I have come across too many couples sharing social media accounts, and I am so baffled. It does not bother me at all, but it does confuse me. I keep trying to figure out why two people have to be a couple even on social media? So instead of continuously pondering about it every time I see another jointly-owned social media account, I figured I could just write about it. And if you are one of the people sharing an account with your significant other, please do enlighten me. I'm Read More
I have to preface this post by first saying that I am not a fan of the [former] Olori of Ife. And this is all because of that time she came to America to talk nonsense about gender equality.

It smells great, it glides on easily, and it doesn't leave that nasty white residue. And to be clear, I use only the clear gel, never the invisible solid. I have tried Read More
*Mail has been edited for spelling and grammar* Dear Vera, I'm a long time I'm a long time reader of your blog and we know each other through a mutual friend.

I'm advanced in age (close to 40) and still single and childless. All of my friends are either married or have children. Honestly, I want to be married, but I have not met the Read More
