Reading : 'sans famille' one of my french literature books. It means 'without a family', it's about a young boy who had to move from one family to the other. Pretty emotional and interesting. Watching : Prison break from the very beginning. How come nobody told me about that series? It's so inte...

Happy New Month Guys! How was May?  I think it was fast for me and I achieved a little of what I wanted to do, and I won a giveaway too, yaay! I'm also hosting mine here on the blog  (click here  for details), so it was a good month overall, we thank God. Welcome to the month of June, may all your expectations be met by God's grace! So today's post is one of the very popular trends amongst bloggers, and I've wanted to 'jump on it' for a while now. It's very similar to the Currently I am  post and equally fun.  Subsequently, I'll be interchanging them, so get ready! Here goes; Taking : One step at a time and hoping that in due time, everything will work out for good. Learning : French and becoming somewhat good at it! My Teacher told me I have a good french diction but I'm not so confident when I'm speaking it, true though. I'm always shy😝 Reading : Too many books at the same time; ' Wonder ...

Hey Guys! Happy New Month and Happy Independence day to all Nigerians home and abroad! Can you believe it's the 10th month already 😲? God had been really good to us. I'm so sorry for being MIA these past few days, it's the final week of NYSC so I have been a tad bit busy,  actaully my Passing Out Parade is in a few days and I'm so excited to go home. So for all my ladies that waited for #Girlschatseries as well #Mondayinspiration, I apologise πŸ™ I'll do better. So #Nigeriaat56 ayye? I'm sure there are tons of articles that will be written about what we haven't achieved in all these years especially in the Last year since the change era. What we fail to realize sometimes is that we need to be grateful for how far we have come too instead of sitting down and brooding over how far we still need to go. During this period of my service year, I have heard and been around enough negativity about Nigeria to last me for a lifetime. People come to work an...

Ayeeee! It's August alreadyπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ is it me or did July go by really fast? Whichever way it's my birthday month, actually my birthday is in 6 days! Yes you can tell I am excited, I mean it's not everyday a girl turns twenty-two right? It is also the month of my Self Love Challenge! Yaay! (Details below) Basically this post is a recap of the lessons I learned from my experiences in July and to dish out tips to gear you up for this amazing month of August. The month of July as I said, went by sooo fast before i could even pinpoint anything that happened but, I do remember that I was very stressed as I had to Juggle between different things at the same time! My brain was literally on shut down mode at some point; nothing was entering and nothing was coming but yet i had several deadlines to meet up with. If there's anything I learned in the month of July, it is to remain calm, be patient and to keep pushing because the pain of today can  NOT be compared to the Joy...

Hey guys, Happy New month!!! You know, i actually had a different post for today but then I realized it was a new month so i had to change it but don't worry, check back here on fridayπŸ˜‰ It has an amazing past few weeks for me and I'm indeed grateful to God. The months are running by fast or is it me?πŸ˜• While receiving all my goodies in May, I also learned some valuable lessons and I'll be sharing them with you. The month of May taught me; To Hold on: Because it will be alright eventually. That's why one of my best songs is Hold on by the walls group. I was extremely weary in May and it really wasn't pretty especially towards the end of the month but as the saying going "it's always darkest before the dawn". To take chances : The only person standing in between you and yoir dreams is you. Before I applied to The Blogger point, I was very scared because this is not something I'm used to. I'm only familiar with my own little ci...
