Continued from last week. I woke up to the sound of my phone ring in the evening. I had been sleeping all day since Chioma left for Ogudu and had completely forgotten about the outing with Collins. “Who could this be?” I thought to myself. It was an unknown number and I usually don’t pick such. I hesitated briefly but eventually decided to pick up. “Hello,” I answered. “Hi sweetheart, are you ready for an exciting evening with Pablo” I recognized the voice, it was Ade and Pablo was his ‘game name’ not that I found it to be intriguing…

These days, through every form of media – radio, TV, Internet and Newspapers – we are bombarded with negative news. It’s as though there’s a conspiracy against the spread of positivity. It becomes clearer why most (if not all) of us seem to dwell only on the negatives. We should pause to consider the effects of such information in our lives. There is no gainsaying that everything in this world is preceded by a thought. Thoughts precede form in all cases; therefore, if you wish to fix the latter, you must first change the former. This is a fundamental truth.…

Tulle is a playful fabric that is popularly attributed to kids clothing. But since fashion rests largely on experimentation, it’s been borrowed by the world of women’s fashion and cut into beautiful sartorial pieces ranging from dresses, skirts, and tops. This weekend, we are fixated on the tulle skirt trend and its many styling variations which are perfect for a casual daytime transition into a nighttime glam look and – depending on your styling abilities – can be worn to an informal-formal setting without looking out of place.

A low sex drive is a form of sexual dysfunction, that affects both sexes and there are several factors that can lead to this problem. They can be categorised as physical and psychological causes.

Low libido, or hypoactive sexual drive disorder, is a…
Today, in our usual attempt at a Throwback Thursday post, we’ve embraced our narcissistic side and dug through our past magazine issues to find one of our favourites – The Sunshine Issue.

Taking you down memory lane – if…

On the 26th of October, Ethiopia took the right step towards the erasure of patriarchy within its political institution and country (in general) by appointing the first female president, Sahle-Work Zewde, who is our Woman Crush Wednesday. The African continent, like every other continent, is experiencing a paradigm shift in the roles and the positions filled by women. To the world, we may be lagging behind in the necessary reformation that ensures an environment where equality of both sexes thrives, but this is not entirely the case as steps are being made in the right direction. Liberia led this reform…
