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

Ladies, Do You Squat Or Sit When Peeing In Public Toilets?

Ever since I was a child, my mom has taught me to not sit on public toilets. And my mom's definition of "public toilet" is any toilet that isn't ours, no matter whose house it's in. When I have to use the toilet in my house, most times I don't look at it to see if it's clean because it's just me and Igwe, and I clean it every week --- and thankfully, Igwe does not pee on the toilet seat, so that's not even a conversation that we ever have. Even when I wake up to pee in the middle of the night, I Read More

Let Me Tell You About My Neighbor Tatiana

Igwe and I moved into our apartment in January of last year. Remember the post about our move? It's been a year and half and I still don't know the name of any of my neighbors. I know the couple that lives under us, and I know they have a little kid - about 3 or 4 years old. I don't know who lives on top of us, but he or she does not sleep. I hear him/her walking around all the time, and the floors creek, so ... yeah. Anyway, there's a Black couple we always see outside. I'd place the woman Read More
