On the eve of my departure from Benin, I bribed our driver to take me to buy suya from a spot on ADP junction by Airport Road. The harmattan haze that hung thick and unyielding in the sky earlier that day Continue reading →

6 Word Story: Caution

July 7, 2015March 15, 20167 Comments

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 May. Continue reading →

To Cut A Long Story Short

For some reason, I have always felt most inspired when in transit. Whether on a train or in a car, on a boat or in a plane, once I’m en route anywhere, ideas start to flow – which is exciting but can be inconvenient if I am the one driving! Continue reading →

When I was 6 years old my mum taught me how to set the table. . From then on, at meal times, she would hand me the cutlery and plates and I used to get really excited, ferrying everything back and forth from the kitchen to the dining table in my little arms because I was helping like an adult. . At times I would get creative with the napkins but I was very particular about the placement of the cutlery and plates and everything HAD to be straight. . As I got older, there were times when I would resent setting the table if it meant I had to put down the book I was reading or pause the song I was listening to and leave my room but little did I know that it was preparing me for my future business. . I love creating beautiful tablescapes and I’m grateful to my mum for all of that practice in my formative years. . Sometimes, we never really know what skills the chores of our childhood can equip you with to propel you on your path to greatness. . Is there anything you did in childhood that you’re grateful for today? . 📷 @immeiko Florals and styling: @byavecreations Event: @kacheeteecircle Vision Board Afternoon Tea

I’m an omnivert. . What’s that, you wonder? . “Someone who is an introvert and extrovert. Can be extremely introverted when presented with situations they don't want to be in or don't care about, but on the other hand, be the life of the party when they are enjoying themselves and want to be there. Both a very quiet, reserved person and loud, outgoing.” . I previously thought I was an ambivert which is a mixture of the two but an omnivert would be a noun used to label someone who over a period of time changed from one to another and I was definitely an introvert as a child. . I really love hosting friends and family and being around people when I’m in the mood but equally, I enjoy my own company and recharge best alone. . My sociable vocation may seem incongruous with my love of solitude but you’d be amazed at how well it suits my personality and the lifestyle I’m working hard to create. . Would you describe yourself as an introvert, extrovert, ambivert or omnivert? . . 📷 @immeiko Florals and styling: @byavecreations Event: @kacheeteecircle Vision Board Afternoon Tea
