I Finally Launched My Business

Thank You

I told you briefly about this in my July journal, but now, I'll tell you more. Something wonderful and amazing happened to me at the Prudential Panel at the BlogHer15 conference. Before the panel started, I was a nervous wreck, as I always am when I'm about to speak in front of people. But it's a good kind of nervous wreck, I think. I do not go into a panic attack, nor do I pass out or just bolt. But I'm nervous about sitting or standing there with everyone looking at me. What if I make a Read More

Do You Use An Anti-Wrinkle Cream?

L'Oreal Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Day Cream Moisturizer & Night Cream

I remember when I was about 15 or 16 years old and I used to break out. I tried some products, but none of them really made any difference. Plus, I was never really faithful with them. So after a while, I just quit them all. It was years later that I realized that all those blemishes had magically erased themselves.  That's what happens when you're a teenager. I am no longer a teenager, so my skin isn't the same. I do not have a pimple problem, and I do not have wrinkles either, but Read More

My Weekend Recount: Blogalicious Conference In Baltimore + 5 Lessons I Took Away

Second day look at Blogalicious blog conference #byoe15

Sooo, it was the Blogalicious blog conference this past weekend, and the theme was, Build Your Own Empire. Although I had heard about Blogalicious before, this was the first time I attended their conference.

Usually, I type a Vera Goes post when I'm travelling, but there was no travelling involved. Igwe tried to encourage me to stay Read More

Journal #8: August 2015

Journal #8: August 2015

Welcome to September. We are now in the “mber” months, which means one thing: Christmas is almost here AND we are about to enter a new year. Didn’t 2015 just start yesterday? Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to all that God has in store for me and my family. August was interesting for me. I didn’t make the power career moves I hoped to make, nor did I do anything news-worthy (in my opinion). I wish I had the same kind of news I had in July for you: attended another BlogHer conference, Read More

Will Smith Has A Terrible Nigerian Accent In Concussion And Nigerians Are Catching Feelings

There's a new movie coming out in December, called Concussion. The star of the movie is Will Smith, and he's playing the life of Nigerian forensic pathologist, Dr. Bennet Omalu who was the first doctor to discover the disease, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in NFL players. It's a disease that's gotten from constant trauma to the head. When he first discovered the disease (after doing an autopsy on Pittsburgh Steelers center, Mike Webster), the NFL basically shut him out and accused him of Read More
