The itchy feeling to be better, to make actionable goals and plans which end up falling short of expectations because life, and leaving one worse off than at the beginning of the year.</div><div><br></div><div>In the year 2017, I made those sort of goals. I still remember it as one of my worst years ever. I fell sick a lot and hit big lows so in 2018, I decided to be kinder to myself. </div><div><br></div><div>I set personal growth goals focused on my physical and mental health that involved taking better care of myself and taking a more active approach to life by leaving my tiny cocoon. These sort of goals, I’ve realized, don’t put pressure on one, relatively speaking that is. So I basically took life as it came and worked steadily on my long term goals.</div><div><br></div><div>After one of my instafam commented on the continuity concept, I’ve decided that’s the way forward: Keep on working steadily on your long term goals.

Out with the old, in with the new. In line with my semi-minimalist lifestyle, as new pieces come in, old pieces go out. I’m bored with my current wardrobe but I don’t like amassing clothing.

There is no definitive standard, no set rules by which people who subscribe to them must follow. This means everything is up to individual interpretation.</div><div><br></div><div>This post is in collaboration with @thelvzyblogger who spent several minutes discussing this issue with me on an uneventful night. It just so happens that we were dissecting the concept of feminism school of thoughts (radical and liberal) and so the concept of this post was born. All opinions stated here are mine, however.</div><div><br></div><div>The problem with feminism is that cultural differences and personal preferences aren’t taken into consideration. As with all forms of liberation, people are still boxed in. For the radicals who believe men shouldn’t open doors for women, what if I, as a woman, would prefer the door being opened for me? Does that make me less of an independent woman? Does that make me less of a feminist?</div><div><br></div><div>The root of the problem is this:</div><div>Men aren’t the enemy. Ignorance is the enemy.</div><div>For females, ignorance of the concept, for males who still live in the dark ages, ignorance of the importance of the concept. I have heard way too many females say “I’m not a feminist” in the same tone they’d use to deny something distasteful.</div><div><br></div><div>Two days ago, someone was talking about girl power and I said “yay feminism” and got ready to launch a speech on the matter, only to be cut short by a man saying “women empowerment isn’t feminism”. Needless to say, I was shooketh. Then what exactly is feminism?</div><div><br></div><div>Feminism to this writer is equal chances and rights regardless of gender. Why should anyone be limited not by capabilities and experience but by gender? </div><div><br></div><div>We’re not fighting men, we’re fighting ignorance.

It is addressed as so:</div><div><br></div><div>“To whomever you end up being,</div><div>Wherever this finds you,</div><div>Whenever this finds you.”</div><div><br></div><div>I’ve always had a thing for documenting my thoughts, days and life. Whenever I go back to read my entries years later, it’s like looking into someone else’s mind. It strikes me how much I’ve changed. Matured in some ways, child-like in others. </div><div><br></div><div>I’m of the opinion that our general existence is like a painting. The general basic sketch remains the same but with each phase in our lives, with each experience, it is altered and takes on a new form sometimes subtle, other times marked.</div><div><br></div><div>I watched a movie about seven years back and the heroine wanted a divorce. When asked why, she claimed her husband had changed beyond recognition. Not in a bad way but she reportedly felt she was living with a stranger. “People have a right to change” one of her friends told her. Till today, I still think about it because I still can’t figure out the situation. Was accepting her “changed” husband so hard?</div><div><br></div><div>We change but may not notice because we don’t feel any different. Due to the nature of life, we keep pushing forward, distracted by our daily activities. How many times have we been taken aback by the statement- “you’ve changed”? If I had 1000 Naira every time someone said that to me...</div><div><br></div><div>I’m not not the person you once knew. You’re not the person you once knew. With each ticking second of the clock, a change occurs and a new stroke is added to the painting that symbolizes the person you are.</div><div><br></div><div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;

