Can you believe September is already here Loves. Should that call for a Yaaaay or Naaaayy? August was a confusing month for me, by that I mean I can’t say it was completely amazing neither can I say it was horrific – but am alive and healthy. What more can one ask for?
Ooooohh wait…..let me share with you guys one of my peaks. I got called for a job interview with Smart Telecom which I thought was quite exciting as I needed to see my competitiveness in the market and guess what?….I got the job Yaaaayyy Me 😁😁, I was super proud of myself guys but Unfortunately I didn’t take up the opportunity due to some mishaps but such is LIFE right? A toast to even bigger and better opportunities😃.
Wearing (as I type this):
A very old pair of red shorts and a white polo t-shirt. My definite home chill outfit – shorts, i should be wearing sweat pants after the kind of weather we had earlier today but those make me so hot and uncomfortable, I envy y’all who live in them. (Ooooh worry you not – no pictures of these old shorts will be seen here LOL).
Smelling:
A perfume I wore this morning – I honestly can’t remember what it’s called and am not about to walk away from this couch (am sorry guys) but i remember my mum had one just like it and my dad got one for me over a year ago.
Hearing:
One of my fave people’s voice with a mix of Basaam’s voice from Tyrant (I am was supposed to be re-watching the show, can you imagine?). Anyway my focus is no where but here, am afraid I won’t remember this conversation boo but I Luuhhh Ya still🙈
Listening:
To the little voice inside my head, I need to get two posts done tonight.
Eating Just Eaten :
My beef in groundnuts luwombo with pilau and chapati:D (FYI – that is beef and groundnut sauce cooked in banana leaves). This is definitely my go to meal when am not opting for junk, like I usually do. Ooooh and today I will declare my love for chapati – Goodness Gracious, this is one of the many keys to my heart (pick a leaf guys).
Craving:
Cocoa pops with ice cold milk and strawberry Nesquik. This appetite is for the gods though.
Drinking:
More detox water on a daily basis.
Reading:
The Lies That Save Us By JL Redington. Firstly, a big hand clap for myself- i haven’t been reading much the past couple of months. This was a perfect book for me, it’s all my favorite criminal investigative shows put together with a very happy ending – I mean who doesn’t love a happy ending?
Watching:
Power Season 2 Episode 9. OMG Kanan or should I say 50? I have always been biased from the start – saying he should have kept behind the scenes to the directing and whatever happens there. I honestly think acting wasn’t one of his God given gifts 🙈 like can you stick to rapping mister? LOL Anyway so he shot Shawn in the head – monster!!
Needing:
A manicure and pedicure like yesterday. For some reason every time I get to the salon am in such a hurry so I just get my hair done and run out.
Liking:
How big my new water bottle is, it takes close to 1.5 liters of water so I don’t have to do many refills through out the day. I aim for two refills once I start my day and I have already hit my target for the day. Am glad drinking water comes natural to me nowadays (PS: I started this late 2012 and I have never looked back😃).
Looking Forward:
To my grand mum’s memorial this weekend, somebody needs to get out of the city even for a day. May she RIP.
Wondering:
When I should spend spend the weekend by the beach – I got too many hats that need to be rocked at the beach. I love the sunset and sunrise as well, it’s not just the hats😃
Waiting:
On a very important call since yesterday and am getting impatient right about now. Ooooh wait, I think I missed the call (why do I always forget to remove my phone from mute mode?😩).
Loving:
The egg white, honey and oatmeal mask. Guys this mask is the truth – and I mean the absolute truth, I am trying to use this once a week (at times I get too lazy for my usual weekly routine and trust me am fighting this) . This leaves the skin tight -you gotta protect that face from Dem wrinkles if you know what I mean😉, smooth and moisturized. Try this and am telling you, you won’t be sorry.
Noticing:
That I have put on a few pounds. PS; am not basing this on the weighing scale – I have a phobia for those guys, I never weigh myself like ever. The last time I did was one and a half years ago – am not about to get depressed by those figures so I basically tell my weight change from my arms (these were inherited from my great mamas and that’s what blows up first).
Enjoying:
This chilly evening with one of my fave people and a big mug of green tea ☺.Am actually looking forward to more of these evenings – last month was a crazy one (Snap Chat can be my witness) so am planning to switch that up to more calm and productive evenings.
Obsessed:
With these all natural DI Y facial and body remedies. I literally use my breakfast ingredients for my scrubs and masks i’e. sugar, eggs, honey, lemon and oatmeal and so far so good – i am actually quite pleased with the results. I haven’t done so many beauty posts but i promise to do at least one this month.
Grateful:
For all the support I get from my family, friends and readers. Most times when I even least expect it – you guys are the #BOMB.
Feeling:
Overwhelmed, nervous and excited all at the same time. September is bringing a few changes to my schedule that’s for sure – update in the next taking stock series.
(Still) Hoping:
To get serious with my fitness – I mentioned this in my first taking stock and can you believe I haven’t gotten to that? Yeah Yeah…..am very disappointed in myself too. But seeing as it’s a new month – am keeping the promise this time round, baby steps – even once a week will be better than nothing right?
Thinking:
About starting my Masters, it just might be on Monday or the other week – it just might be guys.
Admiring:
My little sister’s focus with school this semester and you better keep it up Amu. Ooooh and am super proud of the good grades #Winning.
Believing:
More and more in God’s timing. There’s nothing that can bring you more peace than that, sometimes we want certain things at a certain time assuming it’s what’s best for us so we stress and whine if we don’t get it our way. Best believe everything happens for a reason and God’s timing is always the perfect timing.
Wearing (day I finalized the post):
A black skirt paired with a black camisole and a maroon throw on. I clearly didn’t give this outfit a single thought and i see this after the pictures were taken. So what’s going on with my stomach? Now you can see the few pounds i was talking about earlier?
Skirt and Camisole ~ Forever 21
Throw on ~ Thrifted
Shoes ~ Asos
