We stumbled on this list written by Wendelyn and we were compelled to share! The list is not only filled with truth but carries the true essence of femininity and a woman committed to living for AND on purpose. Please read, share but most importantly, imbibe! The concluding part will be published this week. By Wendelyn Okemini 30.Trust yourself. Trust the…
The other day, I went for a party with a couple of friends. I noticed a very HOOOT looking dude giving me the Joey (from friends), ‘how you doing look’. I returned his gesture with a polite ‘I am alright but not particularly desperate’ smile. I then nudge my friend Temi to give me the 411 on the guy. She…
By Glory Edozien Now if you are anywhere within your mid twenties to late thirties you must be aware of the wedding mania that continues to sweep over our country. It usually takes about 30 minutes for the newly engaged bride-to-be to change her status from ‘in a relationship’ to engaged on facebook, complete with a profile picture of her…
A good friend of mine once told me ‘every relationship must not end in marriage’. At first I didn’t understand what he meant. Surely, when you reach your mid-twenties the goal of most relationships is marriage. But now, I clearly see what he was talking about.

We are sorry we missed our regular Shero Segment last week, so to make up for it, we will have two Shero posts up this week…did we hear you say yay? Up first is one of my favourite women on the planet. Shonda Rhimes. I’ll be honest, I am a series addict. I live and breathe the stuff, but rarely…

It is amazing sometimes to watch a proud man as he walks into a room. His wide but slow and steady strides signify his implicit dominance, his arms arched inwards to suggest the contour…
By Emma Gray Every woman has her own definition of success. But there are certain traits that most successful women share. I spend a good part of my work day reading and writing about women who have achieved great things — and I make it a point to surround myself with women who are well on their way to doing…
Oh how I mourn the simplicity of my youth! I remember the good old secondary school days, when life proved ever so simple. A boy likes a girl, he ‘toasts’ her, buys her gifts and even gets his friends to tell her how much he likes her. The whole school knows that they are a couple or at the very…
