EVEN SOME CHILDHOOD DREAMS DO COME TRUE

Happy New Year everyone!!! I took a long time off the blog, call it an extended Christmas holiday Lol. I sat down today to reminisce on some of my childhood dreams  and fantasies and while some made me laugh out loud, some showed me just how silly a child's mind can be sometimes and some brought that It -came- true smile to my face.
Like I posted on my Facebook page earlier today and got a number of hilarious responses, I remember as a little girl growing up that, every time Michael Jackson 's videos were played on TV, I would watch excitedly and say to myself that when I grew up, I would definitely be a Mrs. Michael Jackson. He was my absolute childhood idol.

                                         It graduated to the dreams and fantasies of being a Mrs. Kenneth Babyface Edmonds and having him sing  all those amazing love songs to me for the rest of my life.

As laughable and as silly as these may sound, there were other dreams I had that bring that my-dream-came- true smile to my face in present times. Then,  I would use my pen as a microphone and arrange my younger sisters as my back-up singers and we would sing everything from rhymes taught in school, to church choruses, to all the songs we heard on TV (we probably didn't even get the lyrics right) and today a couple of decades later, I am actually a recording artiste although not with my sisters as my backup singers most times. (Laughs)

Well, I had to write this whole story about my childhood because I am trying to get you to remember some of those great dreams you nursed as a child or as a teenager which are yet to become reality and urge you to get working on them because it is not late.

And if you read my posts here on my blog regularly, you will know that I am a firm believer that anything and everything is very possible and dreams do actually come true especially if we consciously make efforts and are dedicated to making them reality.

Have a wonderful month of February everyone and get working to make those great dreams of yours come true. Remember to thank me later.

SEX & THE PHYSICALLY/MENTALLY CHALLENGED

Image
I had a conversation with a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago and after that I took a while to think if I should write something on this or not. What triggered that conversation was that, a crippled woman on a wheel chair pulled up beside my car in traffic asking for alms; She had an obviously malnourished child who should be about two years old with her and was clearly pregnant with another child. My big rhetorical question was "What kind of person would do this to this woman?" Every now and then we hear stories of physically and mentally challenged people being sexually abused especially the people with mental disabilities, they are raped, maltreated and neglected, sometimes by the very people who are supposed to protect them. They are sometimes left at the mercies of strangers and the cycle of abuse and uncertainties continue. I know that people with disabilities whether physical or mental also have sexual needs because they are human beings with emotional

TAKE A BREATHER, WILL YOU?

It's a casual Tuesday for me Guys, no thanks to my drycleaner 😩😳😞😞 So,  as I was trying to come up with a simple, casual ensemble to wear out this morning, my house keeper walks into my room with my wig all brushed up nicely and handed it over to me, she saw the look of despair on my face as she handed it to me,  and quietly dropped the wig on my dressing table. I told her after dressing up, that I do not want any wigs, extensions or attachments on my hair for a few days , at least until the coming week, "let my hair and scalp breathe",  I said. Sometimes in life, we get to face disappointments, failures or some quite unpleasant situations and try to do all we can to cover for them or at least pretend like they didn't happen or we didn't go through them, and sometimes, we get so worked up over them that we loose our inner peace, sleep and the zest for our passion, dreams, or even life itself. Challenges come, but great times also come too.

FASHION TIPS FOR CURVY GIRLS

Image
In case you don't know yet, size 10 is the new size 6. Being curvy is OK but you need to wear the right stuff and understand that not all latest fashion trends are suitable for curvy girls. We create our own unique style and baby we look hot in it! For my curvy ladies, here are a few tips that could help. Wear dresses that accentuate your best features. You do not want the stomach area to make you look like you are pregnant when you are not . Chose your fabrics carefully, stretch fabric is a good option. Do not hide yourself under a shapeless gown or big skirts. Avoid too many drapes , layers or ruffles on your dresses. Keep it simple, classy and chic. Make Up: Be bold with your make up but make sure you use the right colors, blending colors are still very trendy and gloss really works for pretty curvy girls. Your mascara, blush, red lipsticks should always be close to you (in your bag always if possible). Your Hair: Your hair speaks volumes about you, Keep
