This is one of those posts that I’ve been meaning to do all summer long. Maybe in the back of my mind, I’ve been feeling like the season lasts forever. Lord knows July and August dragged on long enough. But all of a sudden it’s supposed to be over, the kids are back at school,…

Happy Independence to My Trinis!
I’ve been living in Miami for… jeez, coming up on a decade now! And I like it OK. I’ve become very used to Miami’s ways — not sure if that’s a good thing, sometimes. It probably just means I drive like a total jerk and I’ve learned more incidental Spanish than the average person. Even…
Consider Yourself Bronzed!
I only have ten bronzers in my hands. Permit me to get my Tyra Banks on as I announce the winners. Amber Xenanic Thecla Angelica Greenstar ladybugfromthechi Brandi Sunshine ceecee, and last but not least — Berrybrowne – you asked the Ask Afrobella question that led to the giveaway, so you deserve one! So ten…
The Pitiful State of Today’s Women’s Magazines
As far back as I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with women’s magazines. In my memory, they’re forever intertwined with trips to the hairdresser, where I’d inevitably wind up parked under a dryer. Needless to say, I started reading Cosmopolitan, Vogue, and Elle at a pretty young age. Before age ten I wanted to be…
We Have a Winner!
Thank you so much to everyone who entered the Afrobella logo contest. It was really cool to see how each designer depicted their vision of Afrobella, and over the weekend I plan to post a gallery of all the entries. Some made more use of text and fancy fonts, some relied solely on image. I…
Last Chance, Logo Designers!
Today’s the day! While I was away, I received a bunch of absolutely beautiful submissions, and some promises from other designers to send theirs in ASAP. So if you wanted to send something in, do it quick! The window of opportunity closes at midnight tonight. The original plan was to announce a winner tonight or…
American Airlines, Again?
Hey bellas! I got back from fabulous Las Vegas this afternoon. More on the trip later. Right now, I need to vent. This is the third round trip flight I’ve taken on American Airlines this year. This is the second time that they’ve lost one of my bags in transit. And this time, they’ve done…
Full Figured Fabulous
Most of you probably saw this photo of the current case of Mo’Nique’s F.A.T Chance making its way around the gossip blogosphere in July. From the second I saw that photo pop up on sites like Perez Hilton and TMZ, I steeled myself for horrible comments. If you’re at all sensitive about weight issues, those…
Pro Nails
Afrobella is all about beauty and bath products, but you all may have noticed one gaping hole in my beauty review resume. I’ve never done a post on nails. I’ve just never been a manicure kind of girl. I’ve always been into some kind of art — I love painting when I can find the…
Betty Davis, The Original Funky Bella
I’m a day late and a dollar short with this post, bellas. Apologies if you clicked over yesterday and were disappointed. Mondays. Sometimes they hit you over the head harder than you expect. What can I say? Funky is the watchword this week, y’all. This week will be all about funky makeup, funky music, funky…
