So, I was feeling adventurous and decided to do something new by eating some wild meat available in Australia - Emu, Kangaroo and Crocodile. Aren't I a bit of a daredevil?

So You Think You Can Blog?
The Concept Of "Marrying Well"
If you're married, or single and of marriageable age, then chances are that you've been told to "marry well" several times. But what does "marrying well" really mean? Ah! That's the million dollar question. Let's dive in shall we?
Absolutely! We're So Excited!
...that heeded our request for thoughts/opinion about the blog. We got a wealth of information, especially from people who opted to give their feedback privately. We have taken all suggestions under advisement and we are pretty excited about using them. We may not use all, but we'll definitely be implementing some of them. Thank you once again.
xoxo...

T.L.O.B - The Love Of Beauty
Kanye West has announced plans for a kids' clothing line and renamed his soon-to-be-released album again to T.L.O.P (asking his fans to guess what it stands for and win a prize), probably because of the feud with Wiz Khalifa {and Amber Rose} on wanting to use "Waves". At first he named the album Swish, then he changed it to Waves, and now it's T.L.O.P. It's no surprise then that the Internet is going crazy with people trying to guess what T.L.O.P means although they seem not to be taking him too seriously. Click here for all kinds of meanings people came up with. I think it means "The Love Of Peace" though. You know, changing his album's name for the sake of peace. After the feud he did say - I love the world bottom line and all I want is peace and positive energy. What do you think T.L.O.P means?
Now, let's get to T.L.O.B which means the love of beauty. (Does it seem familiar? That's probably because you are a student or an alumni of the Federal Government Girls' College, Onitsha. A line from the third verse of the School's anthem goes thus - feminine grace and love of beauty, all that is good is nurtured here...). So, for the love of beauty - because, who doesn't want to look young and beautiful, especially this Valentine season? - I visited the MAC studio at The Palms shopping mall in Lekki, Lagos a few days ago to get some makeup. As is customary with them (and most makeup studios), they gave me a facial makeover including contouring and highlighting and encouraged me to get the products so I can do all of that on my own. Hmmm.Anyhoo, if you want to learn how to do a basic and non-overwhelming contouring and highlighting of the face, (remember I told you before that there's such a thing as over-contouring) I recommend you see this video.
Cosmo also has a guide on their website - cosmopolitan.com - on how to figure out the shape of your face, and the areas to contour/highlight to match your face shape. Click here to see it.
Just before I go, I'll just give you one piece of advice - BLEND! Blending is key, if you don't blend properly, you'll end up looking like a clown and of-course, I'm going to point and laugh! :) Oh, there's a contouring and highlighting video for clowns too. See it below, just so... you stay away from it! Well, except if you're attending a scary-ass clown party for the who-is-who of clowns. Two thumbs up to the quirky chic who did the video though. I had a really good laugh... and you know laughing helps tone your abs. So, I'm grateful for that.
Don't forget to drink lots of water!

Valentine, Break-Ups & You
Nah, the Khloe Kardashian/Snooki feud doesn't count. That happened in the past and was only just rehashed plus it's been settled.
I'm aware though that people seem to be breaking up relationships all around me. Hmmm! What is going on? Is it Valentine jitters? Is there such a thing?

Cooking Goals For Every Girl
*** Editor's note - I came across a story/joke shared by a few friends on Facebook a few days ago. However, the post came with an 'author unknown' tag so I went to work searching the internet for the origins of the joke (it has been adapted by several people a few times) so that I could give credit to the true owner. Unfortunately, I wasn't successful so I've done my own adaptation of the story. If you already know the joke, laugh again or just keep moving. Otherwise... enjoy! ***
Work-Outs: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Just a few days ago, my friend Solum (remember her from Fitness Goals in 2016?) struck up a conversation with me on BBM asking my 3 best work-outs, 3 worst work-outs and the 3 work-outs I kinda love and hate.
