Though I enjoy being creative with makeup, for the past couple of years I have pretty much relied on lip gloss, as opposed to lipstick, to bring color and shine to my lovely lips. Yeah, I said it. Lovely. Summer 2011 has brought about a lipstick revolution though. All of a sudden, I’m [...]
As I sit here with a Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask on, I am reminded of the episode of Sex and the City in which the lead characters discussed their secret single woman behavior i.e. things that they do as single women living alone that they wouldn’t want their men to [...]
I’ve recently started buying and reading books on the things that I need to change the most in life: my relationships and my work life. Granted, I have precious little time to actually read, but since I’ve committed to doing monthly book reviews, that has helped ensure that I at least get [...]

I have to start off by saying, this is not one of those “woe is me” or “woe is the single, Black woman” posts. Though I used the word “blues,” I could just as well have used “concerns” or some other word, but it wouldn’t have the [...]

That little crush I had a [...]
I have three major crushes in life: Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Black Thought. Seriously. I wanna be where they are. Kweli responded to my tweet about this and it sent my heart a flutter. Recently though, I’ve developed a crush on someone that I’ve actually met. Nothing good can come of this. [...]
I just watched episode 16 of The Modern Day Matchmaker, ‘Don’t Bring Home a White Boy.’ As usual, Paul Carrick Brunson mixed in some humor with the message. If you haven’t watched this series before, be sure to check out his YouTube channel. His guest for this episode was Karyn Langhorne Folan, author [...]
