Double Denim -Hot or Not

"Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant,  then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all peop,e: for all the earth is mine Exodus 19:5"


Hello everyone,  hope your week is great, thank God for all the days of the week and yes its another weekend, time to do what you love with family and friends. 

Double denim, whats your take on it? Hot or Not, pls let me know your thoughts. 

The double denim trend is back thanks to 90s grunge-inspired fashion, but is it a welcome blast from the past with plenty to offer us jean-lovers, or a fashion minefield that’s just waiting to blow your stylish reputation sky-high?




The rules of double denim
Get the fit right. No matter how hot-off-the-catwalk your look is, if it doesn’t fit and flatter your body, it won’t do you any favours. The fact that this trend features jeans makes it even more vital to get the fit spot on, but it also makes it easy to do. Just look to a fashion retailer that offers denim in a wide range of sizes, and tailor your choice to your shape. 
Don’t be tempted to add any more blue! Accessorise with a bag and shoes that stand out against the denim.
Wear with attitude. This look is not for shy retiring types, especially going head-to-toe in the same hue. You may well get cowboy comments and you WILL get attention, so slip on a pair of heels and enjoy the limelight with a smile. Weather permitting, a pair of oversized sunnies will give you an A-list air that’s sure to boost your confidence.








Trying out the trend
If you love the idea of double denim but don’t know where to start, try teaming a denim jacket in one colour with jeans in another. The effect is a catwalk-inspired finish but in a very subtle, wearable way. We love black jeans with a light-wash denim jacket: just add a plain white tee, elongate your legs by matching your black jeans with a pair of black heels, and you’re good to go.
Turn to patterns to mix things up. Printed jeans teamed with a plain denim jacket will give you a fun, simple way to work the latest catwalk prints and double denim, for even more style points.

"Let your speech be always seasoned with grace,  seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man Colossians 3:6'











Hello everyone,  hope your week was great,  mine was well a bit lol, its been a while I know but I do promise to blog more often.  Sometimes I have to do it while the kids are asleep especially at night that way I am not distracted.


Most times people do things to get approval from their other people, they feel a lil bit secured infact happy when other people commend them or when they are being told what they are doing is right, especially on social media, we are happy when we get so many likes on instagram,  or facebook, we are delighted when we see people following us too. Kids do things to get their parents approval, so also employees do things to get their employers approval. Trust me its all good but when we shift our attention to wanting to please men and get their approval then something is wrong.

What do we do to get God's approval? Are we more interested in getting a man's approval other than God's? Do we do good deeds for men to see us? Or do we do it regardless of who is watching us? When you have God's approval the sky is just your starting point.  You don't need an 'holier than thou' attitude to get God's approval, He said come unto me as you are. Do my will, follow me and I will show you great and mighty things. The same way we are happy when we get likes for when we post pictures,  the same way God is happy when we do what He wants us to do, the same way He is hzppy when we pray, fast, give unto others,  treat others as we want to be treated.

Get God's approval today and you would be glad you did.

Now to my outfit, thank God Spring is here time to bring out vibrant colours, this time I wore a yellow swing dress one thing I love about this dress its kinda flowy, gives room for jumping or rather running round with the kids lol but not with my heels though haha, paired it with my favourite blue platform shoes. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Print Charming

'For thou shall break forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited Isaiah 54:3'








Hello everyone, hope you are doing great, lovely week I must say. Been a bit busy with Seville who constantly needs my attention well they are do really lol.



I can't stop giving God all the glory for where I am now, for my family its been God and Him alone, I am not here by accident and so are you, He said I know the thoughts I have concerning you thoughts of peace and you give us an expected end. God is always, always on time no matter what. Let me tell you a lil bit of what He did for me.

When I was a lil bit younger I had this habit of writing down who I wanted to be, what I wanted to do especially what I wanted God to do for me and each time I keep going back to my diary to tick prayers He has answered and all. I did write I wanted to start my own business infact I even had a name for it, I always said I would use my first child's name, I wrote down what kind of man I would want to get married to, how many kids I would have etc. So when God started answering my prayers I was so excited now when it came to my kids I did write I wanted 3 kids two girls and a boy but when I started giving birth to them I wanted to stop at just 2 even though my husband wanted 3. When I got pregnant the thrid time believe me I wasnt expecting it cos I was oh no I only wanted 2, well God took me back to my diary and said 'oh Esther you asked for 3 remember why do you want to stop at just 2' I said to myself well that was what I wrote then so I should be grateful and right from when I was pregnant I knew without us checking what sex the  baby would be, I wanted a boy and my Deltan King wanted a girl I was like 'baby so you want to be surrounded by women' lol. When the time we went for a scan and the sonographer was checking all the vital organs of the baby I was anxiously waiting for her to tell me what we were having, I kept asking her she would say please hold on, and when she finally told us, I screamed 'YES'.

