If you know me well then you know that I am an extremely picky person and picky people are not exactly the easiest people to deal with or to hang out with (largely due to the fact that they have very fixed and definitive choices and their minds cannot be easily changed). To better understand [...]
Salam alaykum! It's that time of the month where I update all you lovely seekers on the amazing new things I've been loving the past month. I decided to merge my favorites for the month of February and March in one post because the list for February was not that much and it only made [...]
Since I got married a lot of my friends and family have been curious as to what my first time was like. I respond by telling them the most common answer; which is it was awkward and painful. I’ll be upfront by saying that before I got married I possibly imagined what losing my virginity [...]
Her vision was like a mirage in a hot desert land, distortedly beautiful and mighty to behold. Once glance could bring all great men down to their knees, beware of the Poison Ivy.

My sister-in-law (Fati) asked my sister and I one evening, if we were interested in trying out Yoga the next day. Yoga was something I had never tried before but its concept was something I was slightly curious about. When the opportunity arose I decided why not give it a try? So, I gave Fati [...]
I flew in to Abuja the other day with my mum to attend a meeting I had previously scheduled with Humaira (an interior designer), to discuss the concept and design for my new home. It was an exasperating trip for mum and I because we managed to steal only 2 hours of sleep the night before. [...]
