How Natural Is St. Ives?

Lotion, apricot scrub, and body wash

Lately, I have been visiting the skin care aisle at Walmart way too many times. I don’t know what exactly I am looking for, but I hope that when I find it, I recognize it. If not for anything, I have come to find out that visiting the skin care aisle, especially at Walmart is not friendly to your wallet. Yes, Walmart does sell for less, and that’s exactly why you end up buying more. But let’s focus on St. {Read More}

Ladies, Let’s Talk About Anti Aging Creams

Anti Aging Cream

It’s quite unfortunate all the things that we (women) have to think about and deal with. Just like men don’t think as much about their waist line, they also barely think about anti aging remedies. In fact, the likes of George Clooney and Denzel Washington are celebrated for being distinguished. Not old. Distinguished. But I have never heard the likes of Meryl Streep and Betty White described as distinguished. They’re just old. Or older. So my friend, Uju (yes, the {Read More}

Would You Wear This See Through Dress?

See-Through Dress

You know I’m not a Fashionista, so sometimes I don’t know what is wearable and isn’t. Maybe then I just don’t understand fashion. Would you wear this? It’s a see through  dress and you can  really see through. But then again, maybe she didn’t know it was see-through, and maybe this is one of those fabrics that become transparent under light/camera flash. My guess is that the men would love it (they may not necessarily want their women to wear {Read More}

Ladies & Gentlemen, How Do You Feel About Vaginal Sprays?

Summer's Eve Vaginal Spray in the fragrance of Island Splash

You’re probably wondering why the heck I’m asking men how they feel about vaginal sprays. Well, they go down there, that’s why I’m asking – not that I would know anything about that [insert straight face]. I started using vaginal sprays a little over a year ago, and I like them. For me, the decision to use a lot of things like lotion, fragrances, deodorant, hair spray, etc depends a lot on what it smells like. I’m a very big {Read More}

Gentlemen, Would You Wear This Underwear?

The front view

One never stops running into crazy things. So, this is an underwear for men, sold by a French company. I have no idea why any man would want to wear this. It’s like the C String underwear for women that I blogged about a while ago, except that this is even weirder. Women can wear anything, no matter how weird or unusual it is. The same cannot really be said for men. I don’t even like thongs because, well, who {Read More}

Ladies, How Often Do You Wash Your Braids?

My wet braids, not that you can tell they are wet.

You know as Black women, there is so much that we can do to our hair. The options are almost limitless.  A lot of people don’t know it, but my hair is natural now. I have not had a perm in it for a while now, maybe almost a year? I don’t know the date exactly. I went natural because I started wearing weaves often, and I would perm my hair and put a weave in two days later, which {Read More}

I’m In Crisis Mode

Manicure

I love seeing my nails colored. I usually paint my toe nails myself, and I have become quite good at it. The problem is my finger nails. I can paint them, too, but they never turn out as nice as my toe nails being painted (and I wish that was the problem). The other problem is that nail polish doesn’t last long on my finger nails. Three days max. I don’t mind painting my finger nails myself, but I cannot {Read More}

Ever Since Kim Kardashian Got Pregnant …

Kim Kardashian

She’s been confusing the hell outta me with her clothes. While a lot of people have said that they “love” this dress on her, I personally find it strange. There is too much breast going on in there.  And it feels like she’s attempting too much to cover up the bump, which I don’t understand. Pregnant women are all kinds of sexy. Some more sexier, of course. I think she just doesn’t know what to do with this new body {Read More}

Ladies, How Long Do You Wear Your Heels?

Sarah Jessica Parker

I don’t know about you, but the first time I heard about Manolo Blahnik was on Sex and the City, where the lead character, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) was a writer and a fashionista who was always in heels – Manolo Blahnik, to be precise. Well, it turns out that all those times she was wearing heels, it wasn’t just an act. I mean, when the camera went off, she did not take the shoes off (as I would {Read More}

Reason Number 803283 Why You Should Ignore The Fashion People

White Shoes

I am not a trendy person at all. If you see me wearing something that is trendy, it is mere coincidence. I do not care to find out what “they” have decided is the thing that every girl needs. I just stick to my own personal style. Everyone has style; some styles are just nicer than others. I remember some years ago, I owned a pair of white sling back shoes, and I loved them! I bought them on sale, {Read More}
