So
guys, here’s the thing. I have been drowning recently; drowning in the ocean of
activities that make up my life. I have lost weight recently, acquired eye bags
the size of Texas and broken down one or two times. Let’s not even talk about
the needs vs pockets ratio.
Needless
to say, contrary to my plans and hopes for starting the New Year, I haven’t
been entirely happy lately. This has turned me into such a nag that I sometimes
cringe when I start with these rants. At some point, it was okay to rant; I mean
I have the right to. It’s me we’re talking about here. But somewhere along the
line, I realized that I was actually becoming sad. In the two weeks, I have
broken down in serious tears about thrice and shouted more times than I can
count. My countenance became sour and every day, the ball of negative energy
around me expanded and somehow got tighter.
I
am not going to delve into some of the issues I have been dealing with since I
do not have the privilege of being an anonymous blogger but here’s the deal: I
HAVE CHOSEN TO BE HAPPY. I made a choice to be at peace with myself last year
and by God’s grace, that turned out amazing. I was in my ACCA class on Saturday
and whilst classes were going on, I was bus making lists of my immediate needs
and attaching price tags to them. By the time I was done, I understood why some
parents pop B.P pills after looking at their children’s lists.
After
dwelling on these needs for quite some time, I decided that although it’s quite
disappointing that I may not be able to afford all at the moment, they are not
worth my happiness. So guess what, I dropped all that burden somewhere along
Ojuelegba and moved on. I mean, when has God not had my back?
I
retraced my steps and decided to uphold some of the decisions I made with
taking good care of myself being one of those at the top of the list. So I
thought you might want to hear some of my year-long resolutions. Note that I
didn’t use the term “New Year.”
§ I decided to start zinging my
water with lemons and other fruits. My citrus zinger water bottle is already "IN" and I’ve got tons of recipes waiting to be tried out. Yass
Fit Fam!!!
§ I decided to start pampering my
skin and believe me when I say that most of the things on that list were for my
hair and face. Anyways, I walked into Montaigne Place and walked out with 3
bottles of awesomeness in a Clarins range.
§ I decided to stop being grumpy
and get around to chores that I felt like are not in my jurisdiction. Like I
won’t let myself be uncomfortable cuz I’m too pissed at you for not doing your
job; I’ll go ahead and do what I can cuz I’ve got standards and there’s no way
your smallness is messing with them.
§ I decided to eat fruits every
single night; I need to have that healthy glow. Who knows? Shining bright like
a diamond can get a girl a diamond. Lol.
§ I decided to stick to black
soap…Yes, you heard me. I have been using Cussons Baby Soap for some years and
as you all know, I’m a grown woman whose skin has grown-up issues plus my mum
decided that she was done with my child support programme. So I discovered
FOREVER LIVING AVOCADO BAR which is amazing and does a fine job of making me
N1000 poorer every two weeks or so. Then I went to Akwa Ibom state for work and
an old friend introduced me to this jar of black gooey sweetness called
“ATONG.”
I’ll skip the details and jump to
the part where I started using Dudu-Osun thereafter. So far, I’m loving it.
It’s cleared some of the zits I had on my chest and back and the rest of my
body is glowing. I was a bit skeptical about using it on my face and just stuck
to my Neutrogena face wash. I also read reviews on Dudu-Osun online and many
people had amazing stuff to say about it. I also learned that I can use it for
my hair. Can I get a “Halleluyah”?
*REVIEW ON MY BEAUTY REGIMEN
COMING SOON AS A VLOG*
§ I decided to be more disciplined.
I want to remain a Risk Consultant and become a professional blogger/vlogger
this year and these appeal to my discipline and sense of priority. I’ll have to
work smart, write better, shoot better and just be more efficient generally
speaking. I’d also have to make out more time for squats (and the dumbells for those just arrived...yayy!) and making salads and
smoothies. You’re probably asking why I can’t fit the four lines above into 365
days without tackling discipline. Well, if you’ve set goals that you are
determined to achieve this year and realize that the first the first month is
always gone, you’d have the answer to your questions.
§ I decided to build a great
reputation among most people I’d come in contact with this year. Basically
just be a beautiful person on the inside and on the outside. I know I can’t do
this alone, and am constantly asking for help form God.
I HAVE DECIDED TO BE A REALLY
BEAUTIFUL PERSON ALL-ROUND OR ELSE WHAT’S THE ESSENCE OF BEARING A NAME THAT
MEANS “BEAUTY COMES FROM GOD”?
Xoxo,