With this I know definitely for sure God would do what He says He will do in your life, has He said it shall He not bring it to pass. Just hold on and hang on, to people it might be late for you but to God who is the giver of all good gifts is working something great for you. So get up, rise up, chin up, face forward, lift up your hands and thank Him for all those things He has done and what He is yet to do. 

See you at the top.

For my outfit decided to try out a playsuit, yes this is my first one lol, love the fact that one can dress it up or down, I added my yellow blazer and oh yes my lovely leopard print shoes and clutch. I have been waiting to get the perfect leopard print shoes and when I saw this on Matalan's website I was delighted. Designed by two top British designers Philip Amstrong and Tony Burke.

Enjoy the pics.

Meet Seville, My Deltan Prince

"Bless the Lord O my soul, O  Lord my God, thou art very great: thou art clothed with honourand majesty Psalm 104:1"









Hi every, how are you all doing?  Its been a long while, yes that I know, the last stages of my pregnancy was a bit stressful, was tired practically all the time, running around 2 toddlers, but I give God all the glory couldn't have it any other way.



Some weeks before I gave birth, went to see my consultant and was given a date for a Csection because I had Sienna and Sachi through Csection and thought it wise to do same for this baby. Sienna was was born through an emergency Csection, while Sachi was an elective one, oh yes I actually picked a date lol and it was the same for my Deltan Prince too. Enough of the long talk let me formally introduce to you the latest addition to my family, his name is Seville Onoriode Gbudje born 17th March and he weighed 8pounds 4ounces. I want to give God all the glory for safe delivery, he is doing great and I am too. His sisters can't seem to get enough of him, they keep giving him hugs and kisses especially Sachi, something funny happened when their dad brought them to see Seville at the hospital, immediately Sachi saw him she shut her eyes, didn't want to talk to me, couldn't look at her brother either, guess she was jealous and she thought oh well this is for real now lol. Now he is here let the blogging continue lol.













And thanks to everyone for their lovely comments and messages, I really appreciate it. God bless you all.



Enjoy your day


Lots of love


xoxo

Age Gap, Does It Matter?



Dealing with a big age difference in a relationship is never easy. You can't help who you fall in love with and it happens to be with someone older, so what? Below, I'm going to detail out some of the tips to handle a big age difference in a relationship so that you can truly learn that a relationship with a major age difference isn't a big deal. So ladies, let's see how to handle big age differences in a relationship!

1. AGE IS A NUMBER

One of the first things that you must remember when you're dealing with big age differences in a relationship is age is just a number. It doesn't define you. You could be 21 and be as mature as a 30 year old. It all depends on your personality and the personality of your partner. That doesn't mean that big age differences in a relationship is easy to handle, but just keep in mind that the age is just a number.


2. BE AWARE OF DIFFERENT GENERATIONS
One of the challenges that you will face when you have big age differences in a relationship is different generations. Truthfully, this all depends on how big of a generation gap there is. Are we talking 10 or 15 years? That could be hard to handle, but again, it all depends on the personality. Maybe someone that is 15 years older than you is willing to learn all about your generation if you're willing to teach them.

3. CONCENTRATE ON COMMON INTERESTS
Why are you in a relationship that has huge generation gaps? Well, it's probably because you have some really good common ground right? This is what you should be concentrating on. After all, that's the reason to be in a relationship in the first place right?


4. BE IN THE RELATIONSHIP FOR THE RIGHT REASONS
Never, ever should you be in any relationship for the wrong reasons. Is the man that you're with rich? Are you dating him just because of that? Don't. That is not right and truthfully, it can make you look bad in the end.

5. TREAT THIS RELATIONSHIP AS ANY OTHER
When you have big age differences in a relationship, you don't want to treat it as a special relationship, in fact, you should be treating this relationship as any other. After all, it is right? No matter how much of an age difference there is.


6. MAKE SURE THE CONNECTION IS STRONG
As with any relationship, you always want to make sure that the connection you and your boyfriend have is really strong. This is especially true in relationships with big age gaps though. After all, you are fighting through things like generation gaps and even controversy and having a strong connection will make it all worth it in the end.

7. BE CONFIDENT

Finally, be confident in the choice that you made. If you love an older man, don't be ashamed of it. You are the only person who can decide who you date and spend time with and if that happens to be someone older, so be it!
As you can see ladies, there are tons of different ways you can deal with a big age difference in a relationship. You just have to make sure that you understand, a big age difference in a relationship is tough to handle, in the beginning, but as people get used to your relationship, it will get easier. With that said, have you ladies ever been in a relationship with a wide age gap? Tell me about it!
