LIFE | HELLO OCTOBER

September was a really outstanding month for me.  I literally spent the whole 30 days indoors. I went out just like thrice. My couch potato game is a 10. Most of the days followed the basic routine of waking up late, eating, fiddling with my phone, sometimes reading, sleeping very late and like that. Nevertheless, God was (is) still God throughout and I'm sharing my September lessons in the taking stock format.


Learning - That sometimes, seeking for the opinion/approval of people is like giving them a cutlass to cut you with.

Hoping - That I make the right choices as regards everything

Wanting - To change my blog theme. I've been eyeing some really cute ones on Etsy.

Wishing - That I actually bought one of the cute themes when I saw them and dollar exchange rate wasn't this high. Sigh, no such thing as perfect timing guys. Do what you have to do.

Praying - That Nigeria gets better.

Reading - Many things at a time with very little concentration because I basically spent the whole month on my phone surfing the net.

Wondering - Why network is this terrible in my room. Like the other night, I literally spent 30mins trying to publish this POST

Thankful - For my blogging journey thus far.

Proud - Of myself for finally making somewhat perfect pancakes for about 5 consecutive times. It used to be on and off thingy whenever I summon courage to do it but I can confidently say you'd score me a 7 and above if you eat it. And oh, I learnt lessons from my pancake failures and I'm going to share it very soon!

Excited - That I passed a certain milestone with my pageviews that I didn't even think would be attainable this year talkless of within a month when I made the decision!

Appreciating - Every single person that visits my blog and reads my post.  Thank you. Gracias. Merci. Grazie

Amazed - By the fact that I finally joined Instagram. It's a big deal for me because I never planned to. Reasons for this are enough for a blog post I'm telling you but before then, you can follow me HERE

Needing - All the motivation there is to read aggressively. So many things to read.

Trying - To consciously CHOOSE POSITIVITY

Annoyed - That my first class upon resumption is by 8am.

Saying - A very big THANKS to you for reading this post to the end and also for leaving me a comment (Well, that's in advance).


This taking stock format is really cool and I might as well use it again and also try to incorporate it into posts other than monthly recaps. I think it makes reading easier.

What do you think about it?


I'm back to school and even though I have mixed feelings about it I'm extremely happy that I just might reduce/stop MY SKINCARE MISTAKES


Any special thing you're anticipating in October?

What lessons did you learn in September?

I'd love to hear from you. Please leave me your thoughts.

Have a pleasant October. Best wishes. xxx

P. S - You can read my other monthly recap HERE

    Its going to be great in October.. I don't even know what I am expecting seriously, I just want to be happy with my job in the office and get more money to buy that car I am hoping for...loooool..

    And for the network issue, I feel same way while blogging.. It could be so annoying at times.

    Wishing every well in October.

    The network thing also happens to me. It really pisses me off. So frustrating!

    October is going to be hectic for me. In September, I learnt to just go with the flow. Life's running so fast so we have to learn to soar. Or something deep like that, you get?

    Go for the Etsy theme! I love cute blog themes. Thank God for all you learned in September. I learned is that comfort can be detrimental to success. You need to stretch and keep reaching for the best. Have an awesome new month, dear!

    P.S. I read how you mentioned me in your interview. Thanks for the honour!

      I agree with you, complacency isn't
      cool.
      Aww, you read it.

    October means school is starting in a bit too, and that's rather exciting and nerve-racking all at once
    And it means two more months and 2016 is over -- where did all the time run off to?

    Happy new month dear.
    I love the taking stock format. Big congrats on your pageviews milestone.
    September has taught me a lot of lessons, one of which is learning how to relax, basically doing things at my own pace and also spend less. I do hope October is a lot better than September.
    P.s- I saw your comment on Cassie blog, I do hope you receive your email bearing good news..

Heyy! Don't go. Share your thoughts with me, please?

This thing called Fashion

I've read more than enough articles, posts, whatever and I'm still yet to come up with the word. The one defining my personal style. Simple & Conservative keeps popping up but sounds too cliché so nayyy. I'm naturally not fashion oriented . Yes , I said it. It's not a problem, never has been ; to me anyway. When I hear about how some babes spend virtually all they have just so they update their wardrobe and how they can't control it ehn, I get really thankful for how simple that part of my life is but sometimes I just want to go out of my comfort zone and take risks. Fashion risks. Imagine writing on Fashion risks worth taking and you're just there in shell, scared of venturing out. Because I was trying to adjust my hair and the sweetheart snapping me said pauseee. I can't just keep up with the constant need to make up outfit ideas. Some days, I see people, pictures and I'm just like hey, I should try that, just go for this colour instead ...

Quick Life Update : The Abusive Relationship I Am In

I trusted him completely but he broke my heart and still is in the business of breaking it. His promise to always be with me Everywhere I Go was alas a lie. He said that only to catch my attention and make me his. He gave me mouth-watering packages that offered me less for more but it turned out to be a façade. I'm tired and frustrated. I can't carry out my normal routine with all he's been doing. I trusted him just this once and he disappointed me. I never should have promoted him from the zone I placed him in initially. I remember all the times I heard people complain about theirs and I was always relieved I wasn't in their shoes but guess where I am now? I guess that's what life does. Sit in a corner and laugh at you. Nice job. He looks so attractive on the outside but deep down, there's nothing exciting about  him. A big fat façade. I miss the things I could have been doing if I hadn't made the mistake of trusting him too much. His favourite colour is ...

For Times When You Go From 100-0 And You Can't Explain It.

This post title is quite a mouthful simply because I couldn't find something else to describe how I felt the day I wrote this. I've been in this situation more times than I can remember. It's always exhausting and annoying. I'll be gay, exuberant and then SNAP! I'm feeling down, irritated at nothing in particular and the rest of the day becomes gloomy. No, it ain't mood swing . Or is it? The most annoying thing about this predicament is when people start asking what's wrong and I can't come up with something genuine. The occurrence that prompted this post was the most 'interesting' one ever. Here's the detail. I was having an almost perfect day doing few things online that required me to write a little something about myself. I included "I'm a PhlegMel(Yes, I believe in temperaments)" after 're-looking' up the words in the dictionary to make sure they suited me. As I was to discover later that day, that was a wro...
