Stephanie Smith is Making 300 Sandwiches For Love And an Engagement Ring, Would You?

Posted: 26 Sep 2013 04:02 PM PDT


I saw this story over on Sisi Yemmie's blog and it was so captivating, I had to go check out the lady, Stephanie Smith and her blog. Stephanie started a food [sandwiches mostly] blog based on the fact that her boyfriend loves her sandwiches and had one day mentioned that he would propose after he eats 300 of her sandwiches. What I like is her sense of fun in taking on the project and from her bio below it's clear she knows that the relationship may not end in marriage.

One day, I made E a turkey and swiss sandwich on toasted wheat bread. E got so excited, he ate the entire meal without coming up for air. Then he made the declaration, "honey, you're three hundred sandwiches away from an engagement ring."

I had no idea a sandwich could be so transformative. In turn, I hit the kitchen.

300 Sandwiches tracks the journey between two people in love as they share experiences and emotions through food. The blog chronicles our adventures, arguments, holidays, special times and average days over the course of 300 sandwiches.

I will learn how to cook amazing food, we will learn more about each other, and hopefully my boyfriend will make good on his promise.

Even if he doesn't, the journey will be tasty enough for me. And I hope for you, too.

The blog has been getting loads of PR because Stephanie is a writer herself for one of the top New York magazines. Some of those who've featured her love her and her blog idea, others are not so flattering.

I'm a fan because I believe in doing what you like doing, and doing it well. Stephanie describes herself as a foodie, and even though her boyfriend is the one who does most of the cooking in the relationship, he loves her sandwiches and is only full of praises for it. I wish them luck in love and the best for blog.

Would you take such a challenge from your boyfriend with the fun intended or is that the end of the relationship?

Would You Want a Celebrity at Your Wedding - Maybe Usian Bolt or The Governor of Your State?

Posted: 26 Sep 2013 08:04 AM PDT


Some days ago, while on vacation in Europe, Usain Bolt was stopped by a couple having their wedding. They wanted to have a picture with him, and they did as you can see above. Some days ago as well, last weekend I think, the news came out that the governor of Benue State was on the bridal train of a new couple, he was the best man.


My question is, would you like to take photos with a well known public figure on your wedding day, or have them as part of your train?

Of course, if you know a celebrity or a well known public figure, you can't just not invite them to your celebration, but what if they arrive with the paparazzi in tow?

DJ Switch, X-Factor Nigeria Winner Opens Up on Being a Single Mother and Her Sour Relationship With her Family

Posted: 26 Sep 2013 02:00 AM PDT


DJ Switch, real name Obianuju Catherine Udeh, is the winner of the very first X-Factor Nigeria TV Show taking home a cash purse of N24m, an SUV and a recording contract with SONY Music. The winner revealed that she has an eight year old daughter and apologized for abandoning her family while things were not so good for her.


She is quoted as saying, "I am sorry mum for being away from home for so long while in search of glory. Now that I am back, I will take good care of you. I was like a prodigal son who had an opportunity in the past but due to youthful exuberance I mismanaged the resources. Now, I am a better person and more matured, I won't disappoint my mum and my fans."

According to NETng, DJ Switch also told Encomium Weekly, that she gave birth to her only child, back in 2005, three years before winning the STAR Quest music show along with Da Pulse, but that she was not with her daughter's father anymore. She is now in another relationship that has lasted three years. 'He understands me, I understand him….We don't pry into each other's business but we always make out time to see each other'.

With her winnings, there will certainly be more men coming around her. She needs wisdom now more than ever. RML wishes her the best as she reconciles with her family and pursues her career in music.