Every moment is precious- I know this, you know this, we all know this. Man is generally bad at taking his own advice. Hence, Chronophobia. The fear of the future. </div><div>The fear of what comes next.</div><div><br></div><div>What will be will be. What will be however, depends on the actions and the decisions we make now and that’s where the fear stems from. A desire to not mess tomorrow up, a desire to make tomorrow better than today.</div><div><br></div><div>There’s also the thing with passing phases, the anxiety that comes with moving from one stage to another. Staying in one particular phase or stage breeds comfort and since humans detest change even though we adapt, we experience a great discomfort at the thought of something different.</div><div><br></div><div>The key is to turn anxiety towards a change of phase into something more positive. Instead of dreading the event of change, look forward to what ever lays ahead as a challenge but one has to limit oneself from overthinking.</div><div><br></div><div>“We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.” </div><div>I’m a planner and we planners absolutely despise that saying, don’t we? It’s a good policy though- focus on making today good before trying to make tomorrow better. Focusing on the future is an endless cycle that leaves one thoroughly dissatisfied.</div><div><br></div><div>And what happens when you try to recall moments of the past and all you can remember are your achievements?</div><div><br></div><div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;

As such, I realized I need to get my act together and I achieved this in two simple steps.<div><img id="id_3495_4a44_8445_7bbb" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-BJHA22J_xDU1-0QYABizeehkLAKTggAkESdZWTn-2AJFAGX68udm06upKYqWJOQ_diPbhIDTbPoO-yTgKknYdnO07Yl2ombGjIBAx5EMFcv8HkNpG856HNIAUhjm71sfJORPoB-29TQ/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><img id="id_7b44_f31a_d9ac_6793" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaD_tL62LD1y3LB-ipo-AcXYDNSrZfvLFvRJZ8vWyuYhj6gy9QbJPAcJ1_05WFfH-TWho0nPzF5D1eiZEWst7BpoQ6NV_dz6CnoBNqnmFdt4LHPw5Hr9XLVjoPMEFlPE4jv0QxLs609AM/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br>-<b>Plan realistically but intentionally</b> </div><div>I’ve always been a planner, it’s the way I was raised. Every morning, I was supposed to write out my activities for the day and tick off each item till none remained.</div><div><br></div><div>Since the “woke” movement, people have discovered the merits of proper planning. It is however, not as simple as penning things down on a list. </div><div>There are advanced planners who make various types of lists: work, personal, urgent, important but not urgent and so on. I tried doing this but it didn’t work for me.</div><div><br></div><div>The lesson I’ve learnt over time is that it is best to keep things simple. Write down the things you want to achieve each day, the things you don’t want to be not done by the next day, factoring in deadlines and so on.</div><div><br></div><div>-<b>Don’t Procrastinate, Just do it</b></div><div>Another textbook line but very efficient. If something needs to be done, just do it. Don’t factor in feelings of dread or discomfort. Complete the task and move on to the next. </div><div>If a task has obstacles (because, life) move on to the next task or take a break, recoup and attack.</div><div><br></div><div>It really is just as simple as just doing it. Operate with a calm mindset of “life isn’t stressful” and it will make a huge difference. I’ve found that a huge portion of the stress faced when completing activities comes from the pattern of thinking and not necessarily from the activity itself.</div><div><br></div><div>The best way to be productive is to be healthy. When you’re healthy in mind and body, getting things done will be an interesting challenge, not a dreadful experience.</div><div><br></div><div>Words <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">by <a href="file:///var/containers/Bundle/Application/909FBD81-29F0-4064-887E-B4B21CF26BCE/BlogTouch%20Pro.app/instagram.com/miralabelle.o" id="id_2e7_a738_c2c7_acbc">Ijenna</a>.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);

Movies and books fascinate me, more so movies lately due to the virtual transportation of the viewer to different worlds and cultures. I’ve been hooked on Korean movies recently and one thing I’ve noticed is a portrayed lack of individual independence. This opened my eyes to how being independent is a marker of the final stage of maturity in most cultures of our nation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The state of the country has made many people wonder- would things have been better if the white man just stayed and helped develop our country? We will never know but I honestly don’t want to speculate. It just brings to light how a concept is really just a concept until transcribed into something solid. I for one simply just want a system that works first and foremost before we get into details. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Alas, we must all take responsibility. We put them in power. Democracy innit? Some will argue that everything has the tendency to get skewed, that the corruption is bone-deep and that’s why there still in power. I say we’re like our leaders. We kept them in power and adopted their values. A classic case of “if you can’t beat them, join them.” </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My point is this- what good is money when it doesn’t translate your visions of “the good life” into reality? What good is independence when we’re free but caged in a defective system, with no other choice than to grin and bear it? We are now the problem but since we’re responsible for putting the shackles on ourselves, we’re indeed free.</div>

