National Fried Chicken Day

6 July, 20160

It's July 6th and millions nationwide will be partaking in #NationalFriedChickenDay! History says Scottish immigrants are widely believed to have brought fried chicken to the U.S.A., but it was African immigrants, brought to work on plantations in southern states, that improved the recipe with varied spices and seasonings. Someway the lines got crossed and Fried Chicken became not only a negative connotation, and a stereotype. However, gone are the days where Mr. BoJangles is the face of fried chicken Read more [...]

Have a thief ever came and took you? Have you ever been minding your own business and all of a sudden you look up and you were gone? You are probably thinking to yourself of course not.

Love Me Ugly

4 May, 20160

Everyone has a preference, maybe he likes thick women, maybe she likes men with beards. Maybe she doesn't like short guys, maybe he doesn't like women with short hair. Either way someone will always be beautiful to someone and someone will always be ugly to someone. What you deem ugly doesn't matter, because if a man is ugly to a woman, he can make her laugh and feel safe and he's no longer ugly anymore. Same for women, some qualities make men who would otherwise see her as unattractive start to Read more [...]

If Looks Could Kill, What Kind of Murderer Would You Be?

19 April, 20160

Typically, when someone says "If Looks Could Kill," they are talking about someone's physical attributes. That perfectly created masterpiece of a human specimen is so mesmerizing, that their looks could literally stop our hearts. However, there are so many other looks that could kill in a far more painful way. Here are three that I thought of. Could you think of more? Disappointment: Here I was in the fifth grade, "bushy-tailed and bright eyed" as they say, and his name was Andre. Copper toned Read more [...]

The Messy Girl Chronicles: Isabel Dandridge

5 April, 20160

I am probably the biggest mess you will ever meet. A true survivor ever since I could remember, but a lover of pain, lusting after torture. I am my biggest mistake. A tortured soul. How do you run from yourself? To tell you the truth, I don't even know how I got here. How did I become this woman? Was it my childhood? Was it my parents? Or is it just the way my chromosomes match up? Why do I love so hard? Why do I feel peoples pain? Why is my empathy on a level that I don't find often in others? I Read more [...]

29 March, 20160

If you know anything about TotallyRandie, then you know I am a philanthropy/foodie nazi amongst many other things. I'll try anything once, maybe twice just to get a better opinion. That's why Houston/Any City Restaurant Week is one of my favs! It merges the two! However I asked the same question as did PBS in 2012 "Where are the black chefs?". Well we have been seeing an increase in black culinary artist, and this week Houston unveils its inaugural Houston Black Restaurant Week that celebrates Read more [...]

5 Lessons You Learn About Marriage From The Outside Looking In

15 March, 20160

If you follow me on social media, then you are probably aware that I was just in North Carolina celebrating the 5th Anniversary of some really good friends of mine. To see people value marriage is like a cold glass of water in today's desert society. This blog has NOTHING to do with them or their marriage. Their event was simply the muse behind it. They inspired me to have this conversation. With that being said, you don't have to be married for marriage to teach you some very important lessons. Read more [...]
