BODY IMAGE POSITIVITY. πŸ€—

Image
  Hi guys!! Hope you all are doing great. The month is almost over and I can't believe it. I remember first of September like it was yesterday. 😳 Today's post is something many people will easily relate to. You're probably insecure about a thing or two about your body. Or even a lot. It could be very hard moving pass that stage especially when you were bullied once because of that.  Personally, I didn't and still don't like some things about my body. But how I coped with that was accepting it. For example, my face. I was teased about my pimples when I was younger, I remember crying so much if you said anything about my face. I even stopped looking into a mirror cause it reminded of the "plague" on my face. Later on, I got to accept it and if someone said something bad about it, it never got to me. That's just how it is. You remove the power they have over your insecurities. They just end up looking stupid for what they said. It's takes time to lov

HOW TO MOVE ON FROM A FRIENDSHIP BREAKUP. πŸ’”πŸ˜’

Image
  Hi lovelies!! Hope you have been having a great time. It has been quite a "rainful" month and is also cold especially at night. Make sure you cover yourselves appropriately and not just waiting for "weather for two" πŸ˜‚.  Let's just get right in to the topic of the day. The title had given away some of it but definitely not all of it. So if you have been struggling on how to move on from a friendship breakup, keep reading πŸ˜‰. 1. Acceptance: This is definitely the first step because if you don't you will just keep hurting yourself. It wouldn't be easy of course but it just has to happen. Even if it means crying your heart out (if you're the emotional type), do so. You can also express your feelings in an artistic way, either drawing, writing or singing.  2. Check your self: If it's someone you never thought would end ties with you, it would be harder, trust me. There is a tendency the person has moved on and is happy when you clearly have not. Yo

SEPTEMBER!! COUNTDOWN TO DECEMBER. ✨

Image
  Hi guys!!! Welcome to the month of September (although I'm 8 days late but better late than never right?)and I hope you have been having an amazing week. πŸ˜€  I am so excited about the new month because you know, it's the beginning of ember month and that means Christmas is getting closer. If you didn't know, Christmas is my favorite holiday and I just love the carols. I love the whole decorations and just the season of love. Also, I get to see my cousins and just spend them with them. I'm Igbo and it's kind of like a tradition to go to the village and just know where you come from.  Okay enough of the Christmas rant, this blog post is going to be really short because I just didn't want to talk much (well, technically write). I just wanted you guys to know I'm still breathing O2(you know as I science student, I gat to flex it a little 😌) thanks be to God for that. I hope you guys have an amazing month ahead and just keep living life as it comes. Also my si

WHY I STARTED MY BLOG. ✍️

Hi guys!! Welcome back to my blog. I haven't been posting contents here and this blog is kind of having cobwebs. Well I'm here to curb it (peep my dry punπŸ˜‚). I really do hope you all have been great because I have been. Well not really but that's another story for another. This is the last day of August and tomorrow is the beginning of the ember month, I pray the new month brings new tidings and blessings into our lives. ✨ So before I get into what's for today, I will like to know if you would like to read more story times. I realized my life had been quite interesting and I feel I could share them with you also. Also for me to read them here when I grow old.  Today I will be telling you my reason for starting this blog. Right from when I was little I was great at imagining things and just making up scenerios in my head. I still do especially if I'm having difficulty in sleeping. Also I see myself as a deep thinker. I remember in secondary I would just stare out my

READY OR NOT?? πŸ˜“

Hi, welcome!! I just remembered a conversation I had with someone sometime in school and I thought it's worth sharing. There is this young lady I met,I can't really remember what we were saying prior that but it kind of lead to marriage talk. I asked her what she would like to do after school and she said,"marriage is the next thing". I was still trying to process what she meant by that really and she asked me the same question. I told her I would love to do my masters, take some professional exams and ultimately do something productive with my life and career. She just looked at me strangely like what I said was impossible. She said that is too much for a woman and that would scare off a man. I was just left in awe that someone in this age and time thought like that. I gradually kept my distance from her because I wouldn't want someone with that kind of ridiculous mindset around me. I wouldn't want to attribute her reason for such a mindset to her geographi

