Women are from Venus and men are from a planet unknown

I started out writing a post about a young lady I saw in a video on Facebook who was telling her story of being with a man for 10 years, he was never "ready" for marriage. She left him and he gets married within a year. She was obviously crushed and her whole life and self confidence crumbled right before her eyes. I was thinking how did she miss the signs? How did she become blind to his bluff? How did this happen to her for so long and she didn't have the guts to end it earlier. Then Kevin Hart happens ?. As I mentioned before, I love celebrity news and all, nothing passes me by but that's not what my blog is about so I never focus on that. Today my lovelies I have a thing or two to say so why don't you sit back and relax because this is a fast and bumpy ride ???.

Celebrity MEN and their infidelities is nothing new, it's so normal that saintly men like Steph Curry are like rare cuts of 55 carat pink diamonds, hard to find and impossible to purchase. Many many celebrities A list to Z list have have had scandals. Snoops wife once said she had to phone women she knew were side chics to find out when her husband was coming home after being absent for weeks on end. Tiger Wood, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Jay-Z, Tony Parker, Arny Schwarzenegger and even Marilyn Manson cheated, yes he did, this nicca cheated on Dita Von Teese. This person

Cheated on Dita yano?

These stories touch and affect us differently. The varying impact celebrity cheating scandals have on us mere mortals is based on who is being cheated on. When Beyonce sang about a so called Becky that Jay cheated on her with, my first reaction was "where Becky at? I want to fight that b*tch, I want to snatch her edges so bad that Bey would change the lyrics to her song to "Becky with the Mohawk ". Gurl, I was mad, I didn't want to hear that Jay-Z's stupid voice with his baby duck like laughter. Bey and I were in this together and we were going to ride the storm no matter what ?. Another one I felt angry about was Common and Serena Williams, I was so happy when she bagged herself a new man "chop knuckle ", you did well sis, I have seen Alex Ohanian and if he does anything to hurt ma boo, I know I can take him, I have a bottle and I am not afraid to use it (after I have drank the contents ofcourse).

While the victims usually women try to heal and cope, it seems like the men are out there profiteering from their infidelities in the form of tours and hit albums carrying on with their lives. If you wanna leave then do that, there is someone in the wings to take your space like the way Eniko (former instigator and current victim ) slid into Wife position after being side piece for years. How do we not learn as women please. This doesn't fail to happen, you will go out the same way you came in.

But women out there healing like wolverine because your man is famous or rich, good on you, you know your priorities and you know what you want in life. Those of you taking this from broke men, you will surely make heaven because you have a heart of gold, you are a direct disciple of the Lawd and your mansion awaits you in heaven ?.

Everyone for their own. I hope we have the strength and wisdom to handle such cases if it falls on our laps.

My face when someone says “red is your colour”

The compliments kept coming during this shoot and my strides became longer, bolder, more confident like a Lagos London commercial flight full of people who knew what they wanted in life, the opportunity to spend money and boost the UK economy. "Red is definitely your colour" "You look so good in red" "You look like you are going somewhere, please take me there" I allowed these kind words bathe my mind and hours later found myself on the oasis of online fashion (Asos) with my search results looking like....

My new mantra RED = PAWA.

Since this post coincides with the American mothers day, I am going to make this post about working mothers who many times are running a business too. You need to wear red every damn day with a Cape that says "SUPERMAN WHO?" (Can he even multi task ?)

Mother's, you are awesome

You are ENOUGH!

You are doing a GOOD JOB!

You are STRONG

You are ABLE

You are a WARRIOR

Please take out time to appreciate yourself daily. Buy yourself a gift and pat yourself on the back because mama, you are magical. Outfit deets Jumpsuit: Boohoo here Hat: TK sale here Earrings: Etsy here Until next time ☺.

The “free” item that will change your wardrobe

Happy Monday guys. This week I am full of hope and aspirations. I have done my "to do" list for the week, my haka dance has been completed (in private) and I am good to go.

