Meet Lecia-Gaye Taylor as told by Alecia James

My girlfriend Alecia James has an absolutely amazing website called Creative Ajay. The site encourages us to “Be Bold. Be Alluring. Be Different.”  It’s an absolutely fascinating site which offers something for everyone from the lens of an individual who always thinks outside the box. So imagine my surprise and excitement when she asked if I’d be...

The Grinch who stole Christmas

I am not a fan of Christmas (if ever there was an understatement), so that's means I'm not big on Christmas gifts, I don't do Christmas decorations, I absolutely detest Christmas carols (well, except for that one Mariah Carey album), and it irks me (read: drives me nuts) that all the radio and television stations smother...

The good, the bad and the ugly! One year and counting…

They say the first three years of marriage is the hardest. Well, after only 402 days of marriage, we've had some pretty heated moments, and we have contemplated divorce... even murder! But we both agree that we'd be pretty darn miserable without each other (and we really hate prison). So, here are the discoveries or the reminders of why...

Love the skin you’re in!

It started off as a single red patch, like a ringworm… nothing that a little over-the-counter antifungal cream can't cure. Then suddenly, it was spreading like wild-fire all over my body.  Panic stricken and utterly helpless I called dermatologist Dr. Marsha Barnett, who was more than happy to accommodate me at short notice. If you...
