THE PALAZZO TREND:1 PANT, 6 STYLES

Hey guys, it's been a long time and I didn't plan for it, from school stress to going to the village for Christmas and dealing with a spoiled phone.... It wasn't easy but I'm back now.
We are going to be slaying this year with new looks and trend and for my first post this year, I'm starting with the popular palazzo pant(my new found favorite).

Happy Christmas and new year FAM, let's do more and 'blow' this year.

Let's get started for today, just like the vintage and denim skirt trend, palazzo pant is a 'comeback' from 60s and 70s, it is a light wide-leg pant which started trending last year and has spread like wild fire.

Personally, I'm in love with them pant, I feel so free, comfy(comfortable) and in a way it makes dressing more interesting.

Here are 6 looks I've put together to inspire/help you style your palazzo pant and if you are not a into it, trust me after seeing them styles, you will totally fall in love.

1. Palazzo pant X oversized white shirt with heels: just as I love palazzo pant, I find myself falling so hard for oversized white shirt, they don't just make you look super interesting but make you comfy.

2. Palazzo pant X blue crop top with heels: I've always love crop tops and to think that they go 'hand in hand' with palazzo, I totally love the combo(combination).

3. Palazzo X black chiffon shirt with sandal: I decided to go really simple on this look and look how nice it is.

4. Palazzo X white polo with flat white shoe:

I think this is my favorite look, I can't stop admiring myself in this.

5. Palazzo X black bra top and denim jacket with boot: denim jack and palazzo is a must have, love how lovely the pieces merged.

6. Palazzo X off shoulder top with boot: this came out simple but interesting.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE A BEE STING

good morning cuties, trust you had a wonderful weekend like i did

On saturday, I was stung by a bee for the first time in my life. A friend of mine hung her shirt in the line and before we knew it bees were everywhere around it so everyone was scared to get closer not to talk of carrying the shirt from the line. When I saw all of them screaming, I was like common bee, y'all are shouting, what if it's a snake?

In my quest for the position of 'HEROINE' I majestically walked down the stairs, went to the line where the shirt was (truth is, I wasn't really scared), stared at the bees, then attempted to remove the shirt, 'BOOM' the whole thing got scattered and started coming after me. I guess I was shocked cause I heard a voice shouting "RUN". I started running but unlunkily for me, your heroine got served - a hot sting(by only one bee). It wasn't really painful, twas just hot, too bad, i didn't know what to do, i had to do a little research so you won't be in my shoes.

This will help you render a home treatment to yourself, a friend or anyone if they get a bee sting, all you have to do is

* Remove the bee stinger ~ this can be done by using your finger nails to scrape out the stinger from the 'sting site'
* wash the site with soap and water for sterilization
* then apply either one of the following

1. Honey
2. Toothpaste ~ I prefer closeup
3. Aloe vera
OR
4. Ice
You might want to take pain reliever as it would reduce the pain.

N/B: It will itch you, don't fall for it cause it will only get worst, if the pain persist after all these then go see a doctor.

THE ANTIDOTE TO SELF DOUBT

I don't know how to write - well ofcos that's what i use to say to myself, i felt ashamed each time I try to sketch out words from my feelings, i did stop writing but know this, the only way to improve is writing.

FORGIVE MY MANNERS, IT'S BEEN A WHILE DEARIES
HOW ARE YOU?
HOW IS THE OUTER WORLD? I GUESS IT'S CRUEL AS ALWAYS BUT WE HAVE TO HOLD ON

During my small little break I learnt something, something I've always known but never practiced, something that works like magic, it's cures self doubt faster than and drugs, if it continuously taken - inasmuch as you need is, don't take overdose, it might develop to a bigger problem.

On one of cassie daves posts on instagram, she talked about her insecurity and asked to share ours, I had to let someone hear my heart cry and so I on the comment section told her, "I love writing but I don't think i can, her reply, is one of the reasons I am typing this today.

oh, no you should totally write if you love writing, I found out that gassing myself makes me feel a lot better..

i started to gas myself and gassing myself has made me realize that I can do better, gassing has been my antidote and I'm pretty sure you can do a lot more if you start gassing yourself instead of beating yourself for your imperfection which is humane.

BONUS TIP
practice gassing everyday, you could talk or write short notes to yourself - who says it can be long, it's your choice anyways.

how do you deal with self doubt?
have ever gassed yourself? then how do you do it?

ME LATELY ||| NOT THE USUAL PHIYAH

this Outfit was inspired by cassieDaves - a blogger I admire so much
Outfit: print shirt X plain red skirt on a flat shoe

Lately, life has been throwing different shades at me, the worst part is I can't even explain it, I've been really depressed and  tired, yesterday I couldn't continue, I broke down and almost gave up but then I thought about the reason I started, I'm not the type easily give up, I told myself I'm the best and I can't stop now, I'm not what they say I am, I'm going to work for my own name.

I thought about you guys and couldn't get myself to agree to closing down this blog so here I am again punching my keyboard, I know it's been a while and I'm sorry I did leave but I'm back now.

HOPE YOU GUYS ARE FINE?

Amidst all these things I found a way to be happy, so here is what I've been up to lately

1. CREATING FRIENDSHIP: I didn't have much friends before I came to the hostel but now, I think it's completely the opposite, I don't just have ordinary friends, I've friends that are worth having, friend that have supported me so far in little ways the can and I appreciate that.

 Vera is a perfect friend, she has been supporting and advising me in everything, she's always keeping in touch and encouraging me no matter how far we are. Thank you Vera.

They are not just four - I'll take all your time if I want to introduce you to all my new found love ones so let's skip for now.

2. THRIFTING: I use to be ashamed of thrifting but reading a lot on it, I've come to realize that there's nothing to be ashamed of, Thrifting is now my thing and i can't get enough - especially when I'm with Dawnslyn.

See some clothes I got from thrifting and how good I looked on them
