My paintballing experience

On November 2016, for my friend's 22nd birthday we decided to go paintballing. I thought it would be a great adventure, considering it was my first time and something different for a change. But I was wrong because for me it turned out to be such a crazy moment that I wan't ready for. I'm not going to lie, I am competitive but the activity left my body in bruises making me not want to do it again. My advice is leave it to the boys, of course unless your a girl who likes to play rough then I say go for it!!! But other than that I definitely don't regret doing it, one thing that I want to do more of is experience things that I normally wouldn't go for. To try some crazy stuff, that I can say that I did.

Hollywood Bowl Southampton

Southampton friends you're in luck because bowling has landed in our City & I'm here to fill you in with all the gossip on the hottest new activity. Well, it's been a long time coming but Southampton is becoming a social hangout, with all the amazing restaurants opening as part of the West Quay project.


I had the opportunity to attend an amazing event at Hollywood Bowl, where I experienced a great laugh. This was my first ever event & I was super excited, to meet other bloggers. It's been like 3 years since I last went bowling so I totally suck but as the game went on I got better

I definitely recommend taking a trip down to Hollywood Bowl, it's a fun activity for the whole family & is a great spot to hangout this Valentine's day. If you're a huge fan of America, then you'll love the inspired theme. Marilyn Monroe was even there! The food is amazing, especially the popcorn chicken.

Ultimate Goal of 2017!

Hiya Lovelies, feels good to be posting after a while. My first post of 2017, is my motivation to go back to a healthy lifestyle while maintaining the gym, & finally reach my goal.

My intentions this year started of really well because I was dedicated to the gym & following the Slimming World lifestyle well. Unfortunately in the last 5 months, I have been off plan, as I've found myself unmotivated and not going to the gym.

That's in the past, I'm ready to begin 2017 with a new mindset!

The picture on the bottom is me at my lightest eight of 11 stone 6Ibs.Let's do this! P.S don't mind the knickers, they were big on me as I'd lost weight. What are you goals for this year?

Our Dream Destination has arrived!!!

Us Girls deserve our Barbie world. Well I'm excited to announce that one of my favourite online clothes shop has opened it's first flagship store, the Missguided boutique which is based in Manchester opened to the public on the 23rd November in London. The store follows a Mermaid & unicorn theme which inspires girl power. The boutique is one of a kind, it's the perfect place to hang out with your squad. If they held sleepovers in the store I would be there every night. You can't go wrong with diamonds, glitter, pink, unicorns or mermaids. Girls, if you want to treat yourself this Christmas and don't trust yourself shopping online, you know the perfect place to be.  My favourite clothing would have to be the leather because it represents dangerous attitude. 

So what you waiting for, if your in London make your way to Westfield Stratford shopping centre and you won't be disappointed. After all for your own well being follow their motto, Eat, Pray, Slay!!! Can I just mention the tunes played in this store are freakin' bomb, just my style. R'n'B, Rap, cool & collected

Dreamgirls Live!!!

If you know me by now you would know that I am a lover of musicals, which is why when I heard Dreamgirls was coming live to stage, I fell on my knees. Then I heard Glee star, Amber Riley was taking on the role of 'Effie,' that made me even more excited. On the 28th November 2016 with one of my bestie's Elyce, I had the privilege of experiencing one of my favourite musicals. Dreamgirls. Everything about it was beautiful, everyone suited their part really well. Other than the gorgeous Amber Riley, my favourite character to watch was 'Jimmy Early' who was portrayed by Adam J Bernard he has such a great voice and gave me laughs throughout the whole performance.

Coming from an African background it was great to see people of colour taking the centre stage, because let's be honest in theatre there aren't many roles written for people of colour. Okay moving on to Amber Riley she slayed her role, couldn't be more happier for her. Her energy, enthusiasm, attittude was brought to life that even the audience were giving a standing ovation throughout the performance. Not once was there a dull moment, my eyes were peeled to the stage. There is no criticism to be made, only wish they included 'I love you I do' which is one of my favourite songs.
If your planning on traveling to London and would like recommendations on what places to visit, I recommend the theatre, and Dreamgirls especially because I'm not sure how long it will be running for. So now all I have to do is convince my bank account to buy another ticket, so I can watch it AGAIN NEXT YEAR!

Okay so totally didn't expect to bump into the cast at the end of the show but they were so lovely and even took a picture with me. This is Liisi LaFontaine who plays 'Beyonce's part' Deena. Was unable to get one Amber Riley but still managed to catch her presence. #Dreamgirl for life.

Body Goals

It's approaching towards the end of June, which means it's Summertime (well sort of) & I am pushing for my 2 stone award through July. What's really getting me in the mood for gym lately is my Body inspirations. Got to love Dinah Jane, Jordyn Woods & Jordin Sparks. I have many more that I crush on but these girlies are my latest beauty obsessions. Of course I have my own body, but these beauties make me want to push harder for the figure I admire. They all resemble curvy in some sort of way and have a slim waistline.

5 things I did to survive my 1st year of uni

Hey everyone how's it going? So finally finished my 1st year of uni and thought I would share my thoughts for people who were wondering what's it like living away from home

1) Cooking
I am part of the Slimming World group, so I have learnt to cook all my own meals. When I was living at home I was so used to my mother cooking for me. But following recipes online and reading packet instructions has made me realize that cooking is quite easy. I enjoy doing it and definitely will have to try and persuade my mum to let me cook a meal for the family. My favourite meal that I have made has to be the prawn special fried rice, I'm a lover of Chinese Takeaway, so it's definitely a healthier alternative. Also easy meals such as boiled plantain and super noodles have become regulars in my diet. Super filling and free on my diet plan.

2) Find a hobby
I study Magazine Journalism, and in my 1st year it has been quite steady. I was only doing about 8 hours a week. So when I wasn't in Uni I would spend my other time at the gym or working at GBK. It just makes it easier as a routine and you find yourself less in your room. My 2nd term of uni was really quiet, especially during the Easter break where I decided to stay in Southampton. As work wasn't as busy I found myself with less hours and all my friends had left to spend Easter with their families. I definitely recommend joining a society or having a job, just make yourself part of something so you don't find yourself sleeping or constantly in the books 24/7.

3) Limiting my money
I know this sounds like a pain, especially to those are spendaholics. It's helps if you spend your money on things you need rather than want. Obviously if you have a job that's a different story, you can spend your money however you like. But what saved me into not going into overdraft (like a few of my friends) is surviving on £20 a week for weekly shopping. because I cooked batch meals, it wasn't a problem for me, I didn't mind having the same breakfast, lunch & dinner throughout the whole week. As it meant I didn't have to worry about cooking if I was tired or snack out of place because my food was taking long to cook.

4) Handing in my assignments on time
Okay I admit I am guilty, one of my assignments was handed in late but other than that I manged to meet the deadlines. Getting it out the way means you have less to worry about.

5) Visiting the family
It's natural to get homesick. This is what happened with me, so I made trips to London two times while I was at uni for the 8 months period. I was lonely sometimes and being around the family reminded me of why I am doing this.
