  • Get a grip. Or not.

    Get a grip. Or not.

    This afternoon when I saw Blavity’s latest newsletter, this story caught my eye. Apparently Beyoncé had a post-Grammys party. Harry Styles was there. He put his feet up on a table, and some folks thought it was disrespectful…? Can we all take a breath? (And if you look closely, his foot isn’t actually on the…

  • The Bachelor

    Let me give a moment to something I love to hate. Reality TV. That branch of media that reminds me of a regrettable friendship. So many of us have them. You know…The person we thought we could hang out with, but wound up running from…Sort of like a misogynist who finds himself trapped in a…

  • Nice list.

    I can’t help wondering if I could make a better one. Subtle sexiness is definitely a thing.

  • Nudes you can use.

    I don’t always have easy access to a mall with a MAC counter. Places like Walmart are closer. Hence, earlier this summer, this video from African Export saved me. For some reason, I couldn’t find the mauve or red shades that she mentioned. But if you’re a medium-brown toned black woman looking for a neutral…

  • MAC Attack: “The More You Know” Edition

    In 2013, I intend to have a new life. One phase of my plan involves going back to school. I’ll discuss what I am going to study down the road once I’ve been accepted. In the meantime, I’m in the process of trying to take better care of myself. I have been considering my appearance.…

  • YES!!! Game of Thrones – Season 3

    Are you ready? I’m hyped and I haven’t even seen Season 2.

  • Christmas comes but TWICE a year.

    So the other night I was looking at an episode of Castle. I couldn’t help notice that it ended with what sounded like a…William Shatner song. Dork that I am, I ran to iTunes. Little did I know the REAL treat that awaited me. Check out the screen shot: There’s something about good old-fashioned, bad-ass…

  • “Tim-O-thee?” / “PRE-sent.”

    As a substitute teacher, the one thing I hate is messing up students’ names. But man…This video turns the mispronunciation game on its head. There’s a bit of NSFW language here folks…Still…Enjoy!!

  • “Pew, pew, pew!!”

    I still haven’t seen The Avengers. But this video makes me wish I had.

  • Kids these days…

    Today I sat in on a class of Grade 9s. They were hyper, but lovely. Check out the response after I tried to tell a student that something he’d said was false… Student A: That’s not a lie, that’s a fib. Me: Actually, they’re both together, under [gesturing] a big umbrella called Dishonesty. Student B:…
