So i decide to participate in a 30 days challenge about writing.

I have never committed to doing something of this nature and i’m super excited and kinda nervous.

But oh well. Here it goes.

Day 1.

The 10 things that really make me happy.

First of, this is in no particular order.

1) God's grace.
I'm not going to be extra here. Its amazing. I am a product of grace. I'm aware. I cannot explain it and often times i feel overwhelmed. I feel like i don't deserve so much Love from God, coz your girl is a sinner😭. But hey, my Big Daddy Still cares, He's always there giving me pleasant surprises.


2) My family

Lol, we are a bunch of weirdo's. People that know me well say that i talk funny, well, you might not know, but i consider myself the least weird out of my family members. They act funny, talk funny and creep me out with their thought patterns. But i love them sooo damn much. Even when i threaten to block them or ignore them, i cannot. They are thoughtful, supportive ,loving and so blunt! Everyone in my house has sharp mouth. We deserve our own reality TV show. I'm super positive it will be a HIT!.


3) C.I.T.A
Clem, Ife, Toyosi and Ann. The bunch of people who have made my days in OAU so much fun. I'm in love with these silly goons of mine and when they are not annoying me and acting stupid, i thank God for bringing them my way. On some days i just want to disassociate myself from them. They can be so embarrassing and petty! They things they say ehnnn...but yo! You cannot get a better support system. They will pray for me, donate money if i cry enough about being broke and sometimes allow me to plunder their provisons and food😂😂😂. They also have all my secrets in the palm of their hands. I'll have to make sure we're on good terms when i decide to via for any political position oh😂.


4)Makeup; The art.

See, makeup for me was not about the money initially. It was about the creativity that was unleashed everytime i picked up a brush. It was about the smile i can bring to somebody's daughters face just by a few swipes and strokes. Makeup is my baby! Its my love. Its one thing i never complain about doing. Its the only thing that can make me wake up by 3am with sweaty palms and maximum anxiety/joy. Makeup makes me happy. I cannot even hide it. Now its about the joy of creating, making people smile and YES! THE MONEY. Coz smiles are not going to pay my bills, neither are they an acceptable legal tender😁


5)MONEY

Do i need to explain this? Money makes me happy. Sometimes i don't have money and i'm still happy because i have a source, a legal source of income. And money will always flow in. I dont love money per say. I actually love what money can do for me. Money can give me the finer things of life. Money can prevent unnecessary insults and harassment. Money can give me a sense of security. I don't know sha, i sha like money and it makes me happy! Period!!!


6)FOOD! GOOD FOOD.
Lord knows i love food. Especially good food. Like food that was prepared with an intention to bless the stomach, not malicious rush rush concoctions oh.
I love good food. Well plated food. It makes me happy. I can look at it and take pictures of it for 20 minutes before even diving in. I'm so giddy with pleasure whenever i see such food. Especially if i have been craving it for awhile. Yes , i have cravings. Right now i cannot stop thinking about the egg and sausage i saw on Pumpkins status. May God forgive my greedy stomach.


7) NEW MAKEUP PRODUCTS
sorry guys, new makeup products make me so happy. I love seeing them and testing them out!
I specified 'new' oh.So you understand my problem now. New products are being released on a regular basis now! Its like, so cray cray. I cannot keep up again sef. The beauty industry is growing so fast. Even my bank account can't understand. My account cannot continue in this toxic relationship. So i'm trying to stop buying. Especially lashes! Ha!!!! I will have 2k left in my account and still be eyeing one 4k mink lashes on Instagram.


8) RANDOM GIFTS
Seriously tho! Buy me random gifts. Its very very joy stimulating. My love language is gifting. I love giving people stuff. Like, its nothing to me. Random gifts make me happy. Not just random though, birthday gifts, house warming gifts, "congrats on completing your exam"gifts, congrats on passing your exam gifts. Etc. I’m not kidding😂


9) Surfing Pininterest, Instagram and twitter!!!


10) Sleeping, Reading novels and watching Nickelodeon
