t meant to come along during certain parts of my journey . If you care for your loved ones as much as I do, then you’ll understand why this decision wasn’t an easy one. There will be some people that take offense to your choice because they either don’t understand or don’t want to put in the effort to understand that you all may be growing apart and going separate paths. One of my biggest mistakes were allowing some of those people to make me feel guilty for growing, for becoming the woman I am and wanting more for myself

What is healing? Healing to me is restoring your physical and mental well-being through letting go of all trauma and/or hurt that is holding you back, identifying triggers, accepting change and accepting the fact you may have hurt others through your actions. Healing is about restoration, new beginnings, soul searching, finding new energy and through it learning how to love yourself one step at a time. Since as young as I can remember, I have learnt to depend on unhealthy and unstable habits to get me through the days and cope in difficult situations. I was always misunderstood and sometimes still can be, but being misunderstood was because I did not know how to communicate how I felt, partly because I learnt how to wait for these moments to pass, not knowing that I was unknowingly waiting for the whole cycle to start all over again and partly because I did not feel that anyone would care about how I felt. Instead, my form of expressing myself was simply to shut down, not talk abo

Out of all the years on this earth, I would say 2019 is truly the one that forced me to face several of my fears and insecurities in the face and really get to the root of why. For years I have battled with the ability to say what’s on my mind & express how I really felt about certain situations. If I expressed anything, it came with sugarcoating my true feelings, worrying about how it would make the other person feel. My insecurity with communication has been a battle - I've finally decided to face & conquer this insecurity. Let me clarify: Not the ability to speak & say words – communicating my true feelings when they needed to be expressed. There are times in my life where I have truly expressed my feelings, but only in extreme situations (i.e. a breakup, a misunderstanding, etc.) OR jokingly or through sarcasm. But to truly communicate that I don’t like something straight out and straight forward – NEVER! Throughout my youthful years, let’s just say I’ve nailed
