Beyonce had twins a month ago, and she fiiiiiiinally revealed their picture today. The boy is Sir Carter, and the girl is Rumi Carter. Now, I would have asked Beyonce to teach me what moves she and Jay Z used to conceive their twins, so I can go replicate it with Igwe for our own future twins, but I want confusingly identical twin boys - not a boy and a girl. With that being said, let's talk about Beyonce's snap back. That said, I'm a fan of Beyonce. Not necessarily for her music, but for Read More
Can We Talk About Bladder Leaks For Women?
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Always Discreet. The opinions and text are all mine. Oh, where do I begin? My body has not been completely the same since Ada Verastic exited it almost two years ago. For starters, there's the c-section scar on my bikini line.

You love what you see her doing and wearing, and you Read More
Why I Was Disappointed At Chimamanda’s Event
I know, I know. This must come as a surprise for you considering how I praised Chimamanda and expressed our new love. Well, everything I said about Chimamanda remains true. She's still my BFF, and we are still getting married. However, there are some things I observed at the event that surprised me. Let me preface this by saying that I may not be completely objective since (1) I am a book lover, and by default, I love book-related activities, and (2) I obviously love Chimamanda too. All Read More
