Hey people! I hope you had a great week!

Here's some random pictures from Sunday afternoon! I'm really getting used to this native thing! It's so comfortable! This time I got to rock my whites with my two-tone Oxblood Aldo shoes!!! Shout out to my sis & nephew (the shoot director) for the pictures!

30 Must-Do’s While You’re Young Enough to Read This

I came across this recently and thought I'd share. The write up is culled from Marc Chernoff of MARC AND ANGEL HACK LIFE & was inspired after a blog reader was diagnosed with cancer and she realized she hadn't taken time out to LIVE. We don't need to have a near death experience before we realize there's more to life than the daily hustle and bustle of Lagos & Nigeria.

So let’s wake up!  ALL OF US!  If you can read this, it’s not too late.  Make today the beginning of your second chance at life.  Take time to figure yourself out.  Take time to realize what you want and need.  Take time to take risks.  Take time to love, laugh, cry, and learn.  Life is shorter than it often seems.  Here are 30 must-do’s you can start working on today:

1. Accept every unique piece of yourself. – The secret to happiness and success is the acceptance of yourself.  You will never become who you want to be if you rely on everyone else to qualify you.  Own yourself completely, just the way you are, flaws and all.  Once you love and accept even the worst possible version of yourself, you are free.  So always go with yourself, never against yourself.  Be who you were created to be and you will set the world on fire.
2. Make yourself a priority. – Truth be told, there are only a few people in this world who will stay 100% true to you, and YOU should be one of them.  Prioritize your own needs into your daily to-do’s.
3. Take positive action. – Don’t sit back and let things happen to you.  Go out and happen to things.  You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.  Stop saying “I wish” and start saying “I will.”  Turn your cant’s into cans and your dreams into plans.

Hey folks! How's the week going? 

It has been saddening listening to the news and hearing news of death all in the name of seeking employment in Nigeria! We need to keep praying and working to the betterment of our dear country. Don't think your idea or dreams are too little because you'd grow and employ different people. That way you might just be saving lives!!
