Nail Update || Metallic Gold

Hello guys and babes,
It yo girl S to tha H to tha A to tha RON and i'm coming up straight this time with a little of my own kinda piece of mind....
Guess what? I got my nails done, not how I wanted them but oh well at least they're not that bad. I was to get purple metallics from Casabella at the palms but I was too lazy to go all the way so I went to the Casabella at ikota complex thinking stock will be the same but I was wrong lol no purple :'(

   I just had to settle for gold, I stuck them on myself (as a G) as much as they don't look as perfect here, just know they're not that photogenic but in real life ehn!! Oh boyy heads are turning.
See my hint of purple I put on, I gat to put my purple y'know the love I have for purple is like unbeatable banzuke!!

What do you think?

Designer Crush || Roksanda Ilincic x Sophia Webster

             Hello guys, it's been ages I know but i've been busy with other important stuff in my life and I apologize. All that said, I want to tell you about my two new found loves; Roksanda Ilincic and Sophia Webster. I found them someway somehow while I was creating sets on polyvore because I used some of their designs, you can view my polyvore account HERE.
      Roksanda is a fashion designer who specialises in womenswear from dresses to jackets to handbags and swimwears while Sophia is a  fashion designer who specialises in womens footwear. I'm attracted to both their designs because of their bold and beautiful use of colours, fabrics, patterns and lines.
Look at just a few of what I mean:

ROKSANDA'S

Don't you just looveeee this combination?






SOPHIA'S

I should create a fashion set featuring these two ladies.
Don't these just appeal to your senses? Well as we all know, good things don't come cheap so you can imagine their prices ;)

HAPPY WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY DAY

   It's not unlikely that most people haven't heard of World Photography Day. World Photography Day is all about celebrating photography. Whether you
see yourself as an Amateur, Hobbyist or Professional.
   World Photography Day has been celebrated pretty steadily for the past twenty years. The date of August 19th is chosen because that was the day the newly-invented Daguerrotype was announced to the public by the French government, in 1839. The year 1839 is unofficially the year that photography was invented.

  On World Photography Day, some people go as far as throwing parties in honour of photography O.O , you know of course it'll be mostly the white people as for we Nigerians, lol I can't say.
  Since it's world photography day, i'm taking the time to appreciate all photographers and showcasers of photography especially Dotun Ayodeji who's my all time favourite photographer, he makes everything in the photography world awesome, he makes love even lovelier from his pre-wedding shoots to his weddigng shoots.
You can check out his work here on www.dotunsblog.com
     Different reasons attract me to his works, happy World Photography Day Dotun, keep being the best in what you're best in.
Throw a party if you can, celebrate what you love which is photography.
Live the life!

PS - What is happening? Have you noticed how female photographers are rare in Nigeria?

PPS - I need to gear and top this field. You're looking at one badass photoG coming up!

PPPS - Is it just me or does it seem like more Yoruba people are into photography?

PPPPS - This is the last P and S, scratch that, fiki fiki!!

PEACE MAUVERS!!
Happy world photo day once again!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

   Sorry this is coming in on tuesday, I actually wanted to put it up yesterday but...oh well just ignore, it'll be an excuse anyway.
Here's the quote:

"Human beings will fail you but God can never fail you. All you have to do is cast all your cares on him for He loves and cares for you".

Do this. See a change in your life.
Have and enjoy a blessed week xx

REMINDER: January 25th

    It's closer than 11 months ago, it's next month this time, in fact it's in 8 weeks, and even though it'll be during the school period (as always), I'm still excited, I always am.
I once came across a quote off the Internet that read, "Ye receive not because ye ask not", therefore, I present to you - my gift wishlist!


 Precious Metals or Gems: These could be earrings, necklaces, bracelets, wristwatches etc. Real will touch my heart.
I want to be confused like this

Apparel: It can be a dress, top, skirt, hat, bag, head bands etc
A pile like this

Then i'd arrange to something like this


Footwear: It can be sandals, boots, sporty shoes, heels etc so I'd wonder what and what not to wear...

