Defining my personal style

Stop trying so hard!

Have you ever thought like this;


-Why am I doing this?

-Why am I getting this pair of shoes?

-Why am I getting this outfit, bag, or shoe?

Have you?

If yes, is your answer like this;

-Because it's trendy

-Because she has it and I don't want to be left out.

-Because I want to be noticed and validated.

-Because everybody does it or has it.


 If yes, then this is for you;

You know what, you are not alone in this but you've got to stop trying so hard. It's not worth it, you deserve better. Stop trying so hard to impress. You jump at every latest thing even at the expense of your convenience. Anything that does not profit you in the long run despite inconveniencing you is not worth it. 

Therefore, learn to be contented. You might want to experience a drastic change be it in your style or you want to be regarded as a fashionable person which is why you resort to different methods that are not profitable but there is a better way to go about it and that is going at your pace #slowfashion. This is something I tried in 2020 on my Instagram page to have my followers as my accountability partner also I can always go back to view for assessment. I posted pictures of my daily outfits to see how my style evolves. Now you might not need to do yours online. You can decide to just have the pictures on your phone for assessment.

When you go at your pace, you would learn more about yourself and be able to distinguish between what is essential for you or not. That way, you would grow better and still profit more instead of running into debts.

You see, you need to be able to take care of yourself first before others. You don't need to run into debts or live above your means just because you want to achieve a goal that is not profitable.

You are worth so much more!

Is this an impossible feat for you? Do let me know in the comment section, let's deal with it together.

Much love,

Faith❤️

Feeding the less privileged is not sustainable?

On the 28th of May 2022, I went along with a non-profit I volunteer for called TEAK Foundations for a charity event at Bariga(Lagos) to celebrate Children's day with the children in the area. Of what use is feeding them just once and for them to be hungry tomorrow "I often thought". It feels like a waste of time. It feels like they are not being helped. I often thought that they should be empowered if they are adults so they can begin to feed themselves and for children, it would be better if a farm or food bank can be created as this would be quite sustainable.  Looking at it from this angle would make you agree with me that charity events are not sustainable but does it make them unnecessary? No, it is still very important and valid. As a non-profit, we might not be able to scrap the daily hunger but we were able to leave them with an unforgettable experience for just that day, we were able to make them not hungry for just that one moment. All it takes for a life to be ...

Feeling unmotivated?

 I love God (so she claims), and I want to live my life solely for God. Yet, she finds herself being indisciplined and doing things that either waste her time or are of no value. Yes, she knows the importance of having a well-structured priority list. She isn't even sure if getting easily distracted is her problem or if she is just confused. She has a vision. She has a goal. She has positive intentions. All of her intentions are for the benefit of mankind. Yet, she finds herself still going in circles and it seems like she isn't growing or going towards the fulfillment of her vision. What would you do if you are here? Or should I say, what would be your best advice to her? My Advice. Honestly, this can happen to anybody it happens to almost everybody including your favorite people. The only reason why you haven't noticed is that they were able to still do the needful despite these things that happens to them. The key here is Self - discipline. I'm usually blown away whe...

IT’S CLOSER TO YOU THAN YOU THINK

  I’m never going to have dreams! Exclaimed by a little girl who was watching the TV with her parents one beautiful afternoon. She was seeing the news report about the result from the just concluded election and the lives that were lost from the whole process. Right there, she made a decision not to be involved in anything that has to do with contributing to the society. She would rather prefer being comfortable in her own house with her family and minding her business. Many youths are like this today. You don’t want to get involved. Everything is now SCAM as it’s popularly called in Nigeria today. We no longer believe anything neither do we want to believe. We’ve come to embrace the mentality of “anything that does not concern me does not concern me” I.e we’ve so much embraced a selfish mentality as long as we have food to eat. The truth is, it isn’t our fault! The dirty stereotype the society has painted in our faces are so green in our memory that we can’t erase it even if we wa...
