My Birthday: To Parry Or Not To Parry

I don't even know if this is a real question because I think I already know the answer. So my birthday is in 12 days (January 14th. Who no know go know) and back in November, I decided that I would host a game night in my house. The thing is, I never do anything for my birthday. I don't even buy myself gifts. The last time I did something for my birthday was two years ago, and that's because Igwe planned me a surprise birthday dinner [pictures included]. So for this year, the plan was to be Read More

Goodbye 2013 … Hello 2014!

If I start this post by saying that 2013 has zoomed by so quickly, it would sound like a cliché because everyone else is probably saying the same thing (and everyone says the same thing every year), but it's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It's 2014 today, and in 13 days (January 14th), I will be one year older. Wow. Of course, I had to plugin my birthday in this post. Why shall I shy? I am so, so grateful for this year. I started doing something that has been Read More

Girl Crush: Beyoncé!

I have a huge crush on Beyoncé. Ever since I fell in love with her sometime this year, my love has continued to grow. There is so much that I love about her. I don't know her personally, of course - in case you haven't figured that out - but I have judged her to be a certain way, and whether I am right or wrong, these are the reasons why I love her. 1. She's a strong woman. 2. She's super talented and super private (we don't know many things about her that she doesn't want us to Read More

Merry Christmas, My Loves

Merry Christmas, sweeties I don't know what you're doing for Christmas, but for me, I went to an evening service with Igwe yesterday. It was our first Christmas at our new church, so we didn't really know what to expect. We. Loved. It. The choir was so on point. One of the singers, don't remember his name now, sang a solo - Mary, Did You Know. Mm. Mm. Mm. Oyibo people can sing ooo! Well, he was Black, but as a Nigerian, if you're American, you're Oyibo. I was in tears before the end of Read More

It’s Almost My Birthday And I Have A Wish List!

My birthday is almost here .... Alleluia!! I always have a birthday wish list every year, and 2014 will not be different. Oh, my birthday is on January 14th ... cause I know you must be wondering. Apart from working on making January 14th a global holiday - of course! - I'm also working on acquiring the following items. I usually have things that I don't even know if I will be able to get, like a Range Rover or a house in Lekki (even though I've never been to Lekki). This time, I'm putting Read More
