Instagram Challenge: 10 Days Of Selfie

I'm always on Instagram. Most days, I go through most of my time at least once. I love looking at pictures, and I follow a variety of people. I follow people who post about fashion, natural hair, pr, life, blogging, movies, weight loss, and lots and lots of shoes. But the problem is that I barely ever have something to put up on Instagram, and I am jealous of people who do.

Being Nigerian: The Due Date Edition

Some days ago at work, I was in Elizabeth's office as usual. Elizabeth is my very cool and friendly co-worker. She's Puerto Rican and pregnant, and everyone knows when she's due because the month and date is posted on her door. It's in April. Anyway, while at her office, her unborn baby decided to show us (Lisa and me) his moves. I could see her belly going up and down, and I thought it was so beautiful and glorious - the miracle of a life jumping inside of her. It reminded me of when my aunt Read More
