Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. Hello my lovelies! Today I will be showing how to make Nigerian/West African swallow . This, a healthier version of fufu, semi, garri and so on. You get the gist. It's very straightforward and you won't break bank or your wallet. Ingredients : Oats. Water. Appliances : blender, turning garri (gaskiya, I've forgotten the English name for this appliance, I think it's wooden spatula), clean pot and heat. Add equal parts of oats and water into your blending jug and blend till it is a smooth paste. If you like it rough don't make it overly smooth. I don't like sufferhead so I blend until it is very smooth. Transfer the mixture/paste into a lot and place it on medium heat (fire). Use the wooden spatula to turn the mixture (almost as if you're making Quaker oats). At this point, DO NOT ADD WATER OR EXTRA OATS. Keep turning. You can redu

A fool uttereth l all his mind: but a wise man keepeth m it in till afterwards. -Proverbs 29:11 KJV Hey guys! Nowadays we are all working from home, and I've had to adapt to a productive routine working from home. I find myself waking up at 5 am, which according to some experts is a healthy morning routine . It's indeed a welcome change, and I've learnt to make the most of my extra awake time. In this blog post I am sharing my 5 am morning routine with you, which some months ago would have had me rolling with laughter. I try my best to maximize every minute of the day, and get more work done. It also helps that the sun rises pretty early here at 4 am sometimes, and other times at minutes past 5 am. Personally, from my experience I think the secret to gettingup early is sleeping early. 5 AM: Wake up, and lay in bed for a bit. I like to dress my bed once I get out of it, it keeps me calm and organized . On some days I drink my lemon and water, on other days I make s

Quote of the Day: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.- 2 Chronicles 7:14. My friends!!!!! I am back again today with a sought after post, work from home outfits featuring loungewear.  I received some loungewear  from  FemmeLuxe !  It is not news that are all staying at home. However, it is for a good reason. Most of us are pretty occupied with either work or academic pursuits, or both while in our loungewear. In today's stay at home series, I'm sharing what I wear to stay at home nowadays. Working from home this quarantine/isolation period had me in denim bumshorts (channeling my  inner Beyonce HBCU  performance), my black leggings, and flimsy house tops. These outfits were kindly supplied by Femme Luxe. The items I have picked out are truly feminine, and will had me feeling like a stay at h

Quote of the day : " If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! "- Luke 6:32.
