Princess Arabella is a Big Sister by Mylo Freeman: book review
We first met Princess Arabella back in 2016. I bought the books at the Cassava Republic UK Launch, in London. I also met the author Mylo Freeman and interviewed her for the blog. We fell in love with Princess Arabella’s cheeky spunky personality. Now,...
Moji Pops Collectibles- Series 1 Review
When my eldest was a toddler, he went through a brief biting phase. I spoke to an assistant at the Children’s Centre. sShe explained that children sometimes did that when they didn’t have the words yet to express themselves. From that day, I began helping...
Natural Fusions Haircare Review (sponsored by Palmer’s)
I first glimpsed Palmer’s Natural Fusions range on Instagram via Yolanda Renee (@etcblogmag) over the Xmas hols. My eyes lit up! Here was a range that looked pretty and contained some of my fav natural ingredients: lavender, neem and Tahitani Monoi oils. ...
Cantu Care for Kids review (sponsored by CantubeautyUK)
I’ve been using Cantu haircare on my tresses for a few years. I usually have something from the brand in my cupboard. My favourite is the leave-in-conditioner which I use as a hair styler. When Miss V turned 5, I began using some of my haircare products...
From Anna Wintour to Zadie Smith: book review
When I was first offered a review opportunity for From Anna Wintor to Zadie Smith (A to Z), I was uncertain. Perhaps it was the title, in my mind it would be images of personalities. I can stand corrected and totally got the mission of Raimah Amevor,...
Mira’s Curly Hair: book review

Purity London organic skincare
Recently, I responded to the Insta call for testers to trial Purity London’s new skincare range. Currently, milks seem to be popular cleansers for sensitive skin but I just can’t get uses to it. I still prefer a foam or wash. I was in the mood for a...
A Lunch Date At The Albany (sponsored)
I read in a magazine recently that only two thirds of parents agree that date nights are important; nearly half are put off by the expense or tiredness. Hubby and I can totally relate but our way around it is by going on weekday lunch dates. It allows us...
Maisie’s Scrapbook: book review
I know I may be biased, but I always get excited when a picture book comes out with mixed heritage family. Maisie’s Scrapbook was sent to me a little while ago in PDF form by Lantana Publishing. They wanted us read it and comment for the blurb. However,...

On 1 February 1968, two Memphis garbage collectors, Echol Cole and Robert Walker, were crushed to death by a malfunctioning truck. Eleven days later, frustrated by the city’s response to the latest event in a long pattern of neglect and abuse of its black...
TIGERTALES.
Hi! I’m Maria. My family and I live in London but I’m originally from Trinidad, West Indies. My beloved and I got married in 2006. He’s Chinese/Italian. When we decided to increase our family, the first inevitable question was ‘what the child would look like?’... [ + ]
