Big News Chit Chat

Hiya!

I'm counting down to the big move! It's been a stressful and overwhelming last two weeks and even though I have been a little anxious regarding the move, the recent stress has been almost maddening and I'm ready to just go and sleep for one week!

Anyways I was reminded to answer a few questions around our decision and I filmed a video over the weekend just for you!

I hope I answered the questions well. I do plan on having a mini hangout on March 6th, which is on Sunday. Send an email if you're interested in coming :)

Follow me on Snapchat this week as I say my final goodbyes across Nigeria and I finally get to visit Calabar. My handle is @BerryDakara

10 Things I learned from the She Leads Africa Webinar with Stephanie Obi

I've posted a few of Stephanie Obi's posts in my Lovely Links. Anyone who follows her knows that she is one of the top Online Business Coaches in Nigeria. When She Leads Africa announced that there would be a webinar featuring Stephanie, I quickly accepted and shared the invitation link. It was titled "How to Start and Online Business." These are some of the notes I took. They might be a little jumbled up, and I might have missed a few things (no thanks to my internet connection), but I think there were great nuggets of wisdom that I just had to share.

BTS - The Blogging Process

Blogging seems easy doesn't it? It's just a matter of writing a few hundred (or even less than 100) words, taking a few photographs, and then putting up a post for the audience to read, right? WRONG! Fellow bloggers will understand this post, and dare I say, will nod along in agreement. I thought I'd share some of the Behind-The-Scenes of Blogging to give you guys a little insight into the amount of work that can go into what seems like a very simple blog post.

Berry Lovely Links

Hi everyone!

It's been a seemingly busy week, aye?! I'm sooooooooo glad it's weekend and I think I'd like to rest, but packing might be a better idea. I wish someone could come and pack for me - I'd be willing to pay, honestly.

Anyways, here are today's Lovely Links for you to check out. :)

Teal Gele and Pink Lace

Hola!

I'm slowly counting down, re: my big news from yesterday. Because of the changes coming very soon, it's making me a little nostalgic for having custom-made outfits courtesy of Nigerian tailors. In the States, having a simple ankara dress made for you can run from $80 and above. Seriously, take a look at some designers that sell ankara clothes abroad, and you'll see a simple pencil skirt for $100 +! Having tailors at cheaper prices here is something that I'll definitely miss.

Anyways, before the tears start, let's go ahead with this post. Over the weekend, Cakes' friend got married and the pink lace asoebi came with a teal gele. As I mentioned in this post, I don't like to wear geles, so I asked my tailor to turn it into a top.
