Why I Decided to Delete the Dating Apps?
The ultimate relationship that mattered the most was my relationship with the creator, which I had taken for granted and honestly neglected.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month will always have a special place in my heart. As I’ve shared many times before my “Bigma” is a breast cancer survivor. She is probably one of the strongest women I know!

My story is similar to a lot of you. You may have been affected directly by breast cancer, know a survivor, or unfortunately know someone who lose their fight. On the blog today I’m sharing some important information on early detection and self-examination! Please see the steps below to do a self-examination.
