So, you’ve been talking to Mr. All That for a week or two and things are going seemingly well. He texts every morning, checks on you during his lunch break and you end your evenings with sweet phone conversations consistently. Untilllll one day you don’t hear from him at all. …

As a domestic violence survivor, I have heard it all. Why did you let it happen? Why didn’t you just leave? Dealing with domestic violence is easy when you’re on the outside looking in. Nothing is as easy as it seems. 1.3 million- that is the number of women who …

We’re all too familiar with this pattern. Either we dish it or we take it. So let’s break this down. We’ve all experienced the beginning stages. You know, replying to each other’s messages with short response times even at obscure hours. Then over time, the text behavior becomes less aggressive …

  Maybe I’m crazy, but lately I’ve been feeling like I’m extra behind in life. Yes, I might be a twenty-year-old college student, but as of right now, I feel like that hasn’t gotten me very far. I mean I can barely even find a part-time summer job. It’s rough …

It’s 2014 and settling for the local boo just isn’t the way any longer. There are more long distance relationships thriving then ever before. I meet countless of men/women including myself dating people from different cities. So the big question is how do you know if you are in a …

  Are you that girlfriend? You know, the one who wiggles her way into every boys night? You know well in advance that your man has plans and you were even nice enough to make his favorite snacks for the occasion. What he didn’t know, is that you’d be right there …

  We all want Love, some of us more than others. Although there are a few that refuse to admit it, it is a natural desire to be desired. Not only do we want to be desired, we want to be adored and admired. Yes, we are wired to want …

I am a giver. Ew, not that! Well, that too but that’s not what I’m talking about. I am referring to the art of gift giving. Anyone can walk into a mall, purchase something they think you’ll like and throw it in a box with a big red bow. That’s …

I’m an introvert. I often keep to myself. I’m polite, but I only speak to strangers in public when I feel like it.  I people watch to get a feel for the crowd before I begin sharing my words and thoughts. I have my moments where I do NOT like …

  Are you contributing to your future by contributing to your 401(K) plan? Do you have any clue as to what a 401(K) plan is? If your answers to these questions are no, then you need to continue reading. A 401(K) is an employer sponsored retirement savings program or “contribution” …

The term gold-digger has been used for centuries to describe women who seek out partners of a certain level of wealth with the sole purpose of exploiting that person. Many people often relate this term to Kanye West’s 2009 song that states, “Now I ain’t sayin she a gold digger, …

To all the women of America who is freaking out because she has yet to get that call from “him” after that incredible sex; relax, squeeze those Kegel muscles girl and RELAX. Oh, and remember not to hold your breath because the waiting game could last just as long as …

You know what I hate, well, besides everything? Fine, I’ll tell you. I hate the ‘single people shouldn’t give relationship advice’ mentality. Where do people come up with this stuff? ‘Hmph, there’s a reason she’s single.’ While I have made plenty mistakes firsthand, I make an attempt to learn by …

“How much are you tipping?” “He/she really wasn’t that great …” “I would’ve given them a better tip, but did you see how much they charged for gratuity?” “You don’t understand how hard it is to be a server!” We’ve all taken an extra moment to calculate, “How much should …

From birth to age eighteen a girl needs good parents, from eighteen to thirty-five she needs good looks.  From thirty-five to fifty-five she needs a good personality. From fifty-five on she needs CASH. –Sophia Tucker No plan can begin without a clear vision and goals. I am a huge believer in …

  “Being a good girl that you are I bet you probably believe you got a good man..” Who can forget the world wind romance of Usher and Chilli, they had the picture perfect R&B  love that so many people (including myself) dreamed for, until Usher hit us with his greatest album …

Chile. If I never see the word loyal again it would be too soon. The way people toss the word around you would think it was a game of Hot Potato. Maybe I wouldn’t mind so much if people were using it in it’s correct context. Or perhaps I just …

I can remember a time when giving head was taboo and rarely talked about. Once rappers and singers made it popular, I saw a vast change in men’s opinion on oral sex. Not only were they getting, they bragged about their skills giving it. Using social media and text messaging …

by @tatynicolee  Mardi Gras, beefcakes, and monster-in-laws. Here’s what happened on last night’s LHHATL episode: In case y’all forgot from last week’s episode, there was a bit of trouble going on in “newlywed” paradise. Joseline called herself ignoring and holding off on Stevie J after finding some exposing pictures of …
