Valentine's Day is around the corner, and before everywhere turns red, the price of flowers skyrockets, restaurants run out of bookings, and taxi prices get even higher, we'll be bombarded with gift ideas for him and her. Then, there are those who are feeling down because they don’t have a partner and others preparing for first dates. But before we...
Growing up, I saw many Black women wearing wigs. It was something I often witnessed, especially in Nigeria. Even in movies, Black women or Black characters were always seen wearing wigs. I come from a religious background, so my mum never wore them, but when I got to university, I tried one for the first time. As a writer and lifestyle blogger, I was...
Yeah, it brings back all the memories as it marks two years since my sister left us to rest. It has been a mix of emotions. Some days are lighter than others, and some days are heavier. I know everyone hurts sometimes, but this one seems like it’s lingering—it’s not going away. She was what love stands for; she was my second mother. She was always...
I couldn’t sleep last night because I slept in the afternoon, and let’s be real—whenever I nap during the day, I struggle to sleep at night. So, here I am, writing this post at 4:01 AM. I tried distracting myself by watching a show, but here’s the thing: if I feel sleepy, I’ll usually just knock out. But this time, I wasn’t sleepy at all, and I started...
It is appalling, infuriating, and beyond disgusting to hear about acts of cruelty like those committed at the Henrico Doctors’ Hospital NICU. How can anyone look at a newborn—fragile, innocent, and utterly dependent—and cause deliberate harm? And for what reason? The thought is chilling. These are infants we’re talking about—babies. The very notion...

I wish you all a Happy New Year and can't wait to read all your blog posts in the year ahead,...
In my previous post, I mentioned it would be my last, but when I came across this news today, I felt compelled to share my thoughts.For every country I have lived in, visiting restaurants has been one of the fun things I enjoyed doing. Never have I been obligated to give tips. Even in Ukraine, where I really enjoyed the services when I went out, I...
While I was watching a reality TV show about a family who lives and raises their children in the bush, I was struck by the profound implications of their story. This family had built their life in the bush, far from the conveniences and demands of modern society. However, the government burned down their home located on public land, forcing them to...
Have you taken the time to reflect on the year from its beginning to its near conclusion? I was at home when I had a deep reflection on Thanksgiving Day. God reminded me of all he has done for me this year, and I just started praising and worshiping him. God has guided every aspect of my life this year. God gave me peace, taught me patience, and shifted...

The Impact of Teenage Pregnancy on ParentsTeenage pregnancy is one of the biggest fears for many parents. Growing up in a large Christian family instilled in us the belief that marriage is honorable, a belief that continues to resonate with me today. The truth is, teenage pregnancy doesn't just affect the teenager involved; it often shapes their lives...
Let’s be real—Secret Santa in the office is not everyone’s cup of tea. Personally, I’d rather skip it entirely. There’s always that lingering pressure to pick something “perfect,” and no one needs another mug collecting dust in a cabinet (seriously, let’s retire the mug gifting trend). But if you’re in it and want to make your gift count, here are...

I recently bought a fantastic jacket that I can confidently say is a great buy. I got this jacket the same day I visited the Riverside Museum in Glasgow. The bus dropped me off right in front of a store, and I decided to browse before using my map to find the museum since I still had to walk the rest of the way.This milk-colored quilted jacket...
Let me just drop this here. As many of you know, I love sharing the things I’ve learned while living this beautiful life God gave me. There are times in life when you need to stop apologizing and focus on your yourself and goals. I once offended someone, and it wasn’t a minor offense.
