      I'm not in a very good position to give relationships advice. But, during one of my reflection times some days back, I realized by the Spirit of God, how much power of choice we have as females when it comes to whom we give our heart to, who we get to marry, who we get to give the chance of a date with us.      The question is; If we have this power, why then do we still make choices we later regret. The truth is that, some of these mistakes, or factors causing these mistakes can be avoided through several ways of which the most important is seeking the heart desire of the creator of man himself. He sees and knows what we don't, he knows the end from the beginning, and the beginning from the end.       Therefore, one of the most important things is to seek the will of God, which will guide you in choosing rightly.       In case you didn't know, your relationships can make you a more beautiful and complete woman or o...

             It all started with my desire to be beautiful at a very young age, my desire to be a model, a beauty queen. I worked daily on myself by taking very good care of my hair, skin, nails, face… making good use of all the natural stuff I could get around (Aloe Vera was one plant that I could really access).    I began to do a follow up on a lot of beautiful people and looked up to them as role models while working on being one myself.       However, as time went on, I began to realize that I hadn’t grown as tall as I ‘needed’ to be. So, gradually, I began to feel bad about how I looked and that really affected my self esteem   and I began to give up on myself, but, that didn’t change my admiration for a lot of other beautiful people around me.        There happened to be a friend of mine I really admire and respect a lot, she is a lady of great faith and during one of...

There are a lot of reasons why I follow some designers on social media amongst which are; to get updated on trends, to get inspiration and motivation as an aspiring designer, also for mentorship.  One amazing designer I follow is the C.E.O of NOUVA COUTURE, Bolaji Chizoba Ayinde. She started from sewing clothes in her hostel, to running an apparel production facility in Lagos with nine dedicated staff, CEO of Nouva Couture, Bolaji C. Ayinde, lives her life by design. I will be talking on her designs which inspire me so much.     I appreciate the DECENCY of her designs. I love decency. The designs are beautiful and very decent.  Another thing I love about her designs is her CUT. Her cut makes the dresses suit the body shape of whoever is wearing them.  Colour is a very vital aspect of fashion and style, the COLOURS accentuates the skin colour, her pick of colours is sweet. Her designs are very very stylish and that is why they look...

... She smiled as she had gotten few steps away from the gate, she took out her phones, both batteries were flat, she got a little bit disappointed but after all she could knock on the gate... She knocked and knocked endlessly, there was no response. Then,  she began to fear that the sound from the persistent knocks might get the attention of the watchmen around and that might lead to another unwanted scenario.        Tears flowed from her eyes as she hoped that God would make someone hear her. She decided to knock again but this time, for the last time, she decided that if she didn't get a response this time around, she would just sleep in one of the stalls around.  *knock, knock, knock!!!* lo, there was a response and from her uncle, thank God! She sighed.         Gosh!  She had just realized she had just two hours to the time she had to prepare to go get what she had come for, she quickly sipped the hot tea and prepared to ...

                                   Her heart raced as she clutched her bag closer to her side while looking left and right, she increased her pace. She checked her wristwatch, it was few minutes past 1a.m and she was still on the streets of Lagos. 'How come?' was a question that seemed to be irrelevant at that hour. She shivered with cold because the drizzles had gotten heavier and she still had about 30 minutes walk to her destination, her uncle's house. Her phones were off and she couldn't reach him at least to tell him to come pick her.         Different scenarios of stories she had heard about girls that had been abused and molested at night, but she knew she couldn't stop going even though she wasn't sure of what lies in wait for her, though, she was sure she wasn't alone, God must know about this late journey. Drenched in the rain, she kept moving...