Tickets: It can be travel, concert, food, movie, whatever is good.





A New Phone: Any phone with an amazing camera will be sooo nice. Okay let's be factual, I'd like the Htc Desire Eye. I don't even know what it is with me, the moment my eyes fell on the phone, my love did too. Which colour do you prefer? I prefer the red.





A New Camera: Nothing too big or professional, just the really cute, chic and portable Panasonic Lumix Dmc-Gx7. This would be perfect for another reason - Marco Reus (my footballer boyfriend) is Panasonic's brand ambassador and...you know.

My Beau *.*
This is it



A Celebrity: A date with or a note from or a video directed to me from Marco Reus or Taylor Swift ONLY. Note the ONLY.
See their faces so you know:
Taylor Swift

Marco Reus

MARCO REUS




Okay i'm done, there's nothing else I can think of that I want...for now


*Deep Sigh*

                                                       

This is little compared to what you can do yeah? I'd do better next time lol, be in the birthday spirit with me :')

MY MCM maybe MCE

   It all started a little long while ago, well...I came across this really fine guy and I'm like "thank you Jesus". Don't get it all wrong it's not what you think, Reus remains my MC all day just as I mentioned (here) but it has never hurt anyone to acknowledge another person's beauty now has it?
   Sooooo my mcm this monday is OMAR BORKAN AL GALA!!! Omddsss, omddssss, omddsss lol I am not exxagerating now but he is actually really handsome.
A little about Omar:
He's 23 - 25 years old (You know all these people we can't be so sure)
He was born september 23rd
He's Iraqi born
He's 6'4 inches tall (too cute)
He's a model
He lives in dubai (cute)
He's beautiful -_-
  Apart from being very handsome, my attraction and "crushity" to him are his interests which are modelling, acting, poetry, art, fashion and photography (these are sooo mee *sigh*)
  It's picture time, but noooo...i'm going to limit the pictures I share of my crush, no one and I mean NO ONE will...well I don't care, you can find his picture wherever you want but not on this blog people, NOT ON THIS BLOG -___-
PS - I read over the internet that he was sent out of Saudi Arabia or so for being too handsome. Can you imagine?
PPS - Maybe Reus has some competition now.
PPPS - I am not confused!
Picture time!!!


Such a fine guy right? I know

MY NATURAL HAIR TRANSITIONING STORY (part 2)

   I'm still on the help me stage, and now temptation has followed. Yeah I was to lock the hair sometime in july so I said (here) but it's life, things change. Right now, I won't want to say i'm struggling but it's not all rosy up here on my head at the moment. Hold up! Before your brains start imagining the whats-not on my head, the hair is not bad at all...the only "struggle" I face is the texture.
    The hair is growing out pretty fast, it's not breaking, no flakes on my scalp, i'm doing quite a good job you know. I know some might say there's no such thing as a stubborn hair but mehn I think they haven't met mine. When I was like 7, I was on the natural look but then my hair was breaking too many big combs so I was just made to relax it. Over the years, even relaxing my hair makes no much of a difference as hair stylists would say to me "your hair is due/almost due" and can you imagine I always used the super of my relaxer.
    Is it coconut oil? Mayonnaise? Eggs? Honey? Black tea? Covering hair in a plastic bag for hours? You just name the food or procedure. I have tried all. It might just be me sha, maybe I just haven't found the right hair care products or recipe that'll work for me or maybe I need some patience and some more loving because with this stubborn nature I am soooo tempted to relax it again.

Advice? Anyone?

PS - Check that fine gyal out! Oh boy!!

