My titles amuse even me these days.

I recently went thrifting and was on the hunt for something to transform and I stumbled on this bag that I actually thought was black.

I remember my first "manicure". I was about eight years old and my friend brought transparent nail polish (nail hardener) to school. She encouraged all of us to use it and by the end of the day, I was still staring at my beautiful "glistening" nails.

Flash forward to 2017, my are nails cut brutally short and I pay very little attention to them. I never saw that coming.

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 changed my Instagram bio a while ago to "Basic, not Boring". It might seem kinda lame but I felt this basically described me (pun intended). I like what I like and I stick to the selected few. Once in a while, I might develop  a new fave but I'm all about the basics.


So therefore, do not be surprised (or alarmed) when you see a lot of repetitions in this haul post. I was coherent while ordering about 100 chokers and a thousand rings.

Ha ha. Jk.

We'll begin this post by defining a style haul. It revolves around two ideas.

Firstly, the person must have shopped quite a bit (5 items is a good minimum) and secondly they must be willing to show it all off. So therefore, prepare yourself. This is going to be a loaded post.
