Dear (inserts his/her name), It's been ages since we last interacted. I hope you are doing fine, staying safe, resting, being productive, and whatnot. Our last encounter was about two months ago and then school decided to take me away. I'm really sorry that I was gone for so long, I hope you forgive me. I have a very important question to ask you. Before I ask, I would love to spill some tea about my time away. Schooling online in Nigeria is a total disaster (Okay it's not a total disaster don't mind me)🥴. I won't even sugar coat it. We don't have the proper resources in this country to carry out E-learning. Is it Airtel and MTN you want to rely on? Don't even get me started on the power supply. Once you feel you've arrived PHCN (Power Holding Company Of Nigeria) will show you that you haven't. At first, I thought, oh yeah it will be as easy as taking an online class because I'm very sure some of us usually ta...

Heyyyyyyy guysssssss!!!! I'm sure you're wondering why the excitement ??? Well, it's a new month today and I love this month so much. Besides the fact that it's my birth month, it's also a month that shows how time flies. Half of the year has gone by and alongside the Coronavirus, a lot has happened to every one of us this year. The good, the bad, and the damn right ugly. But guess what?  Like Elton John would say "I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah" We've come this far!!! Let's be grateful to God for that. Tomorrow happens to be my birthday and this young blogger is finally going to be legal. I can't wait *inserts dancing emoji*. The past 17+ years *wink wink* have been so amazing and filled with so many life-changing moments. Along the line, I picked up a few key lessons that have guided me and are still guiding me on this amazing journey called life. So here are 18 things I have learned in 18 years. 1. NOT EVERYONE WOULD LIK...

Hello beautiful people, it's another Natural Hair 101 post today and I'm going to be giving you the tea on why your natural hair isn't growing, isn't growing the way you want it to or it feels like you're losing hair. About a year back I remember my hair looked like it had decided to take a pause and it just wasn't growing or so it seemed. Frankly, I wasn't bothered by this and just learned to maintain the hair the way it was. Fast forward to 2020 and I've started caring more about my hair and started to embrace her amazing curls. My hair began to shine, have this amazing glow, and then it got me thinking what exactly was I doing wrong? Why couldn't I see any growth before now? What changed exactly? What made me start caring more?  I had stopped some terrible hair care habits I picked up and she started showing her growth. Here are seven funny but legitimate reasons your natural hair isn't growing. 1. BAD DIET AND NO EXERCISE In as mu...

If you are reading this post today it means you're alive and God has kept you up to this point. Can we please close our eyes and say a short prayer of gratitude to him . It hasn't been an easy three months, twenty-six days, and counting. Some of us have lost friends, family members, neighbors, and even acquaintances. This period has taken a toll on our economy, our businesses, our schools, our families, and the world at large. At this point, we have to come to terms with the reality that this might be our new normal. So let me ask you the question I've been dying to ask. On a scale of one to ten, How healthy are you? The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health with a phrase that modern authorities still apply.  Health is a state of complete physical, MENTAL, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. So tell me do you still think you're a 10? The circumstances that we are faced with these days lead us to deal...

The way they talk, the way they walk, the way they exhibit this amazing aura of high esteem when they step into a room. Who are they? Confident people  So how do you define self-confidence? In the simplest terms, It is a belief in oneself, the conviction that one has the ability to meet life's challenges and to succeed—and the willingness to act accordingly. Some people just have it,  others grow into it. How do they grow into it? What exactly is it that they do differently? Let's get into some habits of confident people. 1) THEY DON'T AVOID NEW CHALLENGES Have you ever wanted to try something new but fear held you back?  You've killed your dreams out of fear. Confident people acknowledge that fear is and would always be a natural part of the human experience. So they aren't scared to do difficult things or take up new challenges when the need arises. I've never met a confident person who runs away when the going gets tough, or when things seem scary...
