Red & Lace

Hello My Lovliesss, How have you all been? Sorry for the long hiatus; as they say, it was due to circumstances beyond my control. So i had the shortest stint ever with red hair;  I have never been a team natural or team perm person. Like i always say "its just hair" but damn, i never know how to style my hair and it can be frustrating sometimes. I must have complained about 100 times to berry & bex. I woke up one day and was so so so bored with my hair and i decided to color it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with coloring your hair but not when you aren't sure about what color to get :-) My sisters were convinced i was going through some sort of mid-life crisis...lol.  I set out to dye it honey-blonde or chestnut but ended up with red that should have been wine/burgundy...lol. Now you see how confused i was???. Anyways i had the color on for just one week but i didn't like all the attention i got. (Everyone loved it though). I am one very shy person (hard t...

Hello My Lovliessss, Hope you had a good weekend? I promised to bring pictures from my birthday but unfortunately, i didn't get round to taking any plus i told you it would be a quiet one. For some reason, it was such a busy monday at work and i don't know why i assumed my workload would miraculously reduce for my birthday...lol. Anyways, i had fun because my friends surprised me and popped in to see me at work. Got loads of flowers, cakes and presents.   So i thought my birthday was over on monday but i kept getting presents and cakes up until two days ago. My darling berry and her husband cakes surprised me with this gorgeous bouquet of cupcakes. Trust me, this picture doesn't do justice to how lovely they looked. It tasted so delicious too. Thank you Kessiena & Berry. Follow cakes @cakesiena to see more. Meanwhile, i said to myself that my darling readers would think i have forgotten the giveaway i promised last month; i have finally gotten round to it. I wanted ...

Birthday Girl... Forever 21

Hey My Loviessss, How have you all been? Long time, i know i've been so behind on my posts. I would love to explain but guess what? IT'S MY BIRTHDAY and i know you would all forgive my sins today...LOL.   So i woke up today feeling all happy, excited and thankful for the 25th of August. This is one day in the year dedicated to me. I remember my birthdays growing up; if it was a school day, mummy dearest would make sure i celebrate in school with all my classmates and if it was a weekend, there would definitely be a parry at home or somewhere sha. (God bless you in Heaven Mama). What i remember vividly and miss dearly was her coming into the bedroom really early, waking me up with the 'Happy birthday tooo youuuuu' song followed by her prayers. Fast forward to recent years and as i get older, i just want to have a quiet birthday with loads and loads of presents sha...hhahaha. Oh well, lets see what the rest of the day brings. I would definitely be posting on instagram ...

Bows in August

Hello Loviessss, Happy New Month!!! Hope you all had a splendid weekend? I had a pretty good one half wishing there could be a repeat of the short holiday (if wishes were horses...). Anyways i have been in a very happy mood because its my birthday month and there is so much to be thankful for.  My mind drifted to my primary school days when we would form a big circle break time and sing the popular song "All those that are born in January...." I am not sure i knew the correct lyrics then because i used to say " All those that are born in August stand up stand up, ariya riya roses God bless you..."Hahaaha. Whatever ariya riya meant then only God knows...LOL. Anyways, fast forward to today and thank God for my friend google, i searched childhood songs and i almost passed out from laughing; remembering the songs we used to sing then and also the correct lyrics...lol. Well if you went to primary school in Nigeria, you would remember the following songs: - Who stole the ...

Standing Tall in the Storm & Dancing in the Rain

Hello My Loviesss, Happy Eid-Mubarak. I have been so happy since friday and i am sure you know why; the much needed break has been the best thing to happen to me since sliced bread :-p. I have been working,working and working, wondering when i'll get some time out just to catch my breath and thankfully, Eid-Mubarak made it happen. So I woke up about 5am today -can you imagine on a holiday; i guess my body is just used to it. As i lay in bed listening to the sound of rain, my mind sort of drifted to the popular saying ' Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain'. There are so many interpretations given to this saying: - Not letting bad stuff get you down - Not allowing anything deter you from reaching your full potentials - Learning to enjoy the journey and having a positive attitude in the stormy seasons - Not wasting time and waiting around for the perfect time to start living your life. - Learning to adapt to change no mat...

Denim, Dusty Pleats & Help!!!

Hey Loviesssss, Hope you had a fabulous weekend? Mine was alright, i spent saturday at a retreat and sunday i tried to rest and cook. So my favorite meal is beans and dodo plantain, the softer the better...hehehe and trust me when i say i can make all kinds of beans, in fact, my beans has been nicknamed designer beans...LOL. Anyways, on to my story. I set out to make one of my special beans recipes with snails, fish, beef etc cut in tiny pieces and i had prepped everything when i realized the beans had weevils in it (Thats when i should have known that there was drama coming my way). I quickly sent someone to the market (Btw, I love cooking but dislike going to the market - I prefer organized spaces for shopping) to get some for me and she came back with the popular "honey beans" (supposed to be tastier than the normal one) and i started my wonderful meal. I put it on my cooker at about 4pm and at 7pm, the beans was still hard as rock; i kept adding warm water as usual and i...
