MPV.....my point of view!

In the cliché of life being short, confessions of attraction towards your crush hurt less... ...than keeping it inside. Hello, my single ladies! Beyoncé wave! How are you doing? It's getting nippy on this side of the hemisphere. And there I was thinking that I would stock up on my winter clothes. Oh, well!   It's story time! I know we love going through each page of 'Single Ladies, the Quest for Mr. Put-a-Ring-On-it', and receiving a few pearls of wisdom. As I write every post in this series, the book's theme changes. Remember the time that we wanted so badly to become "Mrs." Now, every article is about healing, self-love, and growth. In addition, mental health is of great value, and it's our prerogative. This isn't just my journey; it's our journey. I love this space because, on this platform, y'all are my girlfriends. We hang out with our glasses of wine to chat. We can refer to pop culture and even real-life examples of our own ...

Can we take the risk to learn to love even when we don't know how to and come out winning? Beyoncé wave, hello, single ladies! Let's check in on each other, how are you? I'm sending you all social distance hugs and prayers of peace of mind. When asked who my benchmarks in business are, my top three are Oprah, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, and Sir Richard Branson. With compelling back stories, each of these moguls represent my aspirations of money, branding and influence. On my LinkedIn, I make sure that I have a dose of Sir Richard Branson, be it a quote, or his emotional intelligent approach to running his businesses. And who doesn't love a CEO who wears jeans? To quote Sir Richard Branson, "If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes – then learn how to do it later!" That statement is part of my life mantras. I am in the position that I am, not because of adequate college education, but my willingnessto sa...

Friends are mirrors, shadows, at times visions, and sometimes ghosts. - The Real Lady E Let's talk about #squadgoals! I have to confess, I'm actually on season six of 'Pretty Little Liars'. 🙈 My grown self should be ashamed! But it inspired me to get to today's blog. I read a post from xoNecole about friendships. Titled, 'Types of Friends You Should Have In Your 30s', I reverted to my article about being in your 30s. In the blog I shared, " Friendships are like a Coca-Cola bottle, as you grow older you know that you will eventually be at the tip." Friendships are like a Coca-Cola bottle, as you grow older you know that you will eventually be at the tip. Watching season six of PLL, we find the 'girls' falling back into bad habits. I still can't fathom their loyalty to Alison DiLaurentis. They feel like they owe her yet it's her crazy relative who terrorised them all through high school. For young women who are supposed t...

So, I stalked him and read his writings... I'm intrigued! Now don't judge me...I think having so much free time on social media led me to curious lane. You know like that Ne-Yo, "I just wonder, do you ever...", but I'm not wondering about being an afterthought. But I won't lie, with good editing, grammar corrections, some of the 'blogs' are insightful. Well done! 👏 On the other hand, one of my guy friends wants to gift me with dildo. And he's straight! Should I be reading in between the lines? But then again, we aren't friends like that. But this then challenges the whole celibacy thing that I'm on. Like isn't masturbation a form of sex? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of remaining chaste? But bless him, I won't say no, when I receive the gift. And then my work is like scrambled eggs...mixed and all over the place. Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm kind of OCD about organisation. To be honest, I get anxi...

I'm just a mum who doesn't always get it right, but I'm trying. The most insulting thing that you can ever call a woman is a 'bad mother'. Pamela Anderson was once quoted saying, "You can call me names like b*tch, but don't you ever call me a bad mother!" I don't know what the hell is good motherhood. What I'm constantly told is that I'm a 'bad mother' and it's usually from the women close to me. Isn't it ironic, don't you think? In between working from home and the whole #quarantineandchill, I managed to watch 'Bad Moms'. I know, the movie is kind of old, but I watched the sequel prior. I absolutely enjoyed the comparison of mothering skills between two generations around the holidays. Kiki's mum was a fruitcake, Carla's mum a fun, irresponsible drunk, and Amy's mum a critical perfectionist. You see what I just did, as a woman I criticised another (fictional) woman's mothering skills. Po...

What do you say to the god of death? "Not today!" - Arya Stark, Game of Thrones In 1981, news broke that Motown recording artist, Marvin Gaye had passed away. Now it being the first of April, many assumed that it was a hoax, given that it's April Fools day. Not that day! Marvin Gaye was fatally shot by his own father during an altercation. It's the first day of the month during the international lockdown. Locally, we are on day 3, whilst many outside our borders have gone more than a week, some even months. April Fools day is always a great way to have pull off pranks in any space. Social media has taken this day to levels. Sometimes it's funny, at other times people can be so insensitive. But not today! This April Fools, the jokes on us! I am scrolling down my timelines on social media, checking out WhatsApp statuses and talking to people. To be honest, I need a break. With that said, let's join the single ladies shall we? Beyoncé wave, hello ...
