Blushes nd Brushes

Hello people. How was your weekend? Mine was quite fabulous. I had a great time in church yesterday and later that evening was nice cause “God Colours” had her first link up and I was just grateful to God.

Please who watched The Voice NG yesterday and wanted to cry like me? The results were so unpredictable. Nigerian Twitter had me in tears about the finale. In all honesty after they kicked out Wilson and Precious the week before I had all my hopes on Jahtel. Girl can singgg. Then she didn’t make it. Frankly the show ended there for me. I was low Key rooting for Wow though. When he came fourth... In fact lets just move on.

So new week and here’s my #MondayMotivation.

I really had no idea what to post on here this morning but as I was scrolling down IG I got inspired.

There’s a saying that goes “show me your friend and I’d tell you who you are”, which holds true to this day no matter how much you want to argue it. An inspiring young lady in my life (Nicole Egbogu) once said “you are the average of the 3 people closest to you.” That stuck with me (assuming I got the number right cause I’m not sure). Another saying goes “be careful the company You keep”, true statement.
A lot of emphasis is placed on the people we surround ourselves with because they are huge influences in our lives. They determine a lot about who we are. You can always see the people around you in yourself. You probably learn catch phrases off them, have a similar sense of humour, and even closely related values. They play a big role in your life.

Today we have the opportunity of having so many people in our lives asides our inner circle, and we spend a lot of time with these people. Who are these people you may ask? Well, they are the ones filling up your internet space. Your Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Pinterest, etc. We can agree a lot of us spend lots of time with these people. Reading and commenting on their opinions, viewing their pictures, updates and whatnot, allowing them to feed our minds.

I wonder how many of us are conscious of the people we surround ourselves with online.
Few years back I chose to be very deliberate about my internet space. The people I follow, the content I read. I knew what I wanted my life to be like, what I wanted to be reminded of on a daily basis and I streamlined my social media accordingly. You can easily tell what I like by my Instagram feed. I know lots of us follow many people because we are acquaintances in real life and it’s like the “proper” thing to do, and we can't control what they post. Well, let me leave that matter, but many of us follow unnecessary pages and accounts that just feed us with rubbish. A while back there was a blog I followed religiously. At first I did it because the blogger posted amazing, well written stories that had me in tears from laughter but as time progressed it slowly became a gossip site. For one that loves gist like me at first it was nice, I felt like oh wow, I get to be in the know of things, but soon I realised that all that gossip was not adding anything valuable to my life, I also knew with time all these things will begin to influence my views. Bottom line, it had to go, and it did.

I try my best to filter what makes it’s way to my internet space cause it influences my life. If I’m looking for motivation I follow pages that will motivate me, if I’m looking for inspiration I follow accounts that give what I’m looking for, if I want to avoid certain things I avoid them on social media too.

Point is your internet space plays a big part in your life so be deliberate about it. You control what you let in your personal space.

Like I previously quoted, “be careful the company you keep”.

Have a wonderful week people...










Do not be misled. Bad company corrupts good character.

Hello... hope we all had wonderful weekends? My city was a bit tensed due to an uprising that happened in town. So if you’re reading this please pray for peace and unity in Nigeria.

I have been thinking all day about what to write to describe this amazing human right here on her 22nd birthday.Since words are not enough to explain the ingredients in this awesome sauce known as Patsy, I just want to say thank you to her.





Thank you for being my sister and closest friend. We have our differences but like family, we still ride for each other through everything.

Thank you for dealing with my excesses and for being my business partner.



Thank you for always having the hottest gist lol. Thank you for the late night and sometimes midday conversations about the weirdest things, our future and how our kids have to marry each other.



Thank you for following Mummy to Jalingo for that programme a month ago. You will never know how much it meant to me that you stayed over at my place.

Thank you for being a Fashionista. You are a slayer both physically and spiritually lol (demon slayer).






Thank you for letting God use you as His light to bring out the God-colors in the world. You are an inspiration to so many through your walk with Christ, myself included.



Thank you for being so talented with your hands. Now I don't need no other hair stylist, tailor, decorator, event organizer, etc.

Thank you for trying out new foods with me.

My favorite picture of us




Thank you for all the sacrifices you make for everyone else, God sees what the righteous does in secret and rewards them publicly.




Thank you for being you, you made me fall in love with me.




Thank you for all the reasons I cannot mention on this post. As you said, we got that David and Jonathan type of bond.




God bless you for me Kenosi, I love you. Happy 22nd birthday 💜
