Quirky items are interesting items.

Quirky bags really trended for a while and as always, I'm a bit late on getting on the train.

There's this satisfaction in answering "Oh I made this" when asked "Where did you get that?" so I chose to make a quirky purse.


This DIY is so simple, my dog could do it with his eyes closed. I'm not kidding. Here's how to make a quirky clutch purse.

You will need:

-A bag or your preferred fashion item.
-Glue.
-Add-ons.

Method:

I decided on making a face. To do this, you'll need eyes, a nose and a mouth. My purse already had something that could function as a mouth so I skipped that part.

For the eyes, get something with a flat surface that could function as eyes. I used a pair of old earrings. You could also use fabric:
-Cut two black circles
-Cut two slightly smaller white circles
-Cut two very small black circles.

Layer these circles from the biggest to the smallest and glue them on respectively.

For the nose, you could use anything small. I didn't have a button small enough and didn't want to use fabric so I curled a cord and glued that on.

I am by no means a beach person. I really don't see the point of going to a place where there's an endless supply of sand and raging sun.

Needless to say, I especially don't understand why Nigerians get excited about going to the beach. We get enough sun and sand already in our day to day lives, yes?


And yet, here I am jumping for joy. Oh, the irony.

Last month, before I resumed blogging, I went to the beach with a couple of bloggers. It was suprisingly quite fun. To be honest, I went primarily so I could make video content for my you tube channel (subscribe here  ; ).

The hangout was organized by Out With The Bloggers (check out their Instagram) and included a boat ride to the beach and back.

That had to be my favourite part. After I got over my fear of course.


We went to Takwa Bay "The safest beach in Lagos". This hangout gave me insight as to  why people love the beach so much and what I've been doing wrong all along. Here's how to have fun at the beach:

1. But first, a fun mind

I've learnt that you can have fun doing almost anything as long as it doesn't include a painful or an unpleasant event. In my case, poetry for instance. I just can't...

It's all about conditioning your mind. That been said, my first tip is to keep an open mind.


2. Fun and games

It's not enough to take a beach blanket and just lie in the sun. That gets old pretty fast, yes? Come up with cool games you could play with your friends or stick to the classics, for example, charades. Always a good idea.

3. The more, the merrier.

The more people you go with, the more fun you'll have. They're directly proportional. I'm still not exactly sure how it works, but there you have it. If you can prove this formula, do not hesitate to leave a comment.


6. Nostalgic fun

If all fails, take out your camera and snap away. Capture moments, things that catch your eye, take snapchat selfies and make cool boomerangs.

I promise, tomorrow you'll be looking at those pictures thinking "Wow! I had a lot of fun yesterday".

Even if you didn't.



Hope you enjoyed this post? I had fun writing it and now, I'll probably cringe everytime I hear the word "fun" for the next two weeks. Nevertheless,...

What do you do for fun? 

Leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

Transformation DIYs are always fun to undertake and using a t-shirt is always a good idea. I realized that other than this tutorial, where I turned a basic t-shirt to a cut-out crop top, I have done any T-shirt DIY.

I did a similar tutorial here where I transformed my jeans to a tote bad with a valentine inspired embroidery-like quote in it.

This video is definitely for you if you're like me who always leaves picking outfits till the very last minute then starts questioning the whole point of going out and recalls how good it felt the last time you stayed at home with your favourite flavour of ice cream, slurping on it's creamy goodness.

You tube was something I immediately dismissed the first time it popped in my mind.

I had been blogging for a year, with little to no results showing on my stats, and was seriously struggling, trying to get noticed. It's weird that 2 years later, I'm actually doing this.

In fact, every time I think of the the Journey to come, I get half excited, half scared but knowing that you guys will support me helps me believe things will work out just fine. Yesterday, my best friend (Seyi) and I posted our first video on a you tube channel we just started.