NEW MONTH SHENANIGANS. 😌

Hi!! So excited to be writing here again. I know I promised to post some of the stories I have written but I'm really battling procrastination right now. Help me!! πŸ˜₯ Happy new month!!  This is August and I'm like, "were we not just saying, Happy new year some time ago". The year is super fast and I'm sure it's because we don't have much doing (speaking for myself). If i had school and all going on right now, I will probably not be writing here. But it's a very terrible thing happening around the world. I really hope we have been keeping safe because I do need all of you at the end of this dark tunnel πŸ˜€. Also, I never really fancied this month. To me, it was a "boring" month. But then, someone special is born in this month so now it's kind of special to me . So this is a birthday shout out. πŸ€— To those born this month, I pray God blesses your new age.  Just recently a big reality show started airing and as usual it got terrible backlash.

WHO MISSED ME? πŸ˜…

Hello my beautiful readers. I have been so lazy this couple of weeks and I just keep procrastinating about writing a post. The funny part is that I have lots of contents I have written just for me to edit and publish. But now I'm back!! I have really not been doing much while away. I have really just lost the vibe for school, like I'm done. I still have thoughts of school reopening and how I will cope if school just miraculously opens but with the way it's going, it's "peace till next year ✌️". I have being writing some short stories and I would love to share them with you soonest.  I have been planning my life. I'm sure you're wondering how I am doing that in the middle of a pandemic. But I have realised life will still go on whether we like it or not. This phase will pass so you have to be ready for it. Also I'm a habitual thinker, I am always thinking of something, like literally. The woman I would become, my success, primarily my future. Some t

THOUGHTS πŸ’­

At a certain point in our lives,we just want to be happy. Happy with ourselves, happy with our relationship with God, happy with our family, happy with friends, happy with everything around you. It's at that point we get temptations, for me, I guess. You question yourself so often that you doubt your own self,your abilities and weaknesses. You wonder if God is really with you or he's letting things to fall in place for our good. Family becomes estranged or something just doesn't suit well with everyone. You feel your friends are distant and don't care. In fact, you feel alone fighting with your self and everyone. But, the idea was to be happy. At the end of the day, you just have to relax and stop over thinking things. Things will surely fall in place for you. ❤️ Do things to take your mind away from such negativities and just do you. Also don't forget they may also be going through worse so don't be quick to label them, "mean". So be patient and l

SIMPLE WAY OF MAKING A PANCAKE WRAP!! 🀀🌯

Image
If you're pancake lover like me, this post is for you. If you also what to try something different, this is for you. I will just give you all a background story, although some may see it as unnecessary "okoto" but I will still do so, you know why? This is my blog!! πŸ˜€ I was going through Twitter and I stumbled on a Nigerian chef's page and I saw different types of mouth watering dishes. I was just bookmarking and saving the pictures for future purposes. Then I saw a pancake wrap and it looked very appetising and of course because I love pancakes, I checked the ingredients. I realised I didn't have all the ingredients readily available but I still saved the picture. Fast forward to this morning, I am like the unofficial breakfast cook in my house because I wake up before my other siblings. I just decided to make the usual pancakes that I usually do. I was sieving the flour and my parents were having a discussion and my dad said something,"necessity is the m

BREATHE OF FRESH AIR 🌬️

 Hi there πŸ˜€, hope you all having a great day. I remembered I didn't wish you all a happy new month. So here it is, HAPPY NEW MONTH πŸ˜‡!!! I am not so used to posting about that and all but now I have to because I'm interacting with you, my readers (I'm thinking of a name to call you all πŸ€”). I'm actually grateful for life because with all the the going on right now, one can loose their mind. This past weeks has just been super nerve racking. I was actually overwhelmed with all the things that has been going on in the world and also in my personal life. Sometimes I would just cry myself to sleep because of built up pain and anger. It kind of helps me in a way, I feel lighter when I cry. It's like I'm crying away the bad energy(lol, if that's a thing). I realized the stuffs I read on social media especially on Twitter triggers a lot of emotions in me so I just stopped checking such things. I also listened to some slow calming songs(I recommend gospel son