Before I get into the ootd, I will like to give you the gist of how I embarrassed myself at the gym last week ?. Here we go. I got back from school run one faithful morning and decided to go straight to the gym. While wrestling with the decision of what point to take off my wig through out the entire trip, I decided I will do it slyly in the car once I park up at the gym just to avoid changing room palaver.

So that's what I did. Took it off so fast that superman himself with his laser vision wouldn't have noticed. Put on my sunglasses and bounced into the gym. I was feeling good, about to get my workout on, murder some fat cells, pump some iron.

So my routine began: Stair climber - 15 minutes, lateral ski master - 20 minutes and then to the floor exercise, I was about to flex muscles and show them who is boss. Half way through my routine I catch some stares but I am all good, I can deadlift 60kg don’t y’all worry about my slender self ?, slim fit init ?. I am strolling past the muscle mirror when was forced to take a double look, I almost fainted!!!! body and spirit collapsed in perfect sync ?. Father take control of this situation.

Ladies and gentlemen my wig cap was still on my head the whole damn time, I cried out to the Lord, whyyyyyyy!!!! Why do bad things happen to good pipo ?. I was mortified, to everyone else I was wearing tights on my head like a crazy person. I was crazy and they knew it guys.

So damage control mode activated after some hot tears of humiliation and cries of anguish. What do I do now, do I take it off before more people see me or do I style it out? Style it out it was because Warri cannot what? carry last.

So I got me some kettle bells, took my wig cap off, wore it on my palm and started lifting the kettle bells. Wig cap turned kettle bells gloves ?, dass how we roll up in hurr. That was my story y'all. No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper, my village pipo did not win this one.

Now that you have all laughed at my expense and I have entertained you this Monday morning. Let me say a thing or two about my outfit. White shirt: FREE, stolen from my husbands closet. Trust me to take the most expensive crisp one. This is mine now, he has about one million of these so boy bye ?. Distressed jeans shorts: Primark £12 I have loved these knee length jeans since I saw them on Kim K. My baby boy needs no introductions *flicks hair*

That's all from me guys. Until next time.

DIY your own sock boots

I saw the designer sock boots first on the Kardashian's, I think they were Kanyes brand and they cost something ridiculous like $600. I was like e mi keh, I can't buy such things, God forbid bad thing ???.Lo and behold I started seeing DIY versions on instagram, that's when I realised that really and truly Warri cannot carry last. I did my research and here is what you need 1. A thick pair of sports socks from here

2. Non slip shoe pads- from here

3. A pair of pointy court shoes from your wardrobe Step 1 Put the socks over the heels completely

Step 2 Cut a hole where the heel is. Make sure the hole is very small, the sock is stretchy and will expand for the heel to come through Step 3 When happy with the positioning of the sock, peel the back of the shoe pads and stick it on the sock under the shoe. Dass all You have spent £5 and saved a tonne of money. Thank me later ?. see my look below.

These socks all from forever 21 are and will surely be my next projects.

Until another time buttercups. Dont forget to tag me on your projects.

The hustle of London Fashion Week

I went to LFW expecting to shoot and kinda put trends together for my readers. As fashion week progressed, I went from thinking I would blog about "my experience of fashion week" to "trends of fashion week" and finally to " The hustle of London Fashion Week". The latter seemed to be something that became more prevalent when the novelty of fashion week disappeared. Fashion week is one massive business card, bloggers trying to get noticed, photographers scanning and rating people before they even point a lens at them, security guards feeling very important (as they are ) and celebrities (what celebrities?) probably on their sofas watching reality television and eating pork scratchings. Brewer street car park where the shows took place was crowded, mostly with photographers but then there were a lot of people just standing around for ages, dressed up, doing nothing. People on their phones trying to look important forming "tell your people to call my people", "I was in the show but came out to talk to you", "tell Anna (Wintour) I am cancelling dinner tonight" lol, you are blocking my shot peepo, get out of my way (warra mess). I met some great photographers, stylists, bloggers, I handed out many business cards, I received twice as much, two sunny days, 5 English teas and some great friends and contacts later, I can say it was a great experience. I loved shooting at LFW. I hear you, "shut up for once and show is some gaddam photos". Here you go.
