Welcome to April. And just like that, March, too, is over. March was an eventful month. For starters, Igwe and I became god parents to Solachi's 3rd baby, Amaka. See her pictures and read about it HERE. Unlike February that sped past me with a blur, March had a number of days where all I wanted to do was stay in bed. I didn't want to work. I didn't want to blog. I didn't want to do anything. There were times that I didn't want to take a shower sef, and I cannot confirm or deny if I Read More
Let Me Tell You About My Yoruba Neighbor, Kemi
Ehn ehn [in high pitched voice like my mommy], Ndi Yoruba relax, I am not here to disrespect your korshor (culture). So remember my neighbor, Tatiana? Well, she's been gone since 2014, thank God. She was a nuisance. Now, I want to tell you about my Yoruba neighbor, Kemi. I don't know how long she's been my neighbor, and she lives in the building next to mine (no, she didn't take Tatiana's space), but Kemi makes my heart go paulina-paulina. She makes it yori yori. She makes it go kpo kpo di kpo Read More
Curves Need Love, A Plus Size Tankini Shows Your Assets

There’s a limited amount of styles for anyone who isn't exactly a size four and the salespeople are often clueless about how to dress a plus size figure. Add that to the fact that swimwear is only available in the peak summer months, and you might as well stay home. If you've ever found yourself sad and discouraged while wrestling with an ugly outdated swimsuit in a department store changeroom, there Read More
Do You Kiss With Your Morning Breath?
Something I have noticed on television is how couples wake up in the morning and start kissing. I'm not talking about just a little peck on the lips, but like full blown kissing, tongue and all. I know that on television, they don't actually have bad breath cause they're just acting. But it makes me wonder, are there people who wake up and swap spit with their spouse? Yuck. I wish you could see my face as I type this post. As you may have guessed already, I do not kiss in the morning! I Read More
Suffering From Writer’s Block
I feel bad that I didn't put up a post yesterday, and I feel worse because yesterday was Monday. I am so unmotivated right now. All I want to do is stay in bed and stare at the ceiling. I don't want to write. I don't want to read. My to-do list has been getting longer because I have not been scratching anything off. This past Saturday, I woke up at about 11:00 AM, ate a mango, spoke to Solachi on the phone for a while, and then slept till almost 5:00 PM. I didn't eat dinner till Read More
