Watch Ya’ Mouth 90s Edition will take you back to a brighter, more simple time when Scrunchies were cool and LL Cool J was only known for rapping. With the 90s bundle, you get twice the content and nostalgia for days! Booya!

From the company that made Watch Ya’ Mouth, the top selling, original, award-winning party card game. Watch Ya’ Mouth: 90’s Edition combines the game play you’ve come to know and love with the nostalgia of all things 90’s. Bangin’ phrases such as “Billy Ray’s Mullet” and “Gameboy” will bring it all back for a night of dope fun! 3-10 players wear cheek retractors and speak out 90’s phrases while teammates guess what they are saying
Includes 300+ Family-Safe phrases. Great for all ages including kids who are 8+ but my 9 year old didn’t get some of the phrases or why we thought they were hilarious so I would def think that those in their early 20s and up would enjoy the humor a lot more! In order for my youngest daughter to play for a bit too we used the app so she’d be able to join in the fun as well and it worked like a charm!

What’s your favorite game to play for family game night? This one will def add a new big of side-splitting laughter for everyone involved. Watch Ya’ Mouth 90s Bundle – Save 30% off Watch Ya’ Mouth 90s Edition bundle pack by using the code “Flannel” HERE which also includes free shipping!

5 Ways to Not Be an Asshole Toward People Dealing With Mental Illness

by 7 Comments

If you’ve been with me for a while you know I typically discuss my love for all things related to natural hair, my crazy ass kids and wine.  Literally those are the three top things that I feel represent who I am as a person.  But for the last year and a half I’ve also focused on a lot of things outside of my blog.  That would be dealing with mental illness.

For the last year and a half I’ve been working as a Crisis Consultant for a suicide hotline.  While it is probably one of the most stressful jobs I’ve had, it is also one of the most rewarding!  The majority of my jobs since I graduated from college have dealt with mental illness in one way or another but not as intimately as this one.

I’ve been trying to figure out the best way for a while now to address some of the issues that come up when I’m talking with callers.  I like to just cut to the chase when I’m talking with people on the phone so I figured that would also translate to how I wanted to discuss this on my blog as well.  The only way I figured that would work was if I gave some tips on how to treat people that are dealing with mental illness.   [Read more…]

5 Tips to Getting Back on Track After a Fitness Break

by 11 Comments

 
A lot of people like to wait until the new year to get their ish together and work on health and fitness goals.  There’s no better time like the present so why not get your butt in gear and start now so that by this time next month you’ll be ahead of the game.
 
You know that saying about summer bodies are made in the winter…well they weren’t lying! You may be thinking its entirely too cold to even thinking about wearing a bikini or that cute dress next summer but before you know it you’ll look up and be like I spent all winter living like a sloth and now I’m paying for it.  We all know that eating right and exercising are what you are supposed to do, but sometimes you just get in a rut and then it’s “Oh I’ll get back on track tomorrow” or “I won’t eat that again”.  Well the time has come and it means no more excuses.  So if you’re like me, meaning human, then you can still get back on track!

5 Ways to Cope with Depression During the Holidays

by 1 Comment

When a lot of us think of December we think about all of the celebrations that happen during the month.  A few of these are Christmas, Hanukkah and Ramadan.   Many people equate these holidays with joy and a time of being with family and loved ones.  But for many this time of year can trigger sadness and increased depression.  There is an expectation for everyone to want to spread good cheer and give more than they receive.  There are a lot of factors that can cause these feelings of hopelessness and depression:

  • SAD – Seasonal Affective Disorder can happen year round but typically affects those during the fall and winter months.  The shorter days and colder months tend to just zap all of your energy and can increase depression.  The “winter blues” are real and shouldn’t be dismissed or taken lightly.  A lot of times treatment can include light therapy, medication or counseling.  Since I work overnights I feel like I get about an hour of sunlight a day!  Light therapy has made a huge difference in my mood.
  • Finances – A lot of times you might get caught up trying to keep up with The Joneses and you want to make sure your kids or family have everything they want.  But the stress of not being able to provide if finances are tight can make you feel like you’re letting people down.
  • Stress – Trying to make sure you’ve got the perfect gifts, house is ready for family, dinner for 20 is taken care of…that’s a lot of crap to deal with!
  • People Pleaser – Putting yourself last and making sure everyone else’s needs are met can also wear you down.
