Thursday was Valentine’s Day, and it’s such an over-the-top, retail-driven celebration. You either love it or you hate it. I personally enjoy it, but this year we were too busy to even celebrate Valentine’s Day on Valentine’s Day. Today is my V-Day, so I’d like to wish a happy belated day of love to everyone!…

A Valentine’s Wish, Before It’s Over
So yeah, I totally missed the opportunity to post my big Valentine’s beauty product post. Busy isn’t even the word to describe me this week, so I haven’t had the time to finish any of the half-baked messages of love I’ve been writing. It’ll pop up, better late than never (that’s what I keep telling…
Forgetful Jones
I’ve had a crazier week than normal, so I have been a bit more forgetful than usual. For example, I was on NPR’s News and Notes blogger’s roundtable on Monday, and I completely forgot to post it and let you all know. Mea culpa. Please click here if you’d like to hear my two cents…
Worth a Click — Unique Chic
You know my style by now — I love clothes, accessories, and shoes that are both classic and quirky, funky and functional items that come from smaller boutique businesses. I’ve been keeping an eye out for the kinds of fly items any afrobella would love to get in a heart-shaped box for Valentine’s Day. Here…
Throwback Thursday — Randy Crawford
I know I got all political on you yesterday, but it’s still Throwback Thursday, right? Wait, what did you say? It’s Friday? Oh. Well, better late than never, right? Do you have a singer who you just wish you could open your mouth and sound just like them? Kind of corny, I know… but I’ve…
Throwback Thursday — Miss Jackson
I was pretty psyched to see the video for Janet Jackson’s new single, Feedback — it made its debut on BET this week, and has been all over the internet, quick, watch before they take the link down again. The video is an intergalactic romp that ends with Janet and co. dancing in what looks…
Throwback Thursday and the Soaptopia Contest Winners!
My sincerest apologies to those of you who entered the Soaptopia giveaway! I got caught up in the holidays, and also – I really prefer not to post the NEXT giveaway before I’ve heard from everyone in the previous giveaway. Having said that — there’s a Nail Aid winner and a Body Shop glam winner…
Worth a Click — the Holiday edition
No, this isn’t my kitty, Max. But it could be, if I got him a present from Kitty Wigs for Christmas! By the way, since he scampered into my life, I’ve become a total cat dork who LOLs at I Can Has Cheezeburger and everything. This is how dorky I’ve become — last weekend I…
Toes Done Up (With The Fingernails Matching)
I’ve been digging Kid Sister’s Pro Nails for more than a minute now, and finally there’s a video! I think it’s adorable. It makes me want to hit the salon and get my toes done up. With the fingernails matching! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIYfBIw-QbM I love the finger dancing but I must say, some of those manicures are…
Happy Xmas (We Miss You)
My goal in sharing this video isn’t to make you cry, although it just might do that. It certainly made me weep like a baby. My goal is to celebrate the spirit of John Lennon, dead almost three decades ago as of yesterday. Please be forewarned, the video features graphic and tragic images. If you’re…