WHAT A DAY

   God please take control. Patience is a vitue. I'm a girl of virtue so I have to show it. This is what I was telling myself while waiting for that banker to attend to me.
   I walked into that bank before the closing hours of 4 sooo please i'm justified. My heart wanted to start racing because I was to make payments for something that was ending today yet the banker was posting me lowkey. He was telling me of how the system this, log in that, platform those and a bunch of other stuff that just wanted to make me wish I had some kind of powers. You can imagine how I felt, to make it worse, the bank was stuffy plus there was nowhere to sit, has something similar happened to you?
    You know, sometimes, it's good to have leg in somewhere as per know someone of higher authority in times like this, but then, that seems some how as well.
    I waited ohh yes I did, for minutes that felt like hours, tried to snapchat but the building restricted my network so my snaps won't send well I just saved them, smelt so much money I got irritated, sat till my bum felt panery, thought till I decided to write this and blah blah blah.
  "Excuse me, excuse me" like flash I went to the desk, "yeah?", "you can pay in the money now"...ohhh gracious Father!! Thank you!! This was at half past 5 pm but I didn't care baby, I was about done!
  I paid in the money, WAITED a bit more for a paper I was to receive then...bye bye bank, I was out.
What a day, I just thank God it went through, I couldn't have gone and come back after all my wait.

Mauvers,
Patience indeed is a virtue. If you lack it, acquire it.

PS - I tried road side fried turkey today and daaaayyyyyuuuummm it is goood...soo goood.

PPS - I think I still crush that fine banker.

See meeeeeeeeeeeee:

MUST HAVE 001

   Some if not most of you don't know about this beauty. It's so cute, small, amazing, awesome and polaroidy. Yup! The whole polaroid deal is old but this my must have polaroid is new. It's the polaroid socialmatic!!!

What about the socialmatic?
A little from what the great Sharony (I)  read;

1. It shows feelings with mood assistant.

2. It's got "countless" apps.

3. It's got Wifi services.

4. It's got a 14mp front camera and 2mp rear camera.

5. It's got bluetooth.

6. It runs on android

7. It's got GPS.

  I'm sure there's more to it, as for the release? I'm not so sure about that yet, couldn't get any convincing 411 off the internet so it's not yet out in the market. What i'm sure of is, when it's out, i'm getting that baby.
    My current camera could use some rest now, she's reached retirement age, ohh how she's been there for me :')

   I'm a fan of cute tiny portable things, I guess that's why i'm attracted.

F.Y.I

   DBEYR - Don't believe everything you read, this an acronym I saw in my girl talk book. IT IS NOT A LIE!!
  I was so what's the word? Annoyed? Or is it disappointed? Wanna know why? *sigh*. Well, for the first time in my entire life I think I took the weather forecast seriously. I watch Channels television almost every morning (not by will but by my dad's daddiness authority so more or less by force) and I always see the weather reports but I just think them, bleehhh.
    Yesterday, I felt forecasty, I felt like let me give this a try, so I did and it read sunny with light showers for Lagos. Guess what? Ohh yess, it was the opposite, my side of Lagos was sunny all through. Then today, it read sunny like only sun sunny and guess what, it was cloudy with rain.
   Where did I ever go wrong? I know these things aren't 100% accurate, but isn't this just too far off? Maybe i'm missing something like i'm not getting a hang of this yet.

STUDIO SESH

  Ate half of my cookies, pacing back forth, seeing fine men ;;)
Been a while since I took pictures there. Garra do my somewhat Kanye taught me pose lol. They're not so clear but you can't blame me, see the phone this your fine girl is using :'(

PS - See what's behind me? A shelf of nothing less than 600 cds.

PPS - If you submitted your cd to the station, pray it doesnt end up there.

PPPS - If it does, pray that one day someone sets eyes upon them and takes them to be listened and maybe to put on the system for airplay.

PPPPS - I care, so i'd share

Peace Mauvers xx

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"ANYONE THAT TENDS TO HOLD ON TO MONEY IS NOT LIKELY TO BE PROSPEROUS"

   This just tells you to give, be generous. Give and it'll come back to you in good measure. Be sure to give cheerfully and not under compulsion or the reverse might be your case. God loves cheerful givers, give even till your last.
It might seem hard but it's too easy.

SUNDAY THIS DAY

Helloooo beautiful Mauvers,

How's your sunday going?
Powerful? Inspiring? Fun? Drab?
Did you go to church or nah? Smh

Well, my sunday's been amazing!! Lunch with my family was so wow-o-wow I can't explain it.

