Sho & Tell- March Edit

April 15, 2020

Sho&Tell for March is coming a bit late because things have been a bit off due to COVID-19. I am entering week 5 of Social Distancing and also still working from home. I am grateful to still be employed during this time of uncertainty. Again, I will admit things have been tough adjusting to the “new normal”.

This month I am sharing some of the items that I am using more regularly now due to me being home for 85% of the week. I hope you guys are staying safe, sane and indoors. I CAN NOT wait for outside to open up again. Most of the items are going to be able to be purchased off Amazon, and the links are listed down below!

#DettyDecember and everything you need to know about traveling to Lagos

February 5, 2020

Happy New Year, guys! I hope everyone is off to a fantastic start so far for 2020. I am finally well-rested from my Amazing trip to Lagos, Nigeria. This December, I got to travel back home with my family and 14 friends. Yes, we were a total of 20, and some who have never been to Africa before. For me, this was my first time back in 5 years and my 5th time visiting Lagos. This was my first time really exploring and going out in Lagos. If you have never been to Lagos, add it to your list of places to travel during December because December in Lagos is a whole vibe. I honestly don’t even know where to start without making this post a full novel, because there is so much I want to share about my trip. First and foremost, let’s start with how far out to plan this trip and all the things you should get before stepping into Lagos.

Roka Akor- Dining in SF

November 20, 2019

The one great thing about living in a new city is exploring the food options. I rarely dine in San Francisco, but I’m going to start making an effort. Going into SF on the weekend is the same feeling I use to have about going to BK from Harlem. It seemed like a journey and a half, and I rarely did it. I’m exaggerating a bit on the SF side; the only thing that makes it difficult is that transit here is a whole hot mess! Also, don’t get me started on the crazy hills and why I’m terrified of driving in SF.

Anyways, I did make the venture to SF, and I’m so glad I did because my friend took me to this gem of a restaurant called Roka Akor, which is a restaurant that serves Modern Japanese food with strong drinks, and beautiful decor! This is a great spot for a date night, girls night, or any night you want some good food!

When you have to push the pause and reset button

Hi There, I know I know, its been foreverrrrr! I do apologize for being MIA for so long, but sometimes you just need to push pause and take a break. That is precisely what I had to do. With so much new going on, I needed to take a break from Our Perfect Palette, and no, I did not anticipate to be gone this long. During my break, I was able to focus on launching my own business, yup your girl is a BUSINESS OWNER!! I’m also a little more acquainted with the West Coast since my one year anniversary just passed, it’s so crazy how time flies!

So what have I been up to since I was not cooking up reciepes and blogging on OPP?

In June, I finally launched my own company, called Dabira Candle Company. Which is going to be your new favorite candle company! Dabira (Pronounced “DAB-E-RAH”) is a Yoruba word with a dual meaning serenity, and God Does Wonders.
