Everyone has some food or drink that they just love. Some people like eating a particular food, and some people like a particular snack, or a particular fruit, or maybe even a particular cocktail. For me, I just always want to drink something sweet, but I don't want to drink all the sugar. And I love the fizz that comes with sodas. So how do I get everything I want and none of anything I don't want? Sparkling ICE waters!I discovered Sparking ICE at Walmart one day. I was busy minding my Read More
I’m Inspired By My Future
When I was a child, I had very big dreams. I grew up as an only child, so I never knew what it was like to have siblings. I didn't have competition, and apart from my parents, I didn't really have anyone else to look up to or be inspired by. I wanted so many things. I wanted to be a lawyer. I wanted to own a clothing store. I wanted to be medical doctor. I wanted to be a fashion designer. I wanted to own several cars, especially a red convertible car. When I used to dream as a child and even as Read More
Dope Movie Reminds Me Of My Own Coming Of Age
Have you heard of the DOPE movie? You must have. It's been getting my attention for a long time. And when I heard that Pharrell Williams and Forrest Whitaker were part of it, too, I became even more interested.

It's written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa - yes, a Nigerian American. But before we give him a Nigerian passport Read More
Are You Pitch Perfect, Too?
Did you see the first Pitch Perfect? I did, and I loved it. Even Igwe saw it and loved it, too. Well, the second part is finally coming out, and guess who's a sponsor? Schick Women's Shave! It was only a few days ago that I put up a post about shaving, sponsored by Schick Women's Shave. I don't know about you, but for me, I am really excited to go see Pitch Perfect 2. Apart from the perfect pitch from the stars - pun intended, there's also the never-ending comedy. The awesome movie, Pitch Read More
Shaved Legs Save Lives!
Well, not literally. I have mentioned on this blog before how when I started shaving my legs, my mom (who is practically hairless) and my aunt (who is nothing close to being hairless) both told me that I was ruining my natural beauty by shaving my legs. I thanked them for their unsolicited opinion, and I kept on shaving those legs. Back then, however, I did it mostly when I was going to be wearing a skirt and pretty constantly during the summer because I wanted people [READ: BOYS] to see and Read More
