Authentic conversations about culture, motherhood, divorce, black excellence, humor, and style!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ideal Image. All opinions are 100% mine. Okay, remember in my last post I told you I was going for a consultation at Ideal Image? Well, before I went, I was still skeptical about the treatment. I knew I was interested, but I wasn't 100% there. My story has changed. My appointment was for 11:00 AM, and when I got there, the place looked different from what I expected. The lobby/sitting area had a spa feel to it, which was quite Read More
I was one of the 16 million plus viewers who watched the Emmys on Sunday night, and I loved most of it. I love television. I love film. I want to be in both. And I love the award shows that celebrate the actors, their work, and the people that make them possible (writers, directors, producers, camera crew, etc).

But I will not lie to myself or to you and say that access is what makes me go there. I just love Walmart. If it's available at Walmart, I'm buying it there. I only consider other options when it's not there --- or when I just can't bring myself to buy it from there. For example, I can't buy goat meat from Walmart. But I Read More
Long before Funmie and I met our respective partners, I remember Funmie used to wish to have her relationship be like this couple or that couple, and I always used to say, I just want my relationship to be like mine. I said this because I did not know what was really going on in anyone's relationship behind closed doors. Years later, I especially believe in this. Yesterday, I mentioned in my post how sad and shocking it was that Robin Williams killed himself, but later in the day, I watched Read More
