The Black Game of Thrones – In the Shadow of Ruin, A must read book
Who doesn’t love a good book? 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? That’s right ✅ In The Shadow of Ruin is a book about ancient Nigeria, written by Tony Debajo. 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…

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…

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! …

If it glitters it could be gold… A unique gift idea for your loved ones
Don’t you just love all things sparkly and glittery? No? Just me? Right OK ? Well I am proudly attracted to things that have glitter on them. Especially when I’m searching for a gift for someone ? I’m the natural gift giver in my household, so I’m literally in charge of locating the perfect gift for my loved ones. And by perfect I mean it has to be something unique but solely designed to be something they will love and treasure ? There is just no comparable feeling to giving someone you love a gift and seeing their faces light up when they open it. Not just because…

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…
