I have decided to be positive! why? I don't have a choice, and I have looked at people and life around me,and hey,there is still hope.As the starts are numerous, so have I decided to extend my vision, I will look ahead and speak only good things into my life.
I have become more adventurous with regards to fashion and I am enjoying it,no need to say' i don't have anything to wear' while standing in front of a wardrobe full of clothes.
My daughter fell in the tub a few weeks back, quite serious, but I thank GOD she is a lot better and the stitches are almost off.
In other random news, watched Moments with Mo last night on superwomen and it was quite interesting especially the views of the older couple.Its not easy been a mum and having to multitask the way we do,there is some inner strenght that we all have and are never even aware of.
I have decided to stick to been my honest down to earth self and just go with the flow. I haven't worked for almost 2 months, and I am bored.I like the fact that I can be done with all my activities, beat the traffic and be home before the kids, imagine if my babe fell in the bath when there was no-one at home.Thank GOD for his mercies.
Will soon start posting pictures of fun and interesting things which will include me,lol! Hunting for the perfect camera. Internet speed has been so frustrating that using my lappy is not fun anymore!
I am itching to start making magic with this blog, so watch this space!

So random!
Wow, you really have to be disciplined to be a blogger, or you could go weeks without doing it.Have different thoughts going through my mind. I have been told that I overanalyze situations, which i know is often true. I just can't help it.It could become a problem though,if you don't know when to draw the line.I have asked GOD to help me because I am getting confused concerning a lot of things that christians do, and I need answers and fast! I am hoping i will find them soon.I definitely do not want any man to make me derail in my walk towards living the kingdom life.When I get the answers, i will share them.
Fashion wise, trying to be more adventurous with my wardrobe in terms of style and colours, I need dresses,jeans and belts in like tons in my wardrobe,lol.I would so rule the runway!

Life!
What did I do on Saturday? My son had an independence day programme in school, so we went for that.Got home at like 5p.m.Church on Sunday was good, volunteering in the I.T Department for children's church.Killing 2 birds with one stone, enjoyed myself and not in any female group to do it.(eyes rolling).
Decided to table the conversation I had with my friend on Friday with the powers that be! Didn't enjoy doing it, but I just don't like been in an imperfect setting, and I see a storm brewing in the near future,if some issues are not nipped in the bud right now.I have peace, don't know if I did the right thing, might get into trouble for doing me,but somethings just have to be said.
Does telling the truth always set you free?
Hmm, on Monday, came across this fabulous blog for women with curves , and I am so hooked right now.http://girlwithcurves.tumblr.com/archive. Tanesha, the blogger has mad dressing skills, will definitely try and get the camera she uses for the amazing shots her husband takes, a Nikon D7000, don't like the price, but I have been itching to get a camera to start taking some serious shots, so I will pray for a miracle and hope it's my present from Santa!
I did not know that jeggings could look so hot on a chick with curves, I am going to appreciate my wardrobe better now, because I love fashion and tanesha has inspired me to be more adventurous.
I am so upset with my hubby, he uses the excuse that he is not romantic to be dry, and claims that there is nothing wrong with me making suggestions on ways we can have fun. Ladies , do you have a problem with doing it all the time? I have been married for 12 years and i am still waiting for that moment, where i am so pleasantly surprised,that i burst into tears and speechless for like 2 hours.I love my husband, but a girl has gotta want more from her man.
When i got married, at 22.I was simple minded and very innocent and didnt want too much from life.But I am 34 now, my fashion sense has evolved sooo much, am older,wiser, seen and experienced a lot more than I ever thought i would,so I guess been simple is no longer enough, especially when you find out that been nice does not mean people will treat you the same way and that life sucks at times!
One must be grateful though, for good health and just for been alive.

