Kiss Kiss Lulu Guiness

Hi,

So much going on. It's that time of the year... again. Decisions to last a lifetime. I find myself in a whirlwind. But to keep myself sane I window shop online. And I came across Lulu Guiness's designer purses. It started with this cylindrical piece which caught my attention.

Since then I researched and found so many quirky unique bags that I knew belonged in my possession. (My wallet willing). The most popular of the her clutch purses are the iconic lips. They are everywhere with the 'pose': put the purse on your face so it looks like you have engorged gorgeous lips.

Brazil 2014

World Cup Brasil 2014

Another world cup is here!

When it comes to football i just stick with Chelsea, Mourinho's clubs, and any good player I notice and any cute players (*wink*, still a girl). On a national level, yes Nigeria my home team and England and any favourites who are well known in Europe.

I know lots of guys will be watching all the matches feverishly marking players that would be traded during the transfer window gauging their skills and blah (it is that serious). Not for me. I might not even watch any match and just take advantage of the period.

There is a kind of tingle in the air during the world cup. Its like an infection and people are more tense/relaxed. You can skip work early, stay out late and get away with anything because people are looking the other way and you know they have just one thing on their minds. Its like Christmas for a month.

Makeshift Happy

Makeshift Happy

This year has been challenging so far. I am happy I have been able to snap out of it most times and smile. Of recent I found out that happiness is a choice. I dressed up in my favorite clothes put on some lipstick and decided to be smiley and chatty with people and it kinda worked. So now I know my happy triggers.

Frozen Yoghurt(Yogurt) Party

Yoghurt/Yogurt

I have been getting more and more concerned with my diet since I started accepting that my body may never be svelte again and Kim K curves are my reality. I don't run to salads but I started drinking more water and I started running (on and off), and I am also thinking of picking up a sport.

One other thing I do now is over rely on yoghurt. It doesn't help that there are more and more frozen yoghurt shops popping up everyday. They are so delicious and they taste so much like ice cream. And my training app recommended yoghurt smoothie recipes so I have this impression that yoghurts are 'healthy', but are they really?

Research online suggests that while yoghurts are healthier than icecream it won't help taking it all the time like icecream and expect to not put on some weight. To be called an Ice cream, it must contain at least 10 percent milk fat. Ice Cream is made with cream, and premium ice cream can contain as much as 16 percent milk fat (I have to be mindful this one). Frozen yogurt is not made with cream and so does not have a fat requirement; it is made with cultured milk just like natural yogurt though probiotics do not survive the freezing temperatures.

Carbohydrates	31g	38g

Saturated Fat	9g	4g

As can be seen there is very little difference and even more carbohydrates. So making a meal out of frozen yoghurts isn't such a good idea. And its also best to top it with fruits, wheat/oat cereal, nuts, muesli etc. so you can get something good out of it.

In conclusion, remember that natural yoghurt has more benefits than frozen yoghurt.

I will have to curb my froyo craves to once a week or even less. Or stick to my homemade natural yoghurt fruit smoothies. 

Yum!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter / Game of Thrones

It's been a while. I have been good. Happy. Some people even say glowing. I have been miss 'tag-along 'and gone out everyday of the week. Almost. But so busy. 

I might as well enjoy my free nights if I am going to go back to school soon. Speaking of which I want to travel before school or at least get a schengen visa for Europe so I can go to Disney Land in Paris. :)

I haven't written fiction in such a long time. I want to pick it up Again. But you know life happens. 

In commemoration of the four day weekend, Happy Easter. So far it's been full and I hope it will be even more fun filled and relaxing and trying new things with new people. And of course abundant spiritual blessings and graces for me, my loved ones and everyone.

And Easter Monday is greatly more anticipated (I hope that's right) because of the episode after the purple wedding. Game of Thrones! 

Happy.
