New Year’s Resolutions I Should Make But Probably Won’t
Happy New Year, peoples! It’s a new year and new opportunity to get my life right. Although technically, every day should be a chance for self-improvement. But anywho, you know it’s that time again: RESOLUTIONS!!! However, I don’t make a habit of making them, because I’m fickle and senile. Mostly senile though. I know me. [...]
I’m Going to the 2012 Academy Awards!
If you’re part of my Facebook fam or follow me on Twitter, this is probably not new news. But last week, I got GREAT news that I (and Afrobella) have been credentialed to be on the Academy Awards Red Carpet, on February 26, 2012! We’ll be doing press coverage and live-tweeting from the Oscar’s, pre-show [...]
True Life: I Found A Gray Hair
In less than a month, I turn 27, and last week, I found my first gray hair. I was pinning up my locs, and I was looking in the mirror to make sure I got the style right. I was placing a pin in my hair when I saw something that looked like a thin, [...]
I’m So Thankful. Lemme Tell You Why
On this Thanksgiving Day, I am so thankful because I am blessed in so many ways, and I give God all the credit. I’d like to give glory to God for another year where no one calls me “Mom.” His grace and mercies have my ultimate gratitude for this. SHOULDACOMEINAHYUNDAI! Jesus is the homie for [...]
The Foreign Name Struggle Is Real
Yesterday was my post telling parents to quit naming their kids stupidly. It turned out to be EPIC, with 300 comments on it and counting (record for this blog). And y’all might have made my site crash for a good hour yesterday with ratchetness. Folks acted UP in those comments. I spent way too much [...]
New YORRRKKK, Concrete Jungles Wet Dreams Tomatoes…
Hehehehe, that will never stop being funny to me. Every since I saw this pic on Tumblr a coupla months back, it’s ruined my ability to sing the actual lyrics to that song. And I keep picturing Christina Aguilera singing it while doing one of her excessive runs. It gives me quite the gigglefits. Anywho… [...]
Google AdSense is a Hater And They Disabled My Account
So a couple of weeks ago, I got an automated email from Google AdSense saying: “After reviewing our records, we’ve determined that your AdSense account poses a risk of generating invalid activity. Because we have a responsibility to protect our AdWords advertisers from inflated costs due to invalid activity, we’ve found it necessary to disable [...]
Dear Roach That Punked Me Last Night
I saw a roach in my apartment last night. And it punked me. So I decided to write it a sternly-worded letter. Dear Roach, You won this round. And might win the entire battle too. I’ve yet to come to terms with your presence in my crib. In fact, I might just let you have [...]

It’s a Celebration on AwesomelyLuvvie.com! Giveaway Time!
I’m always tardy for the party, even when it’s my own. August was insanely busy for me. So busy that I forgot a major special occasion here on AwesomelyLuvvie.com! On August 8, 2006, I launched this blog with a simple post, not thinking it would turn into anything but a random space for me to [...]
I Want My Face In Times Square for About.me
I mean, who doesn’t? I’m pretty shallow too. Anywho, so… the website About.me is having a contest to find someone to become the FACE of their company, ending up on a giant billboard on Times Square. Well, I wanna be that person. It’s easy, just head to my about.me page and click “vote”: http://about.me/luvvie. Just [...]
I Was Chosen as a 30 Under 30. Check Me Out!
So blessings rain down on me continuously and I just want to do all types of church scoots. God is clearly doing the wop and the cabbage patch in my life AS WE SPEAK! That’s the only explanation I got for it. What happened this time? Wells… The Black AIDS Institute, one of the leading organizations [...]
Guess Who’s On Eight Bus Ads In Chicago? The Red Pump Project!

We raise awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS on women & girls, using red pumps as a symbol of empowerment. We’re national, with ambassadors around the country and we have events and [...]
