Side Hustle or Side Hassle? The Real Tea on Chasing Coins After 5PM"

"Side Hustle or Side Hassle? The Real Tea on Chasing Coins After 5PM"


Let’s talk side hustles—because apparently, working 9 to 5 just ain’t cutting it anymore. You clock out, and instead of relaxing with a glass of wine or bingeing Love & Hip Hop, you’re knee-deep in Uber Eats orders, reselling wigs on Facebook Marketplace, or trying to convince strangers on Etsy that your homemade candles smell like Rihanna’s neck. Whew. Let’s unpack it, shall we?

First of all, everybody and their cousin has a side hustle now. Your barber? Selling waist trainers. Your ex? Doing DoorDash in your neighborhood (awkward). That girl from church? She’s “not in an MLM,” but she’s trying to sell you oils that claim to heal your life AND your credit.

But here’s the question: Should you get a side hustle?

Let’s be real:

  • If you can’t remember the last time you had $50 just sitting in your account… maybe yes.
  • If you think sleep is a luxury and not a right… maybe no.
  • If you have a full-time job, two kids, a dog, and a plant that’s barely hanging on… baby, be careful. That’s a side stress, not a side hustle.

The Pros:

  • Extra cash (duh).
  • You might discover a new passion.
  • If your boss gets cute one more time, you already got a backup plan.

The Cons:

  • Burnout is real. You can’t hustle if your edges and energy are both gone.
  • Everybody on Instagram makes it look glamorous. Trust me—it’s not. That “6-figure eBook income” screenshot was probably taken after they refunded half their customers.
  • Not every hustle is for you. Just because your friend makes $200 a week flipping thrift store finds doesn’t mean you won’t end up flipping your patience.

Gossip Time: I knew someone who started selling plates out their kitchen—mac & cheese, wings, collards, the works. Baby, the food slapped… but the health department came knocking. Lesson? Know your lane and the law.

So… should you? Yes—but only if you’re ready to commit, be smart, and not go broke trying to get rich. Some side hustles pay off. Some are just side headaches with no Advil.

Final Thought: If your “hustle” is costing you more time, money, and sanity than it's giving you, it’s okay to sit down. Every bag ain’t your bag. Sometimes, peace is the real flex.

Drop a comment: Do you have a side hustle? Did it bless your life or stress your life? Let’s be messy in the comments—respectfully.

And don’t forget to like, share, and tell your friend who’s trying to sell you lashes, leggings, and lotion all in one DM to read this.

🍿 Once Upon a Time in Beverly Hills (minus some ladies)

🍿 Once Upon a Time in Beverly Hills (minus some ladies) RHOBH used to be about glitz, glam, drama, and personalities with something to lose — or gain. At its peak, it had chaotic friendships, sparkling wardrobes, back-room blowups, and a twisted sense of loyalty. But lately? It’s beginning to feel less like “Real Housewives” and more like “Real House-of-Cards.” And this season — with the exit of Garcelle Beauvais — might just prove it. Garcelle wasn’t just another cast member. She was one of the few who seemed to bring a bit of heart and a dash of backbone to the chaos. And yet — after five seasons — she walked. Dramatically. Without a reunion photo. Without apologies. Saying bluntly, “I’m done.” Sweetheart, same. So yes — I’m done too. 🔥 Why I’m Ready to Drop the “Housewives” Label 1. Loyalty isn’t a thing anymore — it’s a sales pitch It used to be that friendships on RHOBH were messy and flawed but lived-in. Back-stage back-ups, side alliances, shady calls, bu...

Reality TV, Redemption & Receipts: What Are You Signing Up For?

Reality TV, Redemption & Receipts: What Are You Signing Up For? When you say yes to reality TV, what are you really saying yes to? Former two-time America’s Next Top Model contestant Lisa D'Amato is speaking out ahead of the Netflix documentary Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, and baby… it’s giving unfinished business. And if you’re someone dreaming of going on reality TV (and I know you love writing about reality shows and how to get cast 👀), this conversation matters. Let’s break this down — and ask the real questions. Why Watch the Documentary at All? Lisa says she’ll be watching the Netflix documentary — but not for nostalgia. She wants to see how the experiences are edited. That word right there: edited. Because when you film a reality show, you don’t own the narrative. The producers do. She’s concerned the stories may be “softened.” That trauma might be packaged neatly. That accountability might feel… polished. So here’s the first question: 👉 ...
