How To Achieve That Bond Girl Look?

You've seen the movies through the years, and chances are that if you're one of our readers, they've been running longer than you've been alive. Based on the novels written by an actual former british spy, Ian Fleming, starting back in 1954 with Casino Royale, where agent 007 must participate in a high stakes game of poker, if you've never read a spy novel, it's a good starting point, but what has really kept the novels and its characters in the public mind are the movie adaptions: from Read More

You've probably heard about the people that want to move to Mars, right? No, I'm not talking about a city called Mars - if there's such a thing - I'm referring to the Planet Mars.

The other day, I was at my aunt's house and I was shocked when I saw my little cousin's legs. They were white. And he's a dark skinned black boy. His legs were so white that Igwe started calling him Mr. White (Hi, Walter White!) The winter dryness had taken him to a level of dryness that even I had never seen before. And if you live in a State like Maryland, then you know that this winter has been brutal to say the least. I'll admit something: I'm still a newbie in skincare and beauty. I've Read More

My Grandma Is The Grandma Of Life!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of MassMutual. All opinions are 100% mine. I am excited to join MassMutual in celebrating Black History Month by sharing my personal #JourneyOfYou story of how my family’s history led me to become the person I am today and empowered me to create a legacy for tomorrow.
