What’s one thing you’re grateful for from the pandemic? I can’t believe we are almost 3 years into this COVID pandemic! I feel like it was just yesterday when I was doing my job cleaning the gym (when I owned a cleaning business), and the whole world shut down around me. All of the local businesses in Athens stopped serving […]
“Under Construction”
When was the last time you felt like your life was under construction? What did you do to fix it? To all of my subscribers and loyal readers, thank you. To all of my subscribers and loyal readers, I apologize. I apologize for not providing any content in the last few weeks! I feel like pieces of my life have […]
“Where’s The Wine?! – Part 3”
How long does it take you to reach out and ask for help? If you’ve been hanging with me and riding with Off the Record Lifestyle Blog for a while, then you know I have made a very good friend in a nice glass of wine. Give me a glass, some good food, and some genuine vibes and ya girl […]
“Look At Me Now!”
Have you ever thought about what your hair says about you? One of the things I love about being a Black woman is the versatility of our hair. Our hair comes in so many different natural colors, textures, and lengths. I was born with dark brown, coarse, and very THICK hair. When I was a little girl, I HATED getting […]
“Shine Bright Like A Diamond!”
What’s one of your favorite go-to looks? If I were to use one word to describe my sense of style and fashion it would be — uncomplicated. I like to wear a variety of colors, but I don’t wear them all at once. I like to try different patterns and cuts, but I rarely pair diverse items together. I get […]
“Daydreaming”
What’s something that you find yourself daydreaming about often? I have tons of student loan debt. When I was receiving those refund checks in college and law school, I never thought about the future impact student loans will have on my livelihood. Let’s not get it twisted; I am so glad my parents didn’t have to come out of pocket […]
“Congratulations Class of 2022!”
Do you remember how you felt when you graduated? It’s that time of year again! No, just not my birthday, haha! But it’s graduation season! So many bright people are graduating from high school, college, graduate school, and even elementary school! They are closing one chapter in their lives, taking with them the knowledge and experiences they created over the […]
“Ready For the Big Bucks?!”
Do you like your job because of what you do or because it pays you well? I’ve said it once before — law school chose me. I also like to think that a career as a public defender chose me as well. Have you ever had a major part of your life just choose you? Law school chose me because […]
“Fun Fact: I Had Braces”
Have you ever had braces? At the age of 9, I got fitted for my very first pair of eyeglasses. I cannot remember what led me to the eye doctor for eyeglasses; maybe it was an annual visit. I remember one moment not needing glasses and then the next minute being told I needed glasses because I was near-sighted (or […]
“They’re Watching!”
What kind of security system do you use? When was the last time you’ve been to a supermarket like Wal-Mart? When you went, do you recall seeing those large black round balls attached to the ceiling? Ever wonder what they were? I know as a kid I had no idea what they were, but because we learn more when we […]
