TARA TALK TALK

My name is one very significant name, Omotara but I'll explain that some other day. I am a bright, beautiful young lady and I have my parents to thank. Most of us have been trained to conceptualize the idea of beauty as being perfect. Perfect physique, perfect eyes, perfect lips, perfect hair - in other words, too perfect to be human. The question of who decides who is beautiful is one that has always puzzled me. So I decided to do a bit of 'investigating' on my own.While indulging in a long gist with my girlfriends over lunch, I asked them to define girl who's beautiful. They all sang the same song, the girl with a fine, well chiseled face and a sculptured body. With this I rest my case.

Hey guys, how's the weekend coming up? I'm sure you had a wonderful Friday night. Did you let your hair loose or were you guarded by beliefs peculiar to you? I was on my own this morning, preparing for my power-point presentation when I stumbled on some pictures posted on  Cosmopolitan's  Online Blog. I found it very interesting to share, but before I do, here's a teaser. How many times have you tried to make a decision about what to wear and it seemed like an uphill task? Is it because most ladies sincerely don't know what to wear or because you are faced with the challenge of not creating the wrong impression in the minds of her family, friends, colleagues, admirers or/and strangers? I won't conclude yet but I can bet that often times than not, the second instance is the reason most ladies spend hours in their closet in the bid to get the most appropriate outfit.  Should a lady's worth be judged by what she wears?

Are you spending more time with your smartphone than with your partner -- even during romantic dates? ‘ 50 percent of the time I am with Omar, I'm either playing games on my Ipad or chatting away with my friends on blackberry and other social networking sites. Lately we haven't had a real discussion. I don't find him boring, far from it but I can't but touch my phone. I think its a disorder. I think it’s beginning to affect us. It got so bad that one night after we had sex, I picked my phone and started to play games. He thought I was chatting with my friends but when he saw what I was doing, he got very displeased ’ said Jamila. Sound familiar?  In the last 15 years the mobile phone has conquered the world.  I could make a list of 50 ways these phones have improved our lives.   But if you’re like me and can remember what life was like before we all got mobile phones, you may wonder if all the changes are really for the good.  Remember love notes,

How this gist with my colleague and I at work started I don't know but It inspired me to write this. So we were watching a political rally and we noticed one of the prominent people present was busy grinning at his mobile phone while his wife, the first lady of that state was smiling cheerfully while waving the party's flag. My colleague at work concluded that he was probably sexting his bae and couldn't be bothered about the stupid rally anyways. He probably couldn't wait to jet off to meet his bae already. I was amazed at her thought and I argued that he was probably tweeting about the rally, checking updates and reading news online. She disagreed o! She said the average black man is a cheat as long as he has roots from Africa. So I allowed her continue, and she explained that she had heard so many reasons why men cheat and she can only blame the girlfriends or wives. This reminded me of a friend (Tomiwa) that became a serial cheat overnight. His reason.... h

This might shock a lot of my readers, but I'm going to anyways. So I've lived on this face of the earth for twenty something years and I know quite a lot of things some of my peers don't. I hear that a girl should not date more than 5 men in her lifetime before she settles. This brings me to the question "is there no difference between dating and a relationship?" If you have an answer, please feel free to share with me. Me thinks there's a difference, going on dates means you're not officially exclusive to one person. You can see other people but in a relationship, it demands your loyalty. You can disagree if you please. May I add that it's OK to go on a couple of dates with prospective partners till you are sure you are ready to go the long walk with just one of them.  I don't subscribe to cheating although it's almost inevitable that one of the couple might fall victim. Never lose yourself while you are in relationship. It shou
