If you haven't gotten a raise in the past couple years for a job well done, it might be time to ask for one.

I don't want my guy to buy me cars, villas or diamonds. I can do all that. I don't want any PDA, either.

I feel like I grew up in such a big way in the past couple of years, in a way that I never thought I would. You can't be the enfant terrible when you have the enfant at home.
