The reason for this secrecy was because I have a habit of telling people of my embarkments, and most times not following through. Like, a couple of years ago, I was moving to Portugal. I started learning the language, researching…
Yesterday, everyone on my Facebook feed was hype about the trailer of Hidden Figures starring Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe; an untold true story of black, female scientists at NASA. I’ve never seen so many proclamations of being first in line to buy tickets since the last Star Wars was released. Which is…

Bonjour mes amies! When I was studying French way back in college, my professors would always say the best way to learn was to immerse yourself in French entertainment.

Years ago, I had a blog called A Day in the Life of a Libra where I would write about my everyday. The last series of continuous entries dates back to 2011/2012, around the time I moved to New York. It’s so interesting reading of all the hilarious, awkward, and sometimes depressing things that transpired, the…

I’ve never seen a James Bond film, but when Spectre came out, I was eager to see Naomie Harris walk those red carpets. Every ensemble ever worn has been one to make you look twice. Whether it’s sitting front row at a fashion show or walking the park in a headwrap and chucks or attending a fancy…
Apparently, facial sheet masks have become the new alternative to in-salon facials. And though so many brands have their own sheet mask, I don’t think I ever tried one until of recent. As beauty brands always seem to be one-upping or bopping off one another, it’s hard to decide whether to go with a) the…
