The regality that every event and occasion needs – Balloon and event design fit for royalty
I am a major celebrations person! When I say major, please don’t think that I am exaggerating ? I celebrate absolutely everything and even go as far as to plan my children and husbands birthday at least 6 months in advance ? I don’t even mind the judgment that is now screaming out at me through your screens ? I am proud of my exuberant celebratory attitude? Anyway, I tell you all of this, so you can truly understand how over the moon I was when I discovered a Black owned company that does events and provided balloon delivery nationwide! Yes you read correctly, NATIONWIDE! How can you not get…

I freed my Pitts, Now it’s your turn…… A natural deodorant that provides amazing protection
Remember that day at the beginning of August, when the weather got so hot it felt like we were living in the underbelly of hell? ? Yeah you remember! It’s hard to forget heatwaves in this country because to a winter lover like me, they are the stuff nightmares are made of ? Well during that particularly ‘fun period’ ? I decided to try out a natural deodorant that I had seen advertised on a Black Business page that I belong to. Now let me be frank for a moment. This could have been an extremely disastrous idea ? Mainly because branching out and trying a different deodorant at…

Dry, Frizzy Hair Be Gone… A hair moisturiser that we all need
The struggle I have had in trying to find a product that would moisturise my sons hair to the level I wanted has been unreal ??♀️ I’ve tried so many different products over the years and none have ever been to my satisfaction. I’m talking about big named brands as well as smaller brands that promise to give your hair moisture from God Himself ? Only for me to try it and be left so crucially disappointed ? So needless to say, when I received a recommendation to try Afrocenchix products, I was mildly pessimistic about whether I would get the results I truly wanted. Well I should…

Doughnuts for Everyone…. Vegan Doughnuts to satisfy your sweet tooth
I’m going to take a moment to be completely transparent with you ? it takes a lot to reveal something so personal so I’m expecting you as my wonderful readers, to be patient and understanding. I’m also expecting absolutely no judgements of my complete naivety….. can you do that? Great, so here goes….. I didn’t know vegan doughnuts existed ??♀️?? You promised to be understanding remember? ? It’s not really something I’ve ever spent time considering as I’m not actually vegan ??♀️ so unless it was drawn to my attention, there was no real reason for me to search specifically for any kind of vegan dessert, particularly a doughnut…

Slave Turned Hero…. A comic book with a unique, Black Superhero
Ever sat there and thought about what it would have been like if a superhero had existed during slavery? One with actual superpowers that could have dramatically changed that part of our history? I’m going to be honest…. I had never given it a second thought, until I discovered the Heru comics. I confess that until I met my husband I wasn’t really interested in comic books or graphic novels. I was a simple person that just preferred a good book. And I admit that I didn’t really see the allure that comic books held. Don’t get me wrong, I was always partial to a Marvel film ?…

Add a little bit of seasoning to your greeting card… Cards with the representation you need
I can confess that all of the reviews that I write, get me just a little bit excited ?? not just because I love to write, but also because I’m so passionate about reviewing great companies (trust me you don’t want to see me after I submit a trip advisor review ?) But this review exceeded my usual excitement just a little bit. Let me tell you why…… I have always been obsessed with finding the right greeting card for someone. I still have all of the birthday cards I’ve ever received – as far back as the age of 5 anyway ? (I can hear your judgement through…

Let’s talk about cake baby….. A cake company to suit all of your special occasions
Let’s talk about Cake ????*licks lips* I can’t pretend to be a cake connoisseur, but I do admit to being a bit of a cake fiend ? Don’t judge me ? I just can’t help it. There is nothing like sitting down with a cup of tea ☕ (PG tips or Yorkshire Tea of course ✊?) and having a slice of cake that is so moist it makes the need for the tea redundant. Now, let’s get something straight… Not all cake makes the best impression on me. There have been times that I’ve been left wondering why I even bothered to inhale a slice of cake and undertake…

Sweets vs Chocolates – The ultimate battle…. Luxury, handmade chocolates to beat all others
Let me tell you a secret ? I’ve never really been a fan of chocolate ? when I was little my flavour of the month was always some kind of sweetie, but chocolates just seemed to always make me feel sick ? As I got older, that changed but only a little bit ??♀️ I can now enjoy some chocolate every now and again but what really changed was my appreciation for how beautiful a box of chocolate can look ? A nice box of chocolates can look like an exquisite piece of art if its put together properly and that is something that sweets just cannot do! …

Jamaica – Land I love… Jewellery that honours the Diaspora
So this review isn’t as long as others I’ve written – before you jump to conclusions ? its not because the company isn’t good ? its simply because there isn’t much you can say about jewellery apart from whether it’s as described, shiny, made well etc. I’m not a Hatton Gardens expert so I won’t pretend to be just for the sake of a review ? Now that disclaimer is out of the way, let me tell you about this cute company that I found that satisfied my patriotic needs wholeheartedly. So I’ve mentioned before that I am of Jamaican descent ?? and needless to say I’m quite…

Even Babies can be Woke! A book subscription box, providing the representation our kids need!
I’m not too proud to say, that I’m that parent that searches high and low for books that portray black children and families, for my kids to read. Reading to me, is one of the greatest things that life has to offer. There is nothing like picking up a good book and escaping into the world that the author has created, whilst temporarily forgetting about the disasters in your own world ??♀️ so I’ve always wanted (and encouraged) my kids to love reading as much as I do. But even as a child I realised that there was something poignant about picking up a book with a Black person on…
