TVSHOWS REVIEW: JANE THE VIRGIN (beware of season four spoilers)

Hey guys so I am here with another of my favorite kind of posts, reviews!! So from the title you can tell that itโ€™s a TV show one, and as you know me I am obsessed with TV shows, I can really get into it   when I want to, so I will revi ew my favorite TV show so far. Side bar: As you all know teen wolf had an amazing final season, the last episode shook me and yes I cried very much at that ending, but yet itโ€™s good that it ended, which leads me to my top show so far. JANE THE VIRGIN Now it seems weird and I know most of you are asking why Iโ€™m saying Jane the virgin since itโ€™s an old show, but itโ€™s actually one that I started watching around last year but I stopped so I decided to continue recently and itโ€™s just say that itโ€™s been amazing, Iโ€™ll give a little spoiler if you havenโ€™t watched the last episode of season three. Tyler Posey is in it!!! (Fan girls for 10 minutes or more.) Ok Ok. So the teen wolf star plays the role of A...

My homeโค

Vs1 The days when we laid under the moon and stars When we slept in bamboo beds Without a care in the world When the banging of the talking drum Was the music to our dance Those days when we ran along the streets With leather bags tied together with sack ropes for footballs When we would go to the stream and splash around Even bathing was an occasion Then we would mile around When the ones from the city came All the tales they told seeming like dreams Then our mothers would cook food in the outdoors We would slowly wander around her With high hopes for a taste. MY PAST VS2 Now, our moonlight tales Have been replaced by family movie night We call it thus in desperate hope for a hint of the past But yet, I wonder if this is really so When we are so caught up in the rush of life Yet, I know this, Our hearts strain for the connection once more We strain for the touch The feel of nature The feel of one another The connection Are we too lost to find ourselves on...

#IAMGOOD๐Ÿ’ช

Hey you guys. I'm backโœจ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’ And today's post is called "I AM GOOD๐Ÿ’ช" Let's begin We're all human. And the first thing to do when we see another human is to judge them. And categorize them. Now I'm not blaming us, we're human. It happens. I am here to explain to you why you should look beyond the skin though. Give you another insight of why were the way we are. That bible verse has become one of my favorites till date. Its pure truth is outstanding. The realization that just takes over you when you view that is almost unbearable. God made us all in his image... As in basically he made us to be like Him. To look like him. So I may not have the best legs or the best hair or the best face. Okay I don't have the slimmest tummy or the perkiest behind. God looked at all he had created...  And he saw that it was good. I want to be good for God, the way he created me. That exact way. I refuse to alter anything on my body because ...

How I pack for tripsโœจ

So guys, school us halfway done for the new session. Congratulations๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ Anyway so a lot of you will be traveling this Christmas. Maybe vacation, visiting, etc. And this post is for how to pack for a Christmas holiday. 1. First thing you need is...... Music ๐Ÿ˜‚ I mean packing music Some catchy songs like Hailee Steinfield is a personal favorite or Jason derulo or Justin bieber๐Ÿ’‹โคโคโค. Music helps with your mood. Helps put you in the right frame of mind to pack. Or since its Christmas, get some Christmas jams, like all I want or joy to the world. Let's get started for real๐Ÿ˜‚ 1.0 A traveling bag or box Depending on how long you're staying you need to know how much stuff you're packing for how many days, Especially clothes. So I'll give an estimate, if you're staying for a few days, use a traveling bag. If you're staying for a week however, use a box. Different sizes for different quantities of clothes. I'd suggest to start with a small one an...

Stressโœจ

Heyyyyyyyyy guys ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€ *dodges shoes and things thrown* I'M SORRY!!!!! I know its been a really long time since I posted but I have a legit explanation. I've gotten so carried away with school and sorting a lot of stuff with myself. Also dancing, I'm taking that more serious now. And there is an awesome surprise I'm working on, something big for everyone and its a lot of work so I'm super busy, but I'll honestly try my best now. And also let's not forget the most critical writers block I've had this year. ๐Ÿ˜‚ but thank you guys anyway for still reading it means a lot. Yayyyyyyyyโœจโœจโœจ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ Okay so... Everyone has stress. Once in a while it all gets too much. Especially as a teenager. A lot of parents don't get how stressful it is on us as kids. Personally I've has to deal with stress a lot this year and most times I've handled it in different ways that I should have but I'll help so you guys don't do what I...

