Hey Fresh Graduate, It’s a year already. One whole year after graduating university. And it’s nothing like I thought it would be. I thought I would be living the ideal post-graduate life but right now, it’s the exact opposite. What a shocker! I’m supposed to be doing my masters in jand right now with oyinbo [...]
Book Title: A Waist Is a Terrible Thing to Mind Author: Karen Scalf Linamen Number of Pages: 194 Price: 11 USD (I got mine on sale for about 4 USD) Soo straight to it! I won’t lie and say this book is not one of the most amazing I’ve read in a long time. If [...]
CHANGING MY BED – A GOODBYE LETTER. In a couple of weeks, I'd be changing my bed because I've been using it for a while now and it has gotten a lot less firmer than it used to be. So here's to my (soon-to-be-former) bed for staying with me through thick and thin. Hey you, [...]
Imagine this scenario and DO NOT LIE! I’m serious. Imagine it. You are at your place of work. Let’s assume you’re the front desk person or wait, no. You’re a management staff. You just happened to be at the reception to pick up something. The receptionist is not present at the moment. A bad ass [...]
Nothing in life is absolutely free. Familiar huh? Well, it wasn’t to me. Not at the time. The year was 2004 and my age was 6. It was that time when pet bottles were not common. Soft drinks were more common in glass bottles with covers that we usually gathered and used as counters then. [...]
I’ve received my own fair share of advice in my time and many of them have been helpful. In the same vein however, many of them can classify as the worst advice you could ever give to anyone and SHOULD NOT be taken as they are. Most times, people can advise you because they just [...]
We sincerely regret… We are sorry but… We regret to inform you… We appreciate your interest but… What do these lines have in common? All popular openings to rejection letters. You would know if you have received enough in your time. I have, and to be honest, rejection hurts. Whether small or large-scale rejection. It [...]
Being a busty girl has never been all easy but still, I love myself and I love my body. So when I get looked at or treated like I'm just some piece of raw meat to be glared at and desired, I start feeling very conscious of my body and I hate that feeling so [...]
Just a few months back, I had literally no answer to the question: what is the most scared you have ever been? Fast forward to after NYSC camp. I would now consider the thump thump of my heart as I lay under the bed staring at the soldiers boot so close to my nose as he searched [...]
Psalms 121:1-2 Of course, it is only wise to look for strength in the strong and what better strength than the Lion of the Tribe of Judah Himself (whoop!) But a lot of us 'lift up our eyes to the hills' more by mouth than by heart. We're quick to worry and panic when things [...]
Yes...God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. All those times when you feel like He isn't listening or He doesn't understand, He is there watching you and saying "Sweetie, I created you. No one can understand you like I do". Of course no one can, or do you understand [...]
The period of living in Lagos without a car might be one of the defining periods in your life. I mean it. I am totally not kidding. You would know this especially if you don’t have the money to spend on Uber or Taxify daily. Who would do that when you are going to be [...]
Going to quickly write this before I change my mind. It's my first post back to the blog in over a month. The break was really sudden, even to me and I'll tell y'all about it today. I was going to post my 20 before 20 post about 4 weeks ago. It took me a [...]
Hi people! How is February going? With the way the sun in this Lagos is ehn, I've had to keep making myself drink a lot of water to avoid being dehydrated. One of my goals for February is to pay more attention to my skincare routine, part of which is drinking a lot of water. [...]
Finally guys...finally!!! This January that had 425,218 days is finally over! Or am I the only one that thought the month was exceptionally long🙄? Haha! Anyways, Happy New Month! January was basically work work work. I started working at my place of primary assignment for NYSC and I totally love the place. But of course, [...]
I once posted this story on my medium page and I thought it would be fun to post it here too. Have a good read. This is just a story of how my ‘long throat’ (or ‘longer throat’ as I used to call it in primary school) almost put me in trouble. It was my [...]
You would definitely know when your village people don't want you to prosper but God is on your side. I learnt that today. The hard way! So I just started working at this new place for my NYSC (National Youth Service Corps) and I absolutely love it. It has been really exciting. I've not really [...]
We've all been through heartbreak at some point in our lives. Yes, we ALL have. I know I have. Remember that time you wanted to go out with mummy and she said "Go get your shoes" but before you came back, she was gone. Yeah, Heartbreak! Remember that beautiful, beautiful gift you wanted so badly [...]
Hello fam! I hope your week has been great. I'm doing this post on request because Batch B Stream 2 guys are going to camp soon and they've been asking me to do a post so they can know how to prepare for camp. I feel really excited writing this... Like a mother advising her [...]
Hello guyssss...As usual, I missed y'all so much. This one week is always feeling like I've been gone for more than a week. I guess I would have to start posting more often than once a week (somebody say whoooooo!!!!!). So today is all fun and games because I would sharing a list compiled by [...]
