Yes, 90 seconds. While I may not have wrinkles and fine lines yet and so cannot testify to the frustration of finding (or not finding) the right products, what I can definitely testify to is the frustration in finding the perfect product because there are just too many. And, of course, every one promises they're the best. But if I were using a serum for wrinkles and soft lines, I would want it to work immediately because who wants to grow more wrinkles while trying to soften the already Read More
TV Show To Watch: Tyrant On FX
If you enjoy watching shows like Homeland, or if you enjoy watching movies like Taken, then you'll probably love Tyrant. It's set in the Middle East, in a fictional country called, Abuddin.

She Asked Me If Nigeria Was On Another Planet
At the closeout party at the BlogHer Conference, Rev Run was on the 1s and 2s, and it was just wonderful.

My recap is entirely too long to put in one post, and because I imagine that you are like me, I do not burden you with extremely long posts because when I open a post with 100 paragraphs, I freak out and close the page. This one, therefore, will only have 99 paragraphs. As I mentioned in my previous post, this BlogHer conference was my first blogging conference of any kind, and Read More
