Motion to Slay
Let's play dress-up and drink wine

I recently saw a TikTok talking about how the universe is this merciless, unrelenting MMA fighter, letting the strikes flow like a goddamned waterfall. Her delivery was far more entertaining than my recitation; but the message is the same: sometimes, the hits just keep coming. Given the past few months, I’m right there with her,…

Hoooo, boy…it’s been a minute. Another whole-ass year is behind us (and not even dear sweet baby Jesus knows what new hell it will be this year), and lots has happened. I got a Patreon and a merch store; my Instagram blew up for no discernible reason, and I started gaming in earnest. Makeup has…

Beetles. I hate them. I hate all creepy crawlies—butterflies and ladybugs included. They’re gross with all they’re little legs and exoskeletons. *shudder* Ew. This does not mean, however, that I cannot appreciate the beauty of some bugs. A moth or a butterfly’s wings; a dragonfly’s iridescent gross little body and…beetle wings. I’ve always loved the…

When I say I ‘ve been trying to find the *perfect skincare products, what I mean is that I have five different facial washes, three different serums, two essences and I’ve lost count of the facial moisturizers. Now, at least three of those products are tiny Ipsy samples; but the rest of the 150 products…

My blog is called “Motion to Slay,” and this post will more of the “Motion” part than the “slay” part…although I’d take the “slay” part seriously if I could. When I tell you I was mad, I mean I. Was. Shaking. I was crying. I vocalized my cyclopean desire to walk into a particular Plaintiff’s…

I’m not a sucker for advertisements. Read: I’m a complete sucker for advertisements. So when I saw KVD’s sponsored TikTokers testing its new foundation, the first thought I had was not “this is a sponsorship and therefore, reactions and results are skewed.” No. My first reaction was: ”I MUST PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT.” I acknowledge I’m not unique among…

Let’s talk about hate comments and being offended. As someone who makes a living arguing, I have to say I have never once been offended in my career by anyone. Well…I mean, if being offended by stupidity counts, I guess that statement is not an entirely true statement. The reason I have never been offended making a…

I have always rushed myself. In everything. For no goddamn reason. Getting ready to go places even though I hadplenty of time; getting through school; finishing projects; being healthier; being smarter. I never had any reason to rush myself other than the fear of being left behind. I guess that makes sense in a way, because…

That…that was a rhetorical question. I’m old. I’m over ten years out of college. I’m an entire teenager older than people who became of drinking age this year. I WAS BORN IN THE 1900s. Ugh. I don’t feel old. In fact I was recently in very much need of an adult because this hot-shot 25-year experience attorney…

This pandemic has been a financial blessing and a financial curse. On the one hand, we’ve saved an embarrassing amount of money by not going out. On the other hand, now we have a bunch of money burning holes in our pockets. Selling our house for more than $100k more than what we bought it…
