Something that actually stunned me was that Jakitè actually provide free shipping 😮 Now if you’re a regular online shopper like me,…

To be honest, at this stage of lockdown I’m sure that question receives a resounding yes by everyone 😂 Since we’re on the same page 😉 You can share the excitement I felt when I was gifted a book that was yet to be released and asked to review it 🙌🏾 “An exclusive” I hear you shout?

It’s an action packed adventure novel, with a clear historic basis that is filled with lots of Nigerian folklore and superstition. The book begins with a very…

One man’s trash is another man’s PROFIT – T’s Waste Removal
You know the saying “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” well in the case of this company that I recently discovered and used, it’s “One man’s trash is another man’s profit” 🤑 And I am totally here for it! Oh don’t worry, I can hear you asking what I’m talking about 😂 Well let me explain….. I needed some rubbish removed from my house pretty urgently (I’m not a hoarder as such 🤷🏾♀️ but really needed to do a solid de-cluttering) So I figured I would have a look for a waste removal company that could come and collect all the rubbish for a reasonable price. Normally my…

Rum Punch that brings the taste of the Caribbean into your front room – Padnas
I can’t express enough how much I love rum punch 😍 It is one of the best drinks to have ever existed in my opinion (and I would like to think my opinion counts since I write the reviews here 😅) So coming across a company that sells rum punch and non-alcoholic punch floated my boat more than I can tell you 😋 Enter in Padnas – A company that provides punch that literally spoke to the Jamaican in me and made me want more. I ordered the OG flavour in an alcoholic and a non alcoholic version. The price point was extremely reasonable and varies depending on size…

So Fresh, So Clean…. A cleaning company that lives up to it’s name
So I was moving house, yep during the middle of a pandemic I decided that I needed to move house 😂 Ok if I’m honest, it wasn’t as simple as all of that, but nonetheless the move happened. I knew that I would need a cleaner to clean up after the removal men had left 👀 If you’ve ever hired a removal company you will know exactly what I am talking about. They do a great job but leave what can only be described as absolute carnage behind them. Its almost like a bomb has gone off 💣💥 And then you’re left with more work than you originally had…

When someone gifts you with something it always ends up becoming a little more precious to you because each time you see it, you can’t help but remember that someone actually thought of you.

So with all of that in mind, you can understand how we felt when we were gifted with a copy of a new book by Peléna Cosme about 2 special little girls, who…

The hat that keeps your hair fresh even during winter – Black Sunrise Hats
It’s officially my favourite season….. Real cold ??❄ which means that it’s time to bring out the woolly hats to keep the head warm and toasty. However, as desperate as I always am to maintain the heat in my body, be a good Mum and ensure my children are warm and have adequate head coverings on ? I am forever plagued with the age old Black problem of taking off said woolly hat, after wearing it for a little while and having messy hair. Be it braids, locs or just a fresh slick hair style, a woolly hat is never normally your friend ??♀️ With that problem in mind,…
