As much as I love the touchdowns and the halftime show, I'm gonna be honest - the true MVP in my mind is the endless supply of wings, nachos, and ice-cold drinks. I mean, who needs all that other stuff when you've got good eats to enjoy?

Whether you're with me on this or not, I hope you have the best time this Super Bowl Sunday!

As we honor Black History Month this February, I want to personally pause and pay tribute to the countless Black individuals who have shaped our world and tirelessly fought for justice and equality.

The Black community has always been at the forefront of progress and change, and this month and always, I stand in solidarity to listen, learn, and take action to support and uplift the Black community in our city, state, and nation. I hope you’ll join me.

Today I’m feeling brave, bold, and fired up to tackle one of the world’s biggest problems:

Taming the Tupperware monster.

Sure, you can install a Lazy Susan in your cabinet, but there are cheaper and quicker ways to stay just as organized:

- Beware of Tupperware creep. Do you really need 24 teeny-tiny containers? Nope, you don’t.
- Organize by brand. If you don’t, it’ll take FOR-ever to find a match.
- Repurpose old magazine organizers. Deep and roomy cabinets? Use magazine organizers to keep lids neat and tidy.
- Use under-shelf baskets or hanging pocket organizers for lids. You can pick both up at Home Depot, Amazon, or Bed Bath & Beyond for under $10.
- Divide a larger drawer into smaller compartments for lids and containers. Use a mesh organizer or a piece of wood or cardboard cut specifically to your dimensions.

Hosting…in-laws…kids…making sure your home survives the madness…

Whether your plans are crazy or cozy, you CAN thrive this holiday season when hosting family and guests. Here are six tips to help:

1. Declutter and donate to make space for guests and the coming onslaught of gifts.
2. Keep tried-and-true appetizer ingredients (and bottles of wine) on hand. Perfect for last-minute gifts or impromptu gatherings.
3. Stock up on towels and toilet paper. A must and total no-brainer.
4. Splurge on fancy disposable plates, cups, and silverware.
5. Wash or replace guest room linens, pick up extra toiletries, and swap old pillows for new, so you'll feel confident your guests are nestled and all snug in their beds.
6. Take care of yourself! Gift yourself a quiet walk or hit up your favorite coffee shop solo when you need a break and some fresh air.
