Giving Wedding Gifts That Will Stand Out

Posted in: ,

By Fikayo Giwa

Gone are the days, when guests turn up to weddings with toasters and china to present to newlyweds as their wedding gifts. With the advent of cohabiting, couples tend to have already furnished their homes and so don’t require the traditional starter home gifts. These days, it is more common for invites to say “we request monetary gifts”, “contributions towards a store gift list” “vouchers” or more simply “your presence is enough of a gift”. We have come up with interesting and creative gift ideas, big and small for the less traditional couple

A Woman Offering To Split the Bill on First Dates

Posted in: , ,

You know the scenario well: The check comes. No one moves. You look at each other. You smile. The check sits there. This, my friends, is what we call a little game of “pick-up check.”

The question is: Should a woman offer to split the bill on the first date?

After the Promise Ring - What Next?

Posted in: ,

This is the second episode of the short film, The Promise, which we discussed here. I don't want to spoil it, but I will say that I preferred the first to this one.

Couple Love - Beyonce and JayZ

Posted in: ,

Beyonce and Jayz have been married five years now, and were dating for a while before then. They have a one-year old daughter, and though there are rumors that Beyonce is pregnant for her second, the couple have not confirmed it. I love that they still know how to take time to themselves and have fun like newly weds. These pictures were taken recently at the Berlin stop of her world tour.

By Tara Kennedy-Kline

We hear it over and over again; every book, article and TV show confirms it: parenting is the hardest job on the planet. But is it really?

Baby Oku or Pregnant Mercy Johnson in America

Before now, I had not seen Mercy Johnson in a purely comedic role, the closest was in Fighter or Royal Fight or something like that, maybe part 1 and 2 of the same movie. However, this movie trailer is hilarious, though it makes the movie look tbh, more like several interconnected skits. It also reminds me of Osuofia in London, one of the few Nollywood comedies I enjoyed.

Victoria Kimani - Oya ft. Mi [Music Meets Romance]

Posted in: , ,

Victoria Kimani is a sole female artiste from Kenya and the only woman on the Chocolate City label. This song is basically R&B, and imo, nothing overly fantastic about the singing or the lyrics. I like the lines by MI though, he raps really well and quite down to earth here.

A TTC Husband Writes a Letter to His Unborn Child

Posted in: , , ,

When I read this letter, tears almost came to my own years. As a woman who lives with unexplained infertility, I can totally get where this man is coming from. While we have certainly come a longer road than the couple in the letter - 4 years married to their 1+ but the experience and feelings are mostly the same no matter at what stage you are. And I know indeed that men also cry. I pray the couple gets their heart's wishes in a good time for them.
