Outfit of the day #Eid edition



Hello beautiful people! This is my Eid outfit! Uhhuh, I tied a wrapper which was a risk but I somehow managed to pull it off *dances* Because I suck at tying the wrapper, I have avoided it over the years but I just realized that it's rather elegant-that is if you can pull it off without looking ridiculous- 😂 and more mature.

INTROVERTS; THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD PEOPLE



Who is an introvert? An introvert is a reserved person. A person who doesn’t socialize much, whose thoughts and feelings are directed inwards. Personally I think introverts are the most misunderstood people. Why do I think so? Because I am one of them.
As a reserved person, for instance say you enter into a room full of people and you just find a quiet spot and say nothing to anyone for some time probably hoping no one notices you. You keep to yourself just minding your business or you merely just observe everyone. Most people are bound to misunderstand you secluding yourself or observing them. Most of them will automatically assume that you are so full of yourself or that you feel like you are better than everyone else. It’s a brilliant conclusion that isa perfect fit for how you behaved but is it accurate? NO!
See an introvert is like a pearl in its shell. The shell is just about where he would rather be half of all the time. It’s a safe haven, a sanctuary…you name it. The shell is home to tons and tons of thoughts, visions, imaginations and creative ideas. Sometimes however, this shell can hold back an introvert because we get so comfortable inside it that we almost never want to leave. Personally I have and I still am suffering from this. For example, I conceive this Idea of posting an outfit of the day but then I shudder at the thought of having to leave my house to go to the location for the shoot. This has happened one too many times!
Oh the shyness is another misunderstood trait of an introvert. Sometimes it isn’t even shyness; you just don’t want to stare at all the faces while walking into a room. Other times it is the shyness at play. When you give brief responses to questions or you smile instead of answering an uncomfortable question.
When you say little people tend to cook up stories in their head to add to it. Most of these cooked up stories are nowhere near accurate but because people feel the need to know more than you reveal, they give life to these fictitious tales and before you know it you have a BIG misunderstood fact.

Throw back








Hi there!
I'm doing a throw back to my birthday last year.

So yes I turned the big '20' back in october. I have always felt that twenty is big and it means you're all grown up and everything...well I was wrong...lol...( that awkward moment when you realize you've been wrong for so long!).

Well it felt quite normal, it still feels normal...lol...(Okay let me be serious). On every birthday, I tend to review the past year, set new goals, work on those goals that I haven't suceeded at. From October to now, Alhamdulillah, its been good! Twenty has been good. I kind of like twenty and I don't want it to go...lol(like I can help that). Turning a new age makes me feel weird.

I have experienced a lot of changes along the way though. I never expecyed such changes. I recently noticed that my sense of smell is like two times stronger! (is that even normal?) I tend to percieve scents or odours faster than people around me. I have also gotten more sensitive and irritable (so annoying!!!) to germs and random things. This is one of the many reasons why I don't go out often-actually I'm just really introverted. There have also been positive aspects(mostly very personal) see I travelled to Abuja a little over two months ago for like five seconds...lol but it was really eye opening and I'm kind of still basking in the euphoria(someone needs to pinch me like real fast!)

However I am still struggling to fulfil the goals I set last year. The first is to complete my book which I still haven't been able to do. I love writing! Its like my first love but its difficult for me to write most times. I keep having severe writing blocks but hopefully I will keep trying to complete it before this year runs out.

Okay guys, I swear this post was not supposed to be lengthy, I don't know whats going on!

Lastly, the gorgeous cake up there was actually a surprise from my siblings...I had absolutely no idea! (honestly I was so damn broke then...lol *confessions of a broke girl*) I hardly ever gape in surprise but I did that day (I mean who does that?)
Anyway, this post has been too lengthy... please leave your comments below...I would love to hear from you!
