Hey beautiful people! A happy August to you and yours. We're still in the first 3 days of the month so I'm allowed to wish you a happy new month. It can only get better, believe it. August is another special month for me because it marks somethig quite special in my life. My blog would be a year old on the 6th and I'm just amazed at how far its come along.

I've been going through quite a lot lately(who isn't.lol) its been a series of ups and downs but what's life without them ey?

I feel I should do a life lately post in a taking stock format because that's the best way I can express myself at the moment. I'm kinda short of words but let's do this!

Making: plans to start up my own business. I just have a draft of what I would want it to look like. Still working on it.



Eating: Popcorn. A lot of popcorn! I guess that's my new stress reliever.

Drinking: Lukewarm water(ordinary water). I gave up on cold water because it makes my tummy look bloated.

Reading: This Is Lagos and other stories by Flora Nwapa. I actually abandoned the poor book in my handbag for about a week now because I've not been in a really good mood.

Wanting: a digital camera so bad! And more lipsticks. I don't understand it but I just want more.

Playing: old school jams. Been listening to Stevie Wonder a lot lately.



Watching: Michelle Obama's speech at the DNC over and over again. I really admire her charisma and carriage.

Wishing: I could go on vacation right now! If you follow me on Snapchat(@evee_evita) you already know. I miss my sister and her kids. Haven't seen them in a year.

Enjoying: music. Sounds cliche but I'm really enjoying my new playlist.

Loving: my new laptop. I was gifted with a laptop last weekend. Thank YOUUUU!!! 😉

Hoping: for a productive month. And a vacation.

Marveling: at the way my nieces are growing so fast! It's amazing. Looking at them makes me realize that I really am getting old.

Wearing: my baby pink turtleneck sweater and blue skinny jeans. I need more turtleneck tops though.

Impressed: by my hair growth. I recently did the big chop and I'm happy with the progress I've made so far.

Feeling: so much uncertainty. I'm quite unsettled but I'll figure my way around this feeling by God's grace.

Listening: to Signed, sealed, delivered by Stevie Wonder.

That's it guys. I really hope August brings a lot of good news. And thanks for sticking around! It's been almost a year. I'll definitely have a new post up on the 6th.

Gotta go! Stay happy and keep shining.

xo, Evita.
