Currently living on Youtube... come squat with me!

You know how in my last post I said I've been watching tons of Youtube videos? I've found Shirley B Eniang, GabeBabeTV and a few other awesome people. Maybe I'll update this list later.
Anyway, here's what I'm currently watching. It's such a fun video to watch, and you already know how I feel about sharing all the fun stuff I find. Plus her story is so similar to mine! I think you'll love it. Let it play while you're doing the dishes, folding the laundry, eating lunch...whatever. You'll thank me later ;)

Enjoy!


EDIT: Updated list:

1) Meet Vicky Logan. She's fun and easy to love. I first wasn't sure how I felt about her because the first video I watched of her felt like she was uncomfortable being on Youtube. I remember thinking "so why are you on here if you don't want to be?". In retrospect, I think it might have been my mood that day because she's definitely awesome. I'm not going to try to get on her level make-up wise, but at least, I'll drool over her #MOTD occasionally. It surely doesn't hurt her my love for her that she's Christian and is a young and married person.  She does style/makeup videos and also Vlogs.
2) Shirley B Eniang. Shirley is Nigerian and Ghanian and lives in the U.K. I like her accent, her speech's pace, her obsession with white and I love her relatively minimalistic style. She doesn't have as many videos as I'd love, but I binge watched all I could find in two weeks.
3) Gabe and Babe TV. I like this style of vlogging for my 'house-chore and chill' moments. When I need to sort laundry or clean my room and need something nicer than music but not quite at T.V show to watch, I watch them. There's also naturalme4c (not pictured). She was my go-to-person when I had natural hair. She (natural me 4c) and her husband Ty also make hilarious videos... check them out! 

4) SisiYemmie : She's Nigerian and amazing and her life is fun to watch. Her blog was my first find. I think I love her because she's doing what I'd love to do with my life - chilling and blogging and get paid for it. 
5) Lynnjaphet: She's also Nigerian.  I can't remember why I followed her, but she has good content.  "Lynnjaphet" is her Instagram handle, that's what I call her in my head, so that's how I'm choosing to introduce her. On Youtube she's Tosin Alabi .
6) Chanel Boateng : A case of my friend (who also blogs) talked about her so much that I just had to check her out. Turns out she's a Youtube Natural. Plus she's my plus-size body confidence booster for the days when I'm more fat than in-between #TeamForecverChangingWeight.
7) Ndani Real Talk. Cornelia O' Dwyer (the show's host) has a face that helps me pick out my new hairstyles (she's the one with cornrows in the middle). I know it's silly, but that's the first reason I started lurking through her Instagram. Then I found a post about the show, watched the first episode of this show and I was am hooked.
So those are a few of my favourite Youtube people :)

The Ontario Christian and 2015 sex-ed changes

I don’t know if it’s too many classes in sociology of religion, human sexuality, and the likes of these that have made my opinions significantly different from friends with whom I share other opinions. But since I am yet to find a ground comfortable enough for my Jesus loving self and freedom of expression celebrating side to stand, I write. One of our pastors was /is pretty furious at the recent changes to Ontario’s sex education laws. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, let’s take a moment to update you . When it finally loads, please scroll down to view the juice of it. Now that you get the idea, my question to my friends has been what makes this wrong from a non-Christian POV? Given that the entire population is not Christian, why would you expect the laws not to favor the non-Christians as well? If you absolutely detest homosexuality as a religious command and have a religious responsibility to train up your child in the way of God, I expect that you would teach y...

Acknowledging Privilege

You know one thing that comes with looking at old things with new eyes? Interesting discoveries!   For those of you who do not know, I have been in Nigeria for thirteen days and I will be here till the end of the year. So, I’m writing about what it feels like to go back home after half a decade. I already said in my last post that everything seems familiar except that it isn’t. And by that I meant that I’m now noticing things that have probably always been there, but had managed to go unnoticed. Every time I notice something, I wonder if I'm thinking and acting like a foreigner in my own motherland. It's a weird feeling. But it is what it is; I've been out of touch.  Let's move to today's story. One night last week, Oye knocked on my door because she had been sent to get something called a “ruler”.  Oye is the amazing maid, who really has been my right hand person. She's been helping me relearn the art of crossing Lagos streets, perfecting my haggli...

I promise, I promise..

Picture perfect. Those were the words most of my guests had described my wedding day as. I might as well have been dipped in diamonds. I glowed from head to toe. Vera Wang had custom made my wedding dress to perfection. So much that Louis (my ever broke friend who had turned gay because he just couldn't deal with girlfriends and their extravagantness) became a believer in my one occasion dress that was worth a lifetime of savings for many. My amazing aunt had provided Dink and I with Audi's latest model as a "small" wedding present. Dink had just gotten promoted and was now fourth in command of my father's multi-million dollar company. Yes, we were more than able to afford the mansion we called home in Banana Island. I broke my hymen in grand style in Burj Al Arab, Dubai. My cheeks now burn as I remember how hard it was to convince Dink that my "cookie" wouldn't decay from being in the jar for so long! Ha those days were...hmm, words just w...
