Goals...

My quest to becoming a glam woman/wife/career woman (someday a business mogul) /mother is born out of the share fact that I am vain.

I am being brutally honest here, minus the fact that there is a “feel good factor” that comes with one  walking into a room and people complimenting/ checking / cursing you out – because there will always be haters!

I mean who doesn't want to look good?

After all, there are so many perks that come with looking good (and sounding intelligent at the same time), if you haven’t noticed- a lot of people tend to listen to you, help you or just want to be acquainted

Now, I am a strong believer in “Moderation in all things”

So, it is not about looking for perfection, but about looking after myself and feeling good about the end results.

 I do this for ME and nobody else.

*In the last 2 years, my to do list has gone from 1 to goal to several goals. lol

Goal 1

My main goal is to be healthy & fit (have a banging body after child birth) – so I can wear lovely clothes. LOL. I know right.

I have always been on a fitness journey since the first time I took out time to lose weight 12 years ago.

Current credit goes to out to Instagram fitness crew - This Man most especially.

Goal 2 

*Now I am on a hair journey – like my hair is actually growing!

(No over sabi here – I have got nothing on “YouTube girls!” I just do the basics - deep condition & oil hair regularly, retouch every 4 months)

                                           

Goal 3

*I have fallen in love with the art of corsetry – that waist must be snatched! I call it an art because it doesn't appeal to everyone, and not so many people understand it and how to go about it. (It is entirely different from the current trend craze of waist training in some rubber latex. I'm talking Victorian time steel boned corsets)

Waist snatched

Wearing one here!

                    

Half of my collection *covers eye*

                                       

 Goal 4

*I have recently included looking after my skin! – Not too much knowledge here. Everything I do is as natural and as close to nature as possible. I moisturize with a Shea butter + Castor oil + Emu oil mixture.

Soft and glowing skin is the end result.

Credit to YouTube girls again.

All of this somewhere in between my hectic life – Because I have decided to be selfish – I will take out time to look after myself! And if the roof wants to fall when I am having  “me” time – by all means let it fall :)

Life is too short.

Let's live a little.

XoXo...

Happy New Year!!

It's really crazy how time flies, I remember clearly being in Secondary school, then Uni, and now married with kids. Before you know it I'll be a GrandMa ! aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Scary!

I had better do something meaningful with this my life sooner than later! 

Most people at this time usually make resolutions that last probably a couple of hours, days, week or months. lol

To be fair, I was once in that category, until I said to myself - Why wait until a specific date or period to embark on a journey that I really want for myself, why not now? Why later?

That was the end of me making resolutions.
Besides, there's just too much to do to wait until a new year begins.

No offence to people who take out time to make resolutions- as this most likely works for you and aids in setting your mind to follow through with the resolution.

However, I'd rather - "Make Plans, Not Resolutions"

It's 7:18am, off for a run before the kids wake up!

And I haven't been back!

Hahaha,

This is just so crazy!
I really need to share my struggles on becoming a "sexy thang" living this Lagos city life.

Do you even, Live?

Hi!!

Welcome to my new blog!

I will be sharing the things I do to keep fit, live healthy, look good and survive the madness called life J

I've been meaning to start this blog for a really long time, but life as we know it won't let me.

I won't cry about my woes of having to go through a daily routine from Monday to Friday without help- after all I signed up for this.

Sometimes in the middle of all the joggling I ask myself "who sent me?" 

Don't get me wrong, I love my family to pieces, but sometimes everything gets so overwhelming and exhausting that I begin to wonder how people with more than two kids cope.

I digress.

I have a friend who strongly believes that my stories could help a lot of women out there- married, single, pregnant, post pregnant, working, not working, etc and so I dedicate this blog to her.

We share a common belief  that- there is no excuse out there to let yourself go as a woman, none whatsoever and she has seen me transition over the years from a newly wed to getting pregnant twice and now looking even hotter than I was when I was single.

A lot of us like to console ourselves and sometimes live in denial, or even worse- some women are just oblivious to the fact that they've let themselves go.

You may tell yourself, yea whatever- but deep down you feel good on the days when you make an effort and you get compliments, there's no denying that it actually boosts your confidence.

So why would you not want to do anything about how you look?

Yes, I know it takes a lot and you might have tried everything and failed, but how consistent were you? starting and stopping causes more damage than trudging it through one day at a time, and for me living a less dependent life in old age starts from how you take care of your body now.

I have to go attend to my kids now J but I promise to be back soon