Things I am loving right now!
After the drama with 'The friend' i have decided to move! Haven't written a fashion piece, so here goes. What are the things I am loving right now.
1. Dresses:This is the season of the dress, and there is such a selection of flattering fits and on-trend styles to suit everyone.I am pear shaped, narrow up and my hips don't lie,lol. Its' still the 50's style for me,trying to upload some pictures, not doing so good and well its' a bit late and I should be in bed. I love wrap dresses and shift dresses as well. The colour block styles I love as well.Don't seem to have a colourblock dress yet,wonder why.
2. Books: Give me a good book and I will ignore even my kids, thank goodness they can cook, they are 12 and 8! Start early ladies, so the little uns can bring you breakfast in bed, lol.
3.Bags:Was black or brown coloured bag gurl, until my friend Kemi introduced me to the world of colours and am I now addicted!
4. Well polished nails: I have recently started going to this new spa that opened up in VGC and the nail technician is good, wonder why I haven't asked her name,its Janet.I can be cheap, because I mean, who doesn't like a good deal,so alas they are a bit more expensive that my salon, but it is time I started to pamper myself more,I cannot stand women that don't look good and then blame it on the kids, please get a life or a style consultant or even the Internet,ooh the magic of the Internet,its' awesome! My salon i will still go to for hair, but hey I have switched when it comes to my nails. I am quite fanatic, when it comes to customer loyalty.,but you've gotta love yourself when you are a wife and mother.
5. Colours: Nudes are still in, mustard is a must but on top!Colours like teal, ivory, orange and jade, fabulous on dresses, but you must glam it up with the right accessories.
6. My Kids:wasn't planning to include them or they would be at the top of this list, but hey I am typing and watching them sleep, my fashionista daughter who I don't know how she can walk in my 5 inch heels. Secretly looking forward to when we can go shopping together.I actually get my son to approve my get up before I leave the house and he is actually very good.Glad they have my eye for fashion
7. My Mum: I love my mum, couldn't stand her when i was growing up, but I am the first born and so I didn't understand that I had to be treated differently, as the leader for my siblings to follow. Well, here I am in my 30's and 2 kids, and what can I say, motherhood ain't easy, especially when you know that you must do your best in order to leave a legacy that will endure.Yes! I now understand my Mum which has made our relationship better, i can have gist and actually call her.
8. My Husband:He is my best friend.Look at the definition of friendship and add all the appendages that go with it.
Why am I loving all these things, because well I am female and I just know what I love.
P.S- Decided to have my nails done at my regular salon, in the space of 1 week,i have had to clean off my nail polish twice,whats with not doing nails properly,do they mix the polish or what! Now a loyal follower of Janet.

I should learn to mind my business!
What's up with me today!
I am so angry with a 'friend' right now.I keep trying to search myself to be sure that I am justified,because according to the women's fellowship I attend, when you feel you know too much, that is pride!In trying to make her see sense / correct/talk to her,I overanalysed to make sure I was not proud. We all know GOD cannot stand that.I have a long history with this friend, I run a business and she feels that when she wants to use my services, she shouldn't pay because we are friends. Mind you, she is not asking for a discount, she believes I should not be charging her at all.
I had to see her today because I felt she was beginning to misbehave, without caring if she is hurting anyone (we are part of a team of 6 women of which she is the leader,and most times she takes decisions without checking with us,there is no form of accountability). Before we met today, I had to prepare oh, listened to Cd's on discernment, asked GOD for wisdom, asked myself if it wasn't pride in feeling I should give her a piece of my mind etc.
She is that......., so I had to do all these things.After the meeting, there was an ache in my heart, i felt very stupid, felt like I wasted my time and regret that I didnt mind my business.
The bible says when you know what you ought to do and don't do it ,it is sin especially when it comes to been your sister's keeper.Should I be glad that at least it is on record that I had spoken to her,I was pained though as there was no remorse whatsoever, It almost felt like I was talking to a stranger! Enough said.
I just pray that my head always accepts correction and I shouldnt let anyone cause me to miss the mark, which is my focus on getting to Heaven!

A new birth
Hello Beautiful people,
This is a slow attempt at blogging,decided to start blogging because I read a lot of interesting things and would like to share these once in a while.Have i mentioned that i love to read and watch television, and well a friend suggested it some months back.I am a christian,outspoken and wishes people would be more open to plain and honest conversations.I am a wife and a mum,who loves it and wonders why people don't understand that women need that 'me' time a lot more than chocolate , I think.Did I mention that I cook as well!
I will blog about what I see and hear, sometimes passionately and might ruffle a few feathers at times, but it will all be for the sake of just having honest conversations.
Here is to a rich life of blogging about food, fashion and life.
