Let’s just say, several. Perhaps too many. But I can’t help it! Team Susan all the way!

Issues
Kumusta!
I think I said it right…. I meant to extend greetings and welcome to my friends in the Philippines! I got a lovely little shout out in a beauty blog feature on Manila Standard Today. Hooray! And in stateside press news, the gals in the Beauty Department of Lucky Magazine also showed Afrobella some link…
GoDaddy Problems
Hello there everyone! We’ve been having extensive problems with our web host (GoDaddy) since a server migration they did last week. Please bear with us, as we are in the process of moving Afrobella over to a new host. You’ve probably noticed that there are very few images on the site – GoDaddy has locked…
Afrobella’s Miami
I’m so behind on Ask Afrobellas, and just catching up with life after my road trip. So forgive me — I’m about to smush two Ask Afrobella answers into one. But they’re both very similar and give me the opportunity to show love to the city I’ve called home for the past OMG-I-can’t-believe-it 11 years….
Rockin’ the Red Pump
Even though this bella is an avowed wearer of flat shoes, just for today I’m rockin’ a pair of red pumps — all in the name of a righteous cause. Today is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, in 2005, women represented 26 percent…
The Makeup Counter in the Obama Era
This past Saturday I attended the third annual Women of Color event at Macy’s Aventura, and bellas let me tell you — it was a beautiful thing. I attended this event in its first year, and immediately saw its unlimited potential. It’s the one day of the year that the beauty department is filled with…
Ask Afrobella: Where to Wax in Miami?
Wow, I haven’t done an Ask Afrobella since 2008! And wow, I was dancing around my own future in the last one I wrote. My sincerest apologies to all of you who’ve asked questions in the interim. I’m going to rectify this ASAP, starting with a very local, very specific, very time-sensitive Ask Afrobella. This…
Calling All South Florida Bellas!
Got any plans this weekend? On Saturday I’ll be attending the Macy’s third Women of Color Makeup Event at Aventura Mall! It starts at 11 a.m., ends at 7 p.m., and there are presentations by famous makeup artists like Patrece Williams and fabulous afrofella Damone Roberts, AKA the Eyebrow King. And I’m totally getting a…
No More Excuses!
On my last 50 Million Pound Challenge post, I got called out in the comments by a friend who has known me for years. Shout out to E-Fresh for always keeping it real! Like everyone else, I hate admitting when someone is right, but le sigh…it’s true. Whenever I try to lose weight, I lock…
Lead Me Not Into Temptation
The 50 Million Pound Challenge continues, and I’ve been pretty proud of myself so far. Thanks to your delicious recipe recommendations, I made some yummy and nutritious soups to tide me over the wisdom teeth blues. Thank you, bellas! Recovery has led me to steer clear of the kind of foods that were doing me…
