One of the exciting things about Nigerian parties is the food, but if you are smart, you won't rely totally on the food because there's no telling what it'll taste like. I've gone for parties where the food was so good, I wanted to take the whole cooler home. And then there are some that just make you have sinful thoughts of how many ways you want to kill the caterer. So, to be safe, I always eat at home. I don't mean to brag, but my cooking can make you want to marry me - whether you're a man Read More
Natural Deodorant Review: Native
Let me preface this post by making it clear that this is NOT a sponsored post. A while ago, I wrote about how I stopped using deodorant for a while and suddenly had even-toned skin under my arms.

I just know that I cannot be the only one who was a child dreaming about adulthood. I had plans for all the things I was going to do when I became an adult. Like I was finally going to eat all the candy bars I wanted, and I was finally going to drink energy drinks, instead of just juice. Don't ask me why my mom was very specific about juice. Read More
Apparently, Americans Don’t Know Where Cashew Nuts Come From
Seventeen years in America and I am still learning. I suppose it makes sense, considering that I am Nigerian, and I am still learning about my own country. Still, it's fascinating. So, the other day, I discovered something about my dear Americans. We won't call it scientific research, but I think it counts for something. I love cashew nuts - thanks to my dad who always treats it like gold. So the other day, I had a bag of cashew nuts that I shared with Karyn, my American friend. Somehow Read More
