I know, I know. It’s been ages, and I have missed you too. Like crazy! Pele, sorry, ema bi nu, ndo……..I am ashamed of myself. What kind of blogger am I sef? Anyways, I’ve missed blogging and I’m glad to be back. I pray I don’t go AWOL again J . Hmmm, I have plenty to share with you guys o. Plenty things I want to talk about. So, I am planning a wedding. Yep, I am getting married. Wedding planning nor be joke o. That aside, the first thing I want to talk about is Asoebi. Some people would tell you your wedding planning is not complete without Asoebi. Well, I think Asoebi is nice. It adds colour to an occasion. However, I did not intend to have it for my wedding o, but friends and family managed to convince me otherwise. Now I have gone and bought fabric for a select few. The others would have to go with the colour code. Why did I not consider it initially? It is stressful. You have to go shop for fabric, look for people to buy, ‘drag’ money …...I don’t have that kind of energy b...

I think people should get off their high moral grounds. I think I should get off mine. It's easy to be angry at someone for doing something you do without thinking twice. The more I see of humans, the more hypocritical I find us to be. It's really easy to point the accusing finger at others. And you know what they say, four fingers point back at you. I have learned not to expect so much from people. I've had all kinds of people let me down. Parents, friends, siblings etc. So I learned that lesson. I also do not take myself too seriously. So I rarely get mad at or hurt by people. They are human beings afterall. Sometimes I think of human beings as the basest of all animals. Animals do some terrible things like...eat their young, but it's because they don't know better. Humans on the other hand? Even the Bible said the heart of man is desperately wicked. I guess what I'm trying to say is I do not take life and all it's trappings seriously. It's what l...

Solitude This is the place I live   It's peaceful here The only worries are those I let in No phony friends can find me here Life's disappointments can't reach me here   Here, I have witty conversations with my mind My mind........she's funny She's naughty too And when she's not in the mood to chat I seek other companions My companions........they are not always human You see, company is the place I visit Solitude is where I live And I love it here                                               

To me, the most important make up products are eye brow pencils. Don't know if I can do without them, considering my brows are almost non-existent. At a time in my life, I could not leave my house without using eye brow pencils. It did not matter if it was 5:30 am or if I was going to work out - as I did in my university days. I was usually self-conscious of my naked eyebrows. Not without reason. I do look a little funny when I don't use eyebrow pencil. I look eyebrow-less. But I have o. They are just very light and scanty. In fact, even if I forgot to use my friend( room-mate then) would remind me. So you can call me an 'eye brow pencil addict', hehehe. You can now understand how interested I am in drawing/shading on the perfect eyebrows, and also understand my fascination with the recent craze to first carve out/trace  the brows before filling. But you see, despite all my trials I have not quite mastered the art. Maybe I don't have the right tools, lik...

I love weddings. I really do. But after being Maid of honor at my friend's wedding in 2012, I said I was done being in bridal trains. Alas, I have been in two others this year. Oh, I love being a part of the big day of friends and then a few strangers( How people can ask someone they barely know to be in their bridal train is beyond me). Oh well. Me wey gree nko? I just find it hard to turn people down. I have to learn. So my title says...you know what it says. I have worn six bride's maid dresses. Reminds me(not) of the movie, 21 dresses. If I add my flower girl dress, that's seven. However, I want to wear one more dress and not one more bridal dress. I want to wear the one dress. My wedding dress. So here's a reminder to Mr "very near future husband". Hey Mister, haf you heard? It's been fun wearing the seven dresses but I do not want to wear bride's maid dresses any more. I want to wear the one now. I guess what I'm saying is, hurry ...
