Dear Funke, Thank You!

I never thought I would ever say these words, but as they say,  Never say never.  You see,  Funke was my house help whom I got to help out with the house chores.  I had heard so many stories about how helps maltreat,  molest or even kill children,  and had made up my mind not to take any,  no matter what happened.  However,  things changed when i gave birth and the work and pressure was becoming unbearable so much that I had a high blood pressure.  Hubby and I decided to take someone who would come in and clean and go back.  It sounded like the perfect plan ; she would help clean while I  tend to and bond with my son.

OOPS, I DIDN'T GET THE MEMO!

As i seat here,  baby on my chest,  i cast my mind back to the journey to now.  Na me be this? How time flies.  I remember been told i was pregnant,  and how happy i was,  albeit scared. I remember looking forward to rocking a fierce maternity style game.  I especially remember the excitement at the thought of eating anything i wanted without being judged. Oh,  i had dreams and plans of how i was going to be pregnant and still look chic.  Boy was i wrong! 

GUM AND BERRY

Hello Lovelies, happy new year!

Anyone got any new years resolutions? We all at some point made resolutions that didn't exceed January first, or should I just come out and say some of the resolutions I made, I have broken already. Lol!

SAY MY NAME

Hello Lovelies, how time flies! Its the begining of a new week, and we are fast approaching the new year, YAY!!! This year has been a good year, filled with the sweet, sour and outright bitter, but still, a great one for me. I am happy to be alive.

STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM...

Hello Lovelies, its been a long while, infact too long sef! How have you been?

Thank you all for your mails and Facebook messages, I am truly grateful, and I feel so loved whenever I get any such message.

Where do I start from? 

OK

I had a baby, a healthy baby boy; Bryan :D

I gained a ton of weight, which I am not too happy about and currently looking for a solution to.

I am happier.

I appreciate my mother more (multiply this by a million).

I appreciate all mothers; God bless our efforts.

I appreciate all intending mothers and pregnant women; the tears, pains and backaches are truly worth it.

This is just a quick post to let you know I am back ,albeit gradually.

Another post will follow soon.

LIEBSTER BLOG AWARDS

I know almost everyone has heard about this award and almost all the bloggers I know have been given the award. +Amaka Hundeyin nominated me for this award aeons ago and I'm just posting it now, reason being that I've been lazy and to find new blogs is a really difficult task for me at the moment. So, to the task ahead, here is what the award is all about and so on.  

MAGA NO NEED PAY. OR DOES S/HE ?

When I was a lot younger, I used to dream of having a fantastic job when I grow up, reason being that I loved ( and still love) nice things. I wanted to be able to buy fancy shoes and designer bags, strutting my stuff to lunch with friends or lounging at the beach with the family in some exotic place.  However, as I grew up, I realised that life is not bread and butter, and not everyone would be able to afford the kind of life I envisioned. 

STEP BY STEP

Hello Lovelies. Week was awesome, I hope?

You know how they say the journey of a lifetime begins with a step? I have often heard people say it, but up until now, I haven't really given it a thorough thought before. I am currently on this journey into motherhood, and I can categorically state that it does truly begins with a step, and another one and another one. I take each day as it comes cos i dont want to be overwhelmed or stress myself too much.

THIEF, STOP!!!

I have given this issue several thoughts over and over again and I thought to put it into writing. I have seen and heard people say things like '' She is a husband snatcher'', '' He is a wife snatcher'' and the response I always give when I have the chance is to say '' He / She didn't snatch anybody'' . I mean people are not items that can be snatched or taken at gun point.

COLOUR SPLASH

Hello Lovelies, having a good week?

STYLE INSPIRATION : SUNDAY OUTFIT

Hello Lovelies. Here's a quick post to inspire you for tomorrow's outfit to church, or let me say, I would like wear these to church.

This sweet red dress is easy to wear, no too fitted and on trend. The mesh details at the top and bottom create a peak-a-boo effect without over doing it. More importantly, if you have a good tailor, this is a style he/she could replicate for you, and even add different twists to.

SPARKLES & MAGENTA

Hello Lovelies, hope you had a fantastic weekend? I did; attended my  friend, Bimpe's wedding. This is my first outing this year, and I had been planing it for weeks, lol!

The event was split into Friday and Saturday, and I enjoyed both days

BEEN A WHILE

Hello Lovelies, its been quite an age. Sorry I disappeared without giving prior warning, and although I say this a lot after a no-show period, I'm for real this time, and I'm back for good.

So who else missed me apart from +Amaka Hundeyin ? She missed me so much, she gave a Liebster award and even had to call my attention to it, lol! That's how far away I have been from blogs and all things related to the internet, apart from bbm, that is.

NEW FINDS, NEW LOVES

Hello Lovelies, how did the week go?

I spent most of my free time searching for new loves and possibly healthy addictions and I was lucky to find a few blogs of interest and this beautiful digital magazine; Blanck.

NEW BEGINNINGS

Hello Lovelies, happy new year to you all ( I know its coming a little late, but better late than never). How's the year so far? I pray we all record this year for great joy and unexpected promotions.

FLATS, STUDS AND THANGS

Happy midweek Lovelies, how's the week treating you? Hows the weather in your area? Harmattan is here, and its a nice break form the heat; Christmas is here!

Gone are those day when ballerina pumps and other flat shoes were without fun and attitude, these days, they come in the most interesting designs. Apart from being stylishly cool, they are the most convenient and versatile plus they have the loveliest embellishments ranging from diamante to studs to pendants and so on. You can wear flats with almost anything and still turn heads; it's all about the wearer and her carriage.

The festive season is here, so many parties to attend, wouldn't want to break an ankle. Why not consider exchanging those heels for some flats? Its safer, more convenient and equally girly.

Found a few that might give you ideas as to which ones to buy if you don't already have, or if you want to get new ones

VEIL AND HENNA

Hello Lovelies, how was your weekend? Mine was fun filled; attended my best friend's wedding.

I had been looking forward to the wedding for two main reasons being that I would get to wear a veil and do laali ( Henna tattoo). It is traditional for the  Muslim bride and her friends to have the laali done as part of the ceremony. I have never had it done before so you can imagine my excitement when the henna women came to paint us!

INTRODUCING AB WEARS

Hello Lovelies, week going alright?

I would like you to meet this cool set of tees and hoodies called AB Wears. The team behind these stylish and trendy pieces also do branding of shirts, caps and shoes to name a few. 

Kindly check on some of the designs. Enjoy...

FESTIVE FLARE

Hello Lovelies, I'm so sorry for the long silence; I can promise you it is for a good cause. When the time comes, I will reveal what I have been up to.

I hope everyone is well?

I noticed that recently I have been drawn to skirts in all colours and and styles and I find myself wearing them more often. Although I love pencil and straight skirts, my absolute fav at the moment are flared skirt; either in mini , midi or maxi.

As usual, I did some digging around and came to share my findings... Enjoy

I love this skirt cos it's maxi, but just in words. Its actually a mini, the lace gives it a peek-a-boo twist that I find very interesting
