CUPCAKE DIVA.....

Hey guys, if you are on my Instagram timeline you would know what I was up to today. Yep! After 4 years of not baking I picked up my spatula and baking pans and got baking.

I was bored one day and decided that it was time to bake again. I wanted to bake something different so I went to YouTube to check out some tutorials. I decided to try red velvet cake. I watched almost 10 videos and each had different styles of making it. But I settled for one from a lady in U.K (can't remember her name).

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT…..THE SKINNY GIRL GUIDE

Hi you guys, how was your Christmas celebration? Mine was booorrriiiinnnngggg. I live too far from most of the fun spots that i like and i also was not willing to go to over crowded, infection prone places so i stayed at home. And it was super boring, yikes!

So yes, back to the topic. I know that a lot of people would say what the heck is does she know about losing weight. She is as skinny as a stick. But while talking to my mum i realised that my bad eating habits which has afforded me the inability to gain weight might actually be the way to lose weight. So i am going to list my poor eating habits and turn them to 'how to lose weight tips'.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.......

Merry, Merry Christmas everyone..... Ho, ho, ho (in Father Christmas' voice). When I was little the most amazing things about Christmas were the new outfits we would get, the gifts and our unofficial tradition of going to Apapa amusement park some days before Christmas where we would eat cotton candy (I miss cotton candy, last one I ate was in South Africa), go on various rides (I miss amusement parks) and being the eldest when we went to NTA 10's stand I would wish my mummy and daddy and aunties and uncles a merry Christmas...hahaha (don't laugh at me o, it was fun and not embarrassing at that time).

LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX BABY.......

Hold it! I know what is going on in your minds but bear with me and just read what i have to say. Before i write on today's topic, i need to say this. I am sometimes skeptical in writing some of my experiences here because i was once told that i talk too much but i am beginning to realise that it is a good thing i write what i go through and the lessons i learn. It is really amazing when someone comes to me or sends a message to me that my post inspired them or they could connect with what i said and it encouraged them. So expect more honesty from me because if i can help one person live a better life then i am achieving God's purpose for my life.

So back to the topic, let's talk about sex. I know I am single and shouldn’t even think about it or talk about it, right? Wrong! I hope to be a Public health Pharmacist and part of public health issues involve human sexuality so unfortunately for the overally prudish type  I have to talk about sex at one time or the other.

JERSEY COUTURE: LEARNING ABOUT BRANDING AND DIVERSIFICATION

After I realized that most of reality shows were scripted I have started reducing the amount and type of reality shows I watch. So when I stumbled on 'Jersey couture' today I watched it because i was drawn to it as it was a show that centered on a family that specializes in selling in prom dresses.

At first I thought that it was just the mum and daughters working in the shop, Diana and co. but I later found out it was the whole family. The dad and brother were also involved. They don’t have much to do with the clothes but running the shop. The brother works the reception desk and seems to be the customer care guy (not sure, I just watched 2 episodes). And the shop seemed to be like a community kind of shop, it seemed they have a lot of customers who had grown up with them and their staff feel like a family. In one of the episodes some of the high school students who were leaving to college also got their prom outfits and I have to say they looked gooorgggeeooouss. Made me wish I had gone to prom but as I was tiny then (I am still skinny) and didn’t have a high level of self esteem then so I doubt I would have gone. Besides we didn’t do prom in Nigeria at that time.

TELENOVELAS AND TELEMUNDO....

I have been at home for a while and though i didn't want to get addicted (okay maybe i shouldn't say addicted more like engrossed) in watching the telenovelas on telemundo i have found myself watching each episode of the various telenovelas.

I have been watching telenovelas since i was a kid. I remember the first one i watched, Can you guess it? Yep! 'The rich also cry'......that soap opera was amazing. Everybody was anxiously waiting to watch it and when Nepa would cut power supply we would go to our neighbor's house (who had a power generating set) just to watch it. Then others like 'No one but you', 'Maria de losangeles', 'Secret Sands' were also shown (and all on Nigerian television authority stations....such a long time ago).

SIGHTS FROM LAGOS: A YORUBA/LAGOS WEDDING....

Hey guys, yesterday two of my friends got married but i was only able to attend just one of the weddings. I attended the wedding of my secondary school friend, Tope. The wedding was really surreal for me because i remember how and under what circumstances the whole relationship started.

 Her relationship reminds me that everything happens for a reason and when God wants things to happen for or to you he sometimes pushes you to a different environment. She met her husband when she went to South Africa for a one year work exchange program. Funny she took the offer because of her then boyfriend who later messed up. So while still trying to cope as a single Nigerian female in SA, her father told her about the son of a friend of his who was also in SA. He and his friend made sure my friend met him. She was always whining in my ears about how she did not want to have to see hiim or talk to him and blah blah.

BE FASHIONABLE IN THE RAIN ROCKING A WELLINGTON BOOT....

Biker boots...

I don't get Nigerian weather anymore. This morning I woke up to rain falling and I am like 'in December?'. It seems everything has changed, the weather is unpredictable nowadays.

Everytime the rainy season starts and I keep getting drenched all I think of is my shoes. I have Cinderella feet and I rarely get the shoes i like so when I finally get to buy I like them lasting for so long. But the rains have a different idea.

IRRESPONSIBLE COMPANIES….

If you follow me on instagram you would know by now that I spent some hours at a Police station on Saturday…..Wait a minute! It is not what you think. My big mouth did not put me in trouble....lol The vehicle I was traveling in had an accident and hit a car who hit a tricycle so we had to report to the police and all of us had to sit down in that horrible place for hours where I saw how bad the rot of poverty and corruption has eaten into our souls as a country.

LEARNING TO UNDERSTAND THE JOURNEY OF LIFE....

The last time I wrote I told you that the results for the exams were released and I was being a chicken (I don’t know why). Anyway I got someone to check and she told me that I didn’t pass. What was my reaction? I was shocked and then I started laughing.

Let me explain my reactions before someone thinks I am going crazy. I was shocked not because I was distraught that I had failed but because I had the premonition and a dream that I failed. So hearing the words was like ‘OMG! I hope I am not psychic?’ lol…. That would be a real disaster.

HELLO DECEMBER...

Happy New Month Guys. It is a December to remember for great reasons. I can't believe December is here already. Soon we would be saying Happy new year. May this December not be the last one we see. May it be filled with dreams that get fulfilled, loads of blessings and Unexplainable Joy.

I tried looking for a December picture and most of them were of snow and christmas tree but i wanted one that reminded us about the reason for the season. That is Christ Jesus but i didn't find (maybe i didn't search long enough). However i found one that i think depicts the manger that Jesus was born. So that is cool enough.
