Prepping For 2K17 + #LightTheWorld Review

Hey world

3 days till the end of the year. I bet some people are making New Year resolutions. Good luck on doing that. I stopped making New Year resolutions some years ago, so those kind of resolutions like losing weight (I don’t have to lose weight. For someone like me, I have to put on some flesh.), going to church every Sunday (I already do that), saving money (No comments on that one), and all that jazz. Nesta wrote about the failure of New Year Resolutions and I totally agree with him.

I am not discouraging you on making New Year resolutions. You have every right to, but please make realistic ones.

During the festive season, I was involved in a campaign called Light the World. We invited people from all walks of life to participate. Every day from 1^st December till December 25^th, we were required to participate in an activity that would show kindness and let us do good to ourselves, family, friends, strangers and other people around us.

If you were following me on Twitter and read my Blogmasposts, you will see me posting an activity daily for #LightTheWorld, especially on my Twitter.

It was like an advent calendar, and it was refreshing doing it and I felt so good. Even though, sometimes, I was so busy I lost track once, or twice, but I tried hard to get back. I can admit that not every day was perfectly made.

The aim of the campaign was to light the world, and turn the activities into goals for the New Year to continue to light the world, so it doesn’t end on the 25^th. It continues into the New Year and throughout ourselves.

I really enjoyed engaging myself in this advent activity, and I hope next Christmas, there would be more activities like this.

How are you prepping for 2017? Any goals, resolutions?

Style Inspiration Board: New Year, New Style + Tales of Nazir the Movie Premiere

Whoosh! What a looong blog title. I didn’t know how to put those words in about five/ six/ seven words. Well, it doesn’t matter!

Merry Christmas, Healthy New Year. I guess the year is going on well for you, and we thank goodness for that.

It’s a new year, and probably, some of you are changing your wardrobe. I was surfing through the internet for style inspiration for black ladies like us, and this is what I found.

Behold, style inspiration to start the New Year with.

Which one is your favourite?

Annnd, last Saturday, my boss gave me a Tales Of Nazir the Movie Premiere ticket, to watch and write a review for the site I am working for.That explains the long blog title. LOL. It is coming soon on the website.

The name is Nazir Marietta and I’m out! PEACE!

Friends Are More Important Than Money: The 2016 Manifesto Of The MDAM Blog

Good morning, guys. Hey! It’s the first Monday of the year, 2016. I guess you are all going back to work or school or somewhere else.

Anyway, how is your New Year? Are you feeling sweet sixteen like me? I mean, it’s 2016, guys! This is the year you should feel sweet sixteen. If your 16 year old life was a mess, this is the time for you to correct mistakes and live your good life, you know.

Some of you have made New Year resolutions and, I would like to say, all the best with that. I have stop making New Year resolutions, but rather I make goals, or should I say, bucket lists.

Last year before it ended, I wrote a manifesto to live a good life, or a better one, so I had ideas from my journals and my little red bag.

Yeah, that little red bag.

So, I present to you, the 2016 Manifesto of the MDAM Blog, with the theme, Friends Are More Important Than Money.

Walk more.

Embrace the beach

Capture the memories

Write BIG

Smile more

Trust in God

Believe in yourself

Save money

Get outdoors more

Dream BIG

Read, read and read

Be fit for life

Make a new friend

Listen more, speak less

Be grateful for everything, even trials

Happy 2015!!!!

Happy New Year, sweethearts!

 I'm not asleep yet. It's almost 4, yeah I know. There's so much fun around, I just can't sleep. Anyway, there's this festival going on in Winneba. I'm not sure whether I'll attend, but let's see.

The last but one Sunday before Christmas, a brother of mine at church, gave a talk and his title was Spiritual Target. This year, I want to focus on my spiritual life more. Even though I have set 101 goals to be fulfilled in 1001 days, I have 3 main goals to fulfill before 2015 ends.

• To find inner peace
•  To develop the qualities of a good woman
•  To be strong and healthy

 
 Anyway, Happy New Year and let's toss to the new year!

 Stay sweet!
