Low-Stress Last Minute Gift Ideas for Him, Him and Him.
So, its December 17th and if you are like me then it means you still haven’t done Christmas shopping as yet. It’s late, the streets are busy and you still need to be going to work; save some time and shop online.

I also never felt like I was at a disadvantage. You see, I grew up in the Caribbean and while for some Caribbean people Christmas is a “huge deal” for others…

I loved my locs, but a major life event occurred when I turned 23 so I decided to start fresh and I did…
