Money Matters

 Hey Fam! How are you doing, Good? Me too. Well, my health hasn't been the best (had a covid scare) but I am certainly doing okay. Now that that's out of the way, let's get into it. I have recently caught myself so many times asking money questions and I realized it's actually an age thing because my friends are asking the same questions as well. I am 23yrs old and at this age bracket we are most certainly interacting with money we've earned ourselves, we are opening bank accounts everywhere, we want to start saving, we are looking into employment, we are generally interested in anything money! Growing up, I have always known how to save my money. I'll probably use that money on something meaningless but I'll save it up anyways(I have a fear of being broke). Now that I am older, I definitely want to be more responsible with my money and I am looking into investment. I may not be earning much at the moment but everyone older than my age group keeps saying the

Diversifying Territories

Hey loves, A while back I did my very first professional photoshoot with  home_254 and it was amazing. I was very nervous about it because I have always believed that I don't know how to pose and that I am weird in front of a camera. I guess it was all just in my head. This shoot taught me to go beyond my limits and do whatever I desire to do. I hope this inspires you to break forth and surpass those limits that hold you back. Diversify your territories.

My First Time.

Hey dear, Experience is the best teacher, right? Honestly, this was a very memorable moment for me because even I wasn't sure I would pull this off. Styling is not just about putting together one piece of clothing with another. what you wear and how you wear it describes who you are and surprisingly dictates your mood as well. Being able to put together different pieces allows me to create different personalities and versions of a person. I really like that. I like to express myself, what I think and how I feel,  and styling does exactly that for me. These two beautiful souls out did it. Enjoy their beauty.

Get It Together - 2021

Image
 Heeeeeeeyy!!! I know guys, I know. It's been what, a little over 4 months? But then we  agreed  on the fact that life happens, right?😂 I'm really excited to see you here. First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Now that that's out of the way, tell me, how are you feeling? What do you think about 2021? Personally, am hopeful. We just might have a really amazing year. I was going to come here and tell you a whole bunch of stuff about how you can plan your year, get your goals did and whatnot, but guys, it's 2021. We survived through a really really tough year.  It's honestly difficult to make any goals for this year. I keep asking myself if it's important or worth it. But then, If we don't dream, why should we live? There is beauty in dreaming, it keeps you hoping to achieve and giving you a purpose to live for. I'd like to challenge you to dream big with me. Be a little hopeful that we survived 2020 for a reason and that 2021 is going to be a great year for us.

Let Me Explain

Hi, Let me start by apologizing for raising your hopes and not keeping my word. I promised to put up part 2 of  my last blog post  and it's still not up. I'll explain myself but before I do, how have you been? It's been a month and a few weeks and I have really missed this space. I was hoping to be back sooner but things keep getting in the way. Thank you so much for everyone who spared a minute to check up on me. So basically, life happened. It's as simple as that. I found myself in a compromising situation and I simply didn't find time to sit and write. I was in a new space where I needed settling in and one thing had to suffer, my blog, well...you guys had to suffer. I am here taking this leap of faith, trusting that things will be a bit different this month. I do not intend to put any pressure on myself but I promise to do my best and give my all. Whatever it is you may be going through, do not beat yourself up. Especially if there is nothing you can do about it

Get it Together - 2020

Yeeeeeiiiii!!!!!! We are a whole month in and four blog posts up. I cannot thank you enough for being part of this journey. Your support is amazing.  Let's keep reminding our friends to read and join this family by subscribing and following. So, July is here with us and this means a start to the next half of the year. How are you feeling about it? A lot has really gone sideways for most people, if not all, in the last couple of months.  Some have lost their jobs, others on unpaid leave, schools have been closed, businesses have collapsed, churches have been closed down, curfews all over and there is no money. Well, everything is just in chaos.  Your mindset can change your life. This can really do a number on your mental health. Please check up on your friends constantly and try to share as much positivity as you can. It can go a long way. You never really know what people are going through because they won't necessarily parade their difficulties and bad moments. If you can, pl

Tomorrow, Maybe Later.

Hello, always a pleasure seeing you here. In the  previous post  one thing stood out for me, procrastination, most of you mentioned it a lot and I decided to share some of my thoughts because we are all victims. Procrastination is avoiding to do a task that needs to be accomplished. It can either be delayed, postponed or even replaced. Listen, we never say we won't do something, we just say we'll do it tomorrow then we take forever before we do. This is how we end up in panic because the due date is here but the work isn't done. Tomorrow is not promised. Take me for example, in my  first post  I talked about how I planned to start blogging in 2018 but procrastination kicked in. Now let's take you as an example, have you filed your tax returns? 😂😂😂you're probably waiting for the last day. Well, most of you are. What causes procrastination? What can I do about it? 1.Self Doubt. This one is not common to everyone but most of us are guilty of it. How many things have
