  I really don’t like 50 Cent. As a matter of fact, I unfollowed him on twitter when I realized he can be very ignorant. Regardless of how I feel about him, I can honestly say that I completely agree with him when it comes to face tatoos. They are never a good idea. Thankfully Kenyans [...]

  How excited am I? I was scared that E.V.E. had gone Hollywood on us but she’s back!!! Not only is she back, but she’s returning to the winning formula of working with Swizz Beatz. I think he brings out the best in her. They were in California to shoot the video for “Coolin,” off of [...]

• Chris Brown For GQ Italia April 2011

  Posted: March 17, 2011, 10:33 am by amarieadhis

  Don’t you just love a sharply dressed man? That’s one thing I really miss about clubbing in the States. The men were always on point. I think in Kenya, Nairobi to be specific, men don’t pay as much attention to how they look. Our male counterparts should realize that we appreciate it when they spend [...]

• Rihanna Covers Vogue April 2011

  Posted: March 16, 2011, 3:56 pm by amarieadhis

  Rihanna is featured on the cover of the April 2011 issue of Vogue. Shot by Annie Leibovitz, Rihanna looks unsurprisingly gorgeous. The only issue I have with her is the red hair. It just refuses to grow on me. I think it makes her look a bit cartoonish. I hated Angeline Jolie’s December cover but [...]

  I love Solange Knowles. Not just because she cares for my lovely Africa, but also because she is a wonderful musician who uses her voice for the greater good. Solange is using her voice to raise awareness and funds for The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation’s Replenish Africa Initiative (RAIN). The organization’s focus is to give African [...]

• Why Are Women Delusional When It Comes to Relationships?

  Posted: March 10, 2011, 10:50 am by amarieadhis

  Women are suckers for love. That’s the plain and honest truth. I’ve seen a few men who would climb mountains or even take a punch for love, but women take the cake. Their behaviour sometimes just borders on irrationality or insanity even. A great example is the relationship between rapper Fabolous, real name John Jackson, and Emily [...]

• Age Does Not Discriminate…

  Posted: March 8, 2011, 10:49 am by amarieadhis

  Women are absolutely terrified of aging. You only need to take a walk to the beauty store and look at the cash cow that is anti-aging products. I won’t lie, I’ve recently changed my beauty routine because I’ve heard that when  you get into your late twenties, your age starts to show…wrinkles, frown lines and [...]

  I used to love Da Brat. She was such a positive female rapper…until she decided to act out by assaulting some waitress and got locked up for like 3 years. Her music was awesome though. Anyone remember her song :What Do You Like”? That used to be my jam!!! Well, Brat is out although she [...]

• 10 Year Old Ethers Lil Wayne

  Posted: March 3, 2011, 9:44 am by amarieadhis

  It’s no secret that the state of hip hop today is just so disappointing. No one raps about real issues anymore. It’s just blinged out, ignorant and basic rhymes. Since none of us have been man or woman enough to call these rappers out on their BS, a Baltimore based group of three sisters that [...]

  Posted: March 2, 2011, 11:23 am by amarieadhis

  Beyonce, who was spotted courtside at the Nets game, recently revealed that she loves to wear sexy stilletos for her man. I’ve never seen her in flats. I love heels but I only wear them for special occasions. My manual car won’t let me drive with sky high heels on my way to work. In [...]

• Would You Keep Your Ex’s Name After Divorce?

  Posted: February 25, 2011, 12:21 pm by amarieadhis

  Such a complicated issue. Would you and should you keep your ex-husband’s last name after a divorce? I’m so tempted to say no. Actually, I never understood why we should let go of our maiden names when we get married. However, my fiance is adamant that I should take his when we do get married. [...]

  Nicki Minaj is on the cover of Black Book Magazine. I love Nicki because she makes you look. Not in freakazoid Gaga way. She’s just interesting and something fresh in the hip hop scene. Yeah I know some people think she bit off from Lil’ Kim. The only similarity I see is the different coloured [...]

  Posted: February 24, 2011, 10:32 am by amarieadhis

  Who does not remember the year Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Rowland came out??? I honestly can’t think of another male/female duet that had as much chemistry as they did in that video. We were all secretly wishing they’d end up together. I really don’t buy that Ashanti and Nelly relationship thing coz honestly, if [...]

  Love them or hate them, the Kardashians still manage to snatch our attention while they make a boat load of money doing so. Branding is everything. In this case, the branding mastermind behind this success is Kris, a former airline stewardess and self-proclaimed “momager” who pushed her kids into the national limelight.

