Today is officially the last day of the daily blogging challenge and I wanted to end it with three main things that I learnt during the month of July: I can wake up early every day, I can plan my activities for a whole month, and I can do whatever I commit to EVEN when I don’t feel like it.
Read MoreIn recent days, there have been a plethora of black and white images posted by women on social media. This is a challenge where women nominate each other to post a black and white image of themselves and then caption “Challenged Accepted”, followed by the hashtag #womensupportingwomen. What most people don’t realize is that this challenge was started as a way to highlight the massive killing of women in Turkey.
Read Moreve heard a lot of reasons (excuses) about why people do not think it’s necessary to get married and the most common is that “marriage is just a piece of paper” that doesn’t change how they feel about the other party. Come to think of it, if you are going into marriage thinking it’s just a piece of people, then you most definitely should not be getting married. Some people say marriage is just for tax benefits. Others say they don’t need marriage to show that they are in a committed relationship.
Read MoreThe question I can get asked over and over again is where I purchase my outfits from. I’m sure by now, you have come to the conclusion that I’m a sucker for pretty dress. I’ve always loved them from the time when I was young and that penchant for them has never gone away. Today I’m sharing my top five store to buy glam outfits in the order of preference.
Read MoreOur culture has shunned singleness as if it is something to be ashamed of but on the contrarily, the bible talks about singleness being a gift. It gives you ample time to focus on God, and work on your shortcomings while developing and investing in yourself. Singleness gives you a chance to really get to know you and become whole, so that by the time you get into a relationship, you are not going in expecting the other person to fix all your shortcomings.
Read MoreWhen we talk about procrastination, we all focus on tasks that have not been done but there’s another form of procrastination that I’d like to focus on today, and that is when your preparation turns into procrastination.
Read MoreThe millennial generation has been called many things but perhaps the most prominent words are entitled, selfish and lazy. I’m not sure to what extent these sentiments are true, but I know plenty of millennials that are the exact opposite of these terms. One thing I can state about our generation is the value that we place on fairness and equality.
Read MoreKids are such a blessing but boy oh boy ain’t they challenging! I can honestly say, I now have a slight idea into how much God truly loves us by being a parent – the unconditional, sacrificial love. The kind of love that is faithful, patient and boundless. When you have kids, you get to experience that kind of love and then it hits you that that is the kind of love that God has for you. It’s mind-blowing!
Read More“If you’re having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn’t you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves not because you don’t want to change but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. What we fail to realize is that when we repeat the 1% errors day after day, replicating the same poor decisions, rationalizing mistakes, and so forth – this leads to toxic results. Success is a product of daily habits not once-in-a-lifetime transformation” (Atomic Habits, James Clear)
Read MoreYou all know black is classic elegant color that will never go out of style. I was thrilled to find this bodycon mini dress from Femme Luxe Finery. There’s something about the puff mesh floral sleeves that elevate this mini from simple to glam. It’s the perfect outfit for a date night (depending on where you are going), going to the club or a party like New Year’s Eve. It’s a bit on the tight side, so be sure to order a size up for more comfort.
Read MoreI have a lot of questions today - have you ever asked yourself, “How much do I really love myself?” I know, that’s a really random question that I have never asked myself either, but I think it’s worth asking. Do you love yourself enough to have love left over to give to others? Is it possible to love others while hating yourself?
Read MoreIs quarantine turning you into a little piglet? You are not the only one! I started feeling like one after a few weeks of not working out and eating all the junk that I wanted to eat simply because I was bored. Let’s be intentional about scheduling time to work out but most importantly, to eat healthy. We can do this!!
Read MoreThe question I get over and over again is – how do you manage to do everything that you do on a daily basis? I’m glad you asked. Have you ever heard the saying, “If you want anything done, give it to a busy person?” I have found that to be very true. At the end of the way, we all have 24 hours and what we choose to do with it is entirely up to us. In this post, I’m sharing my regular routine that helps me stay grounded and get things that most people would not have time for.
