When Life Gives You Lemonade…02.18

Here’s a loose retelling of events that occurred in the month of February 2018.

Hi there,

Welcome to the month of March. We’re 8 days in but it’s never too late to say welcome. Trust we’ve been good?

I apologize for the unintentional hiatus. Did anyone even notice my absence?

Anyway, I’ve decided to pop in real quick just to confirm I’m still alive and interested in my readers.

What went down in February 2018?

Here’s a brief life recap;

Albeit, February has 28 days it pretty much dragged. I had a pretty basic month if you ask me.

Eat, Sleep, Blog, Repeat that was definitely the motto.

I managed to drag myself out to Social Media Week #Smwlagos2018  even though it was just for a day but I’m glad I did. Mingling with fellow Content creators, the interactive sessions and of course relaxing ambience made it all worth it.

If you reside in Lagos and are a Social Media enthusiast yet you couldn’t make it to Social Media Week Lagos 2018 you should totally start making plans for next year’s.

Follow them on Instagram @smwlagos for updates and other related stuff.

Trust me it’s a worthwhile event! This is not just hype.

My favourite session of the day was the one organized by #AboutThatCurvyLife. The speakers touched on Body Shaming and how it is rapidly increasing on Social Media.

Our speakeasy at #smwlagos yesterday was a massive success! Thank you to every single attendee who came through and left a little wiser and hopefully a more in love with their body. The conversation on Social Media, Body Image & Confidence was interactive and engaging. We know there’s hope for this generation because they too want positive change and it all starts with us as individuals. Remember… . . We are not posts, we are people!” . “Social media is wonderful, useful and powerful but with great power comes great responsibility. Use it wisely because someone’s body image could be impacted forever by your words.” #aboutthatcurvylife #smwspeakeasy #bodyconfidence #selflove #socialmedia

Major lesson learnt – Love your body as it is, don’t let what some random person on the internet says about your God-given body get you down or make you feel insecure.

In the month of February, I also binged watch all 10 episodes of  “Everything Sucks” – a Netflix TV series set in the 90s. If you love the 90s or just searching for an interesting drama series this is definitely for you.

There’s also a ton of 90s Style Inspiration for the one who loves Vintage fashion.

I fell ill and had an emotional relapse. Your girl’s been struggling ever since. There’s a ton of posts in my drafts waiting to be published but Y’all gotta bear with me.

Life Lately February 2018

 

You never realize the value of being healthy until you fall ill. Take care of yourself guys, never put your health at risk to please others.

Nevertheless, here’s what to expect in March 2018;

• A budget-friendly (oily) skincare routine post.
• Spring Style Inspiration (It’s spring in some parts of the world so why not?)
• A Beauty Tag Post
• How to Create Amazing Instagram Stories

Let me know which of these posts you’ll like to read soon.

Life threw me some Lemonade and I’m hoping to make Cranberry juice out of it.

Don’t ask me how just watch and see.

Here’s to Living, Learning and Loving.

Until next time (Hopefully soon),