I’ve never made a fuss about this day due to the sentiments expressed above but today, just because, I’ll raise my metaphorical glass to toast this 58 year old country.</div>

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria.</div>

Before we delve in, check out the original post.</div><div><br></div><div>1. I’ve not been eating a lot of fruits, vegetables have indeed taken over. Since I wanted to eat more fruits in a bid to eat healthier I would say I achieved this goal.</div><div><br></div><div>2. I’ve definitely been waking earlier. My goal was 4am but I’ve been waking up mostly by 4:30am - 5:30am so I can check this off the list.</div><div><br></div><div>3. I don’t think exercise was made for me. I’ve never been so inconsistent with anything like exercising, including this blog! I’ll try harder though.</div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_6ddb_46e_c945_fce" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkwLKmdNaaggWuCpBKaolnsnq-z89MNjcDbiHNY3A1yGRuYzFYxxqPqvh_Yf_ZUJkEBP_9T1rC7pGGlVRxIO5vHXecx08nKGyYEC3etbN-BdldP2yL5mM82tZ9a3BjpcVsjJJ7RpR-RpY/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_ef83_e868_e80a_a082" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlkpAGHQTKmgz3M01SxzuPDezClkEL4GAsIHYWx1xnba-RNyOJHpbZ-fwF28w0ffe3Xw9JmfsBci1pleNXA53Fa0wn78JlqSAqSzdi1XRMHPz2BF3mvvwOz-6_ays1AX6Zrm6OeOHnZVU/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_575d_6d70_afad_93bf" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbUlX5NQHhy_5vKMqEyB2C6VYEurE5-tcPJq31SYG9Qh12z8LG5G7hvJ7BYT9lwb9zZI3DucZXiHsa_444ssgN3ydX-ZXLsQUiE6wjP9qizLnpZxsvHeWp_wxN0z43yNZ5NkdEJmJLKUY/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br>4.

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Lately, I have begun to crave a different type of environment, a different lifestyle. One that satisfies both my adventurous side and the loner in me. One that feeds my aesthetic crave but is mundane enough to keep me stable.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">JOMO. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">What does it even mean and why is it relevant? Why would anyone want to be left out? Left behind?</span></div>

You see, the key to intentional living is the act of filtering. Letting go of the things, people, actions, words, and attitudes you don’t want and savouring the precious few left.</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Life is so fast paced and as humans, we are fascinating in our will to have a good time and life even though we have a predetermined end: death. We live and try to live to the fullest, making sure we’re not missing out on anything and everything.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The social pressure that’s a huge part of our generation puts those of us who are disinterested in a tight spot. I remember one time, I went to the club because my friends wanted to and I found myself desperately wishing for my bed and a book.</div>

The questions you should take time to reflect on the answers include: </div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">What do I want from life? What are the things I desire, the things that bring me joy? The things that make me happy, that make my heart race or set my soul on fire?</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Figured that out?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Do these things.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">These are things you’ve been missing out on, the things you should invest your time in. There’s no need to get swept up in the wave of YOLO (You Only Live Once) only to realize that in the pursuit for the optimum life, you were indeed alive but you weren’t truly living.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">You didn’t soak up each moment, you didn’t slowly and purposefully savor each victory.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Almost anything you do in this pose will seem more natural. Tilting your head upwards (just a bit, quite unlike my pose in the picture) always goes well with this pose.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Then play with your hands. </span></h3>
<br />
If you're not holding anything, playing with your hands offers poses that could be sexy, natural, happy or artsy. Put your hand in your hair or on the side of your face lightly brushing your skin. You could also put your hands in your laps, this makes for an elegant pose.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Lean forward.</span></h3>
<br />
This could be done in conjunction with playing with your hands and they do combine quite nicely.<br />

