Your Horoscope Is Not All of You.
(ThySistas.com) Anyone have a friend that lives and dies by what their astrological sign reveals about them? It is ok. You do not have to say their name. We all have friends like that.

I do, however, want you to consider... [Read more of this review]

Native Daughter Dilemma.
(ThySistas.com) In 2016, when Donald Trump announced he was running for office, I must admit that I laughed harder than I ever did in my life. I could not for the life of me figure out who told him this was a good idea. Then something strange happened because people started paying attention to him. They actually started to listen to the sloppy, ill-crafted alt-right gibberish the campaign writers were... [Read more of this review]

If Only There Was a Time Machine.
(ThySistas.com) As a young woman, like any other, I would proudly and readily say that I lived my life with no regrets whatsoever. I would say that this person, that thing, this event, or that institution didn’t owe me a thing when I moved on. To a large degree, they don’t because they stopped me with more than enough memories to keep me laughing and crying for years to come. On the other... [Read more of this review]

What is Your Recharge Station?
(ThySistas.com) If you ever have the chance to experience my home, we have chargers everywhere: phone, Bluetooth speaker, laptop, iPad, PS4, etc. If it has a cord, we probably have somewhere for it to power up so you can go back to using it. Anytime we lose a cord and/or plug, we get truly upset. My husband and I are convinced that every charger is supposed to outlive us. No matter how much... [Read more of this review]
Is it Self-Care or Maintenance?
(ThySistas.com) For the record, this question popped in my head courtesy of a rant my sister decided to have. She went on social media and saw women getting their hair, nails, and feet polished and claiming it as self-care. “That is what you are supposed to do! That is not self-care!” She shouted. I laughed until I thought about what she said. Then, it made me wonder if there is a difference... [Read more of this review]
The Case of the Ex.
(ThySistas.com) Them: You can’t be friends with an ex! Me (smirking): Ok. Telling me what I cannot do used to be the fastest way to anger me. What can I say?
