For the past month, I have been obsessed watching this show you may have heard of called, "Flea Market Flip". There is a HUGE flea market experience coming to Packwood, WA, the last weekend in May.

Yakima is full of amazing sights and wonders. Just the other day as I was on the roads I saw something I've never seen before. A little cyclone of wind, which isn't too uncommon, but this featured a tumbleweed and a bag caught in the whirlwind doing a little dance for the good people of Ya…

The only thing I became particularly skilled at in high school cosmetology class was giving pedicures, manicures, and shampooing the towels. At Yakima beauty schools, you will get quality hair services for practically pennies on the dollar. They offer hair and nail services, facial beauty treatments…

My dog, Tater, is a Golden Retriever who will celebrate his 2nd birthday at the end of next month. It's hard to believe that he joined our family almost two years ago when he was just 7 weeks old. We couldn't be more in love with this goofy, hole-digging, hair-shedding, pond-jumping, sock-…

I saw this John Richard 4-piece framed set of leaves made out of metal from the Neiman Marcus department store. It costs $2,445. Here's how I did my DIY: I spray-painted the leaves and floral picks, let them dry, and then glued them onto the canvas. That was it! I spent less than 40 bucks!

After my friend Tee wondered what Willow and I were going to eat for Easter Brunch, before I could say "I'm planning on staying at home and watching Flea Market Flip in my jammies!", she told me what she was cooking! Let's just say we are going over there to eat for Easter!

If you have never been to the Yakima Taco Fest before, here's what basically happens: You buy a ticket, they give you a wristband and some food truck and drink ticket script, and then you walk around until you find a taco truck you like and stand in line (could be for hours, just saying) to buy…

Being a non-celeb made it difficult for the little fishies in the pond like me to get called upon for the Virtual Pressroom at the 2021 NAACP Image Awards, but in the end, though, it was a super cool experience that I got to have during the coronavirus pandemic. Only 100 or so media people in the wo…

My daughter wanted to have a lemonade stand this weekend. The wheels in my head were turning. I had already done some investigating a couple of years ago and found out that lemonade stands are legal in the city of Yakima, and kids don't need a permit to have one! So let's do this! I lived …

If I ever get invited to have a meal with Denzel Washington and his family, I would probably be fangirling so hard at the dinner table that they'd have to call one of my friends to come pick me up and take me home. I'd be sent away with the quickness like Fantasia Barrino being ushered off…

Side note: If the T-Rex is smart enough to hire a great publicist, it could use all 15 minutes of this newfound infamy to push for being named "the official dinosaur of Washington state". Its arch-enemy, the Suciasaurus Rex, is well on its way to being declared the queen and king of all di…

If it's happened once it's happened a hundred times. The moment when someone discovers that I live in Yakima and begins asking questions like 'Is everyone in a gang'? I'll sigh and say, no, not everyone. It's strange that perceptions are a reality for people and until t…
