I went to Walmart the other day to buy my lotion (Jergens Shea Butter something ... can't remember the full name) when I noticed that a jar of cream was locked up. It was the Palmer's one. I picked it up and stared at it. I thought it was funny because why would you lock up a jar of cream, and what even made this particular cream so special? That was when I noticed that there were a lot of locked creams. And they all had one thing in common: they were all for dry skin. Which now begs the Read More
Ladies, Do You (Or Would You) Snoop On Your Man?
Over the weekend, I came across an article on Punch Magazine that quoted Toke Makinwa as having allegedly said that women should snoop on their men because men are wicked. I don't know if she actually said this, and if she did, I don't know when: before or after everyone and their mama found out about her husband's cheating.

Apart from the heat, which has been a thorn in my flesh, I'd say that July has been a pretty darn good month. Speaking of July - AKA the hottest month of the summer - my air conditioner wasn't working properly and I didn't know it. We were both hot and sweating, but we both thought it wasn't maintaining the cool temperature because it was so hot Read More
Dear American People, About Cecil The Lion
The biggest news around the world last week was that a beloved Zimbabwean lion, Cecil was killed for sport by an American dentist from Minnesota, Dr. Walter Palmer. Palmer left America and flew down to Zimbabwe where he allegedly paid $50,000 to some hunting locals to help him acquire the right permit(s) to hunt. They lured Cecil out of the national park with a carcass, shot him with a bow and arrow, then tracked him and killed him. And beheaded him, too. The world - and by that, I mean America Read More
