February 19, 2019 22 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all having a good day and had a great start of the week. I decided to embark on a water fast and don’t even know what made me do such a thing, I haven’t cheated or fainted yet so let’s hope I make it through. Anyway since I was thinking of doing my hair this week, it made me realise how my routine has changed. If you read my post here on how to have healthy natural hair then you know what it takes. Since then, my hair has gone through a lot from pregnancy to colour damage to lots of unnecessary trims. I did notice 6 simple things I stopped doing to my natural hair and I will be sharing that with you today.

IT’S BEEN A WHILE BUT I AM GLAD TO BE BACK

February 27, 2018 37 Comments

Where have I been?

Hello everybody, I hope you’ve all been fine. The last time I was here was with my ribs recipe, which in case you missed it, do check it out because they really are worth making. So where have I been? Let’s just do a mini recap without going crazy. Well we moved house after the one we were in got sold and had to vacate, I know these are the disadvantages of renting and not owning “sigh”. The worst part is that we had four weeks to find a new place and if you have moved house before, then you know it’s not that easy mostly if you bought more stuff. We had to find what’s available, be able to view them and at the same time do school runs. So that’s why I’ve been missing and yes it’s been a while but I am glad to be back.

January 21, 2017 83 Comments

So you think it’s time?

I am asking you just to make sure you know what you’re in for and how your life will change. But if you have already made up your mind, don’t let me stop you just start enjoying the incredible journey. I am not trying to sound mean in anyway but I hope you have answered all the questions to yourself before proceeding into motherhood. If haven’t, here are questions to ask yourself before having a baby.

Am I ready?

You’re probably thinking of course am ready, but I mean ready emotionally, physically and mentally for yourself and not ready just because your parents, in-laws and friends are. You need to be deciding this at your own terms and not because you have pressure from family to have a baby. Emotionally, you are going to have melt downs and lots of changes occurring and also physically are you ready for you to see your body changing, and be okay with that, If you know you have figured that part out, then you are one decision to check off.

10 LIFE LESSONS I’VE LEARNT SO FAR

December 15, 2016 33 Comments

Hey Everyone,

I do know I am still going to have lots more of lessons throughout my lifetime but these are 10 life lessons I’ve learnt so far.

Don’t be afraid to fail, you might think that there is nothing else that can go wrong but they do and all you need to do is pick yourself up and try even harder.
Never be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Pride always comes before a fall, so don’t let your pride get the best of you. If you can get help do ask.
Life is too short. Now this is still one of the lessons I am getting to understand even more. Every morning we wake up is a new day. So try new things, travel, eat something new, the same morning never repeats itself.
Stop comparing yourself to others. You will never know what someone else is going through behind the scenes, so follow your own path and stop looking back.
Try and discover yourself each and every day, don’t limit yourself to a particular thing you will be surprised at what you are capable of.
Always see the good in another’s. This one can be difficult as much as there’s that one person that ones to make you go nuts, just find the good in them and all will be fine.
Not everyone is what they seem to be. Have people you can rely on and build each other up. Friends come and go but if you get to have just one to be there for you when need be, then stick by them too.
Family is always important. Blood is thicker than water, don’t forget to be around family from time to time.
Be kind to others, it doesn’t hurt to say “Good morning”, the goodness comes back to you. As the quote says what you see in others exists in you, here are various things happy people do
Lastly, love deeply and unconditionally.

What are your life lessons so far?

Happiness is always by choice, being disappointed and feeling low just because someone has done you wrong only results in hurting you even more and nobody else. So whenever you find yourself just being downright unhappy,try to do these for a month and you will change your life for the better. These are 9 things happy people do;

1.EXPRESS GRATITUDE

They don’t forget what they already have and are always grateful for it. Having a gratitude list every day is a good idea. Don’t let the things you want to distract you from what you already have.

2.SAVOR LIFES JOYS

They always enjoy each moment and cherish the precious memories made each and every day. Stop and smell the roses.

3.STOP OVER-THINKING

They relax and go with the flow, meditate where necessary and avoid stress. Thinking too much only complicates your life and creates a problem that wasn’t even there in the first place.
