5 Things I’m Loving About This Pregnancy Glow

It’s often said that every pregnancy is different, and from my experience, that’s absolutely true. I’m not sure I glowed as much during my previous pregnancies (though some people claimed I did), but this time, I’m glowinggggggg—I can see it and feel it! Hallelujah!!!

A Different Pregnancy Glow

Pregnancy glow is the vibrant, radiant, fresh look that many women show on their faces while pregnant. For me, this pregnancy is the most beautiful thing. I feel like I’m not just growing a baby—I’m also glowing in every possible way. It’s been such a joy to experience this unique blend of physical changes, emotional highs, and spiritual blessings that make me feel radiant. So today, I’m unapologetically showing off and sharing five things I’m absolutely loving about this pregnancy glow!

1. My Skin is Doing the Most

There’s something about the way pregnancy hormones work their magic! My skin feels smoother, softer, and yes, brighter. It’s like the angels decided to sprinkle a little extra oil on me. I catch myself in the mirror sometimes and think, “Who is this glowing beauty?!” Whether it’s the natural flush or just the glow that comes with carrying life, I’m soaking in every compliment like the queen I am!

Week By Week Baby Bump Progression Photos

I have loved taking my own photos every few weeks and watching my body change and grow up to birthing a human!!

Baby Bump Photos

As cliché as it sounds, witnessing what the female mind, body and spirit can pull off, first hand, has been pretty amazing.

Important: I think all women, mothers or not, have this strength inside of them. But pregnancy really does reveal that strength to you.

Growing a big tummy for your baby can be so fascinating. May everyone trying to conceive experience the bliss that comes with pregnancy very soon. Amen.

The Thing That Art Can Do

I think I have a flair for photography somewhat. I know I enjoy being the focus of the camera, but recently, I figured out that I also like to be behind it. There is this joy that comes from seeing the killing smiles on the faces of those who have been shot. Pun intended.

This Art Thing

My Parents-in-law smiling at the pictures I took

I love creative expressions. I am very much interested in expressing and exploring the basic human emotions such as joy, sadness, ecstasy and so on through art. I once shared how to express emotions through dance here. And many times, I've shared how I do same through writing as well as through fashion. Everything is art.

You may be asking, "what is art?"

This question pops up often, and comes with many answers. Many argue that art cannot be defined. Some say, the meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics. At least, that’s what Wikipedia claims.

Why Do People Have Pre-wedding Photo Shoot?

Hi sweeties. It's Love-Wednesday! This is the topic that landed on my fingers today. Yeah, pre-wedding photo shoot 🙈

Pre-wedding shoot is a photo shoot that usually takes place three to six months prior to the wedding day. Do you think they are neccessary?

Pre-Wedding Pictures Ideas

I posted the above picture on my Whatsapp status with the caption "pre-wedding shoot". Oh my God, the reaction was unbelievable.

The congratulatory message almost got me teary. It is amazing to know that my friends and family would love to see me getting married. Lol.

What an expensive joke. Jeez.

Dear Diary, Would Jesus Take Selfies?

It's no new gist that I enjoy being in front of the camera. My pictures are everywhere on this blog. Got to ask myself one day "Why do I love the camera this much?". Shocked to find out God had an issue with that. 

Camera Obsession

Sometimes I wonder what Jesus would have done if he lived in this age of digital cameras and camera phones. Would he have posted pictures of himself hanging out by the water's edge, having a few glasses of wine at the wedding at Cana, or standing next to that tree with the caption "Last weekend was lit!"?

DIARY: The Fabric, The Model And The Mannequin

Choosing fabric is the most important step in sewing a dress. So I visited an Ankara store because that's my preferred fabric anytime everyday.

On one hand, I visited the store to feed my pretty eyes. And on the other hand, I went with a little hope to find something that fits my preference and matches my pocket.

Ankara Is NOT African?

"Hollandais is from Holland na." The guy at the store said.

That shouldn't have suprised me, because obviously, it is right there in the name - HOLLANDais. But for some only-God-know reason I was shocked.

It felt like I had a sharp pain in my chest. I think my head was spinning too.

5 Tips On How To Look Amazing (And Stop Being Shy) In Front Of The Camera

Hey sweeties! Welcome to April - a month of true love and happiness! Did someone try to make you look like a fool yesterday? Tell that person to go read Happy April Wise! asap.

It's Sunday-style. Today I want to share with you some tips I've picked up.

How To Pose Like A Model

If those who do not enjoy taking pictures are said to be camera-shy, then what do you call those who enjoy taking pictures? Camera-bold!

I am so camera-bold. Lol.

