Heavy sigh. OK, here goes. I love doing Afrobella giveaways, and I try to host them as often as I can. Most of the time, they go extremely well — I review a product I like and I think is worth your attention, end my post with an offer for you lovely bellas to win…

Yikes – It’s Almost Mother’s Day!!
I knew this date was creeping up on me, but oh no — Mother’s Day is this Sunday and I am so not ready. I’m gonna have to hit the mall sometime this weekend — Mama Bella’s actually going to be here on Monday and I want the post-Mother’s Day shebang to be just as…
Robert Randolph Rocks!
I went to a great concert last night, and I just gotta shout about it — Robert Randolph and the Family Band are amazing! They opened for Eric Clapton, and for Clapton’s finale, Robert Randolph joined him on stage for a blistering duet of “I Got My Mojo Workin’.” Seeing the two guitar gods exchange…
You Thirsty?
Liquid calories have always been my downfall. It’s been an issue my whole life — I’ve never enjoyed plain ol’ drinking water, and when I reach for a beverage, it always has to be some kind of flavored thing that’s probably bad for me. But I’m struggling to stay away from soda, and to lighten…
The Pinch in Your Pocket
Cost of living get so high, Rich and poor, they start a cry. Now the weak must get strong. They say, “Oh, what a tribulation.” Bob Marley dropped Them Belly Full (But We Hungry) in 1974 and the lyrics still hold so true today. Things are getting tougher and tougher everywhere you look. My sister…

Too much politics gets me down, bellas. Time to lighten up with a shoe post! I don’t know how the weather is where you’re living, but for me in Miami, it feels like summer already. It isn’t quite at the point where I feel like I’m melting as soon as I open the door to…
Wright or Wrong
I’ve been wondering when the Reverend Jeremiah Wright was going to speak out against the endless looping of his most controversial sermon. Finally his time has come. I just caught the tail end of his question-and-answer session, which CNN described as “a little bit heated.” An audience member asked him if he was unpatriotic. “I…

Happy Earth Day To Ya!
Green is the color of the month, and today is the ultimate day to express your environmental concerns. It’s Earth Day! Lots of beauty and fashion retailers understand that for some, being green is already a way of life. For others, a little encouragement by way of sales, giveaways, and discounts, goes a long way….
The Afrobella Guide to the Florida Keys
Hello, bellas and fellas! I’m back, and this is where I spent most of my last weekend. On the beach in the fabulous Florida Keys! This year will mark a decade that I’ve lived in Miami, and consequently, I’ve gone on many a jaunt down to the Keys. We typically go camping in Big Pine…
