I Admire Strong Women Like Demetria Lucas

I Admire Strong Women Like Demetria Lucas

I remember when there was a lot of heavy promotion for Bravo TV's new reality series, Blood, Sweat,  & Heels. I didn't pay it too much mind, but then, when I discovered that one of the stars of the show - Demetria Lucas - is a blogger, I became determined to watch it at least once. I'm usually instantly interested in things that relate to bloggers. So I finally watched the show on Sunday night. I didn't go to bed till about 3am because I  binge-watched all the episodes on OnDemand (there Read More

Facebook Will Buy What’s App For $19 Billion, And I’m Still Not A Millionaire

Facebook Will Buy What’s App For $19 Billion, And I’m Still Not A Millionaire

Once again, I am confronted with a large sum of money that is too big for me to even understand. $19 billion??? What does that even mean --- and when can I experience some of this? I'm not asking for $19 billion. I am not even asking for $1 billion. I'll proudly and happily be a millionaire, and I will have everything I want, plus more. I'm not greedy. Amazing that what I might consider a simple app is worth this much money. And I cannot help but wonder, what does it do that makes it so Read More

iCook: Fried Stew + White Rice With Johnsonville Andouille Sausages

I cooked! You know I love making up new foods. Well this time, in honor of Mardi Gras (which is coming up!), I went for regular Nigerian fried stew with fully cooked Andouille Sausage from Johnsonville, which is one of their Split Rope Sausage flavors. This sausage, from Johnsonville, is unlike most other sausage in its category.To start,  it's fully cooked and packs great flavor but unlike most other fully cooked sausage, Johnsonville uses absolutely no fillers which is how their sausages get Read More

Ladies, What Do You Think About A Man Paying For Your First Date With A GroupOn Coupon?

Ladies, What Do You Think About A Man Paying For Your First Date With A GroupOn Coupon?

Igwe and I have been arguing over this for the past 48 hours, and we still don't agree. I don't even remember how we got into this conversation. Igwe believes that there's absolutely nothing wrong with a man paying for a first date with a GroupOn/Living Social coupon, especially if it's for something expensive - like one of those hard-to-get-into restaurants that might cost about $500 for food. I, on the other hand, completely disagree. I think that using coupons  is one of those things you save Read More

That Time My Mommy Found A Porn DVD In My Bedroom

That Time My Mommy Found A Porn DVD In My Bedroom

Of all the awkward situations I'd rather never have with my mother, this is definitely high up there. My friend, Solachi (Busola) got married in 2007. But before she got married, we had a surprise bridal shower for her. At this bridal shower, one of her friends gave her about 3 or 4 porn DVDs to prepare her for marriage (she was a virgin). Out of curiosity, we - Uju, Solachi, and I - decided to watch a couple of them. I remember we watched one in Uju's house, and then somehow, I ended up with Read More
