Portable Is The New Hot

While I was still in secondary school (Hello BMJS fam!) , we had to memorize the book of Romans chapter 12 because it was like the school's official bible passage. I never actually got to know it completely, but I knew the first two verses, even at that, I never took it seriously. My point is that, this part of the bible is not new or strange to me, I've always been familiar with it. However last week, something took me to that part of the bible again, why? I cant really say, but as I began to study, I started to see that it was way deeper than we thought, no wonder they wanted us to know it by force! So for  today's post, I will be sharing 12 life  lessons from Romans 12. Stay with me... 1) Do Not Be Lazy : "Not slothful in business..." (Rom12:11a) Laziness will get you nowhere, you have no choice but to work and work hard. 2) Be Compassionate and Symphathetic: Kindness and Compassion will take you a long way. (Rom 12:15, 12:20) 3) Anything You...

So I know it's been very quiet in here, and no excuse can really justify that, this is why I am humbly coming to you guys to say I am sorry🙏 I actually got a freelance job that has been taking all my time, (you know I'm a freelance writer right? Please help your girl to broadcast) I was working on a tight schedule so I couldn't really do much on here. I hope I'm forgiven? It's been a while, how have you been? As the year is gradually coming to an end, how are those goals coming along? Great I hope. For today's #mondayinspiration post,  we will be looking at something very crucial to our success in life- personal development. Everyday we spend alive is another opportunity to work on ourselves and develop ourselves, and I'll be sharing some reasons why personal development is important. 1) It Makes You Open To Various Opportunities : Personal development takes you a step further and makes you a whole lot better. It means you are leaving your comfo...

In the past few days, my devotional has been talking about living a life of impact and a purposeful life. It went further to analyse some of those things that will hinder this development; things like fear. Fear is one thing that can conveniently destroy a person's life in a matter of seconds. I mean, yeah at some point in our lives, we all get scared of various things, death, failure, betrayal, etc. These fears will always be there, but how do you turn the situation from that point of vulnerability to a point of action? In today's post, we will be looking at some fears that we should not be distracted by. 1) Fear Of Not Succeeding : This fear is so crippling that we may even get carried away with the success of others, that we forget to focus and work on our own. We get almost obsessed with the pace of another person's success that it becomes a pressure on us. Don't let the fear of not succeeding distract you from the main goal- your success. 2) Fear of Th...

I've only started reading and learning more about personal branding myself and its importance, and because I'm nice, I decided to share with you guys. You're welcome! 😏 Oh, and you might want to stick around till the end, there's a mini giveaway happening. How was your week? Awesome I hope? Mine was very brain-taksing, but I loved it! A few days ago, my dad sent me a whatsapp broadcast message which is even what prompted this post, so not all those messages are unnecessary, but I digress. This message talked about how valuable personal branding is in our society today, and whether we like it or not, we all have our personal brands in one way or another; your social media platforms, skills, portfolio, your CV, all of these sums up your personal brand. Though it might look rather serious, personal branding is simply a process of marketing yourself and your skills to the world at large and getting paid while at it. So rather than let the world have a weird per...

Welcome to a new week guys! Thank God for the past week, now it's time to crush some more goals starting from today! How was your weekend? Mine was amazing and I'm not even joking! All I can say is this God! 🙆🙌 Now let me ask you, what affirmations did you make this morning? What positivity did you speak into this week? What things did you remind yourself of? Oh, you didn't do any of these? You need to! During the weekend, in one of our devotions, my dad raised a question that struck me like literally, he asked "why is it that some youths won't be rich?" We all answered to the best of our abilities, but that question refused to leave me alone. It was then I realized that there are certain things we need to constantly remind ourselves of everyday that will then prompt us to action. Stay with me... 1) Remind Yourself That Laziness Is Not An Option : Laziness is the attribute of a sluggard and I'm pretty sure you're not one. Don't be id...

Happy New Month Fam!  Welcome to the month of double grace, May we continue to experience grace everyday of our lives. It was real quiet here last week, but I hope you caught up with all the posts till date because we're moving forward from this week! For today's post, we're taking stock, I know you were probably expecting a #mondayinspiration post, but not to worry there are many more of those coming your way. For today, let's get personal a bit and chat a little. Shall we? Here goes... Wondering : How september went by so fast! Honestly, I can't believe we're just two months away from the end of the year. 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...

