Red Carpet Flops At The Golden Globes

Red Carpet Flops At The Golden Globes

So it seems third time’s the charm for Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, who got their “final” stint as big-time award hosts at last night’s 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards. I hear they did a stellar job and the night had more than it’s fair share of touching and memorable moments.

I wont say much else, but I just came across some of the red carpet pictures from last night 2015 Golden Globe Awards.

S*%t.

XO Me

Dear friend

I am writing this to you to let you know that it is okay. Really it is. Always.

Life is harder than they will tell you, decisions are a nightmare and you will rarely know the right thing to do, but that’s okay. Living is for making mistakes and the more you make, the more you learn. As long as you are following your heart, you cannot go wrong. Even when you do. Also, when you make a…

16 Things Black People Wish They Could Explain To Their White Friends

16 Things Black People Wish They Could Explain To Their White Friends

Originally posted on Mukoko:

Over the years, there is one observation I’ve made about black people in various social situations. Amongst fellow black people, we don’t feel the need to explain ourselves; we just ‘get’ each other, even if we’re from different cultural backgrounds. When you’re a black person amongst white people though, there seem to be a million bajillion things you have to…

I got robbed.

Saturday. On the eve of Africa Day. The midday sun at its highest and brightest. Plenty of weekend hipsters, part time cool kids and once off tourists milling about. Thieves broke into my car stealing from the boot a bag which held a lap top with my would be Caine Prize winning work, a camera with the sweetest of memories, a cell phone, bank…

Tribute: To A Phenominal Woman

Tribute: To A Phenominal Woman

Maya Angelou 1928 – 2014

  I know a lot’s been said about her in the last day or so, but it would be a huge injustice if I did not take some time to pay tribute to our dear Dr Maya Angelou.

It was with a heavy heart that I read the news of her passing, having been the one woman who made me want to write in the first place.

I have always been an avid reader, but it was not until, at 15 when I did…

Lil’ Fashionistas

It’s Fashion Friday again!!!!!

A long time ago, perhaps in another life time, children spent the entirety of their days outside, getting dirty, playing in mud puddles, climbing trees, skinning knees and eating mud pies.

So understandably, fashion was the domain of the teens and adults, but things have changed, and children’s fashion is carving a new niche in a fast expanding market that was once…

Elie Saab - Designer of My Dreams

Elie Saab – Designer of My Dreams

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Fashion Fridays post but today is that day!

Profile: Elie Saab

Reason: Because he is freaking awesome!!

I’ve never been one to follow fashion so closely as to recognize designer’s outfits and signatures and the like, but Elie Saab changed all that for me. It was easy to recognize his work simply because I loved every single thing he made.

Here are some…

The Secret To Happy Boobs

The Secret To Happy Boobs

  Uhm….oops

I have been in a love-hate relationship with my breasts since they were naught but buds.

At 12, all my friends had them, so I prayed real hard and BOOM, little buds appeared.

These buds grew and grew and GREW and GREW until overnight, I had sprouted a fully-grown woman’s chest, so at 14 I was praying for “a little bit less please!”.

By 24 I had finally grown into them, but I was…
