My first real hiking experience | Hiking Mount Yéyé

I've always loved hiking but never really got the opportunity to do it until last week when a friend suggested I join her hiking group to go up Mt Yéyé. It felt exciting and scary at the same time as I had to make quick arrangements to make the hiking possible. Finding someone to stay with the kids, buying

Glow Up Haul: Unveiling My Latest Beauty Products

Hi guys, hope you are doing well. You may already know that I cut my hair few weeks ago. After I made the decision, I went to the supermarket to buy the products I needed to style my hair after cutting it. I also wanted a product for my face - a cleanser or something like that, I wasn't

Hello guys, hope you are doing well.

Normally, I share a weekly recap, but life got hectic recently, and I missed out on updating for the last three weeks. Let's dive into the highlights of the past weeks, going through each week one by one.

Easter Break Recap: Catching Up on Past Weeks' Highlights

Three Weeks Ago:

At the beginning of the Easter break three weeks ago, I was overjoyed that it had finally arrived. I was more excited about the break than the kids! I relished my lazy mornings in bed and the chance to catch up on some much-needed beauty sleep. I made some tasty beans and ripe plantains that the kids absolutely loved. I also made some foleré or bisap which is a natural drink made from hibiscus flower. I sweetened it naturally and feel so proud of myself because it came out nice.

I read a post on Instagram that talked about the benefits of avocado seeds so I decided to dry the seeds I got from the avocados we ate weeks ago. I sliced them and dried them. I intend to grind it to power and add to my smoothies and tea.

This week I received my items from my kitchen 'njangi' / 'cotisation'. It's a for 18 cubes of soap, and a carton of oil but I asked that some of the soap be exchanged for washing powder because I needed it. If you don't understand what a njangi is I will make a separate post about it to explain. If I explain here it will make this post too long.

This week, I also pondered new ideas for my content creation. I'm contemplating creating more sit-down YouTube videos discussing personal development. However, my wavering thoughts left me feeling overwhelmed and doubting myself.

This mood lingered into the following week, and I found myself lacking the motivation to create new content. Despite this, I cherished my peaceful mornings and rejuvenating beauty sleep. Balancing meal preparation wasn't easy as the kids were home all day, constantly asking for snacks and meals.

I discovered it was mango season this week and I was so excited. It's still expensive though and I bought a few for 500frs to taste. They were yummy and I totally enjoyed them though the enjoyment was shortlived because they were few. I must advise that you use a knife to peel and cut your mangoes before eating because the first mangoes are sometimes bad or infested with insects.

The major highlight of the second week of Easter break was me cutting my hair. I've been wanting to do it for a while now and I thought this was the right time. I will give details of how it went in another post. The following week I did another drastic thing to my hair.

Last Week:

As we entered this current week, it dawned on me that school would be starting soon, with this being the final week before the third term begins. The positive aspect? The term ahead is short, fueling my motivation.

I set resolutions regarding my content creation approach, aiming to offer you all even better content. While the changes might not be immediately noticeable, I'm tweaking things slightly to find the simplest way to deliver top-notch content. Eagerly anticipating the coming week, I look forward with enthusiasm.

And the drastic thing I did to my hair was to color it red. Honestly I wasn't expecting it to be this red but I like it and have received positive comments about it so yes! I feel good about this change and in a more detailed post I'll share with you guys why I decided to cut my hair.

The Easter break has replenished my energy, and I'm ready to tackle what lies ahead, so let's do this!

How was your Easter break? Please share with us in the comments.