If you're sitting low enough, do the baddie leg pose.<br />
<br />
That is, do the "woman spread" (that's what they're calling it these days) and play with leg poses. Stretch one leg out while the other remains in place.<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Now, combine both.</span></h3>

<br />
Pose with both your hands and legs but remember, do not be too extra as this makes things look forced.<br />
<br />
In the end, just do whatever you feel like, what ever suits you. It's just a picture and there's be other opportunities to slay, yes?<br />

Do you ever feel like this fashion thing is all just vanity? Sometimes, I just get tired of all the effort we put into staying trendy and stylish and I just wonder, what is the point? Is all this worth it?<br />
<br />
The answer is yes. And I'll tell you why.<br />
<br />

<br />
Whilst style is seen by most of us as a form of self-expression and what not, we actually seem to forget the main point which is presentability.<br />
<br />
"Dress the way you want to be addressed"<br />
<br />
No truer words have been said.<br />
<br />
Since our clothing speaks for us before we say a single word, it's imperative we actually give people the right message, isn't it?<br />
<br />

<br />
Now, on to staying stylish when you really couldn't care less. It's actually quite simple and requires just one single step:<br />
<br />
Make sure all your clothes match each other.<br />
That's it.<br />
<br />
I am the poster child for fashionably lazy people. All I literally do day to day is throw on one item. And another. And add accessories. And I'm out the door.<br />
No kidding.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">A few tips</span></b>:</h3>
<br />
It's all starts with the purchase. Don't litter or clutter your life. Buy only clothes and accessories that match your style while being very functional. Try to make sure no item is out of place.<br />
<br />
Buy trendy things sparingly but not immediately. I understand wanting to jump a trend train the minutes it reaches your station but I'd recommend actually waiting for at least two weeks to see if it's really your thing and if it's actually a trend and not a false alarm.<br />
<br />
Lastly, invest in quality pieces that can do double-duty. Triple-duty if possible. What I mean is clothes that can take you from work to brunch to dinner and so on.<br />
<br />
After applying all of this, you will find that your fashion journey would be far easier and smoother when the lazy mood strikes.<br />
<br />
Especially if you're like me and the mood strikes often.<br />
<br />
Got any other tips to add? I'd love to hear from you!<br />

Been natural two years now and I have no regrets. Not a single one.<br />
<br />
Personally, one of the perks of having natural hair is less product and manipulation is needed. Like, I could literally pack my hair into a bun for the rest of my life and be fine. LOL.<br />
<br />

Ironically, people say they dislike being natural because of the money needed to buy "plenty" products. They also say that natural hair is high maintenance. Let's do a quick comparison.<br />
<br />
With my relaxed hair, I dreaded washing my because after every wash it would look like dreadlocks. I would spend an hour detangling then piling on a heap of products. Leave in, Bergamot, glycerine and other stuff I don't remember now. I would then wait for my hair to dry and when that happened, I would straighten it because it looked so ratchet and unrelaxed, especially after I had just relaxed it.<br />
<br />

<br />
With my natural hair, all I do is wash my hair every week with my chocolate petal black shampoo, apply the chocolate petal deep conditioner as a leave-in and add the leave-in conditioner for good measure. I then put hair cream on the ends of my hair to lock in the moisture, pack my hair into a bun and, done. I also comb my hair only once a week.<br />
<br />
The difference is clear. This doesn't apply to everyone though. This is just me. Blissful me, without the stress of remembering to relax my hair and the hair not relaxing properly after the hours of pain. Pfft.<br />
<br />
Now on to the review:<br />

Chocolate Petal is an affordable hair/skin care Nigerian brand. They have other products such as Carrot oil (for skincare), beard oil, whipped Shea butter, and coconut oil. But today, we'll be focusing on these three.<br />

Verdict:</div>
<div>
It's as nice as the other shampoos I've tried. Well, almost as nice. The Vitale Olive oil shampoo was better but then, it wasn't made of black soap. Every single black soap shampoo I've tried doesn't particularly stay in my hair and lather up, it just slips right though. I usually have to heap on the product to achieve a cleansing effect. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As for the chocolate petal shampoo, it could be thicker. Save me more time. Other than that, it's lovely. </div>

