Vera Goes To Miami, Florida

Vera Goes To Miami, Florida

I know, I know. I just got back from Florida last week for Arinze's wedding. This time, I'm going to a different part of Florida. I'm going to Miami for Uju's graduation. My dear friend finished Med School last year, and now, it's time to walk the stage and snag that degree. I don't have the words to say how proud I am of this girl. She's just too much. I love you, Obianuju! I'll be travelling with Igwe and Funmie. Our flight is later this evening, and I'm grateful for the evening flight. My Read More

How To Pick The Perfect Foundation

I am not an expert in the department of beauty essentials or foundation discovery and/or application. This post is written based on my own experience and opinion, so take from it what you think may apply to you. I started using Lancomé back in 2008 after I attended a free Lancomé thingy where they made my face up and made me look all pretty.

My Weekend Recount: Arinze’s Wedding Was Craaazzzzzyyyyy!

This weekend recount is a week late. It's from my trip to Tampa for Arinze's wedding. First of all, I missed my flight. Wait till you hear why I missed it. I was seated comfortably at Gate B1, flipping through my magazine and imagining myself buying expensive items that I currently cannot afford. An $846 pair of flip flops? Sure. Meanwhile, at Gate B3, my flight was boarding. By the time I realized I was at the wrong gate, my flight was reversing and leaving without me, and I was running to Read More

Game Of Thrones: The Rains Of Castamere

Spoiler alert! If you have not watched this episode (Season 3, Episode 9) and plan to watch it, then please exit this post right now. For your entertainment, you should read this other post about kissing before marriage. This is the first time I'm putting up a whole post dedicated to Game Of Thrones, and it's for good reason. I started watching this show two years ago when I was bored and decided to see what series HBO had. I watched the first episode of Season 1 and I had to watch the next. Read More

Ladies, Let’s Talk About Going Out With Your Sleeping Cap

I don't know if this is a new trend or if I just started noticing it, but all I know is that everywhere I go, there are women - Black women - walking around with sleeping caps on their heads. These women can be found at Walmart, at the gas station, at the pharmacy, driving on the road, at the mall, and every damn where in between. What is going on??? You see, the thing about the sleeping cap is that it is actually meant for sleeping. What that means is that you put it on your head when you Read More
