Traveling while black
by Jackie
My first solo travel experience as a black African woman was in Venice Italy. I enjoyed Venice a lot and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it because I think everyone needs to see it at least once in their lifetime, but I also experienced blatant discrimination because of the color of my skin.

Interesting choices
by Jackie
I have to admit..yellow is one of my least favorite colors, next to orange. I own very few yellow clothes and most of them are work out clothes. I am still warming up to this top I got from Ian’s mom, it has potential 🙂 The ruffles are interesting, never something I would pick out in a store…I felt like i was wearing a … Read More Interesting choices

Last weekend we went to woodinville Wa for wine tasting with some friends and we ended up doing a brewery tour and distillery tasting, in addition to the wine tasting…. Let’s … Read More MIA
New beginnings
by Jackie
I think spring came early in the pnw, too bad the “east-coasters” are getting hit hard by blizzards. Flowers are blossoming everywhere here, the sunny days are getting longer… I hope it stays this way for a while but who knows, the pnw weather has been known to play tricks on us. Anyhow, I bought this dress for my graduation last year and never … Read More New beginnings
