So I came across these articles and thought I would share them. I watched Dr Phil a couple of weeks ago and it was on this same topic. To be honest, open relationship is a fairly new concept to me. I was born and raised in Ghana and not even on one occasion did I hear this ever being discussed. It is only when I came to America that I heard people talking about it. What are your thoughts on this People? I personally would NEVER agree to an open anything..lol..but that’s just me. I am Christian, and the bible makes marriage exclusive (Monogamy)...one man..one woman and that's what I go by. But do you think an open marriage could EVER be helpful? What would you do if your partner wanted one? And should you agree to an open marriage for the fear of being cheated on? These articles, one way or the other suggest that. For the purpose of this discussion, am going to stay objective and neutral as I can be. Let's talk!!

Honor Thy Parents!



Hi Ladies,

This weekend, I was at a 60^th bday party and it was just beautiful. It was organized by the children. You could feel the love in the room and you could tell that they put so much work into making their mother smile. It was a very beautiful and emotional event.

The first commandment with a promise is to "honor our parents" Ephesians 6:1-3. As we go through life, let us always make it a priority to hold our parents near and dear and to cherish them. Life is short! And as we think of becoming parents in the future, let us think of the rewards both from God and our children and make sure we do the outmost best we can for them. Prayer is the key! There's an Akan proverb that says "if your parents take care of you to grow teeth, you also have to take care of them till their teeth fall out"...Direct translation...lol..but u get it right? lol

Let us all cherish our parents and show them how much we love them.

And to the single mothers who work tirelessly for us. We say thank you!

 More of this “moochiness” will come during mother's day but I just wanted to share this thought with yall. Have a Blessed Week and Happy Mondayyy!!

  

This is the first of(possibly) a weekly REALITY SHOW/SERIES ROUND-UP! Guilty Pleasures!

On Saturdays, I will be recapping some of our favorite reality shows/series. Every time I am watching these reality shows I have opinions and comments, so I sometimes talk about it with friends or give my comments on social media or discuss it with my mum,believe it or not..lol. Her favorites are basketball wives, love and hip hop and the Kardashians(well at least until Kim’s divorce) lmao.

Now that I have my blog, I feel it’s the perfect chance to discuss my favorite guilty pleasures with you ladies!!Please join in keeping the discussion going. I will try and stay religious to at least 2 each week so you don't miss out. I also believe this will be a great resource for those who missed it.

Let’s start talking with one of my fave couples on reality TV Khloe and Lamar! Airs on Sunday at 10pm on Etv!

  Hands down, my favorite couple on reality TV!They are soo cuteee. On this week’s episode Lamar and Khloe are unbreakable and I mean literally. Lamar complains that Khloe “babies” him; therefore to avoid that, he decides to teach her a lesson by handcuffing both of them for the entire day. Yes, they even went to a meeting (to discuss their new perfume unbreakable) together handcuffed. I found it funny especially when they had to get into a car with the handcuffs on. Also rob decides to enter into the socks business and convinces Malika to help with the photo-shoot. FYI- Malika looked Hot..lol

I love these two, and if their relationship is really as portrayed, then great cause I will be watching...lol

My New Obsession GCB!!! Airs on Sundays at 10pm on ABC!

                         

 

OMG….This series just began and I lovee it! It’s the first episode and it’s getting great reviews. It starts out with a former mean girl returning to town (Dallas) after her husband dies and she looses everything because he was living a double life! She is all grown now and returns to her neighborhood and church. She is clearly no longer a mean girl, but the girls that she used to be mean to are out for revenge. The setting is mainly at church events and everyone attends the same church where the cattiness mainly happens indirectly through prayers and well-wishes.The girls are watching her every move and make sure she doesn’t get a job and when she finally does, she realizes it is secretly owned by one of the girls she made fun of in high school (who is btw the head of the new mean"christian" bitches in town) and also happens to be her next door neighbor.Will she return to being a mean girl??hmmm…we were given clues towards the end..let’s wait and see!

For those who haven’t watched it…what are you waiting for??? It’s awesome, fun, sassy and funny. Even the guys like it…lol FYI:GCB stands for "Good Christian Bitches"...huh? Yes that's what I said too..lol

                                         

Braxton's Family Values! Airs Thursdays at 9pm!

