Someone asks if you’re pregnant on your live and y Someone asks if you’re pregnant on your live and you have to explain fibroid bloating for the first time in your life, because this time you couldn’t hide it 😅

Look, I get it. My doctor literally told me I have the uterus of a 4-month pregnant woman because of my fibroids. So when this stranger on my live asked me this, I wasn’t as offended as someone else probably would have been 🤭

And since we’re here (and it’s Black History Month) let’s talk about it. Did you know that Black women are 2-3x more likely to develop #fibroids than other women, and we tend to get them younger and more severely. Yet so many of us suffer in silence because nobody’s talking about it.

I’ve been dealing with this privately for years now. The bloating, the extreme pain, the severe anemia, and the things I dare not even speak about here. And if you’re like me, eventually it gets to a point where you just can’t hide it anymore. And honestly? That’s ok, because I’d rather talk about it.

If you’ve ever struggled with fibroids or had to navigate these awkward questions, just know you’re not alone. 

Our health matters, and so does this conversation, so let’s discuss.

If you’ve ever opened a pizza box and sighed… this If you’ve ever opened a pizza box and sighed… this one’s for you. 😩 This has happened to me far too often lately and at this point, I’m traumatized by pizza delivery, so now I make my own. And honestly? It’s way better.

The crust is crispy, the cheese is perfect, and there’s zero chance of it being delivered cold and in shambles. This has become my weekly staple because it’s easy, comforting, and wildly more satisfying than waiting 45 minutes to be disappointed.

Save this for your next cozy night in 🍕 Simple, forgiving, beginner-friendly.

Nothing makes you want carbs quite like being aske Nothing makes you want carbs quite like being asked if you’re pregnant when you’re not 🤣

Homemade pizza has become one of my favorite things to make weekly. Dough, fresh toppings, hot oven, done in under 30 minutes and tastes better than delivery. 

I usually keep it classic, but I want to start trying some new combos. What should I throw on top next?

I’m giving you the full breakdown to my homemade pizza recipe (that took me years to perfect 🤫), so save this and follow along, because that’s next.

This might be NYC’s best brunch… and definitely it This might be NYC’s best brunch… and definitely its best Belgian waffle 👀 

Girls brunch at Citizens of Soho [ @citizen.allday ] did not disappoint. The Belgian waffle alone deserves its own round of applause and honestly so does the BBQ Pulled Pork Benny! 🤤

Add good vibes, great service, cute aesthetics, and you’ve got one of my new favorite brunch spots in NYC.

It deserves your full attention, so save this for your next outing with friends, family or babe and share it with someone who loves a good brunch moment 🥂

Dating in NYC is already an extreme sport, so I de Dating in NYC is already an extreme sport, so I decided to add French to my skill set. 😂🇫🇷✨

I started taking French classes at @coucoufrenchclasses in NYC a few months ago and this is Episode 1 of my Learning Out Loud series: French edition. 

Did you know that French is spoken in 29 countries across five continents? Neither did I until recently!

If you’ve ever wanted to learn French, this is your sign. Coucou makes language learning fun, social, and actually approachable, even if you’re starting from zero like me. You can take in-person classes in NYC and LA or virtual classes from anywhere online.

If you want to give it a try, tap the link in my bio and use my code “charlie15” for 15% off your first group class. 

Save, share this and follow along to see where this journey takes us.

Oh Jersey… when a spot can do sushi, steak, Italia Oh Jersey… when a spot can do sushi, steak, Italian and seafood all at a 10/10, it’s considered a gem in my book. This restaurant is staying in my rotation and you should definitely add it to yours. Not to mention, the live music (sometimes it’s a dj and other times it’s a violinist) and the stunning views nearby are a big plus! 

📍Blu on the Hudson
1200 Harbor Blvd., Weehawken, NJ

Save this for later and follow for more Jersey Gems.
