Black Owned Business Feature: Ivy's Tea Co

I just can't over that it is July already! The summer heat is officially here and I am just excited about doing fun things this Summer.  Today on the blog is another Black Owned Business feature. You have seen this company on here before and I honestly never thought I would kick my everyday coffee habit/addiction with tea. It started off just supporting this company and it turned into a daily thing for me now. I barely drink coffee anymore (I know, shocker lol) but I have Ivy's Tea Co to thank. I discovered this company on Instagram months ago when I was searching for Black Owned Companies to support. I love the hip hop infused vibe of this company and the overall message for being healthy. Each tea has amazing benefits for your metabolism, stress, mood improvement and so on. I never knew that tea could be so beneficial health wise.  Ivy's Tea co is much more than teas. They also have honey, mugs and infusers. They also have a quarterly subscription box t...

On A Personal Note...Am I The Bad Friend??

It seems like Summer is here already with this weather. It has been pretty warm lately. A while back I wrote a post about friendship. You can see that post  RIGHT HERE. Since then I started to sort of distance myself from certain people due to actions that have done or noticed that they have changed. I was never the friend who really said anything or told someone about themselves when they needed to hear it. That wasn't me. I was the goofy, wild, life of the party friend who always made everyone laugh. I was also there when you needed somewhere to stay or something happened, I was there. I feel like I expected so much out of other people but what was I giving back in return? Was I actually the bad friend and placing blame on others? Friendship was so much easier when we were younger. You just played all day, shared laughs, sleepovers, talked on the phone about boys and school for hours and it was a no judgement zone. You didn't talk about your friend, was always loyal,...
