Butter Me Up And Call Me A Biscuit

When I was in Nigeria, there were only two ways I knew how to eat corn: roasted (called grilled in America) or boiled. With boiled corn, the only ingredient I knew to put on it was salt (while cooking). And it tasted good, honestly. But one day in America, I ordered some food at a restaurant, and I was asked what side I wanted it to come with. Corn on a cob was one of the options, so I ordered it. When the corn came with butter and black pepper on it, I was not too happy. But then, I tasted it, Read More

What To Pack For A Blogging Conference

It's been over a month since I went for the BlogHer conference, and I'm still recovering. Most of the business cards I acquired are still tucked neatly in their box, yet to be explored. The BlogHer conference was my first blogging conference, so other than posts I read (like this one that you're currently reading), I didn't know much else. I was an unassuming newbie. My level has changed now. So it's your first conference and you're wondering what on earth to pack. I hope this list helps you. In Read More

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

Women Have Been Bitten By Snakes, But The Emmys Was A Rope

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). I watched Sofia Vergara come on stage and I laughed right along with her because I thought she was funny. And when she stood on the rotating pedestal and made sure to highlight her Read More

Ladies, How Do You Get Rid Of Unwanted Hair?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ideal Image. All opinions are 100% mine. I'll always remember when I first started getting rid of the hair on my legs and my mom and aunt were acting like I was taking my organs out of my body. They insisted that leaving the hair was natural beauty, and I obviously thought differently. Coming from my mom, it was funny because the woman is practically hairless, so it was easy for her to say that. My aunt, on the other hand, was truly Read More
