Football Series: Numbers on Players' Jerseys

  Hello Lovelies! I am here again and I have written. This week’s blog post is inspired by a new friend, and you can be sure to enjoy it. Ladies, picture this; It’s Saturday afternoon and you’re together with “Le Boo”, who’s getting set for his dose of weekend football, or is already being served, lol. Sounds familiar, right? Now, if we’re being honest, most of us would rather not have to put up with all of that “madness”. We would rather be doing other things than watching 20 outfield men with numbers on the backs of their jerseys, on lush green turf, chasing some leather ball, for some vainglory of getting it behind a white line and into a goal. What’s worse, is how passionate these men (those playing and watching) are about the game, such that amidst all the shouting and screaming depending on the teams involved (pray that it’s not your SO’s team), for the period of the game, they almost forget that you exist. Likeeee, for real though! However you stay either way, de...

Dads Are Precious Too

Hola Lovelies! I'm back at ya! Today I am writing on an issue we seldom discuss. I got the idea on a WHATSAPP group and I knew I had to lend my pen. As always please read, comment and share. ******************************************************************************************************************************* You: Dad "I need 10k for my hand out and departmental dues" Your Dad: "I thought I just gave you 5k last week for project material, you this child money does not grow on trees! your sister's fees still pending, even your mum just collected 20k for house upkeep, I am tired........" You: Rolling your eyes as you zone out of the conversation, you murmur to yourself "this is why I prefer mummy, she will have given me something at least"  Meanwhile, your Daddy was up all night thinking hard on how he will split the last 10k he has on him between himself, you & your sister. Next day, he gives you 3k, you squeeze your face like deformed ...

  Hello Lovelies! I am back!! Enjoy this short piece as I promise to write more. Kindly share and most especially comment. I love you all 💕💕 Ifeanyi finally takes me to see his parents, it was one of the best days of my life, looking humble, I had adorned myself with the best of the best. "You look amazing babe" Ify said. Eyes glistening, I nodded in agreement. upon arrival, Chief Mrs Nzei took a good look at me and declared "over my dead body will you marry my son!" "over your dead body'? I enquired for clarification. "Locate the kitchen and make me a cup of tea at least you should be good for something" she barked at me. Meekly, I kept my head low looking at how frustrated my baby was doing trying to convince his mum about me.  "I'm sorry ma, here's the tea you requested, she snatched the mug from my already shaky hands, I watched her take two glorious sips. That should do it I thought, in a matter of days the arsenic poison will ...

Compliments??..... Never Reject Always Accept

Hello Lovelies, How have you been? it's been a while, I apologize and admit I miss you guys. Did y'all miss me? Today we will be learning a very common issue/error I have noticed, I admit I was a victim (sometimes still) of this wrong defect in attitude it is.... tada! accepting or rejecting compliments.  Lets's get right into it. A random convo: Me: "Your dress is very nice" Her: " This dress is like so old, I bought it in Yaba, bendown select that year, it is not very expensive jare" Me in my mind: 😔, just say thank you and keep it moving.  Familiar?... Most people give compliments because they want you to feel good. But, if you're like most people, those well-meaning kind words may be hard to hear sometimes.  When you receive a compliment from someone you admire, your first reaction may be to deflect the attention. For example, when a friend expresses their gratitude for your help, you may be prone to redirect the com...

8 Great Tricks for Reading People’s Body Language

By -

Dear lovelies! How have you been? I missed you guys so much. Today we will be wearing our Psychic hats as we try to interpret other people's body language towards us as we also try to manage ours during communication. Let's all Read, Enjoy & Learn from Dr. Travis Bradberry, an emotional intelligence expert. Body language provides an amazing amount of information on what other people are thinking  if  you know what to look for. And who hasn’t wanted to read people’s minds at some point? You already pick up on more body language cues than you’re consciously aware of. UCLA research has shown that only 7% of communication is based on the actual words we say. As for the rest, 38% comes from tone of voice and the remaining 55% comes from body language. Learning how to become aware of and to interpret that 55% can give you a leg up with other people. When you’re working hard and doing all you can to achieve your goals, anything that can give you an edge is powerful and w...

Hello Lovelies! I am back and I'm super excited so I am starting with plenty accolades to my favorite football club, Liverpool football club!. This extraordinary club showed Team work and Tenacity from 3-0 down on aggregate against Barcelona Football Club. The most important lesson for me is the reiteration of NEVER GIVE UP!. Never give up on others and most importantly never give up on yourself. Let's get into today's topic, this week we are talking about Happiness, wanna be happy? do these ten things & even more according to Dr.Travis Bradberry to achieve a happy attitudinal change.  We’re always chasing something—be it a promotion, a new car, or a significant other. This leads to the belief that, “When (blank) happens, I’ll finally be happy.” While these major events do make us happy at first, research shows this happiness doesn’t last. A study from Northwestern University measured the happiness levels of regular people against those who had won large lott...

Hello Lovelies! How you doing? Today we're vulnerable and digging deep into our super emotional side. This post is a short literature that was inspired by the depth and wells of love emotions that we all face. Whether male or female everybody has once loved someone who never returned the favor. And as such, i'd love to hear from you? write my next post for me, tell me your experience about the love you gave and never got back to you. Unrequited Love: One sided love, not returned. Hey You, I love you, when & how it happened is still a mystery could it be the day you laid on my proverbial disvirgined couch with my head right on your chest and you were vulnerable so vulnerable I had promised myself and God that I will take care of your heart and help shape you to a sweet refined man? I love you, don't you see it when how I light up like a bubble of stars when you come around? I love you, even though you can't see my heart make a flip when yo...