Bloody genius. I love this product from the bottom of my intestines. Yes, it's that deep. It's made mainly of castor oil but also has coconut oil, peppermint oil and mineral oil. It makes my hair so sleek, this is the key factor. It moisturizes so well. Like, my hair just soaks up that moisture like it's been so thirsty.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
I use it as a leave in just as I used to use Vital Olive oil hair mayonnaise as a leave-in ie, I don't wash it off. I checked the ingredients and decided I was comfortable with leaving it in.<br />
<br />
The leave-in conditioner<br />

This ish is awesome. After the deep conditioner, I apply the leave-in and boom. My hair gets even better. I particularly love the smell. It mostly smells like honey. It's made up of castor oil, aleo vera gel, coconut oil, shea butter, raw honey and tea tree oil. The leave-in is all natural and conditions my hair so well.<br />

<br /><br />
For my everyday routine, I usually just apply the deep conditioner, then the leave-in conditioner, brush my hair and back it into a bun.<br />
<br />
Overall, I think the brand is quite nice. The shampoo could be better but they more than made up for it by making the conditioners bomb so I forgive them.<br />
<br />
What's your favourite hair care brand?<br />

I've always wondered about couple dynamics and how different people's relationships actually are. Some couples are conservative, some are conventional and some are just plain wild. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think I would fall somewhere in between a Venn diagram of those three. Think being the operative word. People always seem surprised when they find out I've never been in a relationship. I honestly don't know what is wrong with that. Truth is, I know what I want and I am not willing to settle. </div>

What I want isn't quantifiable. It's not about a man who has a car, who's tall, dark and handsome, who is a Christian, who is well-read and it is definitely not about if he has a lot of money. </div>

I honestly don't "feel bad" about being terminally single. If my standards are "too high" then so be it because I would rather stay alone content than loop myself with someone who'll make me wonder "what if"</div>

This write up was inspired by a random conversation going around me when I was trying to study. It was extremely typical. A guy saying if I had a car, girls would "trip" and the girls trying to dissuade him from that concept. I sadly say it but the guy is absolutely correct. </div>

Yes people! Blazers are back! They never really went out of style but they've not hit this big since 2012. I had quite the collection back then actually. </div>

Serbia Wilson and I got together to create this contrasting look: Colour Vs. None. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
None because, is black really a colour? Or just an illusion? Hmm. As I write this, I'm really not in the right frame of mind to be deep so let's move on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is a universal truth that colours mean a great deal. Mood, personality, name it. I could keep waxing poetic and listing all the reasons this concept was chosen but how about we move straight to the outfits? </div>

I paired my double-breasted black blazer with a pair of culottes and court shoes. This outfit has quite a bit of elements to it: fish-net socks, gold crossbody bag and the vintage square sunglasses but I think they all go quite nicely, balancing each other to produce a sophisticated edgy vibe.</div>

Serbia's outfit is low key, colourful but still put-together. Would I combine orange and green? Certainly not.<br />
<div>
<div>
Serbia pulls it off though with little to no accessories (just her glasses) and quirky shoes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What do you think of this concept? I'd love to hear from you! </div>

This concept was something I came up with after watching relatively difficult Tassel earrings DIY tutorials. This method is so simple, I'm actually wondering why it didn't occur to me earlier.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
-Yarn<br />
-Scissors<br />
-small hoop earrings<br />
-something to wrap the yarn around<br />
<br />
When I put up a part of the process on my Instagram stories and most of you guessed right, I was kind of surprised.(watch my stories for my daily activities when I remember to put stuff up : D)<br />

I was actually thinking of crossing it off my content calendar but y'all showed them some love in this post so I decided to post it anyway.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
All you need to do is:<br />
-Wrap the yarn around an item such as a book provided the item is the right length. I actually measured the book to see if it fit my desired length.<br />
<br />
-Cut the yarn into two.<br />
<br />
-Divide the yarn into two equal bundles.<br />
<br />

<br />
-Loop each bundle through each hoop and Tue them off for the tassel effect, very close to the hoop.<br />
<br />
And you're done!<br />
