My 90's

My 90’s posts below are a precursor to this post or why I loved the 90’s. Foremost I grew up during this period so I have some happy memories. Though the fashion wasn’t and isn’t considered the best and most just think of oversized and grunge-like attire, I was instead rocking what I like to call ghetto afro-chic. Now let’s not get the use of ghetto mixed up with trashy or poor type get up because I was looking slamming! The afro-chic is due to my mother and her idea of mixing African pieces with Western style; so whilst I was rocking a Diana Ross type afro I was also rocking black leggings paired crop top with African design (must find pics). I must remind you I was pretty young 5+ but damn did I look fierce! The 90’s for me were when I stayed out all day rollerblading or biking through the woods, playing football or having water fights, when penny sweets actually cost pennies and I could get on the bus with just my big smile. I remember the high-top hair styles the boys use to rock and when Nike and Adidas were where it was at, does anyone remember Hi-Tech?

Not to say the 90’s were perfect, of course not let’s not forget dear old Thatcher or John Mayor; however for me and my memories of being a youth through this decade the 90’s where blissful. I like that people now are embracing some of the goodies of the 90’s like the one-sided hair-styles, high-waisted trousers/shorts and denim is back on track.

What is your favourite era past or present?

When I next interview someone, I am so doing this.

Interviews are never easy but this is just ridiculous but oh so funny:




As a black woman I always wonder if my colour affects any position I do or do not get however I do not let it define me like this:



There are so many things wrong with her interview technique, one being her public display of affection for her sandwich.

I think interviews are like battles you face in the war that is job hunting. You prepare for them meticulously learning and training at University or maybe forgoing the academic route opting for the hands on experience approach. Either way both avenues lead to scrupulous company research or re-con. Then the fight begins and you are not only up against others applying for the same position but also against yourself. If you can overcome your nerves, insecurities and uncertainties, you’ve already won the battle and with a little luck and a cracking CV the war of the job hunt itself.

God speed and May the force be with you!
