Did Natasha in Big Brother Africa actually use a Sex Toy?

Now that I'm back in Seattle, I don't know if I can keep up with the Big brother Africa show, but this news I got in my email got me clicking over to go see the latest. Natasha from Malawi has been one of my favorites from the time they went into the house. She has a sunny disposition, and always cheerful. I actually predicted that she would last long but she was recently put up for eviction.

Couple Love - Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban can never be found slacking on the red carpet and they are almost always together, supporting each other.

Beauty Blogger Suffers Horrible Reaction to a Spa Facial

I have written before about how I take care of my skin [read post]. My skin is relatively free from acne and I rarely have to do more than wash, cleanse and or tone with regular skin care products. Sometimes, I buy and use creams for home facials, and while I've never had a spa facial, I've heard of them and a friend who has more of an acne problem uses them regularly.

A Blogger Wedding - Mamuje Goes To Zanzibar!

Mamuje is the blogger at Tattletale Diaries, and in the typical Nigerian way, she recently held several wedding ceremonies to celebrate her marriage. One was her dream event, a destination wedding party for just a handful of guests. She chose Zanzibar, that beautiful Island off the East African coast. And I love that the culture of the location was fully embedded in the ceremony. She was gracious enough to share her pictures with RML. Enjoy!

Blast From the Past - Oba Ovonramwen of Benin

Ovonramwen with his wives and children

Ovonramwen Nogbaisi (ruled 1888–1897), also called Overami, was the Oba (king) of the Kingdom of Benin up until the British punitive expedition of 1897. I first read the story of Ovonramwen in a drama written by Ola Rotimi titled Ovonramwen Nogbaisi: An Historical Tragedy in English. It was a moving story, one of the few really historical books of that era. Now the internet puts some real faces to the names mentioned in the book, and makes the history real.

Contestant Proposes to Girlfriend on America’s Got Talent

America's Got Talent started last week but I missed out on the first episode. Today's episode more than made up for it as it had loads of talent, laughs, and even more specially, love and a proposal.

After the interview, there was a storm of comments on blogs and social media, with a lot of people insisting she was making a mistake by not insisting on a ring.
