15 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME + A GIVEAWAY ANNOUNCEMENT



Hello Lovelies!!
How's your week going? The weekend is so close and I'm so psyched.
Got any plans for the weekend? Feel free to share.
I intend to resume my couch potato routine, sleep, eat, Tv and more sleep.
 
 
So if you missed my last post here (Pls check it out) I shared my recent journey with self-doubt, I also talked about how I feel my blog might be a bit impersonal and all, True?
 
Big thanks to everyone for the love on my last post, for all the sweet words of advice and encouragement. I truly appreciate everyone for all your immeasurable support.

 

In the spirit of getting more personal on the blog, I decided to share 15 random facts about myself. I hope I don't bore you with boring facts about myself.

1.
I come from a relatively large family, emphasis on the "relatively". I've four elder sisters and two younger brothers.
2.
Bruno Mars is bae, my love for him is inexplicable. Yeah, don't even ask me to explain it because I can't. One day in the nearest future, he will finally propose and I'll say yes. He would perform his best single at our wedding and our love story will be told someday. Trust me I'm not a crazy fan *lol* We love each other that's all y'all need to know.
 
3.
I love chocolates and everything chocolate flavored. The easiest way to my heart is to buy me chocolates and more chocolates. I'll never say NO to chocolates.
 
4.


Most people think I'm quiet but really I'm a chatter box. Only few of my close friends and family members can attest to this fact.


 
 
5.
I like to collect books, I'll even spend my last penny buying a book that I may never read. I know I've a problem. Who else does this?
 
6.
My favorite meal is Plantain and fried egg (sunny side). Dodo is bae, I love my cereals too. Big cereal lover.

7.
I write poems, I haven't  written any in a while though but when I was a lot younger writing poems was my major mode of self expression.

8.
I've an oddly weird taste in music. My sister is always complaining, she doesn't get it and most people don't.

9.
I cry when I get really angry. I also cry when I'm sad and super excited. What can I say? I'm that emotional. It's something I can't control.
 
10.
I don't believe in forcing friendships or any other type of relationship. It practically takes me forever to open up to people or getting to know someone. I believe that all relationships are built on trust and it takes time to earn peoples' trust so don't rush or force it.
 


 
11.
I'm super optimistic. My biggest mantra is "a positive attitude and outlook. I always try to think positive and act positive, regardless of the situation that I find myself (Mum taught me well).
 
12.
I like to make lists ( check lists, To-do lists, appraisal list etc.). I make a list for almost everything, it helps me stay more organized and plan better.

 

 
 
13.
A big sucker for romance and a good love story.
 


 14.
I suck at DIY projects. Well not completely. I used to but I've gotten better and I've a list of DIY projects I intend to try out.
 
15.
I'm not a fan of sports or any form of sporting activity. You can blame it on my laziness or the fact that I suck at most of the sporting activities I engaged in during my secondary school days.
 
 
Phew, I can't believe I was actually able to list 15 random facts about myself.
 
 
I'll like to know you more, tell me random facts about yourself, please?

  1. Aunty you talk a lot oh. I noticed this when we had that outing, but then you are fun to be with. Your supposed love with Bruno mars, when you get married to your man who is obviously not going to be Bruno mars you can leave him and run to Bruno mars. You better wake up praise.....����lol

    1. ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆlol, I didn't talk so much that day.
      Ada, you sound like my sis, both of you don't actually believe in the power of true love. Don't worry I'll still invite you to my wedding.

  2. 3,5,6,9,10,11,12,14,16 are so me. I love love cereal, I collect tons of books, I can be unnecessarily emotional at times, I suck at DIYs and I'm indifferent about sports. Some people actually say I talk a lot but I think I only do when I'm comfortable around someone. Also your family is really large ooo. Okay I'm done now ����

  9. I'm with you on not being a fan of sports �� I always wonder what the fuss is about, I also don't like to force friendships or relationships, if it's meant to be I believe it will take its natural course, I won't say I talk too much but one thing I'm sure of is that when I get really comfortable with you, you see a more "fun' me.
    Nice sweatshirt and keep up the positive attitude, the world needs more of that.

  10. Am not a fan of sports with you, but one thing I think I feel is that, is like one mother gave birth to the two of us going by our slimness... Lol...

    I love the concept of DIY but I suck terribly there..and will soil the whole place like a a one year old feeding herself...

    1. Hi Brenda,
      My sis from another mother, don't just give up on the DIY. I used to get teased by my sis, I guess that's one of the things that motivated me to practice more.
      You can check Pinterest for very creative and easy DIY projects.

    1. Lol, apparently Dodo is everybody bae.
      I listen to different genre, I guess my love for some songs and artiste just makes people describe my taste in music as weird, odd, different, stupid ๐Ÿ™ˆetc.
      Thanks for reading dear, i'm glad you enjoyed it.

  20. I ry a lot too when I am angry. It's just those moments when words can not express just how annoyed you feel. I don't like it because some people mistake it for sadness.
