Do you have to read self-development books on your self-development journey? The answer is yes! With no iota of doubt, I have concluded that the phrase, ‘Readers are leaders’ hold true in every sense of it. Growing up, my teachers would often shout it but I thought they were just trying to get me to read the very many boring literatures. Now that I’m grown and I have read a reasonable amount of books, I’ve come to accept that they were right. Self-development is a journey that requires dedication, and self-awareness, and your 20s are a pivotal period in your life, filled with transitions, chal ..read more

One of the many self-development mistakes we all make is thinking that it is a one-time thing as against seeing it as a journey that never ends. Have you ever wondered why some people keep trying to improve their lives but never make headways? It’s not because they are not trying or not doing what needs to done. It is because they are making mistakes that most people often overlook but has the capacity to hinder them from reaching their greatest potential. The good thing is, for you to be able to make mistakes at all, it means there was an action taken and I commend you for that. However, sinc ..read more

Just like you, I used to think self-development is a one-time thing. It seemed as though all we needed to figure out is what we want, where we want to be and how to get there, but sadly that is not all that there is to this. I will tell you this for free, self-development is a journey that lasts a lifetime! It never ends. So, if you feel you’ve arrived at your destination, you need this post way more than those who are still trying to figure things out. Why? Because you will get stuck. Wondering how I know this? I lost a writing gig that could potentially bring me a lot of money, that was when ..read more

But there is one important caveat: Because these exercises are so short, they need to be challenging and target all of the muscles in your entire body. In weight training it means how fast or slow you lift and push the weights. Be sure to keep that knee in its original position and only move from your core. If you dont have either of those, you can do a barbell front squat or back squat. Increase the intensity, and youre looking at about 700 calories an hour. We need upper body strength to complete everyday tasks, plus youll feel amazing having a toned upper body. Strength or resistance train ..read more

I was going to look for a subtle and simple way to tell you about the things I learned from my ‘how to be a sugar baby’ a.k.a blesee lessons but you just judged me so I’m not going to try to please you. There’s no point trying to sugar-coat this story if all you’ll do is smirk at me like you are the holiest of us all. Remember we all agreed to set goals and smash them, right? So I think you should respect me and my goal and read with an open mind. That’s the only way you’ll enjoy the gist. Here’s how my ‘how to be a sugar baby’ lessons started You know what they say about goals without actions ..read more

The memo that I would make some lifestyle changes while living in Budapest was passed to me and I honestly dreaded it. I didn’t think for the life of me that I would fall in love with some of these things but I’m here to tell you my friend that, things are different. I thought I would only have to do these things because and when I have to, but hey, someone is loving some of these things. There are many lifestyle changes I’ve had to make since I got here. Some of these are bathing with hot water because I could freeze if I do otherwise, walking a lot because there’s no keke napep and bike here ..read more

It is statutory to experience culture shocks when you move to a new city or country, and as expected, I looked forward to the new experiences in Budapest. But a part of me low-key thought I had seen it all when I moved to Lagos, Nigeria. That city shook me so much that I was traumatized at some point, so I could have sworn that Lagos is undefeated but I was wrong. While Lagos will continue to lead in some things, Budapest seems to be following closely behind but with some good things though. I’ve only been in Budapest for a few weeks so I might not have seen it all, but here are some culture s ..read more

My first hiking experience would probably be my last, no jokes. I could swear I would lose my legs, run out of breath and pass out in the woods. Let’s just say the fear of what happens to girls in the woods in movies, and the resolution to not disappoint my African forefathers got me through the torture that I put myself through. It is okay if you are laughing at me already but please before you judge me or maybe say, ‘who sent you’, make sure you read all the sides of the story. I had arrived late due to delayed visa as I mentioned in my relocation post and because of that, I had missed the e ..read more

The days that led to me leaving Nigeria were full of anxiety! Not because I was not sure about my decision to leave the country but because my visa was taking too long to come. Everything about the relocation process to this country was just different and for the first time, I also asked myself the same question everyone asks me when I tell them my country of choice. Why on earth did I pick Hungary? Yes, I relocated to Budapest, Hungary …to pursue my Master’s Degree in Communication and Media Science, and ultimately live my best life. It’s okay if you are also wondering why Hungary but what I ..read more

Just like that, it’s the end of the year already and I’ll be wrong to not write about the lessons 2021 taught me. I personally didn’t envisage the kind of year I had, to think I wanted it to end at some point and now I’m so shocked at how fast it ended. 2021 is the year so many things happened to me in a very short span. Before I could jack up from one, another had hit me, it was crazy. I could literally remember incidents like they were yesterday. Let me begin by saying a big congratulations to you. In all that happened in the year, you are here and still standing. Look back at all those time ..read more