                                            

This week was all about the girls planning Mama Evelyn's wedding. The girls however seem more interested in the wedding more than the one getting married and they begin to question their mother on her willingness to let this wedding happen. Meanwhile,at a lunch date with Mama Evelyn and her fiance aka  “Doc” and its obvious that he also is not prepared .This makes Evelyn suggest that, maybe they should “elope.” Toni goes to LA to continue working on her album and Traci goes back to DMV to talk to her investor "Daddy Braxton" and look for a place. The girls rehearse to a beautiful rendition of the“Lord’s Prayer” which they intend to sing at their mums wedding. In the end though, Evelyn makes it known to Towanda that she is “calling off” the wedding and will inform her other daughters on the next episode. Stay Tuned!!

      Real Housewives of ATL! Airs on Sundays 9pm on Bravo!

         

  

The girls come back from South Africa and its drama drama drama. This time among the “smalls”, Sheree gossips to Kim about Kandi implying she is a racist while on their trip and all hell breaks loose. In fairness, Kandi never said “She doesn’t see Kim holding a black baby” it’s Cynthia who said that. Nene’s son got arrested for shoplifting at Wal-Mart and Nene shows no signs of bailing him out even when Peter tries to talk her into it. She wants to teach him a lesson and to that I say…way to go NENE!!lol…meanwhile Uncle Peter(lol) starts planning a party for his one year anniversary with Cynthia. Once again, he seems to be budgeting for something that he can’t quite afford. And oo did I say Cynthia brought a gift for her daughter from South Africa and did not bring Peter anything? The worse part it; she gave it to her in front of him…lol…Stay Tuned!!

Basketball Wives Miami! Airs 8pm Mondays on Bravo

                                                                                    

 

 Suzie embarrasses herself at a charity event hosted by Royce by being loud and obnoxious the whole time. The ladies confront Kenya about how she acted towards Keisha when "all Keisha was doing was trying to help her." Also, Tami tried to help Kenya by setting up a meeting for her with her “glam squad” since Kenya is pursuing a music career and might need the help. However, things don’t go well because Kenya arrived late and totally unprepared, now you know Tami gives it to her just like she feels..lmao. Ending this week’s episode is a touching confession of Tami’s abusive past including being raped twice and threatened at gun point; she tells us that this is "why she has anger management issues." Well Tami, I hope one day  you will recover from the injury it might have caused you and move forward. Keep praying and keep your head up.

Ps: I use to love this show, but am beginning to lose interest because of all the cattiness that goes on. Anyway that why it’s a guilty pleasure. All I can say is, no woman should physically fight each other. You can always agree to disagree. Arguments and misunderstandings are ok but it should Never get physical. Nonetheless, I will be watching and giving more recap..lmao

And this ends it, for my weekly reality show/series round-up! Stay Tuned…I will be watching and bringing you more recap!!

I watch Spartacus too...lol...maybe next week I will recap. Idk if you ladies will be interested!

Who wore it best?? Did you??

So am personally guilty of this and I know most women are. More often than not we would not like to be seen in the same or very similar outfit as someone else, when we go out. But why does it really matter? After all isn't the real difference in how you "rock" and "work" that outfit. Isn't it all about your confidence and how you accessorize??


As I thought about this, I remembered how often I see celebrities wear the same or similar clothing.

 As my friend in my head LALA says"Just because you’re not being photographed for magazines doesn’t mean you’ve never been a victim of this very same fashion dilemma. Showing up to an event or the club in the same dress is every girl’s worst fashion nightmare, and unfortunately it happens to most of us at some point in our lives. "

Lala has some great advice on her website in regards to this issue, which I would Love to share with you Ladies.

1. Handle it with grace. Don’t talk smack or cower in the corner. Act like it’s no big deal, and no one else will think it is.

2. Have a sense of humor. Go up to your fashion doppelganger and tell her how much you love her dress and ask her where she got it. You can laugh about it together and ease the tension in the room.

3. Wear it better. You know you rocked it! Dress with confidence and all eyes will be on you even if the whole room wearing the same thing.


Have you seen anyone wear the same outfit as you at a gathering and how did u feel??...Did you wear it Best??? Maybe it’s time we stopped hoping no one will be in a similar dress and start thinking about wearing it best! Thoughts Ladies...Let’s Talk!!

As we discuss this issue, lets vote on which of these celebrities wore it best?? And why?


Lala or Fergie

Ashley(L) or Kylie(R)

Brooke, Lisa or Kristin

Kristen or Tory

Vivica, Ashley or Bridget

                                                              
                                                                  Vanessa or Paris

    
                                                                Alicia or Blake

 

Kim or Lindsay

Eva or Kim
