Berry and Cakes' Anniversary Date
Hiya!
How's your week going? I hope it's fine. Mine is craaaaaaaaazy busy! It's taking me so long to respond to emails and comments because work is busy as heck! As in, I have little time to play - which is why I need to have a better structure to the blog (more on that next week).
So you know that just 2 weeks ago was our anniversary but I was too sick and tired to actually go out and celebrate it. Cakes wanted us to go out to lunch, but I suggested we get small chops from church and go back home for me to sleep. We agreed to postpone the outing to a later date, and that was this past weekend! I wanted us to go somewhere a little more fancy than our regular dates, so we had dinner at Sky Lounge in Eko Hotel and Suites. I've eaten there a gajillion times with my friends, but Cakes had never been, so it was a nice opportunity for him.

Pink Lace and Silver Wrappings
At the end of the year, one of my closest friends invited me to her introduction. Some of you might remember, Style Fash, one of my Power Puff Girls. She used to have a style blog, and we actually met through blogging. She, Bex (another former style blogger) and I became fast friends. Even though we don't see each other much, whenever we do, it's almost as if we never missed a beat.
Anyway, since it was her introduction, she warned me to come in traditional Nigerian attire. It's as if she knew I would show up wearing a dress. She told me the colors were pink and silver. Luckily, I had a silver wrapper from my father-in-law's funeral, and a pink lace top that I've had for years. When I put the 2 together, they made a pretty good combination.

2016 Word of the Year
I saw a couple of bloggers who wrote about their word of the year. I've never done it before but I think it's nice to have a theme for yourself in different periods. I gave it some thought and I may have a good one. I'll tell you why I've chosen it first, and then tell you what the word is.
Some of the goals I set for myself last year included reading a certain number of books, losing (and keeping off) weight, finally finishing the whole Bible, among other things. I don't need to tell you that I didn't do well at all! And the reason why is because I don't plan and I get distracted easily. Instead of picking up a book, I'd watch Comedy Central. Instead of doing light exercises in the evenings, I'd scroll through Instagram for an hour. Do you see a pattern?
This is why for 2016 I am choosing the word...

Happy New Year!!!
I definitely didn't want to start off the year slacking here, and I'm going to try to commit to posting these Lovely Links every single week. But I might need your help sometimes, so if you read anything interesting during the course of your day that you think should be shared, email the link to me (berrydakara@gmail.com) with the subject: Lovely Links.
Without further ado, here are the first set of links for you to check out. :)
