LIFE IS HARD, I AM TIRED BUT I STILL WANT TO LAUGHED.

I REALLY HAVE NOT MUCH TIME TO WRITE A POST AND I SWEAR IS NOT BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING TO WRITE ABOUT.

BUT MY JOB TOOK ME SO MUCH TIME AND ENERGY. I HAD TO TAKE A WEEK OFF WHEN THE LEARNER WAS ON HOLIDAY.
 I DIDN'T PLAN TO IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT I RECEIVED A VERY BAD NEWS FROM MY COUNTRY SO I JUST STAY AT HOME PRAYING FOR 7 DAY.

THANKFULLY THINGS ARE BETTER NOW BUT IT WAS QUITE SCARY.
SO IF IT WASN'T THAT NEW I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK DURING THAT WEEK.

I DON'T KNOW IF I MENTIONED THAT I BROUGHT A CAR BUT NOW MY CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN BY THE COUNCIL AND I HAD TO PAY.
 IT IS SO EXPENSIVE (the fine exceed what i paid for) THAT I THINK TO LET THE COUNCIL KEEP IT.

BUT IT WAS ENTIRELY MY FAULT. ANYWAY I WILL INFORM THEM THAT I CANNOT PAY AND IF THEY WANT TO, THEY CAN KEEP MY CAR. I ONLY DRIVE IT ONCE. I STILL NOT PASS MY DRIVING TEST. I KNOW I KNOW .............. BUT THINGS CAME ON MY WAY THAT MAKE ALL MY PLANS CRUMBLED.

THE GOOD THINGS IS THAT I HAVE GOOD RESULTS AT WORK WITH MY LEARNER SO EVERYBODY IS HAPPY. MY LEARNERS HAD MADE SO MUCH AND QUICK PROGRESS THAT THEY DECIDED TO APPLY MY METHOD WITH ANOTHER LEARNER. SO NOT EVERYTHING IS NOT SO BAD. LOL

I STILL LAUGHED SO I JUST POST SOME VIDEOS THAT MAKES MY DAYS WHEN I WAS DOWN. HUMOR ESPECIALLY THE AFRICAN ONE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANTIDOTE.
I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY THEM AS I DO. LOL

"MA GALETTE DES ROIS" BECAUSE I AM A QUEEN

ALMOST ONE MONTH THAT I DID MY LAST POST THIS NEW JOB IS SO SO INTENSE THAT I REALLY DON'T HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME.
THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO ONLY FOCUS ON ONE LEARNER MUST HAVE MAKE THINGS MORE EASIER BUT I DID NOT SPECULATE WHAT WAS COMING.

 SO NOW I AM QUITE SURPRISED OF THE ENERGY THAT I HAVE TO SPEND ON ONE PERSON. DURING CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS I JUST REST SLEEP AND REST.
 AND I HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHEN I WAS LIVING IN FRANCE THERE WAS ONE TRADITION THAT I REALLY REALLY MISSED. IT IS CALLED " LA GALETTE DES ROIS " ( KING'S CAKE ).

FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE FRENCH OR LIVE THERE THEY KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

AFTER CHRISTMAS IN FRANCE THERE IS A TRADITION WHERE WE CELEBRATE THE FACT THAT WHEN JESUS WAS BORN 3 KINGS  CAME TO OFFER HIM SOME PRESENTS. OK YOU KNOW THE STORY.

SO IN FRANCE THEY ARE MAKING A CAKE THAT THEY CALLED "GALETTE" IT IS MADE OF PUFF PASTRY AND ALMOND CREAM PLUS A LITTLE FIGURINE THAT YOU DO NOT EAT.
SO WHEN YOU ARE INVITING  YOUR FAMILY  AND EAT IT THE ONE WHO GETS THE FIGURINE  ( WHICH REPRESENT A BABY JESUS OR THE VIRGIN MARY) BECAME A KING OR QUEEN  AND THAT PERSON CAN WEAR A CROWN SOLD WITH THE CAKE.

WE DRINK IT WITH APPLE JUICE/CIDER  OR CHAMPAGNE. IT IS VERY POPULAR IN FRANCE AND I REMEMBER THAT AS A CHILD IN SCHOOL WE WERE ALL WISHING TO GET "LA FEVE" AND GET THE CROWN THAT YOU WILL WEAR ALL DAY LONG.

THIS YEAR I HAD  A HUGE NEED TO EAT AGAIN MY GALETTE SO MY BROTHER SENT ME TWO. AND YES I GOT "LA  FEVE AGAIN. AND I  BECAME A QUEEN AGAIN LIKE I USED TO BE ANY WAY. LOL

BYE BYE 2015 ...... HELLO 2016

JUST A QUICK POST TO MARK THE END OF 2015 IT WASN'T A BAD ONE FOR ME BECAUSE I GOT A NEW JOB AND A CAR .LOL

PLUS MY GP SAID THAT I AM IN GOOD HEALTH SO NOTHING TO COMPLAIN APART FOR MY NEW ROUTINE AND THE TIME SPEND IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT.
 I WILL CHANGE THAT WHEN I WILL MOVE CLOSER TO MY NEW JOB.