Church on the other hand was powerful and highly inspiring. Let me give you a brief because I wanna ;;)

  So today's topic was on successful living through oppurtunities. One key bible verse was Ecclesiastes 9:11

WHAT I LEARNT

- Time + chance = Oppurtunity

- The first thing is to desire oppurtunity.

- God gave to everyone; time, chance and power.

- Oppurtunities come. Some are recurrent while some are but once. God is good so a lot are recurrent.

- When you're planning or making an aim, make sure it's in line with God's plan because before you were born, God had set out a plan and purpose for you.

- Don't just take up jobs, find out what they are about to avoid purpose crisis.

- If you must be successful, you must shine your eyes for you do not know your day of visitation.

- Everyone and anyone can be successful.

- No man is utterly wasteful or useless because there is something on the inside of men.

- You need to be specific in your approach to God.

   Then a few examples of people who had oppurtunities and how they used them like Blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52), the 10 lepers (Luke 17:11-19) and the man Jesus told to sell all he had to be perfect (Matthew 19:16-22)

   These are like the key things I got from the ministration and since i'm nice, i'm sharing my knowledge with you.

  In closing, lol "in closing" umm as I was typing, in closing, you may wonder why some people are more successful than you.
Just ask yourself, "How do you use the time, chance and power given to you by God?"

Stay Blessed Mauvers xx

Have a prosperous & successful week!!

A TRIBUTE TO PLANTAIN

Ohh dearest plantian,
   The way you fill me I cannot comprehend, the way I cannot resist you is beyond me. I thank the Lord God Almighty for creating you, He did so for a purpose and now I taste and see it all.
    I love you in every way you can be, be ye boiled, roast or fried. You're sweet in all forms, whether ripe or unripe, hot or cold, dried not soaked, salted not unsalted and so on.
  Words can't describe (as they always say) how much you mean to me and the world at large.

Thank you.

What shall I title this?

Thinking on le blog:

   It's a free world, it's a world of choice, it's a world where everyone is righteous in their own eyes oh yes quite agreed, oh no doubt about that.
There are somethings though that I ask myself, "Should they be deemed right in the eyes of those that do them?" I mean, what goes wrong? How unliterally blind can a person be?

Take this for instance:
   One morning, I was taking a walk to my estate gate to get a few stuff outside. There was this lady also taking a walk for what I know not casually using her phone, smiling and sashaying. In all her demo, let me just say she forgot she had a face mask on, rollers on her hair and was still in her pjs. At what? Like minutes to 10 am, just to mention, when anyone steps out of the estate gate; they are greeted by the express. Oh how I thought she was going to stop at the gate at least and not pass it but dearly beloved, that lady passed that gate :'(
   Let's say she thought she was still in her compound, you know now like her phone conversation took her places unconsciously, who knows?

  In fact, it's so bad that some women drive out to places in that manner, they go to the market, they even go as far as dropping their kids in school!! What's their saving grace? Oookkaaayy, because they're inside car abi? Kenechukwu clap for yourself, well done!!

   All i'm trying to say is that personally I feel it's wrong to leave your house in that manner, no matter how short you think the distance is, unless of course you're stuck in an emergency emergency situation where you really really have no no no single option but to leave your house immediately, of which maybe you can even quickly tidy up but then only in such situations.

Anything other than that is a NO NO NO. Please don't do it, it irks the @#%&@#%#%@ out of me.

Let's help make Nigeria a better place!
Save a life!!

Peace Mauvers xx

WHY I WON'T FOLLOW YOU ON SOCIAL MEDIA

   Social media is as a meet-greet arena no doubt but shouldn't it be my choice to want to meet or greet you? So why do you take offence and start tagging me what i'm not? Is it the way I reply? I know its not right for me to be impolite which i'm not but what's the difference? Even in my politeness, you're still the same.
   It's about follow backs or adds, I don't follow back yet you say "it's not like she's a celeb", have you wondered why I didn't? Like maybe I didn't see it? Or maybe I found something offensive in your profile?
Wait, wait, wait, lets say you followed me like err 3 days ago and I haven't followed back, please darling, you have options:
1. Unfollow me
2. Leave a message
3. Blah blah blah, satisfy yourself.

