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. Did I ever think the day would come when "Tricky" would be booming through the speakers and Rev Run would be rapping along, right in front of me? No, but it happened anyway, and I enjoyed every bit of it. After he left, we still had about 45 minutes to network and chat among each other. I was sitting and chatting with a blogger with whom I had made an acquaintance the day before. And Read More

10 Lessons I Learned From Arianna Huffington At The BlogHer Conference

Before I knew anything about who would be at BlogHer, I had already made the decision to attend it. But when I found out that Arianna Huffington would be there, I couldn't wait to attend.

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

What Does My Fresh Citrus Listerine Say About Me?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Listerine. All opinions are 100% mine. When I first came to America (donkey years ago), I stayed with my uncle and aunty, and they swore by Listerine. I had never used Listerine before that, so the first time I used it, it was an acquired taste. But then I kept using it, and of course, the more I did, the more I loved it. Brushing my teeth just wasn't complete without using the Listerine mouth wash. Several years later, my routine has Read More

Vera Goes To San Jose, California (For The BlogHer Conference)

Today is D-Day! As you're reading this, I might already be in San Jose. I typed the post last night and scheduled it to come up today. It has been so hectic. I took off from my 9-5 job today so I could spend a couple hours getting ready for traveling. I ended up spending the entire day getting ready. Before I tell you about my day, I wanna show you my media kit. Woooot! I made it myself. It's two pages, and yes, I am giving it out in the slashed pocket folder. All na packaging abi? And can you Read More