Nothing but Godโœจโœจโœจโœจโœจ

Honestly I keep hearing about the fact that we are the generation to look up to and that scares me. Not cause I feel I'm not good enough, even though I do sometimes, but cause I'm scared about the greater percentage of us. There is so much hate in this world, so much darkness and sadness and brooding brought upon by "the generation to look up to" being bad or not serving God or falling out is seen as cool. How twisted is that mentality. In as much as there is a healthy number of us that are willing to take upon this task and build ourselves up to takeover. The majority just want to inflict pain and follow trends. You aren't a drone, you don't have to fight for someone else's approval. My God wasn't stupid when he was making me the way I was and he's not stupid now so whatever you think about me doesn't matter. Gods love is greater than all the riches, all the friends even all the family I could have, cause when push comes to shove he never leav...

Beauty: less is more.

Hey guys๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’• Its been so long since I posted I know I know, but I've been quite busy and also quite blocked. I do sincerely apologize. So I have gotten quite an increased number of views especially on that last post and I really do thank Aliyah for requesting. I haven't done a feature before but I like the fact that I will today. Its a photography feature guys!!!!!๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ The wonderful atilary studios๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ They inspired me greatly by this picture. The concept of natural beauty. Basically beauty is in every detail... And the less you put on the more... The look we are seeing is captured effortlessly by atilary studios. By putting little make up we are able to see the models natural beauty, which to me is more overwhelming on every woman than caking on ounces of make up. Nothing against make up cause I use it as well. But the lighter you go the more your true beauty comes out. Model: @ellasaraf Hair: @vonhair Makeup: @mogamlooks Pi...

My first request๐Ÿ˜Š (Phone situation by aliyah)

Hey guysโšก๐Ÿ’Ž So I got this request from a reader of mine Aliyah who dmed me on Instagram my handle is @thatedogirl_ BTW do DM me for advice, requests, suggestions etc. So Aliyah wanted me to do a little snippet of why I think teens (us) use our phones too much.. Okay here it goes After I got this request I started doing quite some Thinking and research cause I didn't have an answer immediately. I am a teen girl so I love my electronics, I love the Internet, I love my apps etc. Electricity and data are my best friends (sorry Bev and Davyโค๐Ÿ˜‚) but basically its true. So I started to really think P.S this is my personal opinion And I came up with a rough theory. Social media.. It basically provides us an avenue to somewhat create new lives or remix our lives a bit. Look at it, when we want to open an account in Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter.. Heck even google you have the complete liberty to input whatever you choose to and change whatever you choose to about yourself, y...
Hey guysssss Its me again๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜Œ Well I'm guessing you knew that since you are on my blog and whatnot so๐Ÿ˜‚ Okay so I wanted to do this as a middle of the year post since at my church we are going to have a massive Sunday on the 25th just praising God and going all out for keeping us till the middle of yet another year. Uhm, so I will be going to the university soon, and honestly, I haven't gotten admission yet, cause the lists aren't out for my school and all, but people always question my choice, like "Obehi why that school?" "Do you know how hard it is to get it" "The partiality is too much etc. Well they're all right and I get it, I do appreciate the concern but everything is human worry, and human mentality, what we see as a mountain from down here, God sees it as a little rock. And I just wanted to do this today since I had this surge of energy and encouragement to write. This year, it seemed to me like the devil was purposely...

MY FAVORITE CLOTHING ITEMS

HEYYYYYY Look who's now working overtime. LOL Okay so, this idea came from me trying to organize my closet, keyword, trying lol, so i realized that my style is kind of unique in the sense that i tend to hoard a particular type of clothing. Confused a bit? yeah i am too actually, but nonetheless lets get started. 1.  SHORT SHORTS  This will probably be what you'd notice first about my wardrobe and that is my obsession with shorts. I wear these shorts almost all the time, I feel really relaxed and comfortable in them, so if you probably decide to pay a surprise visit well, you know what you'd find me wearing then.๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰ 2. TANK TOPS This is also another go to piece of clothing i have, like for example if I just took my bath and wasn't going anywhere or doing anything I would love to just chill in a tank top, This one is quite an obsession like, when i go shopping with my mom and i just see one i ask for it almost based on urge. LOL (Fun fact: I can only...

BOOK REVIWS

HI HI HI HI HIโ˜บโ˜บโ˜บโ˜บโ˜บโ˜บ I am back from the land of bloggers block and Iโ€™m here to do book reviews, think of it as a valentines treat. For those who are like me and arenโ€™t planning on turning up tomorrow, or doing anything social except social networking, and of course socializing with familyโ€ฆ(UGH!) curling up with a good book is always a valentine๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ’‹ treat. I am obsessed with books that actually have their own movies which is why we see MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA This book is fantastic, I read it and I kept on reading it, the writer Arthur Golden is really golden. The Asian culture has always been beautiful to me so seeing it here has been a lovely literary experience, a core favorite of mine is how he shows the utmost transition from a poor girl in a fishing village to one of the best geisha in all of Japan, though she is drenched is modesty and she gives a classic line that I do take as a personal phras...