TALES OF BEING FEMALE. 😐

Image
I'm just really pissed by a lot of things. I have read so many cases of rape on the internet so much that it's just really irritating. The worse part is that some people are trying to justify the act. Right now being a female is a huge struggle. You don't blame people that say they just want male kids. They know the way life is difficult for females. In this society, females are expected to live within some constraints. Telling females to do things in the right 'way" so as to be pleasing to the society. How about we teach the male counterparts the same things. "Don't be too successful, no one would marry someone that is more successful than they are" "Don't be too ambitious, you won't have time to be a wife and mother" "Don't dress in a suggestive manner, they will rape you" So many "DON'Ts" that I can't even remember right now. It's like we are meant to please everyone else without thinkin

LIVES MATTER!! πŸ—£️

Hi, welcome to my blog!! It's no news what had been going on. There have been videos about killings and massacres in the northern part of Nigeria. People are fleeing their homes for safety. Some are injured, kidnapped, watched their houses burnt and some even died. It is a very disheartening thing to watch. A 16 year old girl was shoot by a police officer. The girl was just standing at a popular junction which and got shoot because someone's carelessness. There have been videos of how a black man died after being held down by a police officer. A full grown man on his neck. It was a really gory sight because we could hear how he was complaining of his inability to breath. The annoying part was that other police officers were there and just watched as he inflicted pain on another human being. It's so heart breaking to see such terrible things happen even with this pandemic on our hands. It shows the amount of hate we have for one another, which is awful. Humanity is just

DREAM TALKS😡

Hi welcome to my blog!! If you haven't followed and subscribed, please do so. πŸ€— I have been having these dreams and I want to know if it's common or I'm alone on this. -In my dream when the bad person is chasing me, I automatically become as slow as a snail or I just don't move at all but the bad guy never catches me. 😌 - When the bad person wants to fight me, I become the best martial combat player in fact Bruce Lee is a learner with my fighting skills. 😏 - I'm in an examination hall, I don't know what to write or I feel I have enough time to write but all of a sudden the examiner says, "pens up" and that's when my brains starts giving me answers, gbas gbos.πŸ™„ -When I dream, it makes so much sense but when I wake up and start thinking about it, it sounds so dumb. It's so disjointed that I can't even tell anyone about it without them asking if I'm okay. πŸ˜’ - When I fall in my dream,I wake with a terrible headache. 😰 If you had sim

FRIENDSHIP πŸ˜€

Image
Hi people!! Welcome to my blog and if you're new here, thank you for tapping on that link πŸ€—. Hope we all staying safe. This lockdown has given me time to really reflect on life. One of them is my friendship with people. Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between two or more people. Right from when we were little, anyone that plays or shares their stuffs with us was our friends (lol, I guess everyone can relate). We would be so happy and tell our parents about our new "friend". Then we were little and of course couldn't differentiate between right or wrong. But as teenagers or adults, we should really be selective about our friends. Some friendships could make or mar your future. The truth is that, not everyone can be your FRIEND. I believe saying "this is my friend" is almost as deep as saying "I love you". I actually realised I just knew some people and that didn't mean they were my FRIENDS. This is something that is als

STORY TIME: I WAS SUSPENDED πŸ˜₯

Image
Hello there, welcome to my blog!! Today, I will be telling you all a story on how I got suspended from boarding house. Unbelievable right? Anytime I tell someone, they look surprised because I don't look troublesome. I will just tell you all about it and the lessons I learnt. I will apologise because I know it will be quite lengthy. It was Christmas holiday, you know, time for chopping chicken and keeping up with family. As a typical Igbo Christmas, it was spent in the village. I was doing just that, until I got a message or a call from my dorm mate then that my name was on the "deboarding" list. You know that moment where every thing you have done flashed before your mind but you couldn't see the bad thing. That was how it was for me. She just shocked me by saying, "for flogging junior students". Me ke? I wanted to pee on my self, what was going on in my mind was how I will tell my parents. It was some days to us going back to Lagos at least let me e

HYGIENE FOR FEMALES πŸ‘­.

Hi welcome back to my blog. If it's your first time here, welcome and I hope you will like the content here. Also don't forget to follow my blog so as to get post notifications. So today, I would be talking about some of the things we have not been doing or doing right as females. The female body is like an egg that should be treated with care and love. 1. Use of toilet paper: I have noticed many girls don't use toilet paper after urinating. When you don't, the little droplets drop on your pant which can give out a foul odour over a period of time. Also some people don't use the toilet paper appropriately, the correct way is from front to back. A lot do it from back to front, this can bring germs from the back into the vagina. 2. Underwear: Many girls wear their underwear to sleep. It's funny when I see some girls wear their bra to sleep which I wonder how they feel comfortable with it. This can make the under breast to be too sweaty and give an offensiv

IS FEMINISM, MISANDRY?

