If I had to think about the things that have kept me together over this near year of pandemic living, I’d have to say books and exercise. Both activities allow me to escape for a brief time. We all could use a little break these days, right? I’ve upped my workouts to six times a […] Read more…

Black Self Care Brands I Love..
