Dear #ElizabethLauten, It’s Never a Good Idea To Pick on Someone’s Kids… Especially if Those Kids are The Obama Girls

Obama Family Portrait

I honestly had no idea who Elizabeth Lauten was until today. Today, I found out that she is the Communications director for U.S. Representative Stephen Fincher (R-Tenn.). I also found out today (via Twitter) that she has used her voice, social network and her office to publicly slam children. Those children happen to be our beloved Obama daughters, Sasha and Malia Obama. That’s right the daughter’s of the President of the United States. Here is what was posted on her Facebook page. Apparently, in today’s … Continue reading →

Juka Palm Soap

I got to try out this Juka Organic Palm Oil Soap. This soap smelled really good and natural. It also lathered up very well.

The first time I had to cook Thanksgiving Dinner was when my mom had surgery many years ago.

(So yeah that first time = FAIL) After many years of failed attempts and dried out … Continue reading →

ABC’s #Blackish Brings #NaturalHair to Prime Time TV!

Tonight’s episode of ABC’s Black-ish was quite hilarious. In it’s first season Black-ish is already slaying me with its cultural commentary. Guest star Jenifer Lewis showed up to portray who else, but Dre’s meddlin mother. She is perfect because she is the consummate Black mother and she has played “Mother” to half of Black Hollywood. From the aunt on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air to Michael’s mother in Think Like A Man Too! She WILL be playing my mother when they make the movie … Continue reading →
