But there were definitely gaps to fill. No matter your situation, whenever you move, there are things to buy. Like bathroom trashcans! Here are some of the things that I bought (while being very mindful of price)…
Confidence is dead. And I killed it.Because as the ball dropped in Times Square, so did my tolerance for “confidence.” I know—a plus-size Black woman rejecting confidence?