I WISH YOU ALL  A HAPPY NEW YEAR FILLED WITH PROSPERITY, HEALTH AND LOTS LOTS OF LOVE ALL AROUND YOU.

AND BY THE WAY FOR THOSE WHO CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS I HOPE IT WAS A VERY GOOD TIME FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.

I  THANK ALL OF YOU TO VISIT ME REGULARLY  BECAUSE IT IS A BLESSING AND I AM AWARE OF IT.

MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU !

SO SO TIRED BUT I AM STILL THERE.....LOL

I just trimmed/cut  my hair again !

YES I AM ALIVE !  LOL BUT WITH MY NEW JOB I AM SO BUSY AND REALLY TIRED. 

PLUS I DO NOT HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF SCHOOL HOLIDAYS THAT I USED TO HAVE.

 

A MISTAKE THAT I MADE WHEN I THOUGH THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A COLLEGE I WILL HAVE ALL THE SORT BREAKS. NAH ! LOL. 

SO MY BODY HAS TO ADAPT TO THIS NEW ROUTINE.

IN MY FORMER JOB I WAS WORKING WITH SEVERAL STUDENTS BUT NOW I AM ONLY FOCUS ON ONE STUDENT BUT BELIEVE ME IT IS TAKING ALL MY ENERGY.

 

IT'S  QUITE DIFFERENT OF WHAT I USED TO DO EVEN IF WHAT I DID BEFORE HELP ME TO DEAL WITH THE DAY TO DAY CHALLENGES.

 

I ALSO DON'T HAVE TO WORRY NO MORE IN TERM OF CLOTHES BECAUSE I HAVE TO WEAR CASUAL ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I AM MOSTLY OUTSIDE TRAVELLING WITH PUBLIC TRANSPORTS (LONDON BUSES AND TRAINS).

BEFORE I ONLY SPENT 20 MIN ( NOW IT IS 90 MIN !) TO GO TO WORK WITH ONE BUS NOW I AM TAKING THE TUBE PLUS 2 BUSES. SO AT THE END OF MY JOURNEY I AM REALLY TIRED.

AND I AM NOT FORGETTING THAT I USED TO FINISH AT 3 PM NOW IT IS 5 PM SOMETIMES I AM DOING OVERTIME JUST TO TAKING CARE OF ONE STUDENT.

FOR SOME OF YOU WHO CAN YOURSELF ASK IF I WAS STILL INTEREST IN BLOGGING, I AM, IT IS JUST THAT I HAD TO ADAPT TO THIS NEW JOB ROUTINE.

 

BUT THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS ARE COMING SO I HOPE TO  HAVE MORE ENERGY TO POST A LITTLE MORE. THANK YOU  FOR  YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

STILL LOVE MAKE UP TUTORIALS. LOL

WHEN YOU CONSIDER WHAT HAPPEN TO ME LAST TIME THAT I DECIDED TO PUT MAKE UP ON ME  YOU WOULD  THINK THAT I HAVE  TO TAKE SOME  PRECAUTIONS. LOL BUT TO BE HONEST I STILL ENJOY MAKE UP TUTORIAL ESPECIALLY THE ONES MADE BY THATIGBOCHICK .

 SHE IS SO GOOD BECAUSE SHE USES COLOURS SO WELL
I WISH I CAN REPLICATE IT. LOL PLUS I LOVE THE FACT THAT SHE IS NOT OVER APPLYING THE CONCEALER BECAUSE SOME OF THIS BEAUTY GURU JUST PUT THE FULL CONTENT ON THEIR FACES.

FOR MAKE UP LOVERS ENJOY AND LEARN IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT. ME I AM JUST WATCHING NOW SO NO ITCHING TROUBLE ANYMORE.LOL

THIS IS THE KIND OF RESULT THAT I WISH TO ACHIEVE ONE DAY JUST FOR THE FUN.

THE ONE THAT I WISH TO TRY BECAUSE I LOOOVE BLUE. 

AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE LOOK.

HOPE YOU WILL FIND SOME INSPIRATION OR JUST ADMIRE HER SKILLS LIKE I DO.

WHY NOT SOME MUSIC ..... ?

JUST A QUICK POST SO I CAN INTRODUCE YOU  TO TWO  FEMALE AFRICAN SINGERS. ONE IS FROM IVORY COAST,

HER NAME IS JOSEY AND A SONG IS CALLED "DIPLOME"

SHE IS TALKING ABOUT HER BOYFRIEND WHO STILL HASN'T MARRY HER DESPITE 10 YEARS OF LIVING TOGETHER  AND A CHILD.

HE KEEPS SAYING TO HER THAT HE WANTS TO STUDY IF SHE WILL BE  A SUITABLE  WIFE. THAT'S WHY SHE ASK HIM WHAT KING OF  DIPLOMA OR DEGREE HE WANTS  TO ACHIEVE BY MAKING HER WAIT FOR SO LONG.

