Sin? Unforgiveness? Material possession? Hurt? Hatred? Procrastination?

Ooppss! I did it again

Hello Fashionistas,

This weekend is yours! We're talking fashion and style today.

Before that, let me tell you a little something about me. "I was that very quiet, withdrawn little girl who enjoyed her privacy and still do. In those alone moments of mine, i draw (yea, it's one of my childhood past times) until i got discouraged by no other than my dad (he's not reading this i'm sure). That's the reason i never took my innate drawing talent any serious rather i took to daydreaming...Lol
In my uni days, i picked it up and started making sketches of clothes on a paper. I actually had a fashion look-book until i dropped it again. Blame it on me this time...

The best encouragement i got with my sketching was from @seunZ avoiR and @NOD (they are great designers, please follow them on Instagram) when i did the sketch below. Seun suggested i go into fashion illustration and make some bucks. Mehn! I had to hit Google immediately to understand what she was talking about (no shame please) while NOD designed the coral floral dress that i wore to my cousin's wedding. The brooch part was omitted  but i can always accessorize with one.

For Those Who Feel Unloved This Valentine's Day

The Valentine holiday of love is here, and for many, Valentine’s Day means feeling forgotten or unloved or lonely. The love theme behind this day can get buried under all the pressure, expectations, and mixed emotions.

Stephanie Rische, in her post “For Anyone Who Feels Underloved on Valentine’s Day,” says: “If this is a hard holiday for you, I won’t pretend there are any magic words that will make it easier. But I want to say these words anyway, to let you know that you are not invisible. You are not alone. And even when it doesn’t feel like it, you are loved. If you’re feeling loved already, God is inclined to pour out even more love on you—the excessive, abundant, extravagant kind. And if you’re having a rough Valentine’s Day, I think he’d like to just sit there beside you and let you know you’re not alone.”
It can be challenging for that to feel real when everyone around us seems to be receiving bouquets of roses and boxes of chocolates or other sentimental gifts, but the Bible gives us endless reminders of His perfect love for us.
Pam Kanaly shares ten verses on Crosswalk.com that remind us, no matter our relationship status, that Jesus is our truest love:

The Best of 2015

Hurray!!!

The New Year is almost here!

How are you enjoying the holiday? I am downtown with my family enjoying the dry breeze and rustic dust of the Eastern Nigeria. Hope you saw my latest Travel Profile Post. I am having a great family time with loads of food, fun and selfiesss while trying hard to keep my booming weight in check. Surprisingly my mum said to me 'try not to put on more weight' and this is coming from someone who never believed I will be fleshy. Thanks to Happiness!

Looking back at 2015 in retrospect with its joys, trials and major milestones, here are a few of the very best...

With February comes the reveal of my entryway though I got criticised by Lohla for showing just a wall. Never mind, I have just moved into a new home and I'm so excited to announce to her that I have a perfect space for an entryway/foyer.

Travel Essentials + My Wishlist

I am super excited! This is the very first Christmas I am getting over 2weeks of holiday away from work so I am jetting off to Enugu (The Coal City State), Eastern Nigeria to spend the holidays with my family, my most cherished gift from God.

Travelling is a very fun activity and one of my favourite past time but one thing I hate about it, is the stress of packing my luggage for any trip. Talking about travelling, here's my own checklist of travel essentials for a fun and memorable holiday like the Christmas:

Project Decorate - One Room at a Time

Hey Homeowners,

Compliment of the season!

It's pretty obvious that yours truly is scarcely here. I have a lot going on around me and one of them I find worthy of celebrating is the launch of my foundation; Energyzn Lives Foundation.

I have come to know my purpose in life and I will live it through "Energyzn Lives Foundation" focused on giving back to the society through scholarships, community projects and empowerment programs.

Our flagship project termed "Project Decorate - One Room at a Time" will involve decorating one of the rooms or a playroom of an Orphanage Home within Lagos Metropolis. From next week, I will be visiting some of the orphanage homes and I am officially requesting that you also nominate some orphanage homes you feel should benefit from this project. #share #repost #nominate #thankyou

The project will kick off from January 10th, 2016, after we had picked an orphanage home and done the required financial appraisal. We are looking at unveiling this project on February 14th, 2016.

This project is also open to volunteering and sponsorship. It is an opportunity to volunteer your time, talents, skills and resources. #collaborate

Permit me to close with this quote of mine "The Purpose You Do Not Know, You Will Not Fulfil" tweet

Have yourself a fulfilling weekend......

But I Don't Feel Thankful....

What do you do when your life is going south?  What do you do when it is “THANKSGIVING” and you have just lost a loved one… or just lost your job… or just lost your marriage? Surely you cannot be expected to give thanks… can you?

November ends today and we all know its "Thanksgiving" month. It's a time to reflect and to consider all the ways we've been blessed. It's a time to give out gratitude to God for our families, our home, our health and our jobs. Ultimately, to count our blessings and hold close the ones we love.