  I know I’m not the only one out there who was shocked when the Grammy winner for Best New Artist was read out.

• Beyonce at the Grammys

  Posted: February 15, 2011, 11:59 am by amarieadhis

  Everyone thought Beyonce was hiding during the Grammys. She was not spotted on the Red Carpet at all. I think she was just trying to be a supportive friend to her BFF Gwyneth Paltrow who was performing “Forget You” with Cee-Lo. The two could have passed for sisters! They were both dressed in black, Christian [...]

  Yesterday we tackled the all-important DON’Ts for our male counterparts. Today, let’s focus on us. Women get really excited on Valentine’s Day. At my work place, it seems the ladies get divided into two categories on that day: those who received flowers and those who didn’t. Needless to say, despite all the excitement it can [...]

• Valentine’s Day DON’Ts For Men

  Posted: February 8, 2011, 12:26 pm by amarieadhis

  Most men are totally clueless when it comes to Valentine’s Day. I think most of them would prefer to pack up and head to shags until the whole thing is over and done with. Unfortunately for them, women watch soap operas and telenovelas so the bar has been set pretty high for them. Not to [...]

  With Valentines Day coming fast around the corner, I know all my lady ballers are wondering what they should get that special guy in their life.

• Revealed: Rihanna’s Email To Chris Brown

  Posted: October 28, 2010, 4:03 pm by amarieadhis

  I don’t speak much about the Chrihannna Gate scandal because I always felt like we were only getting one side of the story. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to make excuses for what Chris did. But you have to wonder… I mean, there have been reports saying that wasn’t their first fight. People have said Rihanna had [...]

• Hot Trend Alert: Leopard Print Shoes

  Posted: October 27, 2010, 5:18 pm by amarieadhis

  I’ve loved leopard print ever since my mum bought me a beautiful velvet leopard print skirt back when I was a teenager. Have no idea what happened to it but it was such a prized possession. Leopard print can look very HOT. However…you have to wear it in moderation, and know what to pair it with. [...]

• Shaffie Weru & The Desperation of Kenyan Women

  Before you get your panties/boxers in a bunch, let me first say that I have never met Shaffie Weru (he may be a truly wonderful human being), and yes, I am a Kenyan woman. This is purely from an outsider looking in. Those of you who read Shaffie’s interview in Pulse today must have been [...]

• Tyler Perry Opens Up About Sexual Abuse on Oprah

  Posted: October 22, 2010, 3:22 pm by amarieadhis

  Tyler Perry was on the Oprah show Wednesday night and he opened up about being physically and sexually abused three times before he even reached the age of 10. I think it takes alot of guts to come out with something like this. No one would just volunteer to put themselves out there with such [...]

• Fashion Faux Pas Kenyan Women Love To Make

  Posted: October 19, 2010, 5:18 pm by amarieadhis

    I don’t know about you, but I’m finding it harder each day to walk in the streets of Nairobi without wanting to stop a woman just to find out if she has a mirror at home that she uses before stepping out the door. Some women look shocking and atrocious! Not everything that’s in [...]

• Heat Rush by Beyonce

  Posted: October 19, 2010, 2:52 pm by amarieadhis

  From Beyonce’s Success Class 101, KNOW HOW TO BRAND YOURSELF. She’s serious about her money. She’s not like a regular woman. Many women think having a rich hubby automatically exempts them from excelling and from hard work. Granted having a husband is in itself a full time job, but you can’t tell me Jay-Z is not awe-struck by the phenomenon [...]

• Regretting My Threesome

  Posted: October 15, 2010, 1:28 pm by amarieadhis

  Please bear with me. This is a post I came across and I was amazed at the stupidity exhibited by some members of the human race. Some things are just not meant to be done. My next comment may be a bit controversial but I will go ahead anyway. Men are like children. DO NOT [...]

  Drake is featured in the current issue of the Cosmopolitan magazine, giving relationship tips on how to hook a man, how to keep a man, and even how to move on after a break-up. I’m amazed that I agree with everything he’s saying. He’s really not my cuppatea but I like how he thinks. Starting [...]

  Posted: October 14, 2010, 3:26 pm by amarieadhis

  Yes, today we’re going to be really dramatic. Nigerian movie type of drama. What would you do or how would you react if you found out your spouse had a past sexual encounter with a member of the opposite sex? How did I ever come to think about this, you ask? Well, there’s a story [...]
