Hi fashion online!: Do you ever struggle to be liked? This is a tale of plantain chips. Honestly.

Someone ate some of my plantain chips which I hid in one of our office cabinets as a quick snack for days when I crave... well, a quick snack. Isn't it funny how little things you'll come to laugh about tomorrow can raise so much turmoil in your soul. LOL, I choose to stay civil till I can laugh about it again.
Yes it was important to me (the chips I mean).

You see I like to tell myself that I'm a happy girl, I'm always cheerful, I love to smile, I love to see the good in people but I'm honestly not very tolerant, every day I pray for patience and humility because if God can cope with my excesses then I should make an effort towards my neighbours. With this mindset I am constantly battling with blurred lines- where does tolerance become long suffering? In our lives, we struggle to climb the social ladder, struggle to live, eat, and struggle with that constant need to be liked. That last part I tossed in the gutter during my school days, If you didn't like me you could burn in hades, see if I'd flinch, that changed as I grew older. I find that in life, no matter how wide you smile, there are those people who'd never see anything good about you. From your heels to your well-styled dress, they write you off immediately-
"I don't like that girl".
"Why?"
"I don't know, she dresses too much, and she's friendly, that's very fake".
That's the story of my life. I started out life early so constantly I find myself in the midst of my seniors, thus I'm forced to bridle my tongue because our elders don't expect you to express your angst about anything- it's plain rude. Oh the fuckery.

I'm not perfect, I can be an annoying person too, but someone once told me, treat people the way you want to be treated; with respect. So I'll try to remember this when people eat my plantain chips and it pisses me off and I'm struggling with the temptation of unleashing a tirade of very hot words and rather, pass on my query in a civilised manner, just because that's how I'd like to be treated if tables were turned; and not because people who hate you already will add that slip of tongue to their list of "1001 reasons why you should hate her too" (because who cares anyway?)

I did a shoot for an upcoming clothing brand, St. Charmynn, they specialise in corporate wear and he gave me the honour of styling the looks and shooting them. I loved his collection and all his pieces are made in Nigeria. I had fun with it, It was a simple dress, yet I wanted it to appeal to the working woman who wanted to buy office ready clothes and still keep them versatile. These are one of the looks, and I'll follow up with more pictures subsequently.
