Every obstacle has a beginning and an end. The higher you go the tougher the obstacles you face. But keep going because when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

While cooking today, I thought of giving an update on my urban hom garden. 

Containers are changed, soil remixed and new seeds are planted. It's a mixture of many plants - there are even pawpaw seeds germinating 😆

Everything looks new. And clean. It feels good to start afresh.

In the cause of exploring, I came across the Facebook page of a Cameroonian blogger living in Germany called Nelle-Stern and in one of her videos, she mentioned something important. She said some people have to worry about what they will eat, where they will sleep and other basic necessities of life before they can think of innovating for their society to move forward. Meanwhile, there are others who do not have to worry about their basic needs and therefore have more time to focus on innovating and moving forward.

She added that this calls us to stay focused and not be distracted if we find ourselves in a situation where we have to provide for our basic needs before we think of innovating.

I feel so touched by this message because it requires double the effort to succeed when you lack basic necessities in life. It requires more determination and motivation. And it's easy to be distracted especially by social media and the "buzz" we hear or see every day. 

Remember that we don't have time to waste especially when we are not privileged or have certain advantages in life. Yes, we need to relax too but let's not be distracted.

Just like this time when I needed a hair wash after almost two months of having my extensions on. My hair was really dirty and I'm glad the saloon owner really took the time and precautions to get my hair well washed. 

As you can see in the picture, I used my Green Life Bate Products to wash and oil my hair and these products are really great. You can read my full review by clicking here.

I did cornrows or 'bakala' as we locally call it because this weekend I'm attending a wedding and I'm going to be wearing a wig. I would have loved to do 'rasta' but "ma money no reach" lol. So it's a wig for the weekend. 

These past days have not been easy without my phone so I decided to go in for the option to weld the charging port. I wish I didn't have to do it but I'm glad I did because I can get back to creating and posting content on my other platforms. It's a temporal solution because I still intend to change the charging port to a new one. 

The first thing I ran into after having my phone back was what Omoni Oboli said about Cameroonian Jollof. Her post is annoying and insulting but I'm glad about two things. First of all, I'm happy that Cameroonians didn't sit quiet about this. They spoke up and are still speaking about it. It shows that no matter the respect and esteem we as Cameroonians have for you we will respond when we feel attacked or insulted. The second thing is that we are trending, or Cameroonian Jellof is trending. It's a good thing because as far as I know, Nigerian Jollof gets its respect from the over-hype and not from its taste. 

That said, I hope you are making the most of your weekend. As for me I only discovered this morning that today is Saturday. LOL

It's annoying and not easy to be patient. But I have to do just that as I pray that it gets fixed soon.

That said, I hope you are doing well. Take care.

Apart from me feeling better, I hope you are doing well and that all is well with you on your end. 

Not being able to use my phone as often as I did force me to lean back and watch more TV. It also made me do some things I have been putting aside for later like organising products for my businesses - Ngumis and Bouncing Babies CMR.

These days I've been trying to do as much work as I can on my computer. My phone is at the centre of my content creation as I need it to take pictures/videos and edit and upload content.  

Hopefully, my phone gets fixed today because the last time, I was told the part that needs to be changed which is the charging port of the phone wasn't available. I was given the option to use a cheaper method of welding the charging port which is bad but I don't think that is a solution that will last. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the new charging port is available at the repairer.
