Live everyday like it where your last

Hey readers,
 Hope you all had an amazing christmas this year..... I had a low-key christmas this year but all the same i enjoyed the essence of the day.. As the year gradually rolls to an end i cant help but notice a couple of people trying to amend their relationships with people which i believe is an obvious sign that 2013 is almost over.  A friend of mine recently came to a weird decision to cut off a lot of people from her life because she describes them as "Future Eaters" which according to her are people who are preventing you from progressing as an African child Nigerian to be precise i totally understand her spirituality but then i asked if she was doing the right things to ensure her future was secure and she began to think about it and she realized she was not in check. we had a good laugh over it but i told her stop blaming your failures on other people.
A popular behaviour among Africans is to blame their problems on other people claiming they have been held down in their villages or by their enemies. As an African i wont deny the fact that these things do exist but what i find disturbing is relating every activity in your life to charms or voodoo. People go as far as relating a simple flu to charms and voodoo which is not necessary..
This post was supposed to up since but i kind of forgot to put it up but here it is enjoy and Happy New Year!!!

Merry Christmas

Hey Readers,
     Its been a long while a wrote something on the post but my exams have gotten the better part of me but not to worry i'll be done early next week. These few weeks have been full of mixed feelings, the joys of coming to the end of another amazing year and the pains of losing important people this year. It started with Hollywood actor Paul walker which came to everyone  as a shock.. and then the greatest shock of them Nelson Madiba Mandela answered the call to eternal glory... I still cant believe all of this took place within this short period.
   At this juncture, i think we should all be taking time off to recount the numerous things God has done for us if you can not find anything to be grateful for be grateful for the fact that you are among the people alive today. Turn up for Jesus this season he is the reason for the season guys.
   Its been a long and exciting year and am definitely grateful for a lot of things people cant put them all here but the LORD has been good that  what i can sincerely say. I also just saw The Best Man Holiday and i must say that movie has officially started my christmas thats one of the reasons i waited this long to see it, if you have not seen it please do and on a lighter note MERRY CHRISTMAS and remember to say safe during these festive season.
  Love,
  Vanessa

missing in action

Hey Readers,
    Hello beautiful people hope you have had a splendid week and are getting some good rest this weekend and for my people in America hope it was a blissful thanksgiving and you had a nice time shopping this black friday?.
  I have had a very eventful week i most confess but excitingly the semester is over and i sit and wonder how fast this phase of my life is going to move and before i know it am done with school (yaay) but all the same we must face the battle at hand. My daddykins also got promoted Gods prayers do work people trust in him, he has worked for me and he definitely will for you all. i also got my hair done and i must say i am loving every bit of it

WORK!!! WORK !!!!! BUT REMAIN FOCUSED

Hey Readers/ followers
  Am really sorry i have been MIA. Got so caught up with school work and my final exams are fast approaching and because of that i have to intensify my study efforts lol remain focused. It's been a very exciting week with ups and downs but we will survive. Living downtown makes my life feel so busy but the joy about Ottawa is the great feeling that christmas is around the corner and am excited about celebrating the birth of christ but unfortunately my 2nd christmas without family(SAD) but on the bright side i get a turkey meal.....
 I realized that as we try to keep up with peoples expectations for us, social media, friends, fashion trends and all the things of life we forget why we where created, we forget that we are accountable to one person and we are living life to please him. i know it can be really hard to go through your daily activities and still remember that we have obligations we owe our God like taking a minute from our busy schedule to say a word of prayer when we wake up and before we go to bed, we also owe him that holy day called sunday but some of us still keep it to ourselves i wonder what for.........i think the key here is remain focused and remember that at the end of the day we are giving account to him and no one else. Also bear in mind that all the earthly possessions are all vanity and cannot take us to eternity.
On a lighter mode God loves us all so whenever we fall back on him he is ready to take us back. i had an amazing weekend with my friend Hodan at her birthday and here are some pictures. I had Pina colada and i loved it
Have a FAB week dolls

FAITH HAS A FASHION SENSE !!!!!!

Hey Readers,
 I hope everyone is a having a fabulous day and you enjoyed yesterdays post. Am sure you guys are wondering how faith has a fashion sense but lets see what i mean by that.
I love to look good where ever i go and that is a known fact but then i have my faith which gives me direction on how to live and what to live by, we all have that thing that we live by some may choose to call it principles but i call mine FAITH.
I hear a lot of people say as a christian you are not entitled to look good but then i do not see the conflict between faith and fashion because i think you can still love your God and still look FABULOUS.
i have heard people teach that as a christian make up,hair extensions, jewellery and ear piercings make us ungodly. people out there are still confused about this but ti believe God also likes good things don't you? and there can be a bridge between fashion and faith.
Women by nature are very cautious about the way they look in public and they always want to stand out but the big question is can a woman of faith have good fashion and i will say YES!!!!
i have found away of merging these two different people. the first step is by understanding that it is perfectly okay to be bright and beautiful because God is.
Secondly i have discovered that you have to use your conscience and principles of your faith to guide your dressing. i have always lived by the slogan "Because it is in vogue doesn't mean it is meant for you".  God does not want us attracting negative energy towards us but rather positive energy,  bearing in ind that we can still be classy and work in line with God's will for us.
I appreciate people and religions that promote a balanced view towards out ward appearance. I believe that simplicity is the key, don't be to dressy, rigid or provocative but be decent and orderly. We ought to be fashionable and presentable but not to much that we forget to concentrate on our inner beauty as it is the most important. striking a balance between your inner beauty and outer beauty should be the key.
As ladies dressing,hygiene and personal grooming are very important but believe me your inner beauty shines and stands you out. Faith dwells on inner beauty and fashion outer beauty.
I love to see fashionable women around me but i dislike extreme fashion which comprises of skimpy clothes, excessive makeup and ornaments, tattoos and extreme piercings they are against my faith. provocation in appearance is unnecessary baggage that no one wants to be carrying. so we most strive to create that balance between inner beauty and outer beauty and we will realise that indeed faith has a fashion sense...... :)
 Hope you all enjoyed the post i must state that this idea was gotten from a post on bellanaija.com so feel free to check it out HERE and yes am still trying to create my own balance and find what suits me as a plus size lady with faith..... Have a good day everyone and remember to move a round with a positive spirit
  LOve,
