Day #18- Friday Date Day - 28 Days of Self Love

It's day 18 of 28 Days of Self Love and it's the 3rd Friday date day! Each Friday we suggest a different idea for you to go on a date with yourself. Today we want you to have a spa day! That can include going out to get a mani or pedi, facial, or massage.

For the past 4 years I've done my own mani and pedi, partially because I needed every cent of my money to go towards bills or my children but also because I decided that I wanted to do those things for myself.

For years I paid others to care for my hands and my feet and my hair and when I went natural I wanted to extend that to other parts of my body. I've enjoyed taking care of myself in that way but today I am going to get my first pedicure in a few years and I'm excited.

I decided to get my first book on my reading list from BAM-Books A Million, go get my pedicure and then take myself out to lunch. I'm excited to spend this time with me!

When Jokes Cross the Line - What Cardi B's Comments Really Reveal

When Jokes Cross the Line What Cardi B's Comments Really Reveal Phatabulous Magazine Staff Growing up, I was always the fat one. There were other girls with my name, but I was always described as “the short fat one.” I hated it. I never got so used to it that I was okay with it, I just learned not to lash out every time. Most of the time, I let it go because I realized people weren’t trying to get a rise out of me. Maybe they didn’t know. Maybe they didn’t care. But the truth is, it always hurt. That’s why when Cardi B, one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world, made recent comments that many found fatphobic, it struck a nerve.
