I remember my first job at Ledo’s Pizza as a carryout girl. Well, not A carryout girl- but THE carryout girl. Basically my job was to take orders, so that’s what I did. From customers, from management- there was even a bathroom break schedule to follow. Being told when I could take a break, or use the bathroom never felt … Read More
If you’re single and not reading Single is the New Black then you, my dear friend, are missing out. This book gives voice to myriad of challenges we as single women face in a world that’s seemingly built for two. Or rather, that’s the narrative we’re sold, right? If you’re single then something must be wrong with you. You’re … Read More
For me, the secret to looking good is to not try to. Just take care of yourself and work on “being” good and just let the beauty come to you. Only the shallow-minded and insecure folks will view this as an arrogant post. LOL. Save
Hallo lovelies, call me M.J, first name Mary, last name Job. I grew up in Lagos, Nigeria among a family of six. I love diversity, both in my thoughts and in my dealings.

My academic background lies between philosophy, … Read More

It’s not uncommon when … Read More
To me, having a good sense of humor generally comes from a dark place. It’s not so much self-pity as it is being able to laugh in the face of intense adversity. This is necessary in order to fully enjoy living. So when someone implies that I’m not “serious”, actually I couldn’t be more so.
We all have our caged demons. I believe our resolve is tested at its greatest when someone manages to pick the lock.
In light of the Pulse club shooting in Orlando, and the resulting Democratic sit in, I started wondering about gun control or rather, single women and gun ownership. Do you own a gun? I know, I know, it’s kind of a personal question. But I’m curious. If it makes you feel any better, I don’t own one, but I’ve thought … Read More
Do you own an adult coloring book? If so, how do you like it? If not, what’s taking you so long 😉?
In regards to recent opinions being thrown back & forth about guns, I figure I’d throw my hat in the ring. My take is that if someone passes the proper background check & spends the money, I have no problem with the general ownership of firearms. But the means by which people are tested to prove responsibility must be totally … Read More
