If you haven’t watched Tyler Perry’s movie “A Fall From Grace” on Netflix and plan to, stop reading this now, because we’re moving into peak spoilerdom from here on in. If you have watched it, you either heard of or saw the horrible wigs, the extras giving the main characters the side eye or staring…
Empathy, Feeling Nostalgic and Coming to Terms with Reality
It’s been a week since the world, sporting and otherwise, was shocked by the sudden deaths of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven other persons, including parents and their children, in a horrific helicopter crash. Like many, I was deeply affected by the incident in a way that I didn’t expect, especially for people…
Jamaica Vacation with a Dash of Carnival
This post is long overdue. A little over a month ago I visited one of my favourite places on earth, Jamaica, to spend some much needed chill out time and to slip in a few carnival events. Jamaica is an absolutely gorgeous country, the food is addictive and the vibe is just, well, a vibe. There’s…
Game of Thrones Season 8, Series Finale Review
It’s over…….waaaaahhhh, sniff! Lol. It’s the end of an era, our watch has ended, the lord of light has come for his people, blah, blah, yakkity schmakitty. On a serious note, I will miss looking forward to Sunday nights for this show. I already gave my thoughts on how I feel about this season and generally…
Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 5 Review
*SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* Whoo chile! I don’t know how else to sum up Episode 5. Definitely, um, polarising, with what seems like more fans than not blasting it for a number of reasons such as Daenerys’ seemingly sudden turn to full-on wacko, the Lannister twins’ deaths in the rubble as opposed…
Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 4 Review
*SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* Sooo, after last night there are two more episodes in this beloved but more recently very heavily critiqued series.

Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 3 Review
*SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* WOW. I was unable to watch this episode on Sunday night but made up for that last night and again this afternoon to make sure I was clear on everything that happened. I hollered, my jaw scraped the floor and I even shed actual tears, *covers eyes*. In…
Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 2 Review
*SPOLIERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* This episode had me all in my feelings, Big Sigh. So many “aww” moments. This episode before the battle for Winterfell (Excited much!) was all about more reunions, possible goodbyes and finding the best ways to spend your last night on earth. As much as I love watching…
Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 1 Review
*SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* Last night’s first episode of the much anticipated Season 8 episode 1 was the Sandra Lee tablescape, so between next week Sunday and episode 3 I expect to be at the Guy Fieri chomping on the giant hamburger stage (for all my Food Network fans out there). Needless…
My Love Hate relationship with Fast Fashion and Online Shopping
I should have named this post, “Fast Fashion and Online Shopping for the Woman who is Two Inches away from Six Feet Tall”; but then y’all probably wouldn’t have read it. Too bad, y’all opened it and y’all gon’ read it. Whew chile! Fast Fashion is where the money is and where much of our…
