Taking Stock || November Notes x Recap.

Wow! Its december already?! Where did the year go? 2016 has to be the fastest year ever but I’m not complaining at all. Lol.

December happens to be one of my favourite months because it ushers in a new year and that feel of starting afresh that comes with it. It also happens to be my birth month and three years ago, it became my relationship anniversary month too (I did this on purpose though haha).

November was an awesome month for me, majorly because I finished my first posting ( read all about my first three months of housemanship/med life here) and went on leave from work. I was really looking forward to my leave and having some time to handle my own business fully.
I’m taking stock of the past month again so let’s get right to that!

Making : Lots of phone calls to my printing person and probably frustrating him with them. I promise I don’t micro manage people lol.

Eating : Pineapple. Sometime early this year, the mallams that sell fruits in a wheel barrow found a permanent spot in my area and since then, pineapple has been a regular night time chow in my house.


Playing : Travis Greene’s the hill and made a way, Simi and Falz chemistry and William McDowell’s my heart sings. I listen to those five songs on repeat almost every day. Travis Greene gives me so much life guyss, it’s unreal!

Reading : Toke Makinwa’s – On becoming. Actually done reading it but that was the last book I read, so I guess it counts. It’s amazing how much people are going through, especially people we might be envying and wishing to be more like. People are out here going through crazy stuff! I’m really glad that she’s finally healing and has moved on.

Knowing : That this life is not a competition but a personal journey.

Wanting : Some outfits from Moofa Designs. A Nigerian womenswear brand that I’ve known about for ages now but didn’t really pay attention to till I modelled for them recently. I did a lookbook shoot for their recent collection that was showcased at LFDW and almost all the pieces were seriously calling my name. I really wouldn’t mind owning one.

Wondering : If I should do a birthday wishlist post and If I would ever have a surprise party. Actually scratch that, I don’t think I would ever have one and I’ve sort of accepted that already. Doesn’t stop my mind from straying to it every now and then though.

Hoping : That I get posted to a good unit with non toxic superiors/people when I resume work. My friend got posted to neurosurgery (only the most stressful unit ever!) and has already started her counting down to the end right from the day she resumed. Lol!

Loving : This invitation card to a fashion/shopping event on saturday by Style hub Ng. The illustration is by Tolu Peters and although I had already seen it before on instagram, I definitely wasn’t expecting a printed copy attached to my invite (actually printed at the back the main invite). It was a pleasant surprise and a really creative one.

Excited : For a blogger trip I’ll be going on this month!

Marvelling : Again! At how talented Kachi Eloka is. Blogged about her on the blog here.

Wearing : Oversized print shirt, turn up denim pants and a slippers from lucy daves. Basically my everyday style like I talked about in this post. Should I do a post on my print shirt collection? It’s in my drafts already sha lol

Thinking : About my train trip to Abeokuta tomorrow, itinerary and looking forward to the mini adventure. 

Opening : Emailsssssss! And feeling good doing that because they are blog planner pre-order emails. Keep them coming guys! Go check out all the pre-order details here.

Feeling : Thankful! I was reading my January recap post earlier today and feeling so thankful for the year I’ve had and for making it this far.
