Photo Friday

In my attempt to revive photo friday, I shall be posting some randoms here. Maybe from my instagram or random photos I take during the week, I still don't have a camera so these will most likely be from a mobile device, just a snapshot into my week or the things I like

A printed scarf I wore to work

Orange lipstick and leopard print

Thursday Tidbits!

It's Thursday again? wooooah, speedy week!

1. My darling friend and her husband just welcomed their first child into the world, I was so nervous while she was in Labor, she's the closest person(other than my mom) to me to ever have a baby.
2. Her name is Tiwalayo, I can't believe how much I love her already. She is perfect.
3. That news has put me in good spirits for the past few days. Thank God for his mercies on Mama and baby Tiwa.
4. I've been walking everywhere lately, I walked a total of 6miles (or more) on Monday. Then today I walked to the Asian grocery store 35mins each way. 
5. Walking really helps me though, I feel lighter, at peace.
6. When someone asks why I don't do something my new reply shall be "It doesn't bring me peace" lmao.
7. "At long last love has arrived...and I thank God I'm alive" <---- for your listening pleasure :)
8. My co-worker is still feeding me chocolates OMG! she brought these special Hawaiian ones today. yummy. 
9. It's been a while since I hugged anyone :( I like hugs. 

Buon' Weekend! 

Tea, Kale chips and Chalk art.

Last Friday I hung out with my dear Maribel who features quite often on this blog, I will really miss her when I leave. sigh. Happy thoughts... Check out her blog by the way it's fantastic! We had planned to just go with the flow, cook a little, craft a little and just enjoy each other's company. I find that sometimes the less you plan the more fun it can be. We ended up chatting over some delicious mango tea, making some kale chips (which by the way are not as amazing as everyone says, they are OK), going to dinner at a great Jamaican place and then ended the night at a fun street fair enjoying all the art!

It was an amazing day and we had such good conversation especially about food, I shall share some of our insights later, for now, enjoy the photos :)

What are y'all up to?

?

Do you ever bathe with water so hot, wishing it would scald your skin but still feel nothing?

Or want to open your mouth but fear the sound that might come out?

Have you ever looked in the mirror and really seen yourself. did it scare you?

Do you ever wonder if you will make it?
