The past 4 weeks have been…….eventful! I’m sure my next few
posts may reveal part of my recent experiences however I’d like to first
apologise that the goddess hasn’t been as consistent as promised (I got
harassed by some friends and readers) and I sincerely, genuinely apologise.
Believe me, I don’t take for granted that there are people waiting to read what
I have to say/write.
Meanwhile, my amazing friend Belinda of Diary of a Fashion Enthusiast
nominated my blog for the Liebster Award, I was surprised and at first nervous
(because I had no idea what it was about) yet happy so THANKS babes, u
rock!!
From explanations, the Liebster Award targets new bloggers or blogs with great content yet a
not so huge following, with the aim of getting them more exposure; therefore it's an award given by bloggers to other bloggers.
The rules include:
1. Give a shout out to the person who nominated you and link
back to them.
2. Post 11 things about yourself.
3. Answer the 11 questions asked by the person who nominated
you.
4. Nominate 11 more blogs and link them in your post and
create 11 questions for them to answer.
5. Make sure you let them know they have been nominated via
your social media of choice.
*Answering
and forming these questions actually got me thinking about myself; so I’d
advice that anyone who reads this post should answer the questions or think of
random things about yourself in case someone asked you or simply for
self-discovery.
And I'd totally appreciate comments (maybe state one random thing about yourself or recommend a blog to be nominated)
1)
I like teaching
2)
I LOVE beans (in whatever form-Akara, moi moi, gbegiri,
boiled) can eat it everyday and at any time.
3)
I’m a freelance Makeup artist
4)
I’m a good dancer but I regret that I didn’t
make ‘DANCE’ a part time career from when I was younger, now I fear I’m too
heavy to dance professionally
5)
My voice is really loud
6)
I like to read
7)
I can’t whistle
8)
I really like Nigeria and I pray for her; if I
ever live in another country I’d like to still move back home
9)
I don’t like crying
10)
Out of all the fruits in the world, I can eat
only about 7 (Bananas are the worst! Yuck!)
11) One of
the things I remind myself as often as possible is 2nd Tim 1:7 “God hasn’t
given me the spirit of fear but of Power, Love and a Sound Mind (or Self
Discipline depending on the situation); this scripture gets me going!

Yes,
if it can help me fulfil all I’m supposed to and of course if I can earn a very good living from it

kill but can’t let go.

how would you spend it?
A
million dollars in Naira is about N160 million so I’d pay tithe, buy a house

gather clothes and give out to the homeless or less privileged), go shopping, whatever
remains I’ll figure it out

can't you live without?
Pencils

Which
country would you love to visit or revisit and why?

there *sigh*

expensive item in your wardrobe?
Jewellery

11. Why did you start blogging?
The rule says nominate 11 blogs but I don’t have up to 11
upcoming blogs that I follow or know; I felt ‘a bit’ bad about this though because I thought I should know more blogs.....but I’ll
heal! So I’ll nominate these 7 that I know are active and would really enjoy reading their
answers.