I appreciate that perspective because I think that there is a lot to be said about a heart of gratitude. It's important to take the time to thank God for all that is good in our life.

But what if giving thanks meant more than just counting our blessings?

What if being thankful meant surrendering our struggles and trials too?

Our New Logo - Help Us Choose

Hey Homeowners,

How have we been? If you can read this, thank God that you are alive. It's "Thanksgiving" tomorrow for my American brothers and sisters. I hope to do a post on that...

‎

I was MIA last week, the reason been that I was sick and hospitalised for 4days. You see this our body, you just never can tell when an ailment hits you. I was at Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria on Friday, 13th of November for an owambe, I felt a little sickly on our way back but didn't take it serious, I also planned a beach outing for Sunday but ended up staying indoors for the better part of Saturday and next. Then BAM! yours truly was hospitalised on Monday. How do you explain that biko (please)? The devil is a liar! 

The good news is... that which didn't kill you, can only make you stronger! ‎

Ehen! I finally got to work on my company logo and stationary. I've been meaning to do this a long time ago but never got to until I stumbled on a colleague's  beautiful logo designed by @lekanblaze so I decided to give the graphic designer a try and I wasn't disappointed after all. He came up with these beautiful designs so, I am kinda torn between which to use.

House Hunting Tips - Making The Right Choice For Your Home

Source

House-hunting can be an exciting exercise and at the same time overwhelming. Choosing a new home either for rent or to buy is a major life decision just like marriage. Something not to be done in a hasty manner or you find yourself moving houses within a short space of time.

I have had to take up a rental in such a hurry; i was no doubt swayed by the space (a three bedroom bungalow with a front porch and a parking lot big enough to accommodate about three cars even though i had no car then, what a dream!) but played down on important stuffs. Fast forward to few months, I did not only have to contend with the distance to work, the edginess of the neighborhood to lack of power supply which also affected water supply, the dust-prone environment to the tiny wardrobes/closets, cabinetry and bathrooms. Thank goodness the rental agreement was just for one year!

I have put down some tips below to help you make the right choice for your new home:

Decorating With a Touch of Green

We all need a vacation! You know you need a vacation when you start getting on your own nerves. Invariably i'm saying this girl is overdue for a vacation before she explodes, please be nice and suggest very lovely and affordable destinations.

What better way to let go, relax and recharge than to jet off to a cool vacation spot. This time, we headed to The Gambia, a country in West Africa with it's capital as Banjul for a 5day getaway. All travel arrangements (flights, airport pickup and hotel reservation) was made by wakanow.com.

The exciting and restful five (5) days was spent in the luxurious Sheraton Gambia Hotel Resort & Spa, located in Serekunda, Gambia less than thirty (30) minutes from Banjul International Airport (BJL). The experience was one of a kind having me reminiscing over a vacation i embarked on a long time ago.

Let's Talk Decor: Wooden Wall Shelves

Hello Homeowners,
Yay! The weekend is here! Who is excited?
Here comes another post on "Let's Talk Decor" where i show you a particular decor accessory and how you can transform your home with it. I wrote the first post on this series here where i talked about Wallpapers and it was very much appreciated by homeowners. Today, lets talk wooden wall shelves

Wooden Wall Shelves also known as a counter, ledge, mantel or rack is a storage item used in a home, office or elsewhere to hold items of value that are being displayed, stored, or offered for sale. It is raised off the ground and usually anchored/supported on its shorter length sides by brackets. It can also be held up by columns or pillars. A shelf can be attached to a wall or other vertical surface, be suspended from a ceiling, be a part of a free-standing frame unit, or it can be part of a piece of furniture such as a cabinet, bookcase, entertainment center, some headboards, and so on. Usually two to six shelves make up a unit, each shelf being attached perpendicularly to the vertical or diagonal supports and positioned parallel. Depending on the color theme of your home, wall shelves could come in different colors from brown, black, white, etc:

How do you create a sophisticated design for your home with this decor item? Check out the makeover post here where i decorated a client's living room with the 5piece wooden shelves.
All you need do is to adorn the shelves with decorative pieces like vases, picture frames, scented candles, diffusers, books, arts or DIY objects. See more pictures below for inspiration:

One Year of Blogging + Lessons Learnt

Yes! You and I did it and together we can say "HomeWorth Interiors Blog" is ONE YEAR. Woooppp!

Honestly, I never knew my blog would come this far (I'm sure you perceived that from the tone of my writing) while i wrote my first post on September 4, 2014.

People have different goals for starting a blog; it's either to make money, improve their writing skill, have a voice out there, promote a business or passion and with different goals comes different expectations and measurement of success. Mine was to promote the business, HomeWorth Interiors

I wouldn't say i've succeeded in the goals i set out for this blog, that would rather amount to blasphemy! I have my highs and lows but I am only excited you could tell, that i made it thus far amidst the stress of a day job, a busy weekend and a family to cater for. I am not here to give tips or any of it's kind on how i got here but to share lessons i have learnt in this one year of blogging while i work on improving myself, the blog and becoming a brand name:
