Do You Have To Invite Your Guest’s Plus 1?

Remember when I was wondering if I should parry or not? Or more like I had decided not to parry and I was looking for validation from you? Well, one of the things I was thinking about was my guest list. I had already made a list of people I was going to invite, and the list was longer than I wanted it to be, but I wasn't going to cut anyone off. However, for some of the people on my list, I was not planning on inviting their significant other - not because I did not know them, but because I do Read More

Does Your Man Know He’s Lucky?

Really? This is one line men still use, and I still don't understand why. Do men say this because they think it works? Or do men say this because it actually works? Dear men, please respond. I met a Nigerian guy at my job. Let's call him Femi. I'm really hoping that Femi isn't his real name because I cannot remember now what he said his name is, but I know it was a common Yoruba name like Femi. Anyway, he had come to the office like 3 times, and every single time he came, he said not more Read More

My Birthday: To Parry Or Not To Parry

I don't even know if this is a real question because I think I already know the answer. So my birthday is in 12 days (January 14th. Who no know go know) and back in November, I decided that I would host a game night in my house. The thing is, I never do anything for my birthday. I don't even buy myself gifts. The last time I did something for my birthday was two years ago, and that's because Igwe planned me a surprise birthday dinner [pictures included]. So for this year, the plan was to be Read More

Goodbye 2013 … Hello 2014!

If I start this post by saying that 2013 has zoomed by so quickly, it would sound like a cliché because everyone else is probably saying the same thing (and everyone says the same thing every year), but it's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It's 2014 today, and in 13 days (January 14th), I will be one year older. Wow. Of course, I had to plugin my birthday in this post. Why shall I shy? I am so, so grateful for this year. I started doing something that has been Read More

Girl Crush: Beyoncé!

I have a huge crush on Beyoncé. Ever since I fell in love with her sometime this year, my love has continued to grow. There is so much that I love about her. I don't know her personally, of course - in case you haven't figured that out - but I have judged her to be a certain way, and whether I am right or wrong, these are the reasons why I love her. 1. She's a strong woman. 2. She's super talented and super private (we don't know many things about her that she doesn't want us to Read More
