There’s no shame in my game when it comes on to food. As an unapologetic foodie, I love trying new recipes in my kitchen, my happy place, CreativeAjay’s Kitchen. This weekend, I yielded to my cravings and whipped up a seafood specialty. And I loved it. It was tasty and flavorful…
Someone texted me a pic of myself taken when I was 18. I examined it closely. Yes, that is me, and yes, I was lean AF. Peep the fashion though… If I remember clearly, at that age, the extent of my workouts was simply walking: no gym, no weights, no abdominal exercises. Yet, I had…
