PHOTO: What Does Social Media Mean To You?

Hey sweets! I decided to do a quick post on this one. It's the World's Social Media Day! No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't shut myself up about it. I am a media enthusiast!

So let's unwind with it.

What Does Social Media Mean To You? 

To me, it means life, love and light.

Your turn?

6 Things You Should Stop Doing If You Want To Enjoy A Creative LifeStyle

Borrowing from last week's post, let's talk about life - how to live creatively. (Still on my birthday mood and reflecting on my life. Lol).

6 Things You Should Stop Doing

Over the past twenty-something years of my life, I have grown in wisdom to know that there is more to life than clothes, shoes, cars, houses, and all those things people kill themselves to get nowadays.

RELATIONSHIP: How To Know You Mean A Lot To Him

As women we tend to think and over-analyse a lot. I often end up asking myself if I mean a lot to some guy. Here is a list of 6 things that will show you mean a lot to him.

When You Mean A Lot To Him

Erm, I am NOT infallible, or an expert on dating – and I am DEFINITELY not the Holy Spirit. However, it is my desire is to see godly and healthy relationships blossom beautifully.

Dear Diary, They Made Me Look Like Masquerade

I wasn't just at Chidinma's wedding, but I was also on her train. Chidinma was my school mum. I did mention her here and here.

I Looked Like Masquerade

I love weddings. Oh, believe me I do! I’ve been to a lot of weddings – so many that I have lost count. And I’ve been a bridesmaid a couple of times.

You Are Still Here

Hi sweets! Thank you for those birthday wishes and packages. I wish my birthday can be everyday so you can keep showing me the same amount of love you showered on me yesterday. Mehn, you all are amazing!!! THANK YOU!!! May you always have reasons to celebrate. Amen.

I feel someone out there needs to be encouraged. (me too, yeah)

Still Here

There is never a time I am called to speak without finding myself making reference to Joseph. I love that guy. He is my inspiration.

It's My Birthday!!!

June 26 is here!!! I can't keep calm!!! I can't be still!!! I don't know what to do. I'm feeling everything all at once at the same time. I think I'm having a Birthday fever!!!

26.26.26. Birthday Fever Feelings

I can't even sleep. Who sleeps on her birthday? Definitely not me. O_O

What 2 Years of Blogging Has Taught Me

June 26 isn't just my birthday but also my Blogiversary. By tomorrow, it will be officially stated that I've been blogging for 2 years. Cheers to the day I first told the world I have a blog!

At that moment, I remember feeling excited and nervous in equal measure. What will people think of my writing? Is it good enough? The feeling of exposing yourself on such a personal level to the whole world is strange to get used to at first.

BOOK REVIEW: 'The Spider's Web' By Dumebi Ezar Ehigiator

Yay! This book happens to be my first birthday gift this year. Frances visited me for the first time on the very first day of June and said, "I know you like books, so I brought this for you. I'm the first person to give you a gift" Trust me, she beat everyone else to the punch. Thanks babes. You are simply amazing! *blows kisses*

Now let's review . . .

'The Spider's Web' By Dumebi Ezar Ehigiator

I couldn't wait to read this book. It is so beautiful to look at. Lovely cover. Nice design. They say "don't judge a book by its cover", but I literally did this time. I knew it had to be as captivating as its cover. 

26 Things About Life I Wish I Knew 10 Years Ago

Over the years, I’ve been blessed to have great mentors, teachers, family, and friends, that taught me about life. I wouldn't take them for granted. 

26 Lessons About Life

These are bits of wisdom I learnt from people and books. Some of the lessons took me a long time to learn. While I picked up some from personal experiences, others are from the people I've been blessed to meet one way or the other.

DIARY: This Thing Called Family

I have written this entry five times and deleted it five times. I couldn't get myself to make a point. So I decided to scatter the points all over the place. Sorry. 

Family Like Family (CASOR) 

You know what? Blood is not always thicker than water. Don't get me wrong. I love my immediate family and I'm extremely close to them, but my close friends are more like my blood than my own extended family.

Amaka, remember your life is to showcase the glory and beauty of God.

Is Your Life Going Round In Circles?

Have you ever felt that your life was going round in circles? That you were stuck on some broken record? Repeating the same cycles – the same patterns? I know I have.

And it can be frustrating. Dizzying. Maddening. Just crazy!

When You Feel Like You've Been Going Round A Circle

Whenever June comes, I'm naturally joyful and livened up. I scream and dance without music (there is always a song playing in my heart). It is the month I was born! But I found out I wasn't euphoric as much as I would normally have. I was really struggling, both physically, spiritually and emotionally.

STYLE: So I Went "Nude"

Happy Sunday sweethearts! How was (or should I say 'has been' because it's just 4:59PM and the day is not over yet?) your weekend? Hope you had a blast! I sure did too. :)

Alrightie, you know how Sunday goes around here. Glorifying God with the clothes that we wear and the styles that we rock. *winks*

Nude

I went nude. Oh yeah, you read that right! I went "nude." D-u-h! I actually heard that's what this colour is called in the fashion industry - nude. And I'm like "Huh? Oh? Okay!" 

My Birthday Wishlist

Hey sweets! June 26 is almost here. Lemme quickly tell you what I want so that you can plan ahead. :D

My Birthday Wishlist

I have nothing planned for my birthday just yet. I decided to create a wishlist, even tho my greatest wish is for God to grant me the wisdom and the grace to achieve and fulfil my purpose here in earth before I die. 

RELATIONSHIP: The Best One You Can Ever Have

There is no point beating about the bush. I'll to be straight with you, the best relationship you can ever have is the one that GLORIFIES God. Real talk.

The Best Relationship

It's been a while I posted something related to love and relationships. The truth is I was struggling in the area of relationships. 

DIARY: "A Whole Amakamedia"

May 2016

"A Whole Amakamedia"

Dear diary, this is not one of my favourite days. Few hours ago I was complaining to a friend how being unable to do anything worthwhile makes me feel.

Are You Willing To Give Up To Not Give Up?

You keep hearing "Pursue your dreams." "Follow your passion." "Keep your dreams alive." "Don’t give up on your dreams." and all those cheesy taglines. Believe me, it never gets easier. Phew! *wipes face*

Give Up On Giving Up

It seems like the longer you choose to go on this journey, the harder it becomes. You keep moving from one level of challenges to another level of challenges. Just when you think you've overcome a setback, something happens that throws you off again.

It is tiring. And it can get really frustrating.

STYLE: Rocking Red Hair

Yay! I did it! I took a leap of faith and stepped out of my comfort zone of rocking black and brown hair to red hair. It's not my first time though, but it feels so after a very long time.

Rocking Red Hair

I had this "this girl is on fire" look a couple of weeks ago. (May 2015). My intention was to look the opposite of what I felt on the inside.

5 Tiny Habits That Can Totally Transform Your Life

I was born in June. I reflect a lot about my life during this time. Aha. (Thank you for the birthday wishes and gifts in advance) I have this list of things I've been doing so far that have improved my life tremendously. I thought to share them with you.

5 Tiny Life-Changing Habits

I call them tiny habits because they don’t seem like much, but if you practice them regularly, they can improve your energy level, your fitness, your work, and your creativity . . . in big ways.
