Authentic conversations about culture, motherhood, divorce, black excellence, humor, and style!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ideal Image. All opinions are 100% mine. Remember when I put up the post about wanting to get the laser treatment from Ideal Image for my bikini? I bet you thought I was just joking, right? Well, I wasn't. It's set up, and I'm doing the darn thing. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I've never had a laser treatment before, but I am looking forward to the final result. There are two things that scare me most: (1) What kind of Read More

I have told you before about how I dump my bra when I come home, but now I'm going to share where my bra goes in a day. Why? Because of women who do.

Igwe asked me, as he often does, "What are you blogging about?" Sometimes I tell him what I'm blogging about, and other times, I tell him that he has to wait and see. This time, I said, "I'm typing a sponsored post for Stayfree® pads about what makes me feel better and feel comfortable during my period."

And he told me Read More
