All the cool kids are doing it

I Want Candy

This business paid a fee to be listed on Mocha Momma because they feel their products are a good fit with my readers. Also, I read the Holiday Guide from Dylan’s Candy Bar and actually used it to pre-order gifts that I paid for. You’re not required to read it, but there *is*sugar involved. Even [...]

This Is Not Really About Cake

I’m not going to put anyone personally on blast and I’m sparingly linking in this post because the larger context  is more important than pointing fingers and forcing one person or a community to answer for what I’m feeling passionate about right now. However, I am using some of the wording I’ve seen written about [...]

Wasn’t I Supposed To Write a Recap of BlogHer?

Look at some of you people! You’ve written two or three follow up posts to BlogHer already and here it is Thursday and I’ve been hounded by several close friends to write a post already! I’ll be honest. When I was contacted about possibly interviewing Glee’s Jane Lynch while I was out in San Diego [...]

Summertime Swing

I’ve found a new website. I’m redesigning this one. FINALLY. It’s taking forever. But this is a short post just to say that summer is ending far too soon, I’m using “grok” a lot these days when I talk to people, and that there are interesting things on the horizon. Stay tuned. Summertime Swing by [...]

Hair Product WINNER

As it’s been a full week already (it’s Tuesday, people! Tuesday and it feels like it’s taken forever just to get here!) I should post the results from the hair product contest before people eat me alive. That would be bad blogging and I could get kicked out of the club for that! The general [...]

She’s a Bad Mammogramma

Every year when I go visit the Evil Dr. Porkchop at my annual check-up, he tells me to get a mammogram because I need some baseline results. No, his real name isn’t Evil Dr. Porkchop, but last year they had a commercial for Toy Story 3 playing on a television set in the waiting room [...]

Only Good Things

Earlier this week my friend Christine asked that I help spread the word about a project she worked on for her friend who just died from ovarian cancer. I promised her that I would do it and I just finished my purchase of the cards she made. She’s selling them and donating the proceeds to [...]

Coca-Cola Does Me A Solid (Even Though It’s a Liquid)

I will be attending a Conversations with Coca-Cola event next week in Atlanta where I will be meeting with their leadership team. Coke will be paying for my travel and lodging and I am being financially compensated for writing this post. As always, they are thoughts true to who I am and if you don’t [...]

A Quarter of a Century Old

Mallory is, by far, the most well-rounded and thoughtful person I know. I normally try not to make sweeping statements like that about people, but she’s my kid and there is no one in the world who has been as close to me. While I realize it takes two people to make a baby I [...]

This Here Dead Horse? I’m Going To Beat It Again.

*Disclaimer: Somehow I am going to manage a post that combines race and blogging and pop culture (admittedly, from the 80s) and some experiences about being black. I will probably not master all of those things and this will be a little uncomfortable. Trust me when I say that this isn’t an easy place to [...]
