I've been in a bit of a cooking slump for a few months and really just doing the bare minimum with veggies and protein.

Interestingly, part of my MJ journey has also freed up so much mental space and time that would otherwise have been spent on eating my feelings, so now I'm finally ready to properly putting together meals again instead of just grabbing a tin of tuna like a cat

I'm curious what kinds of dishes you all gravitate towards? Do you like to keep it simple with rice, chicken and veg? Or do you like to go the extra mile and create an MJ friendly version of a craving?

Hello! I'm a curvy/ plus size petite and I am looking for a midi dress that is work appropriate. The issue that I'm running into is that regular stores just don't have very many petite friendly pieces so I end up looking like I'm wearing maxi dresses to work (which isn't the vibe I'm going for). Any tips on where I can snag a nice dress or two before the summer heat kicks off?

So, for the longest time I was fighting against my cool tones. People from my community just don't do muted or cool-toned shades. Red has to be like in your face red, think Dior 999. Blue has to be cobalt. Pastels are reserved for like everyday, simple wear (though that is changing). All of which to say, I always thought I was warm, when I'm not and initially learning that I was cool-toned sent me for a loop.

And I just didn't want to experiment with make-up for the longest time. Cuz what if I was wrong and I ended up looking like a clown (if you know what I mean). So I stuck to the safe, muted side of olive makeup which works in a very natural sort of way.

Today, I passed by a Revlon counter and saw they had Cherries in the Snow, which is a pink lipstick that the interwebs says people with my skin tone should try. So, I swatched it. Incredibly PINK. Then, I thought, wth and bought it.

I'm at home, on my sofa, wearing and typing this. I am in love with how it looks. I NEVER would have picked this shade for myself. It's the most vibrant lipstick I have ever owned. I think my brain chemistry has changed after seeing what it looks like on me.

So, if you're debating getting a vibrant or neon or out-there shade, do it. It might work out. Or it might not. But, you'll never know if you don't try.
