Do The Wars Scare You?

I'm not one to say that the world has changed, or that crazy things are now happening, or that all the problems of the world are a sign of the end times. I don't believe that the problems now are suddenly a sign of the end time. I believe that they have always been signs. Basically, there's nothing new under the sun. The things that are happening now have always happened. They're just now more pronounced and they happen differently. For example, nations have always fought each other. At one Read More

Shoe Crush: Aminah Abdul Jillil Bow Pump

My Sweet Potatoes, these shoes have been chasing me in my dreams. I dream of owning them. I dream of wearing them. I have a pair of black panty hose that in my head will go perfectly with a short skater dress or skirt ... and of course these pumps. I want them in black and in blue. Oh, my good Lord, I want them BADLY. But they cost $215. Each. If you are reading this post right now, please know that this is a sign from the good God Almighty that you should buy me one (or both) of these shoes. Read More

Ladies, What’s In Your Bag?

I did a post like this back in 2008, but unfortunately, I lost the image in that post when I moved from Blogger to WordPress. [Read that post here]. At that time, my bag used to be so heavy that it was hurting my shoulder. These days, it's not the case, but I thought to still do a post about the contents of my bag. Speaking of bags, I always prefer a bag with more room, even if I don't fill it up. I'm not the girl who would buy one of those little box clutches that would only fit a lip balm. I Read More

Guess Who’s Going To The BlogHer Conference This Year? This Girl!

I am so excited! Come next week, I will be in San Jose, California for the 10th annual BlogHer Conference. AKA the biggest, baddest blogging conference for women bloggers. I have been waiting to go for this conference for ever. Each year, I come up with a new excuse. Well, not an excuse per say, but I have never really had the financial freedom to attempt to go. There is always something more pressing to attend to. Last year, however, I decided that come hell or high water, I'm going to the Read More

Hello MAC Red, Nice To Finally Meet You

This may sound weird, I know, but this MAC Red lipstick is my very first red lipstick. Ever. More than that, I don't even wear lipstick a lot. Apart from this MAC Red lipstick, I own only 4 other lipsticks, and 3 of them came as free gifts from Lancome. But I had been reading a lot of beauty blogs and a lot of these beauty bloggers kept talking about the MAC Ruby Woo. So I went to MAC with the intention of buying the Ruby Woo lipstick. When I got there, however, I realized that the Ruby Woo Read More
