On makeup... Yes, Nah or in between?

Feeling: Super sleepy
Time: 7:13am

As you know, by now I talk about almost anything on here. I want to talk about makeup. Yeah, the face thingy. I know it very random and not super serious, but this is a diary, so, why not? Tehehe.

I like makeup a lot, but I can't do any by myself to save my life. Can you believe that I can't draw my brows? I mean, I believe it's pretty simple, I've watched tons of YouTube videos, you'd expect me to be a guru by now. Sigh*

I used to think I'd come around and eventually learn how to beat my face, but I highly doubt that is happening. I may learn how to draw the brows though. I mean,  that should be as easy as ABC, but for now lip gloss is my go to. I don't even use powder. I just make my hair into a large puff, wear some lip gloss and I'm ready.  Thank God I have naturally trimmed brows, I don't have to brush them or anything. Makes life super easy for me.

I was talking about this same topic with my sister who doesn't see the point in wearing makeup on your wedding day if you aren't a fan of it on a normal day. Well, I told her it just highlights your beauty. What was I supposed to say? She still didn't see the point.

There was a point in my life I was considering not wearing any makeup on my wedding day, just like I was planning to wear a jumpsuit instead of a gown and mom asked if I was insane. Sigh* is it her wedding day? Anyways, yeah, there was a time I was considering that, but I have changed my mind. I'm definitely not going to be bare faced. Not because I'm not beautiful or I have low self esteem, but because, duh, it's  my wedding day. Looking extra pretty won't hurt anyone.

I personally don't like makeup that's 'loud', I really don't. I'm one of the people that believe that there's a lot of class in simplicity. Hence, I'm definitely going for the 'natural' make up look, and on every other day I'll carry my face around as it is, hopefully I'd have learnt the how to do the brows.

I have come to a conclusion with human (who loves my natural face btw) already, and the conclusion is I'd leave my face as it is on normal days, and on some days (some because, duh, enjoy my normal face) I have important events, I'd have a makeup artist and a hairstylist to do all the work for me. This would happen when I have a lot of money. Not now abeg, where am I going to?

That's my little rant for today. Gosh!  I'm soooo hungry. I should get some sleep.

Do you like makeup? Has it ever crossed your mind not to wear makeup on your big day? 

 Much love,
Fifi

Feeling: Lazy. Wanna be in bed all day Time : 6:44a.m Lol this post was scheduled for a day in May, but NYSC decided to scatter it. So, I'm just writing it. If you're Nigerian say "yo!" More specifically, if you're Yoruba say "ayyeee." This post is going to be about our culture and one very important aspect of it - Greetings and Respect . I hear that the Yoruba culture is probably the most respectful culture not only in Nigeria, but in the whole world. I wouldn't disagree with that if it's true. The proper way for a girl to greet elders is for her to go down on her knees and for the guys, they prostrate. Imagine during the trad wedding, going to greet the girl's parents and not fully prostrating!!!!  Just know you have forfeited the girl. Growing up, my parents weren't crazy crazy fans of going down fully on your knees to greet them in the morning, though I remember one time, when I was probably 12 or 13, my daddy said we s

Some Kinna delicious sweet potato meal. RECIPE!

Feeling: cuddly  Time: 7:57am The last time I made this, my brother called it Fifi's casserole (well, that's cos I made it in the oven). Now that I made it in a pan, I wonder what he'd call it.   I feel like this meal had already existed before I thought about it; like I wasn't the first to think it up, well, that's okay I guess. The first time I made this was during my service year, I was super tired of eating the same old meals and I felt like whipping up something new. That's one thing about me; I think about things I've never eaten before, make them a reality; sometimes, good, sometimes, not so good. (I made some kind of toast in a pan the other day, I had it with ketchup. Yeah, bread and ketchup. My brothers were sneering at it, I told them they had to taste it, they did, and made a whole batch for themselves.) So let me show you how I made this quick, super easy and delicious food. It probably takes 40 minutes or less than. Peeling the pota

Conscious Living- Life isn't ROCK, PAPER ,SCISSORS. SHOOT!

Hello fam, good day and welcome to Fifi's diary. How'd your week go? Mine was great actually.I had time for myself. Why do I feel so sleepy? It's just 12:37pm and I even had a second round of sleep. Anyways, straight to the point. You see, this morning, I made a decision to start  living consciously. As a growing woman or lady, or whatever, I believe that every decision I make should be made consciously.I do not want to find myself in a particular place and wonder how I got there, I do not want to be in a relationship (general) and wonder how I got there.. This was what brought about the thought this morning, it might seem unrelated but... I was preparing breakfast, no one was in the house, the help was in her room. I wasn't raised with a help around the house, and I don't plan on raising my kids with any help doing stuff for me. As I was cooking, it just crossed my mind that " Lois, in a few years you'll be a mother and wife by God's grace is that h
