<div style="text-align: justify;">
I STAN Blair of @blaireadiebee on IG) and I think her entire closet is goals! If I could steal anyone's style, she'd be top top on my list. So when I saw this outfit she had on some time ago, I was like let me try and recreate this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know it isn't a perfect recreation of Blair's outfit, but how do you think I did?</div>

PARIS THROUGH MY EYES

</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">If
you follow me on Instagram, you’re probably sick of my Paris posts. Allow me
irritate you one last time please.<br />
<br />
I really really didn’t want to come here and say I love Paris, like I was full
on dead set against liking Paris because I’m the girl that likes to “not like”
what everyone else likes because I have to be different. But this one didn’t
work, Paris seriously STOLE my heart!<br />
<br />
Forget everything you’ve heard before, let me tell you about Paris. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

is so full of life. Not anything I’m unfamiliar with (thanks Lagos), but it was
such a great vibe. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

You will never in your entire life
eat a croissant that tastes better anywhere else than in Paris. Infact, let me
rephrase that. The best croissant you will ever eat can only be found in Paris.
Like, literally every Cafe will serve you mad croissants, don’t stress yourself
by going far. To be honest, Paris gets pastries right. If you think croissants
aren’t your thing (like I did), have a bite in Paris and thank me later.<u1:p></u1:p>

Of the 4 European countries I
visited, the people in Paris were hands down the warmest, friendliest and the
most helpful/polite. I’d been told about how rude the French are. Sis, not to
me. Every single time I had to climb the stairs with my 2 big boxes, someone
would always take them off me. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. One time I couldn’t find
the platform I needed to be on to catch my ride to Brussels; a stranger
followed me round the station checking the screens until we found it. I started
feeling bad at some point, like what’s all this niceness for; this was the
point that I realized that being Nigerian has made me extremely suspicious and
non-expectant of good civil behavior. Too poor.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

don’t joke with their air kisses; everywhere I went, I’d see friends kiss in
greeting...kiss left cheek, kiss right cheek and throw in a hug. Thank God I’m

Taking this pictre was a mad struggle; I put my bag on the floor and set my iPhone in front of it with the 10 second timer on. The twenty something pictures almost like this one can attest to the difficulty in self-timer shots but I pressed on until I got this one. Not sorry though, it turned out really well.</div>

Did you know that quite a number of scenes from Mission Impossible: Fallout were filmed in Paris, especially at Trucadero square, Palais Royal and its garden, and also at the Arc de Triomphe. After watching the movie, I knew I had to visit these spots.</div>

When you’re tired of being patient

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">Hey Guys,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17.9px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">My friend and I were talking yesterday about how we always start off praying for something and then get tired along the way when it seems like we’re not getting any answers. I won’t lie, I was a bit happy to hear I wasn’t the only one that this happens to, but I guess this is where persistence and patience come in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17.9px;">

<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TcnIT28Jk4s/W7skDm08o8I/AAAAAAAAG64/iyVGAbb6xrQ6QjwRXnIbx8j0SEW5YoSMACLcBGAs/s1600/meeee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1498" data-original-width="1124" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TcnIT28Jk4s/W7skDm08o8I/AAAAAAAAG64/iyVGAbb6xrQ6QjwRXnIbx8j0SEW5YoSMACLcBGAs/s1600/meeee.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">How do you tell someone that’s been job hunting for a while to continue to be patient, to keep praying? Do those things put food on the table or buy you clothes, access to health care? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17.9px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;"></span><br /></div>

</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">Someone even went as far as blaming it on our generation, the “microwave” generation...we want everything instantly. While there’s something to be said for that, I think it’s still annoying that no one acknowledges sometimes we outgrow patience. Why do I have to wait for soooo long while others don’t even know how being patient feels?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17.9px;">

</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">Let me not even lie, at some point my prayers started becoming monotonous and repetitive. I started feeling like even God was tired of hearing me ask for the same things over and over again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17.9px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;"></span><br /></div>

</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">Truth is, there’s no happy ending here. You will have to keep being patient. Working hard patiently, praying with patience. I’m still coming to terms with the fact that I’m not a burden to God and that asking for the same thing one million times over is still ok. And because I believe that God tells no lies, I know that eventually my prayers will be answered.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17.9px;">

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">How do you deal with unanswered prayers? Does your patience/faith run thin?</span></div>

