December has always been a special month – Christmas and all the festivity is one I always look forward to.
Not like I ever have a particularly fascinating one but all that excitement and happiness in the air is definitely contagious.
December as a child always brought with it the anticipation of heading back to my home town, to that circus that is my extended family and all the fun that came with it.
It also signals the beginning of a new year for me as my birthday is on the 8th. Yup, I’m a december baby through and through.
Last year, I didn’t ask for much except blog shout outs and some people thought it was weird. Haha
Let’s just say I’m a bit too used to not receiving gifts but I’ve decided to try this birthday wishlist thing again – for the fun of it and because hey! Its another blog post in the bag right?
I’m all feels lowkey, so I’m all for gifts that comes from the heart and I’m forever touched by personalized gifts that shows a lot of thought went into it.
That said, i really want a 50mm Camera Lens and wouldn’t mind a new camera and laptop because mine can’t record videos and I’m tired of blogging with my phone sha *sucks*
– A tripod to make picture taking easier as well.
Books too : especially novels by african authors, poetry books by Nayirah Waheed, Alex Elle, Warsan shire and co and others (Seeking Love, finding overalls by Leandra Medine, Girl Boss. Etc)
I also won’t say no to cake and a good time.
FASHION.
I’m not exactly a beauty fanatic but I never say no to a good beauty enhancer even if its to hoard to a time when I’ll finally learn to use it.
Vane Polish was one of the sponsors of our meet/greet event and I got to finally experience it upfront.
Ever since then, I’ve been wanting one (or two) of my own and I especially love the pretty pastel colours.
I‘m a huge fan of lipsticks especially matte lipsticks. Bright reds, dark purples/vamp lips, kylie’s shade of nude (abi is it brown?).
House of Tara matte range is a cheaper alternative to Mac (which I wouldn’t mind though. Lol)
I’m a bit of a lastma with this, though I knew of the launch of the sleek skincare lightening and exfoilating range, I only just stumbled on some reviews recently and I’m thinking maybe its what my skin needs. That and sunscreen for sure.
I’m a shade darker now and I’m not sure if I’m still team light skinned or now darkskinned. *sigh*
Perfumes are another thing that I absolutely love.
HAPPPY NEW MONTH GUYS!

Chai Kunmi, one yoruba boy like that I used to like is also 18th. Why do you have to share a birthday with him *sigh* lol
At least, now I won't forget your date though. Thank you
I see that list. How can I send you a book you'd like? I'd bake you a cake, but I have a feeling it'd be eaten in customs and/or never make it there.
^_^
It definitely won't make it.
I can send you an address ? ^_^
Happy Birthday in advance!!!
