About Last Weekend: Lancôme Jazzed Me Again

About Last Weekend: Lancôme Jazzed Me Again

Back in 2008, Lancôme was doing a free makeup session by "Tommy," and I went because it was free. I had no intention to buy anything, but nothing wrong with getting made up for free. That was how I went there and loved Lancôme so much that I ended up using it. It's been 6 years, and I have never gone back [Read that post here]. Not only have I not left Lancôme, I have actually tried to leave (for no reason) by finding something else that works just as good. I got samples from a bunch of brands, Read More

To All The Snails In The World, Please Forgive Me

To All The Snails In The World, Please Forgive Me

I don't remember whether or not I have blogged about this before. But I feel the need to confess my transgressions. A long, long time, I was mean to snails. I was still in Jos at this time. I don't remember exactly how old I was, but maybe between 9 and 13, I don't know. There were lots of snails in my area. I should mention right now that I do not eat snails. I did not eat them at that time, I don't eat them now, and I don't foresee myself eating them in the nearest or farthest future. They Read More

I’m Thinking About Perming My Hair

I’m Thinking About Perming My Hair

And I'm thinking about cutting it, too *covers face and runs away* Let me explain. I have recently been fantasizing about doing something different with my hair. All my life, I have never done anything special. I have braided it, permed it, sewn weaves on it, put wigs on it, and kept it natural. That's it. That's all I've done. I have never cut my hair for the purpose of changing its style, nor have I ever, ever dyed it. The only times I cut my hair were (1) when I went from elementary to Read More

Blogging Tip: Pay Your Dues

Blogging Tip: Pay Your Dues

Bloggers, show of hands if you'd like to become something from blogging. Whether it's rich, famous, relevant, or all three. Everyone wants this? Well, me, too! There are bloggers who just want to blog for fun and have no interest in monetizing their blogs, but for most of us, we want something out of blogging. For me specifically, I want to be rich and famous. And very, very relevant. I know it's usually funny when I say I want to be rich and famous, but if only you knew how serious I am. Now, I Read More

Pre-Wedding On Verastic: Ada & Manre

Pre-Wedding On Verastic: Ada & Manre

Ladies and Gentlemen of Verastic, I am too, too proud to introduce Ada and Manre to you, our first Verastic couple. I have never met any of these lovely people in person, but I e-knew them online individually, before they knew each other. So when I found out that they started dating, it felt so special to me, and when I found out they were engaged and planning a wedding, I did mental back flips. Ada and Manre met on Twitter.  Ada said ... Manre and I met mid 2010 on twitter. Lol. We tweeted Read More