5 REASONS TO TRAVEL SOLO

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OjNoMdzITmY/WvnvMRlUvII/AAAAAAAAGzk/TB-EIxFuYl4V6czWqWNEWQYSen8gx0apQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0562.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OjNoMdzITmY/WvnvMRlUvII/AAAAAAAAGzk/TB-EIxFuYl4V6czWqWNEWQYSen8gx0apQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0562.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My friends think I'm weird because I enjoy travelling alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I never plan to travel alone, things just happen (or should I say, don't happen) and I decide to do what works best for me. Never have I regretted those decisions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's why I love it, and why I think you should take the plunge and travel alone...whether deliberately or not:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. <b>Your time is your own</b>: You can do what you want to do at your own time...you alone dictate your every move. You can eat breakfast at 8am or 3pm; you can shop all day if you want, without someone complaining about their hip aching and rushing you out of the mall (side eyeing you Mandy); you can lay in bed all day doing nothing or read a book with the bedside lamp on till 3am. In summary, you alone decide what you want to do, when and how you want to do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gL5wFV-rIBM/WvnoNF8MPKI/AAAAAAAAGzI/bkCFJf86S_UmfkpBZW84N6aamrkbW_XywCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0393.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="720" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gL5wFV-rIBM/WvnoNF8MPKI/AAAAAAAAGzI/bkCFJf86S_UmfkpBZW84N6aamrkbW_XywCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0393.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. <b>Meet new people</b>: I've made the most unexpected friends on my trips; some of whom I never hear from after and some that I still keep in touch with.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. <b>Time to relearn yourself</b>: The best thing about vacations is I get time to be alone with myself. I try new things, eat new food, learn things about myself that I never knew and even remember things about myself I'd forgotten. Vacations remind me how much of an introvert I am and how much I love being with myself, I allow myself get lost in the quiet of my thoughts. I remember how much I love singing and dancing and pretty much performing like Queen Bey...all in my birthday suit. I also feel closer to God when I'm away, as I pray more when I'm on vacation. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. <b>Be Spontaneous</b>: You can take a day trip into the next city without wondering how any one would feel, go swimming at 1am and dance on your bed until you're dizzy. Whatever your mind can think up, you can do it as easily.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. <b>No Judgement Zone/Make bad decisions</b>:Buy the $1,000 bag without being guilt tripped, eat a whole tub of ice-cream for lunch and a burger and fries for dinner without anyone making funny comments about you getting fat.  I love vacations because I allow myself indulge in a few too many treats; it's so much sweeter when no one's watching you pig out. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

ZARA PEARL MULES

<div style="text-align: justify;">
These shoes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You already know that sometimes I plan my outfits around one piece? This is one of those times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I bought these shoes last month and I've been spinning outfit ideas to work them them in my head since then. I have soooo many, meaning you'll get to see a lot of the mules in subsequent posts (disclaimer!) so please no vex in advance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my mind, mules are granny slippers and I never understood the hype. Until now, until this pearl mules came my way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Love at first sight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What's your take on this pair and mules in general? Would you wear them or never?</div>

BURG: A FOOD REVIEW

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember when I asked if you wanted me to tell you about my visit to Burg on IG Stories but most of you voted for here instead? Well, here it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first time I heard of burg was when Atim (@afrolems) popped in during a lunch break and put it on her IG stories. The first thing I said to her was OMG, why do they look like they borrowed Shake Shack's vibes? Like, that was all I was seeing. But if they taste as good as, then I'm good. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first time I went to Burg, I was going to see my friend after, so I ordered 2 Burg OG burgers, 2 Spike fries and 2 Oreo Nut Milkshakes for the both of us and a Pink Lemonade for me. Then I saw the bill. N23,500. My heart was beating so fast. N23,500 for junk?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let me tell you the truth. Burg is PRICEY! See break down below:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Burg OG Double: N4,500 x 2 = N9,000</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oreo Nut Milkshake: N3,000 x 2 = N6,000</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pink Lemonade: N2,500 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spike Fries: N3,000 x 2 = N6,000 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I ended up taking out the fries (like who eats a burger sans fries? Who???), so I paid N17,500 which is still a whole lot! I guess you can do a Single instead of Double Burg OG and pay N3,500 or N4,000 (I forget) and do the lemonade @ N2,500 so your bill comes to about N6,000/N6,500. I still call that pricey and I know that someone looking for an affordable treat won't want to spend that much for that little variety. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can forgive the burger prices, but why is a milkshake N3,000? And a regular cup of lemonade N2,500? Why are fries N3,000? I can't get over those. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Space:</b> Burg is located at the beginning of Isaac John street, Ikea GRA, before you get into the traffic areas...that's the best thing about its location. It's a nice spot to chill as well, with an outdoor area both in front and behind (secret garden, which is more like a bar for shisha and drinks).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Food: </b>The burger is good, I admit. 6.5/10 good. I've had the burger 2 more times and the bun remains soooooooo soft! The Oreo Nut milkshake is maaaad! 10/10 mad. The lemonade was good too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The staff at Burg are really courteous and helpful! They also let me pay via transfer (no idea where my Debit card is) which is a +++ in my books.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I go back to Burg pretty much for the milkshake; it's kinda on my way to the airport (if you take a very slight detour and pass GRA instead of MBA) and because of my recent trips I've had reason to be in the area, so I stop by. I won't go to Burg often because I don't want to be broke or fat (read: fatter than I already am), but it's worth a visit if you've never been.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you been to Burg? What else is nice to try? Will you be eating here soon? Let me know.</div>