Image
Hi welcome to my blog once again!! Today's topic is a very controversial one, many don't even like hearing about but it's now part of our everyday life. I have seen so many online"feminist" who hide under the facade of FEMINISM to display misandry. It is also terrible that majority of them don't even understand the meaning of Feminism, they just pick up someone's ideology and just carry it on their head more than the person. Tragic right? This acclaimed "feminists" come online, show their hate for men and praise their fellow women but behind closed doors, they do unimaginable things to these same women. There is also an unhealthy competition between women and men, which is not meant to be so. The  only competition you should have is your self. If the energy they exert on pulling men down is put into self development/discovery, they will not have the time to have unnecessary hate towards men talk less of expressing it.  Feminism has a proble

SLEEP PARALYSIS πŸ‘»

Welcome to my blog!! πŸ€— Some years back I usually had difficulty moving when I wake up and I would be so scared. It was a very terrifying experience but I later realised it is very common. I felt the presence of someone and had difficulty breathing. One time, I kept trying to call out to someone but it was like my throat was tied. I started saying,"blood of Jesus" in my mind and after a while, I was able to move. Somehow, it felt like it was a dream but it isn't. Sleep paralysis is the temporary inability to move or speak while falling asleep or waking up. As you fall asleep your body relaxes but your mind is awake enough to realise it doesn't have control over your ability to move and speak. It also occurs when waking up if your mind regains consciousness before sleep cycle is complete. When sleeping, the body is relaxed and the muscles are turned off so we can't physically act out vivid dreams. It causes you to hyperventilate or hallucinate but it lasts for so

ARE YOU A GOOD CONVERSATIONALIST??😏

Hi,thank you for tapping on the link and I look forward to your comments at the comment section. πŸ˜„ A conversationalist is a person who is good in engaging or holding conversations. I would give you some tips to be a better conversationalist online πŸ˜‰. 1. Approach: When you are texting someone for the first time, be polite and simple. If it's someone you already know,ask how they are doing or how their day went. 2. Talk about trending issues: This will be easy in this social media age. The other person would have heard about it and will definitely have something to say on it. 3. Curtail unnecessary details: You should know what to disclose,don't be known as a loose talker before you go and "jamb talk". 4. Accept contradictions: We all have our different opinions about things,you shouldn't impose yours on the other person,the person can loose interest in the the conversation. You can give reasons why you think this is so, not to argue, it's called a conv

ONLINE CLASSES??πŸ€”

Hi, welcome to my blog!! It's no news that we are on lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We were advised to go to our respective homes and this is the fifth week. Prior to that, the academic staff union of universities (ASUU) embarked on a two week warning strike, that's almost a month of no academic activities. The number of Covid-19 cases are rising each day, therefore no one can predict when it will be over. With that in mind,the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu has asked tertiary institutions to start online classes. This is a good initiative which other schools in developed countries are doing but can that be possible in Nigeria? On the part of the students, some don't have smart phones or laptops which is very essential for this. Those that have the device may be staying in areas where they hardly have power supply. In the case where a student has the necessary device with stable light, for an online class, you will need data subscription which is quite

BRAINSTORMING IS NOT FOR THE WEAK!πŸ˜“

Hi, welcome back to my blog, hope you are staying safe! This will be my second post on my blog πŸ’ƒ. Like they say, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step and I'm glad I took that bold step. I said in my last post that I have always wanted to do this although I haven't written a plan or topics I would write about. I thought when I start, the inspiration will just come but my brothers and sisters, I want to let you all know, it has not been easy at all 😒. I have to bear in mind what my readers would likely engage in most and my objectives for my blog.  I thank God it didn't end in tears 😌, I have been able to write down some topics I will write about but I will appreciate your candid opinion in order to be comprehensive and interesting. Having said that, I would appreciate if you use the comment section.   By the way,my mom helped me edit my last post. It was my first post and if you agree with me, she did a great job. Thank you mum. Thank you all for y
