Lets be REAL

Beware, quite a few spoilers ahead and mentions of suicide may be triggering to some people. Read with caution. Hello everyone, I’m not sure how to begin with this one so I’ll just jump right in. For basic info about the book here’s a link to the goodreads books page here. I picked this book up because I wanted a quick, refreshing, read. I have spent most of my free time over the past couple weeks catching up on my reading, writing, and watching, while seriously avoiding any weighty reads that I felt would draw any emotion other that happy satisfaction from me at the end. I found Anna K one d ..read more

Nike art gallery After so long, I finally feel like I can write again…  Hey guys, Jojo here and it’s been ages. To think that this year started out with me just 3 months into my NYSC with so many exciting plans and stuff to do and here we are at the end of the year, some of those plans accomplished and a whole bunch of others unaccomplished but I feel thankful anyway. This year for me has been the happiest, saddest, most exciting, most disappointing year of my entire life. I feel like I’ve matured into a whole new woman. I’ve explored me, burrowed deep into myself and gotten to know w ..read more

How about doing things for you?
Lets be REAL

Hey Guys! I know I haven’t written in while so I figured I’d bring you all a quick one, how about doing things for you? Honestly, this one’s a tale as old as time. For as long as we have existed human beings have craved approval. And yes I mean approval from friends and family, popularity, and essentially some form of success that is dictated not by your own, but someone else’s idea of what success should look like. Let’s take a moment to think about this. Good? Great. I find that the older I get the more I realise that I often make decisions based on either what everyone else thinks or what I ..read more

Well, hello there! Jojo here… again…wassup wahs good? (awkward pause)    Okay So guess who had to go and serve her country?

At the beginning of your service you are to report to camp for a three week orientation where you will be drilled as para military before you are posted to whichever part of the state NYSC dims fit and are mandated to ..read more

I made a YouTube video…No, it didn’t make me famous.
Lets be REAL

How NOT to be famous First of all, let me just clarify that the video (of which I’m blogging about) will never see the light of day. Ever. Except maybe a zombie apocalypse which we all know, no one will survive to watch it after. Hellooo everyone! This is my first post and so I thought I should do something special i.e tell the tale of my attempt at YouTube fame. In case you didn’t know, YouTube is a video platform which people are able to post as well as watch different types of videos. But honestly if you didn’t know, then, well, how’s the weather under that rock you live in? Initially me ..read more

Saudi Arabia has given the Canadian ambassador 24 hours to leave the country after the Middle East nation accused Ottawa of interference in its domestic affairs. In response to Canada’s call for the release of a women’s rights activist, Saudi Arabia also said it would suspend new business and investment ties. It also recalled its envoy to Canada. On 2 August, Canada’s foreign minister Chrystia Freeland called for the “release” of Samar Badawi, the sister of Raif Badawi, a prominent rights campaigner who has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for insulting Islam. Samar Badawi and another ac ..read more

Hi guys! Jojo here, yes, I know it’s been forever again. How are you? How’s life? I’m good, life is good, i’m living or should I say trying to live, what about you? Last time I made a post was over five months ago, I got a new job and it takes up all of my time and the most annoying part is that I work weekends too! so yeah that’s my excuse, my apologies for real everyone. Growing up really is a scam, I remember how excited I was to turn eighteen, little did i know adulthood wasn’t everything it seemed to be. I realized how stressed I was, doing the same thing over again everyday really sucks ..read more

Hey guys!! First off I hope everyones having an AMAZING day. This is actually my first personal post of the year and if that isn’t cause to celebrate I don’t know what is. Well, me and Jojo (my sister, and co-owner of this blog) recently merged our blogs (you’d know this if you followed either of us personally before the merge) and since then I haven’t really put out any new content. So well I recently started reading a bunch of young adult novels and I thought, ‘here’s an idea, why don’t I review what I’m reading’ and the rest, well you know the rest. That said, let’s get to it! *rubs palms t ..read more
