3 Years Natural and Loving it!

Happy Birthday to my hair! Honestly I don't know if today is the exact date but I know I did my big chop a little before my 18th birthday in the month of April.

That's a picture of me a little after the big chop, it was quite a shock for my family but they got used to it eventually. I didn't let them know I was going natural, I just went ahead and did it. I just came home for summer one day with really short hair from the long relaxed hair they were used to seeing me with, the change was a little too drastic.
I did a little interview on my cousin's natural hair blog, you can check that out here.

But basically I went natural because I was tired of constantly having to put relaxers in my hair. I have patience for anything that has to do with having my hair done but when it came to "retouching" my hair I hated it. At this time I never even knew ladies rocked their hair in it's natural state I was considering having short hair for te rest of my life until I spoke to my friend Tayo and she showed me the light. Once I did my research I was hooked cuz I love big curly hair! (That's pretty obvious from my wigs, lol)

Morange Girl


Hey guys!
I bought 'So Chaud' lipstick and 'Morange' lipgloss from MAC the other day, trying to experiment with new lip colours, black might be next. So with a combination of that and my current nail colour, I decided to add more orange to the equation! And No... I wasn't going anywhere #bloggerconfession Lol, it has become my lifestyle to dress up with no where to go, unless I'm being casual to the library. Hope you like! x

Pride: You.Dirty.Evil.Thing - Peace Oseyenum


Hey guys! Here's another post from one of my fave writers and guest blogger miss Peacy :)
Hope you enjoy and learn a thing or two
***

Please Read....
Pride- self righteousness, selfish pride, pride
that is malicious, indirect/mental/psychological pride.

Pride connected with shyness/low self esteem, conceited
pride, pride related to shame and condemnation.

Pride related to un-forgiveness/offences/sensitivity/emotions.

Pride related to dignity and self importance/
authority/titles/ self exaltation, arrogant pride and ignorance in pride, egotistical pride, competitive pride.

Pride related to rudeness/ bad attitude/prideful
behaviour and characterisation/ , pride related to beauty/self appearance.

Pride related to the inability listen to people
regardless of status etc etc, or pride related to the inability to seek for
help.

There is so much pride in this world that as Christians we may actual be oblivious or just plain ignorant towards the little shapes and forms it appears in. Pride isn’t just the character image of the tall, arrogant, muscular popular guy in American high school films that everyone LOVES to hates but wants to be friends with or pride isn’t just the basic ‘popular cheerleader’ girl who is rude and evil yet everyone envy’s. Nope. Pride is diverse.

Open Heavens: Any Commitment?

Continue for today's devotion.
This is the main reason most of us claim not to see the works of the Lord in our lives, and it all comes down to one question... "How committed are you to the Lord?"

Honestly I could live in these shoes, they are really comfy, definitely a good investment. Decided to go for a tomboy-ish look with the camo jacket today and the sun was out so it was perfect. I still had a jumper and a scarf for when I was leaving the library at night, but I'm so happy it's getting warmer!!!





Jacket : Vintage shop
Topshop crop top
Alexander McQueen ring
Isabel Marant shoes

Hope everyone's good! Have a great weekend!
Part two of the post without the jacket will be up later, tomorrow maybe :) x

Yes of course we all know the popular Wiz Khalifa song the title was inspired by, I suck at creative blog post titles so free me. So sorry for leaving the blog hanging for so long, I've just been out a little out of it but I thank God still. Serious preparations fr exams have started but I will try to update frequently, my manager and photo editors are vexing (inside joke, hi guys!) Lol. It's a really simple outfit I wore to the library, but it's something! :)

A Little Motivation

Don't allow your disability to COMPLETELY disable you.
He will give you strengths in place of your weaknesses.
No one enjoys a pity party, Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder are blind but they didn't let it stop then from using their ears to help in making amazing music
Your solution needs to come out of you, with the help of God.
He will ask what you want (the answer is not what he can do) but what you want
Just keep doing what you can and don't focus on what you can't
There are a lot of people that just want to be where they are and just depend on others, build on yourself
you are unique and there is something about you that others don't have so don't focus on what you don't have.
This hunger for things that aren't yours can trigger greed and any other sins.
Whatever we concentrate or focus on becomes a giant in our lives ...like negativity... and it's an easy thing to do. But the Bible says seek first the kingdom of God and everything else will follow (Matthew 6:33), prioritize the kingdom and God will take care of the rest. The Bible also says, Without faith it is impossible to please Him (Hebrew 11:6).
Faith is knowing the Word, believing in it and acting on it,
If the word of God is big enough in your life it'll cast out every doubt.
Focus on ur strengths and dont just stop there, do something
vision, core values, experiences
The ability to create our future is in our hand and Jesus has done his part

-Pastor Wale Adefarasin

I listened to a sermon on the This Present House church website and these are just a few things I picked from it that I thought I'd share. His main Bible verse was John 5:1-6, the Pool of Bethesda story. Bethesda meaning House of Mercy, Pool of Grace. All I've written can genuinely help me personally and with that I'm sure it can help one or two people who read the blog, just a little motivation to give you that extra push that you need to get through something.
Thank you so much for those who left a little feedback on my random forgiveness post. I really appreciate it and I'll keep you updated on my progress. :)

Love,
Eki

P.S: A lot of us spend time on the internet doing rubbish, yes! Rubbish! There are also a lot of beneficial things on this internet so please use it to your advantage as well and take some time out to look into a few bible verses, sermons and a lot of other good stuff.

Little White Dress

Hey guys!
So here's an outfit of the night post for ya! I wore this for my friend Feyi's 21st birthday soiree which was fun! Photos from the event will be up once I can get my hands on them cuz I didn't take my camera with me. I've gotten tweets and comments asking to include where my outfits are from so I'm gona start doing that now :)
At first I was slightly worried that I was doing a little too much but I just decided to go with it, everything else was real plain but the scarf and earrings added a pop to the outfit. Some friends didn't like it *ahem* lol but to each his own. Hope you like :)



Shoes: Tory Burch


Earrings: Oscar de la Renta

#Nowplaying

Hey guys!
Happy Easter! Hope everyone enjoyed the extended weekend. I didn't, had way too much work on my hands and all nighters have become the usual, this is the disadvantage of procrastination.
Anyone that follows me on twitter will notice I only tweet #nowplaying this #nowplaying that so I've decided to update you lot here on what I'm loving at the moment. Be it new releases, oldies and throwbacks, Nigerian or not, I listen to them all lol.
So I'm currently loving Justin's 20/20 Experience album. Honestly I can't pick one song but Mirror is just something else, more like epic. A lot of people don't seem to like Suit & Tie but I think it only appeals to a certain ear if you get what I mean :/ (confused on how to explain better). It's really not a horrible song, I just think you have to have an ear for a certain sound to appreciate the song and all it's awesomeness. Strawberry Bubblegum, Pusher Love Girl, Tunnel Vision, Don't Hold The Wall... the list goes on. Some songs give me a little nostalgic feeling though, they remind me of his old stuff and honestly I don't mind but it I know some people that don't really like that. Timbaland... Forever a genius.
Currently Loving: Castles remix - L Marshal, Burna Boy & Niyola
Feel Alright - SDC ft Boj & Poe
Can't get tired of: Bastard - Three Wise Men
One song that would describe how I feel right now???
The Weekend - Michael Gray
Because I dance around in bathing suits every weekend and make photocopies of my derriere.
I honestly don't know how often I'll do this but we'll see, I'm just in the library atm tryna take a short break and I thought I'd update you guys.
