My Cup of Tea

-

Keeping up with work,relationships and being an adult in general is a lot of hard work. My inclination to leave everything until the last minute does not help either. Its's been wheeling on my mind that I should start a blog but life can get crazily busy and ideas get lost in the mayhem. Writing  puts things into perspective and makes others somewhat clearer.Well,I am warming up to the resolve that it is time to throw myself into the deep end, face new fears and let go of some more. My life as of right now is quite a cycle of getting things done and trying not to be crazy...real adulthood stuff, so while I am  at it, I might as well get this done. There's always worry that you'll fail with any risk you take or new opportunity that you throw yourself into, especially if you're the textbook over thinker that I am, but sometimes thinking through stuff and trying to get clarity is just self-sabotaging...because its impossible to have everything figured out. Conversations with Sheilah is about going through life experiences, taking chances and sharing some tea along the way. I hope this little 'sharing' brings you something, whether that be laughter, entertainment,comfort( or a tiny bit less boredom on your commute). See you soon!

Anything but tidy….

 I struggle to justify my love for words…I have very few in my vocabulary…..and whenever we are in a conversation and someone says something I didn’t quite catch…chances are…I’ll probably ask….sometimes I will just ask even though I already know…it’s interesting to hear another person’s perspective….especially if it’s an idiom….or a word that I would never naturally use in a sentence…..I will sometimes take a mental note of something said because it sounded goofy, or smart or if it just had an easy flow. I also admire people who use their words with ease....it’s like hey! Can we be friends? CRINGE WORTHY! I have written more cringe worthy things I promise….these same words have a way of coming back to bite me. It’s a toxic relationship…. But one we are not planning to let go….  MORE CRINGE WORTHY? Not enough cringe I guess! Since the goal is to have something written down….we are going to strive for consistency by any means regardless….so here goes the process of finding something mean

A close shave

So one of the perks of shaving hair is the freedom and bliss of standing under a running shower….an obvious one. The other obvious one is saving yourself from the energy and cost of   salon trips and the pain, frustration and anger that comes with braiding hair…especially those dread-lock looking braids that are……well, cute…and a bad idea at the same time. It doesn’t help if you have a streak of impatience within you which comes alive when you sit to get your braids done…much so if you can relate to those kids who scream when they get braided…it’s the same exact feeling but for being an adult, you do not have the same liberty to throw tantrums even though it would be completely justified and so you shove your stupid frustrations down your… (Exactly that)…and pay for it with cold hard cash….and a smile. For a moment you will look at the mirror and feel pleased with yourself for being patient enough to sit through this horrible experience…until it’s time to sleep and it’s a whole o

LETS TALK ENTERTAINMENT……PART 1

-
YouTube The reason why YouTube is my first go to place for entertainment is because YouTube videos are fairly short, so you get entertained without needing to dedicate too much time. You can easily take up a ten minute tea break and catch up on something interesting from your favourite you tuber without feeling like you’re stealing working time. These are some of my favourite you tubers hat I actually watch and have been loving so far…In no particular order of preference… 1.         Green calabash/Yummy Mummy – FAMILY& LIFESTYLE If you’re into Family and lifestyle type of videos these channels are definitely for you. The videos are basically about everyday life at home with kids. You might pick few tips and tricks along the way. 2.       Wodemaya/Miss Trudy –TRAVEL VLOGS If you’re feeling patriotic about promoting the image of Africa to the outside world…this is the channel for you…..I would advise that you start from older videos though, because the interesting thing
