We Need To talk.
How do you break the ice? Is it just me or does ‘We need to talk‘ have the tendency to send shivers down your spine. Yesterday was Mother’s day and I spent part of my day at Mum’s. It was nice to have some mum cooked meal, relax and go through my old stuff. I took a nap and some minutes after I woke up, my mum said ‘Mum, we need to talk’. (fun fact: my mummy calls me mummy). I sat up immediately with a million and one thoughts going through my mind. Did something happen? Bad news? Did someone kick the bucket? Not for once did I think it…

A Mother's Love
Isn’t is awesome that we have celebrated women 3 times already this year? We cannot just have enough days to appreciate Mother’s. Like glue they stick when you are blue. Like the moon they illuminate in the dark. While we celebrate today, my thought and prayers goes out to anyone who lost their mum in one way or the other, i pray for strength to every striving single mum and women taking up the role as guardians to the orphans. It is never easy even with the support of the man. This is why we must appreciate every female playing the Mother role as well. For Mother’s day, i have…

5 Things I Can Afford At The Moment.
Woohoo!!! It’s finally friday….. Are you excited the weekend is here? Got plans? Attending a wedding? Party? Shopping? Hair day? Meal prep? One of the reason i look forward to friday is being able to stay awake longer than normal and not bother about having a drab Saturday morning. You? Talking about shopping, what do you want so much right now but your bank statement is giving you a ‘side eye’..and asking, you really want to get that? Like right now? Just this morning, a friend and I talked about the new Samsung Galaxy S8. That phone is sleek and I totally feel like I want (not need) an upgrade.…

#WordSearchSeries #10: Ginormous + PDA on Social Media
Hi Lovelies, It is hump day and I am hoping we have been feeding only positive thoughts so far. It is no longer news that i tilt towards a lot of positivity and mindfulness so when I ran into the wake up call with kevin, I had to dig out all the posts that resonated with my interest. …and voila!!! We found a word that caught our attention waiting patiently in this piece -> ‘when the views became bigger‘. Do check out the post if you have some time. For #WordSearchSeries today, the word is GINORMOUS. Sounds like Enormous yea? Well, if you think so then you should see this: Ginormous means:…

Reflections: 5 Lessons The AtoZ Challenge Taught Me.
Hi Lovelies, Are we ready for the new week? If you have been frequent on Phaytea’s Pulse, you must know by now that we participated in the #AtoZ writing challenge in April. (Hopefully, I don’t have to mention it again after this post..I’m beginning to sound like a broken record??). After conquering that quest, it is only normal for me to ask and answer questions to help me reflect. Will I like to participate next year? Will I want to join another challenge this year? Did I learn new things? Did the challenge improve my writing? All the questions definitely get a big YES. For the importance of asking yourself…

Phayview#4: Mind Voices And Body Goals
Hi hi… Having a good day? It is another lovely (rainy) sunday morning, that means I get to share amazing reads, links and videos i am currently loving. If you missed the previous shares, please see Phayview#1 , Phayview#2 and Phayview#3 What does your inner speech say to you? Which thoughts do you feed? With the number of voices in our head giving us both negative and positive ideas, it has become somewhat difficult to control our thought process and focus solely on the positives. Did I say somewhat? It is actually very difficult and we need a constant ‘positive vibes only’ reminder. That is why i found this post -》 Two wolves fighting for Supremacy very…

Comment Travails: 3 cringe worthy moments.
Hi Lovelies, Having a good day? I spent the better part of my lunch time trying to meet up my goals for the blog like I mentioned in Pulse for May 2017. That means I actually visited, followed and commented on some blogs today without threads and referrals. It felt nice, i was not under any obligation, I read some really lovely content and got ideas too. The problem started when I had to drop a comment. Sigh…. Imagine this scenario… You know when you really enjoyed reading a post, you go ahead to type some really nice feedback, type in the required name and email address (if you are…

WordSearchSeries#9: Grotesquely + Interracial Relationships.
Hi hi…. Oh…how I’ve missed sharing new words on Wednesday #WordSearchSeries. We went on a break all April because of the #AtoZChallenge but we are back and we aim to please. Today on #WordSearchSeries, we found Grotesquely and we found it while reading Ladieswholunchreviews, a blog that participated in the #AtoZChallenge as well. Grotesquely is one of those words I see but never use. I saw it again on the first of April 2017 and decided it was time to check the meaning. Here’s what I found out: Depending on the statement, it can be used as an adjective – Grotesque For example, Jim Carrey found the grotesque mask in The Mask Movie.…

Pulse for May 2017
Hi Lovelies, It’s a new month already? Is it me or is this year going by really fast? The first of May is Workers day in Nigeria so that means a day off work. I totally love public holidays and I got to spend my day at the movies watching Smurfs. (yea yea..i had my little bride come to the house for a sleep over so we had to pick a ‘kid friendly’ movie). I am also really excited about May because it’s my birth month too. Not yet sure about what plans I’ll have. My birthday falls on a Monday and to really have a good time I should…
