10 Years Ago: Him: Doesn’t it feel like we’re

10 Years Ago:
Him: Doesn’t it feel like we’re boyfriend & girlfriend?
Me: It doesn’t matter what it feels like you didn’t ask me to be your girl.
Him: C’mon we see each other every other day.
Me: Yea! OK! I don’t know what you’re doing on those days in between and you definitely don’t know what I’m doing.
Him: You’re really want me to ask you like we’re in middle school?
Me: Well, you’ve been doing a great job at courting me but it’s kinda like.. shit or get off the pot 🤷🏽‍♀️
Him: Okkkk, Denise will you be my girlfriend? *laughing*
Me: Let me think about it. *laughing* Just kidding! I’d love to 😍
And that’s how @anthonymandler & I “made boyfriend-girlfriend” 10 years ago.
@anthonymandler we’ve cried with each other, about each other and for each other. It hasn’t all been 🌈 & 🦄 but I couldn’t imagine anyone else I would rather have spend the last 10 years with. I love you, Papa. Here’s to 1000 more years.

Gutted. So utterly devastated. Michael was not only a friend, he was family. He was more than incredibly talented, he was an artist and a visionary. He was also one of the most kindest, gentlest, positive, passionate and gracious people I know. He was generous with his time, his wisdom, his love and in his commitment to give back.
I can’t believe I won’t ever again get to hear him ask “What’s good, D?” Or hear him crack up when I bust my hubby’s chops. We won’t ever again talk about Brooklyn or hip hop or “the work.” 💔💔💔
There’s so much more to be said, but like everyone else who loved him dearly, we are heartbroken and still processing. Sending all my love & strength to his family and friends.
Rest in Happiness, Mike 🙏🏽 I love you, brother ♥️♥️♥️

And just like that, the first week of first grade

And just like that, the first week of first grade is in the bag. 🎉
She walked off with full confidence to her new classroom, her new teachers, ready to make new friends (and see some old friends too) and I couldn’t help but get all teary-eyed. How is she a first-grader? I just had her 😭😱😫 You know that quote, “The days are long but the years are short”? They ain’t lying!!! 😢
My dearest Lennox Mae, you keep heading into the world just like that! With your head up, your shoulders back, sure of who you are and what you want. Mama & Papa love you & are so very proud you. ♥️♥️♥️ #maedmama

When buying mascara are you looking for volume or length? Because finding a clean mascara that delivers can be challenging but @Beautycounter’s Think Big All-In-One mascara is holding up to its name. The carbon black-free formula gave me bold color and an instant lash lift. I’m talking BOTH volume & length 🙌🏽 Plus it’s made with a ton of lash-loving ingredients, like provitamin B five for stronger, longer lashes. Anyone else here for the clean drama? 🙋🏽‍♀️ #ThinkBiggerThinkBetter
