The Pressure For Baby Number 2 Is On!

I don't care what anyone says oh, but I still refer to myself as a new mom. Ada Verastic might be popping her own baby out before I stop referring to myself as a new mom. I cannot speak for all moms, but for me, I feel like I just had a baby. I know it's a whole year - 13 months - later, but it does not feel like it's been that long since Ada Verastic came. That being said, the pressure is on for Baby Number 2. Or if things go my way, we'll be talking about Baby Number 2 and Baby Number 3. Read More

Verastic Life 10: Ibukun’s Surprise 30th Birthday

10 already! Woooooot!!!! I know that 10 episodes is nothing compared to those who have been vlogging for years, but allow me to pat myself on the back a little. I have tried. In last week's episode, I missed a few scenes, so I added those scenes at the beginning of this week's episode - which is why Ada Verastic is still wearing the same outfit she was wearing at the end of last week's episode. In this week's episode, we party with Ibukun for her would-have-been surprise 30th Read More

Life’s Like That Sometimes – Part 2

Anyway, yesterday, I was switching my summer clothes out for my winter clothes, and it got me thinking. I was excited to switch my clothes out because I am now in a season that I enjoy. Although we Read More

The Igbo Language Is Trying To Kill Me

The Igbo language is really trying to drive me nuts. Let me tell you how. The other day, I was on my computer writing (not blogging) when I suddenly got inspired to add a twist to what I was writing, but to complete it, I needed the Igbo word for Lion. I was sure it was Agu, but then, I started reading a list of Igbo names on Google, and in the list, Agu was interpreted as Tiger. My people, that was how the confusion started. So, naturally, I turned to my Facebook family where the Read More

I Really, Really Want To Cut All My Hair Off

My hair is natural; you know that, right? Well, there was one time I wrote about wanting to perm my hair again. Not just perm it, but cut it and perm it. Now I'm over the desire to perm it, but I'm now obsessing and fantasizing about cutting it all off. Cutting my nails off is something I do quite frequently (I just did it the other day), but that's because my nails are healthy and they grow really fast, really long, and really strong. The same, unfortunately, cannot be said for my Read More
