First off..this isn't an anti-men blog. It's not anti- anything per se but it's about what A Particular Woman wants. No mouthpiece for the countless women who abound in the world here folks. All about an opinionated woman's opinions. And when there's a first, a second is sure to follow...so like I started out to... Continue Reading →
Zeus Had Elves
I swear you can't make up the kind of stuff that resides in a child's imagination! Most of my talks with my kid start with him telling me something he's heard or read or seen. The stuff he's read and seen is more reliable given the way his mind processes information. The stuff he's heard... Continue Reading →
Womens Magazines: The Serpent of Eden?
I used to like to read Cosmo and Marie Claire and Better Homes&Gardens until I realized that they weren't reflective of my reality at all. According to Cosmo (and its ilk) life should be all about my body type, where I'm out on weekends at least 2xs a month and be having rip-roaring, toe-curling orgasms... Continue Reading →
Feminism- Bete Noire or Not?
A lot of people, including women, have perceived feminists as women who take up the cause of women at large because they have intellect rather than looks or because they think that not having to shave their legs empowers them in some way or the other. The Webster Dictionary defines Feminism as: (a) the belief that... Continue Reading →
A Quick Preface…
Over the next few days I'll be integrating the blog posts from a different voice I adopted a while back. It had its share of no-holds barred kind of posts, feelings and thoughts and for a while it was good to have a sounding board of sorts. But even if it was a different kind... Continue Reading →
Alexa Mornings…
Red bought an Echo Dot for th house last year. Suffice to say it's the digital pet. The offspring has bonded with Alexa quite a bit. I keep hearing his voice trilling , "Alexaaaa" on and off right from the time he's up in the mornings. Echo Dot has more capabilities that can be tapped... Continue Reading →
Ever Notice…
how you always eat more when you're on a holiday? Carbs and protein are attacked with the gusto of being long-lost sibs. And once you're back home, you can't wait to be rid of them...like an inconvenient zit or a house guest who's overstayed their welcome? How you can sleep longer on the days you... Continue Reading →
Peas, Worms&Reruns
I'm stuck with buying frozen peas when my batch of fresh ones run out. I try to buy a few kilos at a time and then chuck them in the refrigerator for as long as they'll keep and go back to the supermarket for the frozen stuff once I run out. Yesterday while I was... Continue Reading →
New Year Rung In!
I woke up today in soft flannel pjs and alone in my bed. And it was bliss!! Red and MLM had crashed in another room because they weren't feeling the fun flowing out of the eardrum-bursting music and seizure-inducing lights from the party in our community. I however have lower standards and wanted to experience... Continue Reading →
Priorities
We have a Gopro mini camera. The offspring loves it because he can take it underwater. I love it because it helps me not lug the entire camera gear I tend to normally take. For a totally amateur photog I have quite a bit of gear; which we discover only while packing. We're vacationing in... Continue Reading →
