I have been practicing yoga for the past 5 months, and it is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Seriously. The practice of yoga, which means “union,” first began thousands of years ago in Africa. It is a total workout for your mind, body and soul. I find it very [...]

Blended Thoughts: XXL Magazine + Jurnee Smollett
*I was doing my daily perusing of the black entertainment blogs and found out that Elliott Wilson has been sacked from XXL!

Always Remembering
My late father would have been 63 today. It was his birthday in 1945. Time has flown by so much and I really do miss him desperately. People say that daughters want to marry men who are like their dads. I truly miss him. The last ever area he worked in before he got sick [...]

The Queen Quandary
(note — my post contains *spoilers* about Elizabeth:The Golden Age)
Today I went to watch Elizabeth: The Golden Age. I am very interested in world history and I find Elizabeth as a woman fascinating. I have watched many films on her but Cate Blanchett is by far the best (in my opinion anyway). In the first [...]

Bossip doesn’t appreciate Black Hair

I think glamour is one of those attractions that many women search for when they go on diets, try and lose weight, buy makeup etc. Why are we so attracted to [...]

verbal molotov cocktails!
(cover seen @ think2wice)
Bought the September issue of ESSENCE at the newsagent yesterday (I am sure the US heads have already read it) but of course, yours truly needs to get her media sugar rushes. It has Jill Scott on the cover and it seems okay…so far (I’m looking 4wd to reading the Jill Scott [...]
