The last 2 flights I’ve taken to Europe have been Basic Economy. Our tickets have been super cheap (like $350) Cle to Amsterdam. We’ve learned how to pack with only a carry on. (as a former overpacker, it’s actually not that bad.) So far our seats have been together. On the last one, we were the only 2 people in our…

My husband thinks I’m crazy because I keep telling him that octopi will take over and become our overlords at some point. Anything that can get that big, unscrew jars and us basic tools is preparing for something. Independence Day was preparing us. I hope people took notes.  

Same. I wanted to buy another one but I don’t think I can bring myself to support someone with these ideals.

There’s a time a place to reach out for things like that. Valentines Day weekend at a hotel should be an obvious dick move. You want free perks during the time when they’re going to do some of the highest volume of business? She needed a little life lesson and got one.

Clue is my hands down favorite movie. I have so many feelings about this though: Who can fill in for the most perfect cast ever put together? Will Ryan take his shirt off? Will I enjoy it if he does? (Yes, although it will most likely have nothing to do with the plot. I’m okay with that.) This is the reason I haven’t…

At the start I was like, “Yeah! This takes place in a dystopian future where the Main Chick has hired a robot detective to spy on SZA while shes with her dude!” *Yes, I came up with all that in the first 10 seconds of watching. I may have had too much caffeine. As it continued on I lost all interest, just closed my…

Skip the London Eye and head to the Sky Garden. It’s free (you just have to make a reservation). It’s the top of an office building with an amazing indoor garden that overlooks all of London. There’s a open air terrace and a bar that has the most beautiful cocktails.

My husband and I went to the Netherlands a few months ago. He’s Dutch and hasn’t been back since he was a kid. Apparently, we had just missed herring season. Damn. (Not really. It was the thing I was least looking forward to trying.) But I did have Kibbeling. That’s where its at. You can’t go wrong with deep fried…

Similar situation: I’m the black wife and my husband is the white guy. I brought him to his first black Thanksgiving and he had to learn all of this real quick. he decided to make mashed potatoes (we’ve never had them at ANY Thanksgiving) but he also made like 10 lbs. We went back home with about 9.5 lbs. He jokes…

My husband eats it almost daily. He’s Dutch, so it’s also salted to add an extra layer of disgusting. I guess I should I check our life insurance policy.

Hi Jezzies!

I’m dealing with this now. I’m trying to figure out why I don’t get any of the management perks (sick days/personal days/paid holiday) but a select few of my colleagues (the men), do.

I’ve been in sort of a slump lately. My husband and I decided this was the year we would try to do some official adulting and attempt to start the homebuying process. Although we have a combined credit score of 670+, he’s got a couple of outstanding collections and is still paying his student loans. I’m done paying…

I send my husband (white guy) articles like this before we go to my family functions. He experienced his first black church outing this morning but I didn’t see the article until now. He’s laughing at how accurate it was.

I’m legit freaking out. I wear a womens size 12 or 13. No, I’m not a freakish giant. I just have some big ole boats and it sucks. Payless is the ONLY place I can go to get shoes that fit and are cute. The Christian Siriano line has been a blessing and now I feel like I’m losing it all. Fuck.

Hubs and I are heading to The Netherlands tomorrow and we are spending a few days in London. I’m now slightly terrified of that thought. Between TrumPutins travel ban, Brexit, the Netherlands election and now this, Im at the point where I just want to lock myself in my home and invite all the good people of the world…

The hubs and I are going in March. He was born there and moved to the states when he was 12. This will be the first he’s been back in 18 years. I told him if shit goes down while we’re over there, he needs make sure he’s got dual citizenship. We’ll send for the Kiddo and keep our asses there. The whole Black Pete…

Here in Cleveland. All the Nasty Ladies came out to play.