What To Do When You Hate Your Own Pictures

Ever looked at a picture you took and scrutinize your flaws, analyze your imperfections, criticize your faults, then sigh, and resign to thinking that you are just fat, or just tiny or just ugly?

Well, sweeties, I have a new approach to looking at pictures of yourself.

Loving Yourself In Ugly Pictures

I’m generally OK with the reflection I see in the mirror, but sometimes, the camera could cast a pall on my visage.

This Is All About Face Modelling

I have never appreciated makeup artists and the art in makeup by itself as much as I did yesterday. I looked at the mirror and couldn't believe what I beheld.

Face Modelling 101

Money is the only thing that can motivate me to comfortably wear makeup on my face. I cannot be wearing mascara and carving my eyebrows for nothing. Makeup for me is strictly business.

STYLE: Walk On The Street Like You Owe Nobody

Happy Sunday! It's not every time shoes, sometimes slippers too. Lol. Lemme show you an outfit I put together on one of those days I just go freely on the street like I owe nobody. :D

You Owe Nobody

Since this post, my definition of "street style" hasn't changed. It is still the normal outfit a normal person wears on a normal day. No paparazzi.

Being free is such a great experience.

STYLE: Rocking A Shirtdress

What is a shirtdress? Basically, it’s a longer version of a shirt, usually button-down, slightly oversized, long, that looks like a shirt but worn as a dress.

So I got one. Here is the story .  .  .

Shirtdress

Once upon a time . . .

I went shopping at the nearest local market (Oshodi, Lagos precisely) and found a perfect cotton long oversized button-down shirt, and was thrilled. "Wow! It's a shirtdress."

What I Wore At The Filling Station Ft. The Okada Man

Hello sweethearts! How was your weekend? Hope you made it stress-free just like we planned? OK. Good. :)

Today's WIW post has no bearing. It is as confusing as the title itself. You might as well help me give it a better title after seeing the pictures of 'What I Wore'. :D

At The Filling Station

A camera solely focuses on you when you stand behind a wall, a gate or any plain structure (like I always do), but when you stand on the road or on a bridge, the focus of the camera will be divided. Many other things will draw the attention away from you - to people, vehicles, animals etc.

STYLE: Dull Ankara Material Turns Into a Bright Flared Skirt

You remember the brown Ankara material I told you about here. Huh? I finally made it into a skirt. Trust me, I added light, colour and energy to it. *winks*

WIW: Ankara Skirt

If only I can be patient enough to sew clothes, I will be a very good tailor. No jokes. I have a sewing machine and I know how to sew. I learnt tailoring while waiting for my UTME result.

It's just that I have some really good excuses. One, my sewing machine needs to be taken to a mechanic. Two, I dunno how to go back to my "madam" who I left without saying a word. Lol!

STYLE/WIW: Favourite Spot At Church

2015 was an amazing journey with you being here. I enjoyed every moment we shared. When I say "you rock!", I mean it. Sweeties, you rock my world big time mehn. Glad we made it into 2016. Let's continue in our quest for living life filled with positivity, inspiration and love. Shall we? :)

Okey-dokey, my blog time-table hasn't changed. Sunday remains a day to showcase WIW. God hasn't told me to stop yet. Lol

Style Summary

This is the very first thanksgiving Sunday of the year. I hope you went to church. Why am I even asking? Of course you did! Nobody misses a Sunday like this one.

Right? 

STYLE: WIW To Church (The White and Green Concept)

Hello sweethearts! How are you doing on this lovely Sunday? Tell me you are having fun and went to church like I did. :)

WIW: The White and Green Concept

Before I show off WIW to church, let's bless our hearts from the sermon we heard in the gathering of God's people. I hope you took some notes.

Difference Between Those Who Enjoy Life and Those Who Do Not

I don't know life any better than you, but I like to share the little I have discovered. This is why I write, exposing my deepest secrets, so that my sweethearts can know they are not alone.  :)

Enjoying Life

I call myself a lot of things - writer, thinker, speaker, bookworm, media enthusiast, voice-over artiste, presenter, blogger, and many other activities I enjoy doing. And just recently, I have added 'model' to the list. Yes, I now call myself a model.

Are you a model?

We'd met on different occasions. Most times we only exchanged the hi and hello. I actually like him. He always has a smart look. Always. When I saw him today, I remembered one day. . .

That day, we met at the corridor, our eyes met. He smiled, I smiled.

"Good morning" he said, still smiling
"Good morning" I replied, smiling too.

"You look good" he said
With a blush, "Thank you" I paused. "You too" I added.

And just when we walk passed each other, he turned, "Are you a model?"
