  • Hair Boredom: What To Do When You Need Something New

    Hey y’all! I got a few posts out this week, but still feel neglectful! I had an assignment due for one of the classes I’m taking this semester (I’m finishing up a post-grad certificate in Health Promotion), so I had to devote a lot of research and writing time to that.   I...
  • No One's More Youer Than You: A Lesson In Self-Confidence

    On Saturday, I joined the world in watching the homegoing of Whitney Houston. So many thoughts and feelings flickered through my mind and heart, but one thought hit me square in the middle of my head like a dart, and I haven’t been able to shake it. What would it mean to be truly secure with y...

  • Intuition, Shmintuition: Do You Trust Yours?

    So, I'm still off with the flu, but feel like I'm finally on the upswing now. I only woke up once through the night. I haven't thrown up in 24 hours. I have one fully functioning nostril. My head only feels like it's half full of cotton balls. I feel like standing on my balcony and belting out "Feel...

  • "Yes, I Eat": A Rant From A Part-Time Victoria's Secret Model

    So, I watched the Victoria's Secret fashion show last night, and it was some nice eye candy! Definitely got some Mas-playing vibes from a few of the costumes, so I'm hoping our Caribana (yes, I'm still calling it that) costume designers picked up on the same thing!   Anyways, as I watched the...
  • Help Me, Help You: 3 Easy Charity Moves For The Holidays

    So, I have to admit: I am NOT in the holiday spirit. At all.   As I've gotten older, it's taken me longer and longer to get into the groove, but this year feels different. I've gained a husband, but I've lost a cousin and friend. We'll see how things go when the first snow falls here in Toron...
  • Vision Boards: Getting Goals Out Of Your Head & Into Action

    Well, it's about that time...when everyone realizes that the year is almost over, and wonders where 2011 went. It's also that time when everyone starts looking forward to the year ahead, wishing and hoping for bigger and better in their lives. I usually find that people (myself included) have two co...

  • What Would You Say To The Younger You?

    Did any of you watch the Black Girls Rock Awards that aired on BET recently? If not, you know how BET is - they'll run that joint over and over, so I'm sure you'll be able to catch it some evening when they aren't playing Soul Plane or that Christmas movie with Gabby Union and Morris Chestnut. &nbs...

  • Bee's Favourite (Hair) Things: Coconut Oil!

    Remember when Oprah would do her biannual "Favourite Things" show? Aside from praying that I'd somehow score tickets to one of those shows, I'd always love to watch from home to see how passionate Oprah was about giving away her new favourite finds.   I figured I could do my own "Favourite Th...
