PIXIE UP

Emma Watson.

Hi guys,
My hair has been on my mind lately,I still have my ghana weaving on, but I've quickly grown tired of it, fellow ghana weaving sisters can understand, so the question of what next to do has been bugging me yeah.
Since Emma Watson's (Hermoine) big chop, I've been loving the pixie cut and then Anne Hathaway's, its almost like the Universe has been trying to tell me something, anyways i'm all geared up to Pixie up but i still get some uneasiness, like, i hope I don't look like a boy, do i have to have makeup on all the time now?, will i look stunning? ( wink, wink).
For someone who hardly ever does short hair and having long hair myself, this is a big step, so to ginger myself, i look at pictures of some lovely pixie cuts to boost my resolve

Anne Hathaway

So what do we think, to pixie cut or not to pixie cut, that is the question,

Have a lovely weekend.

Hi Guys,
So I did a midnight post about my GTB LFDW 2013; Day 1 ( and only) experience, where i was super excited, unfortunately the post lacked pictures, so i decided to post some of myself, photographed on the Red carpet by Bella naija and Ono bello ( yay me), as well as Runway looks from my top 3 designers of the day.
My outfit took me a while to think up, but I think it was a good look, don't you? The neck piece and bag are ST Colours (por).

LFW

Hi guys,
Today, i'm sure I had one of my 2013 highlights ,I got to go for GTB Lagos Fashion& Design week, I know for some this is a "smallie" but as for me, was super excited,still am.
My sister (love you st) got me a ticket for Day 1 on the D day, was going about my biz ness with no thought of going ( better soup na money kill am) then i got a call from her confirming my pass, to say i I was joyous is an understatement !!
After being happy and thankful !,my first panicky thought , "o God, what will I wear", mehn was  I "worried|", having never gone for fashion week and wanting to make proper use of the opportunity, I thought and thought for HOURS until I got my outfit, classy with a touch of African inspired if I do say so myself.
I went with my blogger friend, Mide Coker of Mode Juridique, who already planned on going and we had a swell time !!, I was literally too excited to stand still, although the event started almost 2 hours late it still didn't dampen my mood, I was that excited, saw some cool people but the stars of the show were definitely the DESIGNERS.
The Designers featured today were, Soboye, Kinabuti, Alter Ego, Xclamation, Wana Sambo, Ella & Gabby, Wisdom Franklyn, Kola Kudus,Sunny Rose and my personal favorite ; Christie Brown !!!
The clothes were so beautiful and inspiring,I was seriously in awe, my top 3 were, Christie Brown, Ella & Gabby and Wana Sambo( i think), too many great pieces.
The models were actually a show on their OWN both male and female, they way they walk,bounce, glide, sway,bend over backwards lol, it was all lovely,
You may have deduced from the tone of this post that I'm  still super excited, about to go to bed but just had to share with you guys, no pictures for now as my phone pics were too bleeh (hehe).

Have a lovely night, stay blessed

OPPORTUNITIES

In life, we always hear people say stuff like , "mehn, i just need a lucky break" or " i just need someone to believe in me" and even "i just want an opportunity to prove myself". We might have even found ourselves saying such things or things along this line, the funny thing is that opportunities arise right in front of us and we are unable to grab them, not because we're not looking but simply because we can't see the "fertilizer in the dung" so to speak.

For example, you're going on about needing a  serious job , and then you get a Broadcast message aka the annoying bc, detailing out particulars on a lucrative position which is pretty good, instead of jumping at it, you dismiss it and go to tweet and update your status about annoying people that send bc's, it doesn't dawn on you that this is a missed opportunity until you meet up with your girl, who's got a good job because she responded to those annoying broadcasts.

I watched a movie again recently, Evan Almighty and something Morgan Freeman (acting as God) said stuck with me, he said " when a man asks God for courage, He doesn't just give him courage but an opportunity to be courageous, when he asks for a chance to change the world and to do so will require one Act of Random Kindness (ARK)",  "God" gave him the opportunity to build an ark that saved so many people from a broken dam . I found the revelation of all this sooo DEEP!.



So guys, wherever and in whatever you're doing(or not doing) open up your minds to the possibilities for opportunities even in the bleakest of scenarios ( ASUU strike, day 100) and you'll be pleasantly surprised, if you still think they're none to be had .............

CREATE THEM !!

I bid you all best of luck in all your endeavors and hope you do seize some opportunities, please share with us in the comments,till next time;

16 Things

Dear future boyfriend/husband

I have graciously given you these guidelines "expo" to understand me and all my "awesomeness" better.

I love God, so don't ask me to compromise my faith!!

 I love fooood, this you must have noticed lol, the way to my heart is quicker through my stomach -_-

When we fight buy me pastries, forgiveness will be given to you on a platter

I have numerous moods that I don't even understand, so bear with me.

I say a lot of stuff I don't mean, dunno how you will figure that out.

I like to go out a lot

I don't do PDA*the Nigerian in me*, but I could hold your hand once in a while

I don't want to know about your previous relationships. The past is the past, let's leave it there

I don't like to talk when I'm angry, please don't think I'm shutting you out, I just need to calm down.

I give very horrible straight faces.

I don't know how I feel about surprises.

I can be clingy.

I love shoes, clothes, bags and all. Doesn't mean I'm materialistic but they are some of the good things life has to offer.

I prefer to have lots of male friends.

I talk a lot.

I love being pampered when I'm sad

 These are the things you should know, well some of them, did you really think I would tell u everything, lol. Xoxo

Hi guys, this was sent in by my friend who will remain anonymous for obvious reasons, hehee, it all started from random tweets of hers, which she collated and sent to me, can totally relate to some of the things on here, can you?  The "realness" of it all made me laugh .

Hope y'all enjoyed  this,

Green Light

So much has been said and is being said about the state of this nation Nigeria, from the vagueness and unsatisfactory behavior of Mr President, to the fact that 53 years after independence we still do not even have constant electricity.

I've been thinking a lot about the word INDEPENDENCE, which is synonymous with freedom, emancipation, liberation and so on, the first scenario that comes to mind is that of the Independent Woman:, i can't really remember the artiste that sang the song but its really mostly a scam, i'm all for women emancipation and equality but really 80 percent of females who say this, are either dependent on their parents, boyfriends, husbands, family members and even strangers, be it from fixing the pumping machine, to carrying out the empty gas cylinder, to paying for drinks, food, clothes, phone bills and even personal items and they be strutting about claiming independent woman!!. I know i'm not a part of this 80  percent as I'm dependent on my parents who pay my bills and i'm definitely open to freebies of all kinds and amounts :D .
In my mind , I view Nigeria as a young prosperous person,who got their wish for legal emancipation , shrugged off the trustees and  fell in with a bad crowd  from which to leave could result in a sort of death
There are so many questions to be answered ,  no one willing or capable, just old men grappling for power to an era where they do not belong, for money they would  die & leave behind with a trail of sadness and sorrow. The time has  definitely come for a change from Amber to Green light for Nigerian youths!! I'm not a politcal animal, so i'll stop here.
 Not much else to say but God Bless Nigeria & the whole wide  world .




 Love an pray for your country
