MY FIRST CROCHET HAIRSTYLE !

I have spent hours on Instagram looking up hashtags like #crochetbraids #crochetlove #crochet just to see all the beautiful hairstyles you can get using the crochet technique. I decided that this is meant to be my next hairstyle and from the look of things, my go-to hairstyle because it looks easy (some people actually do it themselves), if I tired I could do it myself but you know this babygirl ain't got time for that!

6 THINGS SUGABELLY'S STORY TELL US ABOUT RAPE IN NIGERIA

Sugabelly's work

If you've not read Sugabelly's story of Rape then you've not been on twitter, Nigerian twitter to be exact. Sugabelly is a talented artist (illustrator) and blogger at sugabellyrocks.com you should check out her drawings :) 

Although she has mentioned how Audu Abubakar's son's raped her in the past. Lately because of his passing the story was resurrected and it's a good thing it was brought up because it brings to light the many bad things happening in this Nigeria. Shout out to Sugabelly for sharing her story, it takes a lot of courage. Read it HERE

1. VICTIM BLAMING: No matter the situation, the first thing people do is victim blaming which is the number one reason victims don't share their stories. It starts with " What were you doing there?", "why were you wearing a miniskirt", why didn't you have common sense to leave"...comments like that blame the victim and justifies the abuser.

IS THIS ABUSE OR NOT? MAID FANNING MADAM IN SALON

So I saw a video on Facebook yesterday so I shared it on my timeline...that was before it went viral. People have different opinions about what was going on in the video: in this clip a house help (we think she is) is fanning her madam in a salon, madam looks like she's pregnant and the girl was fanning away. Some say househelp didn't look like she was in pain or suffering. The video is for  a few seconds but the lady who recorded it says the girl fanned this woman for over 2 hours. 

Question to you:

Is this Child Abuse? aka modern day slavery ?

OR

Is this woman just being attacked for no reason?

I witnessed this modern day slavery today at a  nail salon. This woman who arrived in a jeep came with this girl who...

RESTAURANT REVIEW : DELTA POT LEKKI!

It's been a long time since I did a restaurant review because I couldn't be bothered to go out much; now going out requires double duty. I have to get myself ready, then get my Tito ready which includes bathing him, breastfeeding him (he rejects the bottle), fighting to comb his hair, packing his diaper bag and praying he isn't crying in his car seat while I'm driving, because if he is...we have to park noni and have some bobbie-time...oh yes! So it's long trying to go out.

13 HILARIOUS TWEETS FROM #HELLOCHALLENGE

I love twitter because of the people in it! It is pure entertainment on days where people are not busy tweet fighting.... I love to follow witty, fun personalities and also check fun Hashtags...for example this #HelloChallenge . If you've not heard Adele's song HELLO then you've been living under a rock....Hello from the outside! LOL. With such a hit song like that, there have been many covers and it's difficult to choose a favourite...

Today we're not talking about the covers but the #HelloChallenge which is basically you trying to chat up an ex or anyone really using the lyrics t Adele's Hello. See hilarious tweets of people who tried. I can't even think of someone I can prank like this LOL . I'm on twitter as Sisi_Yemmie

HAPPY HOUSEWIFE DAY MY FELLOW HOUSEWIVES!

I bet some of you didn't know today was Housewife Day? Imagine that! I almost didn't want to say anything about it but that's typical housewife behaviour...we don't like to take credit for anything *batts lashes* I was also very pre-occupied that I almost forgot. Housewives are busy running the home, thinking about everyone else's welfare before thinking about theirs. 

There was a time I really wanted to be a housewife and I'm so glad I am finally one-Part time! LOL. I get to regulate my schedule, stay home with my baby, work at my convenience (from home) and not bother about what I'm wearing to the office tomorrow.