Long time no portable diaries! Don't mind me, I've been so focused on other things. Thank you so much for your love on my last blog post  , you guys are amazing! Don't worry when I can, I'll try and take some nice pictures from time to time to include in my posts. That said, being a portable person has it's pros and cons just like every other thing in life, and today's post is going to deal with some of the cons. I've been asked some of the weirdest questions as regards my height and honestly, sometimes I'm just speechless because I can't really fathom why someone would think it's absolutely normal to walk up to a person and ask them certain questions. NB: THIS ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE A SAD OR BITTER POST, SO FEEL FREE TO LAUGH TILL YOUR STOMACH HURTS😉 I'M DOING THE SAME HERE! Okay here goes! 1) DO YOU HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION ? Some years back, a friend of mine who was just getting to know me actually asked me this quest...

I was actually thinking of putting up this post next week monday because I didn't think I was strong enough to post at all throughout this week, but here we are by God's grace! I'm currently recovering from another extraction- yes guys, I had another one, and apparently this time I had what is known as ' pericoronitis '. I'd spare you the full details, but just know that the aftermath involves a swollen mouth, painful swallowing, soggy meals and all round discomfort! I'm getting better now though, how was your weekend? For a very long time now, I've been looking to read the book ' GirlBoss ' by Sophia Amoruso to no avail, and I heard it's an amazing book which only made me more desperate. So imagine my joy when one of my blogger sweethearts Laitan, tweeted that she was currently reading it. You best believe I wasted no time in asking and she sent it to me, such a darling! Now, today's post is in two folds; inspiration and a ...

It's style personality o' clock guys! You know how I get very happy when it's that time. Today's post is very exciting because, our guest is one very stylish man! He also happens to be very nice and receptive, even though I got to know him through a friend, It was a smooth and friendly exchange eventually. Okay, I want to give you all the gist about him and his style, but you'd have to find out by yourself in a bit! I hope you enjoy this interview. Here goes! A: Hello! Can you please introduce yourself? K: Hello, my name is kessiton osamudiamen Ehigiator. I'm a style/lifestyle blogger and a budding Agriculturist. I hail from Benin city in Edo state 🙂. A: Budding Agriculturist, I like! What's your personal definition of style? K: Style for me is something that encompasses your personality and makes an introduction for you even without you saying a word. A: Amen to that definiton! I totally agree. From obeservation, I've pegged your ...

Missed me? I missed you too! So this past week, my siblings and I were down with malaria, yeah it wasn't pretty but, we're totally fine now, thanks for your  concern 😏😏 I actually did miss writing and that is why great content will be coming your way this week starting with today's #mondayinspiration! You're probably wondering why we're talking about anxiety today, I mean it's never that serious right? Oh, but it is. Being anxious starts from getting overly worried about the little things like what skirts or pants you should wear to work, or how you're going to get through the week without blowing it. At some point, things get very overwhelming and they begin to take their toll on us. How then can we at least limit our anxiety? 1) Challenge Your Negative Thoughts : I saw this somewhere; " negative thoughts leads to negative emotions which then leads to negative behaviours " and I couldn't agree more. For you to get rid of that cre...

 Happy new month fambam, and Eid Mubarak to all our Muslims friends and families!! May things of celebration never cease from our lives. Thank God for the grace to be able to see yet another month, this year has some wings yo! I pray that everything we have been praying for will be delivered unto us in this month of September by God's grace🙏 That said, we are starting the month on a sweet note literally, as I bring to you a guest post from one of the best chefs I know, she's also a friend too, and she'll be sharing with us the recipe to her strawberry pancakes! 😍😍 I know it's quite different from the norm, but I'm looking to have a food related post once in a while, after all variety they say is the spice of life😉 It's a long holiday, so you better get your pen and paper and let's pay attention! Enjoy! DEE: Pancakes can be one of the simplest meals to make however if the batter is not gotten right, things can get really messy and out o...

Let me first say that this is one event I'm so glad I got to attend, like i so needed that break! The blogger point did a really amazing job yet again, in fact, I have to say that this year was much more better and fun than last year's brunch  because there were more people in attendance and the rain did not disturb us😝 So let me just jump right into it! The 2nd edition of the blogger point's brunch took place on the 27th of August 2017 at Laguna lounge and bar, central area, Abuja. Please I just have to take a minute to say that Laguna is one very beautiful place, my God!😍 it's spacious and the ambiance is just very peaceful and relaxing. It's a place to be indeed. I got to the event quite late because I got held up at church, and makeup also delayed me because my sister wanted me to look good, I think she did a good job though. The cake had finished when I got there, that's how late I was😆😆 By the time I got there, they were already...