SO SHE HAD ENOUGH AND DECIDE TO LEAVE. BUT NOW HE WANTS HER BACK.LOL THIS THE NEW ANTHEM FOR FRENCH SPEAKING AFRICAN WOMAN.LOL

THE OTHER ONE IS ANOTHER FRENCH AFRICAN FEMALE SINGER TOO BUT SHE IS FROM SENEGAL. SHE ALSO HAS A YOUTUBE CHANNEL ON BEAUTY AND FASHION ETC.....

HER NAME IS " ATHEENA" BUT SHE ALSO USED THE NAME "NOUNETTE" FOR HER YOUTUBE CHANNEL. 

FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND FRENCH. 

HER SONG TITLE IS "GOODBYE PARIS". 

IT IS A SWEET BALLAD ABOUT A WOMAN WHO REMEMBER WHEN SHE MET HER  FIRST LOVE IN PARIS.

 BUT SHE HAD TO GO SO SHE IS QUITE SAD. BUT SHE MADE THE PROMISE  TO COME  BACK TO PARIS AGAIN.

THIS ONE IS FROM  HER BEAUTY CHANNEL   FOR THE ONE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND FRENCH.

HOPE YOU WILL GIVE A TRY AND ENJOY IT BECAUSE MUSIC IS AN UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE PLUS YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.

2 MAJOR PROBLEMS AND A NEW JOB BUT I AM BACK

I KNOW THAT IS BEEN LIKE TWO MONTHS NOW BUT SO MANY THINGS HAPPEN TO ME. ESPECIALLY  WITH MY HEALTH.

my skin the day before

THEN I HAVE TO START MY NEW JOB IN CENTRAL LONDON AND FOR THE FIRST TIME I NEED TO SPEND LIKE 1.15 HOUR TO GET THERE.

PLUS I FINISHED MORE LATER THAN I USED TO WITH MY FORMER JOB. THE CHALLENGES ARE ALSO DIFFERENT SO WHEN I AM BACK I AM REALLY REALLY DRAINED.

I was shocked, sad  and mad lol

I JUST WANT TO TAKE MY SHOWER EAT SOMETHING AND JUST SLEEEEP.
I NEEDED SOME TIME TO ADJUST MYSELF TO THIS NEW CHANGES EVEN IF IT WAS MY DECISION AFTER ALL.

the  spots and rashes

I ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH TWO MAJORS HEALTH PROBLEMS. ONE WITH MY FACE AND THE OTHER ONE WITH LEFT ANKLE.

 I had to take this tablets

WHAT HAPPENED  WITH MY FACE ??? 

OK  DON'T JUDGE ME PLEASE !

YOU KNOW DESPITE THE FACT THAT I AM NOT GOOD AT MAKE UP I STILL WATCHED A LOT OF MAKE UP TUTORIALS SO I CAN STILL BORROW SOME IDEAS.
SO I DECIDED TO TRY A CONTOURING / STROBING TECHNICS.

 After wash my face i used Shea butter first

YEAH I THOUGHT  THAT IT WILL BE SOOOOO COOL.
 AND YES ! EVEN AFTER THE DISASTROUS  BANANA MASK CONDITIONER TUTORIALS.

I CLEARLY DID NOT LEARN MY LESSON LOL. ANYWAY I JUST DID WHAT I WANTED TO DO. AND IN TOP OF THAT I BOUGHT A NEW FOUNDATION ( CHEAPER )  WITH A BB CREAM ( CHEAPER TOO ).

 I used this cream first in urgency 

SO I MIXED MY TWO FOUNDATIONS. I DID NOT LIKE THE RESULT BUT INSTEAD OF REMOVING THE MAKE UP QUICKLY I LET IT  JUST TO TAKE SOME PICTURES FOR LIKE ONE HOUR.

I used this when put all the other creams it was exclusively for the rashes

I WASHED MY FACE NORMALLY. THE NEXT DAY I WOKE UP WITH A BIG SENSATION OF ITCHING ON MY FACE AND WHEN I WENT TO THE MIRROR I WAS FULL OF RASHES AND SPOTS. 

I washed my face exclusively with this i still use it today.

YEAH ! IT TOOK ME 2 WEEKS TO HAVE MY FACE SKIN BACK.  I THINK I AM LIKE A LITTLE SCARED TO EVEN PUT SOME LIPSTICK ON. IT IS THAT BAD ! LOL.

THE GOOD THING IS THAT I  STARTED MY NEW JOB WITH A CLEAN FACE.

 I used this cream just after the Shea butter

NOW MY LEFT ANKLE JUST DECIDED TO SWOLLEN 3 WEEKS AGO FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND IT IS QUITE PAINFUL. BUT I HAVE TO GO TO WORK ANY WAY.

the look that created all that mess !

I WAS ALSO SUPPOSED TO START SOME AQUA GYM SESSIONS BUT NOW EVERYTHING IS LIKE  " UNDER THE WATER  " MAY I SAY  THANKS TO MY SWOLLEN ANKLE.LOL
 I SAW MY DOCTOR ON THIS WEEK SO I WILL SEE WHAT 'S HAPPENING.

I KNOW THAT ALL THIS MAY NOT BE VALID EXCUSES FOR SOME PEOPLE  BUT THEY ARE MINE. AND SURE  BUT I AM BACK.LOL
