I'm Inspired...

Permit me to be a bit condescending here; my siblings and I are creatives, you can say ‘it’s in our DNA – from our Creative God’. So when my brother told me to read ‘Steal like an artist by Austin Kleon’, my interest was illumined, but then again who wouldn’t read a book with that title. *wink* Austin Kleon summed it up as ‘10 things nobody told you about being creative’. The book is about 120 pages, you can probably finish it in hours (if you are fast) but it is thought-provoking, trust me. It is filled with quotes from famous creatives – stuff that ignites your thought process. To be honest, there are so many quotes I want to share, (the book is filled with so many quotes) but that would just be spoiler alert… I’ll only share those that I can’t keep calm but share! This review would probably be more of quotes… ‘There is nothing new under the sun’ -        Ecclesiastes 1:9 Yeah, this one is from the Bible, but it also in the ...

I say this all the time – I am blessed to be female! God knows what He does, always, always! He knows why He made you female or male… Let that sink in… Although, to be candid, there have been a couple to times I wanted to ‘un-woman’ myself: ·          when I heard Beyoncé’s ‘If I were a boy’ ·          when Hilary Clinton lost because ‘women decided not to vote in their numbers’ ·          and obviously when the monthly visitor comes *face palm* Regardless, I still (and will continue to) celebrate my femininity, I couldn’t have it anyway else! This year’s theme is #PressForProgress (sort of like Purpose; the theme for March, we are in sync right? and I didn’t even know this theme till today! Coincidence? Nah!) which is great, we all need to make every effort for progress. There are so many women in the Bible that inspire me, but I have...

We live in world that anything can literally go viral in a split second, literally… Stuff happens every day that sometimes it’s a tad difficult to not be surprised, it’s like people create new stuff every minute! So, I decided to create a list, a list of stuff that has blown my mind so far… And we are just in March! Ama have to update this list by like July… Here you go; in no particular order: ·           Drake’s God’s Plan Official Video: Man! This video is everything; lemme not lie, I shed a tear or two! The video gave me goosebumps, literally! I think it depicts how God; (kind of) the way he was all philanthropist all over the place is just mind boggling! I say... ·          Heritage Bank’s Spoken Poetry Ad: This is just one word - Love!!Love!! Love!!! (okay, may be that’s three words, lol, but you get my drift?!) Probably because I love poetry, that’s why ayam acting like th...

Hey people!  Remember My Amazing Friend She's got more to say! I told you she was amazing! lol. Enjoy!!   THE PHILOSOPHER’S MUSE Who am I? Where did I come from? And where am I going? These kind of existential questions belle the root of all philosophical thinking. The answers to each one however is not always simple and is unique to every individual who must arrive at his answer through deep reflection and profound thought. William Thackeray, a noted literary and intellectual of his time wrote of the smoking pipe, “the pipe draws wisdom from the lips of the philosopher and shuts up the mouth of the foolish; it generates a style of conversation, contemplative, thoughtful, benevolent and unaffected. And even Albert Einstein resonated the thought saying “I believe that pipe smoking contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgment in all human affairs”. What both were implying was the pipe man is the reflective and thinking man. T...

I'm a lover of art. The mere fact of picking up a pen and sketching something amazing always has me in awe. And what's more amazing about Obinna is that he didn't even study this in school, he has a gift! Today's post is on Obinna Omeruo!  Fashion can never go out of fashion (pun intended lol), this however doesn't streamline his designs to fashion only. He's an embodiment of artistic designs. I got curious about what he does so I asked him a couple of questions: *What brought about this idea and in what year? The idea came from a need to express myself but at the same time add value to my surroundings. There was a need and I jumped right in. I would say 2010 because that was the first time I got payed for a project. *I'm sure you've had challenge or two, care to share? Lol! Like all entrepreneurial endeavors especially in Nigeria I face capital funding. *How has the growth been generally? Its been a steady growth which I thank God for. W...

This holiday is usually associated with scary stuff.. So I decided to do a special feature. I'm excited about her and her brand; she's my personal 'persin', my very own make up artist.. P.S: she's a Princess Today's post is on Julie's Streak. I asked her a couple of questions, here is how it went down: *What brought about the idea? I've always been artistically inclined. Started writing and drawing when I was very young. As I got older I got interested in makeup, but I never wanted the mainstream stuff, 'normal' has never been my thing. One day, many years ago I saw a painting of a woman with a cracked skull on the Internet and ideas started pouring into my head. I found a way to stand inbetween the line of make up as a beauty tool and art as a form of makeup.  *What year did you start? I could say I started years ago, but that would be stretching it too far. Let's just say I've been at it 'seriously...

Hi people, My amazing friend Morountodun, (I just love how unique her name is) we've been friends for 12 years and counting (yeah I have to share ) started a website. (Its a big deal, hehe). Since the day I met her, she has never ceased to amaze me, from her very full and long natural hair; had been natural since birth (that was a big deal for me at that time of my life), she hadn't pierced her ear holes (honestly I had not met anyone with no piercing) and it wasn't because of some religious act, and mostly because she was an artist.. Still is. She has drawn me a couple of times. Lol. She also writes.. Amazing stories too.. She has a beautiful mind, heart, personality. Should I continue? Lol. Anyways enough about her, like I said earlier, she has a website. And to create awareness, she has a target of 1000 views and contacts, I'll appreciate it if you go check it out,and share. Its important that you share!! Pretty please . The website is for ev...