I don't care, I don't care, I do!! Which is why i'd take the time out to list reasons I most likely won't follow you back on social media:

1. I do not like your bio.

2. I do not like your profile picture.

3. Your name has a factor or an accent to it eg "Dami" for "Dharmhie" or "Oluchi" for "Orlouchie".

4. You add those odd/celeb titles  to your name eg "Young money Tola" or "Sweet pinky princess" .

5. You type in this manner on a real --> Fwesh bwoi jux warna noe yhu.

6. I scan your profile and find you use a lot of offensive words.

7. I scan your profile and find you post a lot of offensive pictures.

8. I didn't see your follow.

9. There's just something missing about you

10. I just don't want to follow you back.

There you have it.
Take a hint though: When you follow me, leave a message alongside.

I have tried my best, if these still don't appeal to you then, sweetheart, I owe you nothing and I don't think i'm sorry.

Peace Mauvers xx

DELAY NOT DENIAL

   Delay is not denial. Whosoever fed you with the words "Delay is denial" lied to you but it's not late for disbelief.
     Denial is not a part of life, you choose to deny or to be denied just like you choose to delay or to be delayed. The thing is, when things seem delayed never think you're denied. It's very easy, all you need to get through a delay is perseverance, hope and faith.Perseverance is like continuing to do something despite difficulty or delay.
Hope is like a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

   During times like this, see what you're going through as a test you want to ace, which means you expect the best result out of it.

   So don't worry, don't fret, don't give up, don't dwell too much on the matter, just have a conviction in your heart that all that happens will work out for your good and move on with other things in your life.

Why am I being all preachy? It's wisdom wednesday!! --> A new thing I decided to start.

Enjoy Mauvers xx

HAUNTED, HUNTED yet WANTED

    He's the male of a past i'm trying to forget, but someway, somehow, I find myself remembering him. I thought it to be easy but i've realised it's not. What is it about him? What does his image want with me? Is he trying to get me out of my mind? Is enough pain not caused already? Isn't it enough that another was picked over me?  How hard does he want the soft heart I have to become?

    I never expected it, thought it never to happen but I was wrong. I had no intentions of being a spy kid, but one clue led me to discover some truth. I wouldn't dwell on his reasons for her, it was hurtful I must say, but i'm still very much into this mystery because I do not know the truth the main yet and I guess that's where all this is coming from.

   He's still wanted, i'm not confused. It's this way because of no formal introduction, it's this way because I melted like wax at his heat, it's this way because of that nocturnal connection (so I read), it's this way because I was numb when it came to him, it's this way because I was led on, it's this way because I was lied to, it's this way because the feelings were not today, it's this way because he's a G at what he does, it's this way because he has a problem he to deal with either an unconscious or a conscious one. It's this way, it's this way, maybe yes or maybe no.
 

    I'm doing no wrong right? I just want to be set free, to be at peace with he and her but I guess he's not ready. He might really be enjoying this. I believe the truth will set me free, so I wanna set free he and I free! That way, he'll be out of my head, my dreams, my thoughts, my imaginations and my whole mind.
Not forever but not as hard in as he is now.

    He's like the  Freddy Krueger of my time only without the weapons, while asleep he's trying to ruin me but while awake he's given me what to think on and how to avoid or ruin him aswell.
  He ought to know; I want to let live, let peace and let God. I want harmony but i'm either being haunted, hunted or both by a male of not even a year in my life yet...because he's still wanted.

(Who cares about a spell check?)

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Are there things in your life that you know aren't meant to be? Things you hope to change? Things you hope to see change? Things that aren't just right? Yes? If there are those things, yet nothing seems to be different then darling, you're sleeping. In other words, you're inactive.
You cannot blame it all on faith, if you want something, you have to go for it. After all, faith without works is dead, so wake up honey, wake up!!!  Do your best!
