WELCOME TO FONNY MICHAEL'S BLOG

How my heart beats at the thought of you... I awake again to another day, I turned to look on the other side of the bed and you are not there and then I remembered, it was was all just a beautiful dream. But, how can I make you see me, how can I make you see the intensity of what I feel for you, how can you not see that I am willing to walk away from everything else just to be able to watch the sun rise and set with you, how can you not want this passion, this love, this longing that is right in your face? I try to be the good girl my African society and culture expects me to be; seeing you,  being with you, thinking about you and yet pretending to be in denial of that which fills me and ignites a fire that only you can put out. Every time my phone beeps, I rush to it, silently wishing  in my heart that it would be you, texting or calling just to let me hear the sound of your voice.  I am even worried that you may have become my primary obsession. My friend...

July is here and we are loving it already... Happy New Month Everyone and welcome to a new week. Over the weekend, I was chatting with a very dear friend and in the course of our conversation,  he said, curvy girls give the best hugs. what do you think? Did you know that hugging (and also laughter) is very effective at healing sickness, loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress? Let me tell you a quick story. This one time, I worked in an organization where I thought my boss didn't like me, half the time, it felt like I was walking on egg shells while at work and I dreaded the moments she would scold me over things I did wrong or expectations I didn't meet. At some point, I went through a deeply hurting, personal emotional phase and she found out about it. The following morning, she called me to her office, I was already wondering what I did wrong and was preparing my mind for an early morning round of scolding. She got up from her seat as I walked into her of...

5:50 a.m... I woke up this morning, turned to look at your face; peaceful, rested, far away in dreamland but right here with me, soft snores and some heavy breathing in between, reminding me of our most intensely passionate moments. I pulled the duvet over your chest, admiring every bit of you as I do, snuggling up to your warm embrace, thankful for the gift of you and the love you so generously show me.  How did we even evolve into this? How did you help me conquer my insecurities? At what point did you help me realize that I could be my own woman , be free to disagree over an issue without being battered, be free to throw tantrums and not worry about losing you in the process, be free to express my naughty fantasies with you without being judged... How do you even make me smile endlessly and laugh with careless abandon without a tickle from you? I love how you excite me, excite my mind, challenge me in the best of ways.  I am amazed at how you believe in me ...

We made it to another great week 👏👏👏😊 and oh! Happy Happy Eid holiday to all my Muslim readers around the world, I got my share of the Sallah fried, spicy rice and chicken from my neighbour yesterday..yummy! Let me jump-start your week with some curvy candy. Got a few style ideas for the new week that I thought was worth sharing. Remember the popular saying "Dress as you want to be addressed"? This week is the time to get all dressed up, dolled up and go chase your dreams, Hun, so dress for it.  Plan your week, pick out your clothes for the week and get them ready, you are about to slay, so you might as well have fun with it. No one in their right minds will ignore a well dressed woman or man 😃😃😃 Try to be early to all your appointments this week. I used to be a perpetual late comer at a point while I was working with a bank, and amazingly, my home was just 10 minutes drive to the bank but I was just in the habit of waking up so late, taking my t...

Oh Hey 👋😄😆😊😊😊, It's been a wonderful week here;  fair weather , rains , sunny and it's officially summer somewhere else too ...cool. Happy Weekend. I just thought to share a few Ks with you that I wrote and read to myself every once in a while, I hope this brightens your day and motivates you in some way. They are; Keep dreaming:  How big are your dreams and aspirations? Do they scare you, do they challenge your core, does it look like it is so far fetched? However big your dreams, goals and aspirations in life are, they can come true. just keep working at it one day at a time and trust that it will happen. Malcolm Forbes once said, "when you cease to dream, you cease to live", so keep dreaming because, no matter how much you have achieved,  there is always something better, new heights to attain,  more profitable opportunities. Remember, Lupita Nyong'o said that no matter where you are from, your dreams are valid and yes they are!   Keep you...

If you are plus size, full figured, curvy, get in here! This post is for you 😄😊.  I know that sometimes picking out clothes while shopping, putting together the pieces you have available that will give you that smart, lush look as you step out, can be quite a challenge. So here, I have put together a few tips that could help. Colours:   Once you are plus sized, you may need to be a bit careful with colours, try to pick colours that would enhance your complexion, some coloured clothes  depending on how it is tailored could bring too much attention to the some of the bulges you may want to keep a bit tucked in 😉😉😉. I would recommend darker shades like brown, maroon,black, deep purple etc. If you choose bright colours, then make it patterned, floral ones. Then again, Once in a while, it's OK to be bold and look different with bright coloured pieces such as pants, blazers or dresses.  Fabrics:  Being a full figured lady myself, I h...

If you are African and especially Nigerian, thirty-something and above years old and single, divorced separated or whatever you call it as long as you don't have a ring on it, you will better relate to this. Quite often, I have had men, ladies tell me how beautiful I am and all that, some try to spice it with a pint of insult by saying, you are just too pretty for your size (like plus size people were all doomed to be ugly); I post a picture of me  (decent pictures) on Facebook, Instagram, twitter and in minutes, so many likes, love, wow , beautiful, exhilarating comments pop up and you could be tempted to feel like a Miss World at those moments. Messages popping up in the inboxes, DMs and men trying to flirt just because for whatever reason, their lust or whatever it is they feel is awakened by the pictures posted. Fonny Michael So, recently I ran into an ex who exclaimed "wow you look hot... you are a wonderful person Fonny...", In micro seconds , in my head I...
