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

I was scrolling through Instagram when my phone suddenly went off, came back on, went off, and came Read More
Do The Wars Scare You?
I'm not one to say that the world has changed, or that crazy things are now happening, or that all the problems of the world are a sign of the end times. I don't believe that the problems now are suddenly a sign of the end time. I believe that they have always been signs. Basically, there's nothing new under the sun. The things that are happening now have always happened. They're just now more pronounced and they happen differently. For example, nations have always fought each other. At one Read More
Shoe Crush: Aminah Abdul Jillil Bow Pump
My Sweet Potatoes, these shoes have been chasing me in my dreams. I dream of owning them. I dream of wearing them.

Oh, my good Lord, I want them BADLY. But they cost $215. Each. If you are reading this post right now, please know that this is a sign from the good God Almighty that you should buy me one (or both) of these shoes. Read More
