My Weekend Recount: Dayo’s Graduation

It's definitely summer cause the events are pouring in. Every weekend there's something to attend, and Igwe and I are currently committed to yet another project, so we have to turn down a lot of events. This past weekend was Dayo's graduation.

My Weekend Recount: I’m In Love With Myself And I Have The Pictures To Prove It

This past weekend, my sweetheart, Mikki invited us to her mom's 50th birthday. I was really giddy when I got the invitation because it had been soooooo long since I went out. I'm not the girl who likes going out every week or even every month, but every now and then, a girl just wants to dress up and go out. So I did not care that it was a 50th birthday, and I did not care who would be there. I just wanted to get doll'd up and go out. And because it had been so long since I went out, it had also Read More
