Hello,
Just call me Bae ..lol, I am just a simple Nigerian lady who lives in the UK and looking forward to what life has to offer.
I am so excited to finally post stuff on here. I started this blog years back but never posted anything, not sure why but maybe I needed to make sure what I had to say would make sense to some extent and hopefully affect others positively. I will be sharing different thoughts and stories occasionally (life experiences) so lets see how this goes. One thing is for certain, I still have a lot of questions to ask about life so I may have occasional rant sessions on here so please bear with me.
For me it is all well and good to have a blog that talks about Fashion, Beauty, Health and all etc but I think the most important thing is neglected which is the state of the Mind and Soul. So my question to you today is " What is really going on inside you?".
Are you passing through life or is life passing through you? I know we all have highs and lows but are we really taking care of our minds? What are you feeding yourself? I personally struggled with a wrong mind-set growing up, this was because I moved around a lot a growing up (different states, schools, friends etc) this affected my confidence with a lot of things. I am still a work in progress but I have indeed come a long way in my years of experience. I find that it is always good to start by making a list of how you plan to grow yourself and take care of your mind. For me, what's more important is how to develop the zeal to stick to building yourself so I simply just set a timer on my phone to remind myself of what I am supposed to be doing if not I will definitely forget...
I know for a fact we all get so busy and distracted with life we forget to take care of what really matters, we need to learn to appreciate the simple things e.g you have a nose to breathe, fact that your mouth still works and you can drink water, family, health, a job, friendships etc.
I have listed below a few steps that works for me in this journey of getting my mind right, look through and make sure to make a personal list to get yourself a healthy mind-set. I know its not going to be that simple but its never too late to start.

"As a man thinks in his heart so is he"
Proverbs 23:7
Are you passing through life or is life passing through you? I know we all have highs and lows but are we really taking care of our minds? What are you feeding yourself?

I have listed below a few steps that works for me in this journey of getting my mind right, look through and make sure to make a personal list to get yourself a healthy mind-set. I know its not going to be that simple but its never too late to start.
- Cultivate the habit of enjoying your company.
- Drink loads of water (Sound silly right? Trust me it makes a difference even though i think water tastes boring)
- Reflect and focus on positive things (Pick a positive statement and keep re-affirming it- personalise it)
- Read 1 book a week (Interest based)
- If religious, read your bible and meditate on it daily (Even i still struggle but may God bless our hustle oh lol)
- Exercise weekly (This is currently so hard for me especially when hummingbird bakery is next to my office *rolls eyes* but i will survive)
- Know that the world will always have an opinion about everything but its okay to be different.
- Ask questions and be ok when you don't get all the answers
- Enjoy the simple things in life like taking a walk, hanging out with family & friends etc.
- Never give up on your hobby/get a hobby if you don't have one already.
- Be humble and open minded.
Finally, I will leave you with a song I have been listening to lately, this gets me through the day no matter the situation.
Be good.
Live, laugh and love.
Just Bae
