It's my birthday in two days…Yay! Having said that, if not for people reminding me of this fact and asking what I'm doing to celebrate, or enquiring about what I want for my birthday, I probably would have forgotten. I just didn't feel like planning anything. Having said that, one of my friends kindly reminded… Continue reading Wish List: Birthday Edition

Pool Party Pandemonium
Just over a week ago (week ago…) my brother and his friends flew in to have a pool party at my parents’ house. And yes, it certainly was as indulgent as it sounds. Between himself and his friends, they flew in from 6 or 7 different countries if I’m not mistaken? Just for this party… Continue reading Pool Party Pandemonium
Trunkwell Mansion House, Reading
[Side Note: Picture heavy post] In my previous post, (click here if you missed it), I shared a high school friend’s traditional Nigerian wedding with you all. This post is about her white wedding held at Trunkwell Mansion House in Reading as the title of this post suggests. Having been to well over 20 weddings… Continue reading Trunkwell Mansion House, Reading
Wake-Up Call
Last week I went to a traditional Nigerian wedding with some high school friends (the bride also went to our high school). Nigerian weddings…actually Nigerian events in general, are very vibrant and lively affairs, as evidenced in a previous post of mine (read here) and this one was no different. Typically at Nigerian weddings, the… Continue reading Wake-Up Call

I read a post earlier today by SouldierGirl that made me smile - please feel free to check it out here so you have a frame of reference. The following line nicely summarised some thoughts that have been sitting with me for a while: The battle that has given me the most wounds is the… Continue reading Truth Bomb
A Bolt From The Blue
For a very long time now I’ve been thinking that in my ideal world I would have a fly-on-the-wall photographer following me around capturing the best and most spontaneous moments in my life (plus awesome outfits). Then I could look back on them in years to come, share with family and friends like “oh yeah!… Continue reading A Bolt From The Blue
Forever Friends
I miss my friend. Don’t worry, she isn’t jamming with Jesus, she’s still with us mere mortals (although more often than not I wholeheartedly believe that she is superhuman - there’s nothing she can’t do!) And despite the fact that we communicate practically every day, I just miss her that’s all. She lives 300 miles… Continue reading Forever Friends
6 Word Story: Caution
So I'm feeling in a really minimalist mood at the moment hence the sparse nature of this post/story. I'm being very economical with my words: spoken and written and also with my time. The photos below were taken in front of my parents house in Nigeria, aka The White House (for obvious reasons), back in… Continue reading 6 Word Story: Caution
Climbing The Walls
I recently started climbing – and by that I mean I’ve been to the wall twice. However, on both occasions I was there for almost three hours so I’d say that entitles me to talk about it now... right? I was introduced to the pastime by a relatively newish but very cool friend of mine… Continue reading Climbing The Walls
