Hey guys,
I hope you've had a better week than I have. But what I have to remember is that no matter what I'm going through, because God is right beside me, I will not be shaken (Psalm 16:8 is what I've been meditating on the past 2 days). Anyways, yay to links! I think they should be light ones, nothing too heavy this week.

Blogging in Nigeria
Today I want to share my responses to the Blogging in Nigeria tag. I started blogging a few years ago and it's been a fun, and sometimes challenging ride. Being a Lifestyle blogger in Nigeria is interesting and even though there's an external push sometimes to go in the gossip and entertainment niche, that is simply not my style. In this video, I share my thoughts as a blogger in Nigeria and I hope you find it insightful.
The questions are:
1. Name of your blog.
2. Why did you start blogging?
3. Are you a full time blogger?
4. What do you know now that you wish you knew then?
5. Challenges of blogging in Nigeria (hint: guess how long it took to upload my video?)
6. How much was your first paid ad/ anything?
7. How is the Nigerian blogosphere?
8. What’s your family’s response to you blogging knowing the Nigerian culture with staple jobs?
9. Message to Nigerian brands.
10. Plans for your blog.
11. Perks of blogging in Nigeria.
12. Do you think blogging should be a career path?
13. What do you hope for the future of blogging in Nigeria?
14. Have you ever been copy righted/stolen from someone?
15. Do you feel fulfilled blogging?
This tag was created by Sisi Yemmie and Tosin Alabi (Africanism Cosmpolitan) - all vloggers and bloggers in Nigeria are encouraged to share their answers.
Enjoy the video, and please subscribe (and like it on Youtube) and share it on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

#My2016Goals Workshop is coming February 6th
Ladies!
If you read my blog last year, you know that I attended a series of events (here and here) created by Glory Edozien, who runs the Inspired by Glory brand. The brand also produces a regular vlog series, The Inspire Series, which is aimed at encouraging women to live, love, pray and be inspired!
Glory is back with a new event aimed at personal development, goal setting AND actualization for women. I'm proud to be a media partner for the event and I think it's a great opportunity for any woman who's looking to progress in 2016.
And now I introduce #My2016Goals - Strategizing for Success!
Every year we make resolutions,
set goals, targets and hope we achieve our dreams. For most of us, by March
some of these goals are either forgotten or seem beyond our reach. The
truth is, sometimes, life gets in the way. Old habits return, we get weighed down
by over ambitious goals, lack proper planning and time management skills, lack
self confidence and motivation or simply give up too easily. To make matters
worse, almost every news pundit is suggesting that 2016 will be a tough year for
the economy.
How can we
position our personal lives, careers, businesses to succeed in tough economic
times? How can we set realistic but ambitious goals for 2016? What strategies
for success can we imbibe? How can we empower ourselves financially to meet our
goals? How can we ensure we stay focused on achieving our goals throughout
2016?
Why the #My2016Goals
Workshop?
The objective of the #My2016Goals Workshop
is to ensure attendees set realistic, targeted and ambitious goals, while also
ensuring that they have the tools to remain focused on actualisation throughout
2016.
At the end of the event each woman
will have a set of realistic goals, a personal vision board, tools for tracking
and monitoring progress, an understanding of the role of finance in realising
her goals, and much more!
The event will feature amazing
speakers, with tried, tested and trusted strategies for achieving set ambitions
and targets. Speakers include
- Stephanie Obi - Business Coach who will be helping workshop participants to create their personal vision boards and teaching on how to stay focused on achieving your goals no matter how ambitious they seem.
- Omilola Oshikoya-
Africa’s Premier Wealth Coach who
will be speaking on how to finance your dreams and visions as well as
important financial goals to set during tough economic times

- Glory Edozien- Founder
Inspired by Glory who will be speaking on how self love
can help you achieve your goals

Who is the #My2016Goals
Workshop for?
The
#My2016Goals Workshop is for women who are passionate about personal
development and want to succeed in 2016.
It is for women who want to learn how to stay
focused on achieving their goals no matter how big they are, women who want to
learn important financial goals to set during tough economic times and how to
finance their dreams. The event is also for women who want to learn how to move
past self doubt and become better managers of their money.

Boyfriend Shirt - Naija Style
Yo yo!
I've got a Style post today, and I know the title says "Boyfriend Shirt" but technically it's Hubby's shirt. And it's not the typical Boyfriend's shirt you're used to seeing in fashion magazines. I brought it home - Naija style.
I can't remember what made me decide to try on one of Cakes' shirts one day. He wasn't at home, and maybe I felt like shopping or wearing something new, and I found myself in his section of the closet. This was the first thing that grabbed my attention, and when I put it on, it kinda made sense! All I needed to do now was try to convince him to let me wear it. I didn't really have a plan, but I waited for a random Sunday to ask him. To my surprise he said he didn't even want it anymore and I could have it for keeps! Yay me!

REVIEW - Sky Restaurant at Eko Hotels and Suites
Hiya!!!
How was everyone's weekend? I hope you had fun, rested, relaxed, or did whatever you wanted to do. Cakes and I had guests over on Saturday - they were originally supposed to come at 2 and ended up coming at 5. As in, I was too hungry to wait for them so I started eating before they came :p Anyways, we had a nice time hosting and I wish I did more of it last year. Ah well. We also shot a video (yes, me and Cakes so stay tuned for it in a week or two).
You already know that for our Anniversary Date, I wanted Cakes and I to go somewhere fancy. That somewhere fancy happened to be Sky Lounge at Eko Hotels and Suites. Like I mentioned, I'd been there several times and it was Cakes' first time. This is the review I promised back then. Erm, if you're hungry go and eat first, then come back and read.
