Verastic

Recklessly authentic.

Ada Verastic Still Won’t Sleep In Her Bed. Technically.

Ada Verastic

My little human just turned 8 months old a week ago; hard to believe that 8 months have passed already. Although I don't remember where, I've probably mentioned this somewhere already that before we had Ada Verastic, we bought her a nice crib. It was not the most expensive, but it cost about $400. It took us about six hours, I think, to set it up. I had no idea that cribs came with so many parts, and as much as I don't like it, America is determined to turn me into a DIYer. Anyway, when we Read More

Summer Is For Traveling (And For Heat)

HAWAIIAN Tropic Silk Hydration™ Weightless Sunscreen

How many times have I mentioned just how much I loathe the summer heat? It's not the summer that I loathe, but the heat that comes with it. If I have to pick between winter and summer, I'll pick winter. No second thoughts. However, I can claim to like winter all I want, but winter does not let me be great. Summer has something that winter does not have a lot of: traveling, parties, weddings, cookouts, graduations, and yes, fun. It's not that winter has no events, but summer just has so much Read More

I No Longer Wash My Panties In The Morning

I No Longer Wash My Panties In The Morning

It is amazing how much changes with time. One of my favorite things on this blog is reading old blog posts and measuring just how much I have changed, if any. Take for example, this panties issue. It does not seem like it, but it has been four years since I wrote about how I HAD TO wash my panties in the morning. Morning = whenever I take a shower, even if it's at night. As I explained in my post four years ago, I attended boarding school for one semester in St. Louis College, Jos (hello SL Read More

Why The Olori Of Ife Was Wrong About Gender Equality

Olori of Ife

The Olori of Ife just said some things that have left me speechless. Before the new Ooni of Ife was crowned, I had never heard of the Ooni of Ife. After his coronation, I remember watching a video of him talking about why it's important for us to buy Nigerian. He talked about Nigerians not being proud of products that are made in Nigeria, and he basically said a lot of things that I liked and agreed with. I judged him as being a progressive king, a man in a traditional position who embraced Read More

Let Me Tell You About My Friend, Lilian Ifemeludike

Let Me Tell You About My Friend, Lilian Ifemeludike

I want to tell you about my good friend, Lilian Ifemeludike. We went to secondary school together in Nigeria (St. Louis College, Jos). I don't remember if we were always in the same classroom, but we were in the same class, and as time went on, we got to know each other more. Although Lilian and I were not BFFs, we did know each other well enough. She was always that girl - the one who was obviously open to things beyond her. Young and naive (and listening too much to my boy cousin who in Read More
