you're either gonna love or hate what I have to say but I'm sorry, no matter how much money I make in this life in this world, one thing I will always invest in one thing I will always keep on a payroll is a housekeeper. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know it's a luxury. It's definitely up there with lash extensions and getting your nails done every two weeks. But if it is something that you can afford and like, and truly afford. Girl, I tend out of ten recommend because time is money and money is time. So me and my housekeeper have a really good relationship. She usually comes every three weeks, but because I've been traveling so much, I've missed the appointment twice in a row. So, context, that's why I usually wanna keep a housekeeper on like a retainer because the more often they come, the less they usually have to clean, so the more affordable it is. So since Miss Carolina hasn't been here in like a month and a half now, I'm trying to do my little deep clean before she comes and does her deep clean. And I just gotta say like, shout out to all the housekeepers because this is not easy work. I know a lot of people usually say like, oh my gosh, cleaning is so therapeutic for me. I just have never been that girl. Other things are therapeutic for me, but cleaning is not one of them. I feel like everyone who has a housekeeper always does like a pre-clean before they get there anyway. So Miss Carolina, if you're watching this, I can't wait to see you soon. Text me when you're on the way, boo.
