Over the weekend, I came across an article on Punch Magazine that quoted Toke Makinwa as having allegedly said that women should snoop on their men because men are wicked. I don't know if she actually said this, and if she did, I don't know when: before or after everyone and their mama found out about her husband's cheating. I can't even decide which would be better because there does not seem to be a lesser evil here. First of all, I have to disclose that I am not a fan or follower of Toke. Read More

You know I love recommending TV shows every now and then, right? So, while I was at the BlogHer15 conference, I had the pleasure of being invited to watch the first episode of GRANDFATHERED on FOX. The show premieres this September. To prepare myself, I watched the preview first, and I loved it before I watched because John Stamos! You know John - yes, I call him John like we know each other - is in the league of Men-Who-Get-Finer-With-Age, so this was the perfect role for him. John Stamos Read More
Summer Is For Alize Cocktails!
I don't know about you, but I am just about done with this summer. It. Is. So. Hot. And I have told you many times how I don't care to be in a 90 degree weather, much less 100 degrees. But you know what I'm always here for? A cocktail, just the way I like it. I am usually very afraid of mixing drinks because I'm not a bartender, so I never know what to mix or how much to mix, but with the Alizé Passion, because you can practically drink it from the bottle, you can't go wrong.
