On the 7th of February me, my mum, sister and friend ventured out into freezing cold to see the magical show that is Totem. My last experience of this acrobatic fete was in 2006 when Alegria came to London. If my memory serves me correctly it was the most spectacular show I had ever seen, superb music, non of which I could understand. Bright stage lights and a brilliant story line that kept me engaged throughout the 2 hour spectacle.

Zooming back to the future, Totem was amazing!!! Incase my overuse of exclamation marks didn't explain, I absolutely loved it. The shows strong theme of evolution of humanity took the audience along with it to several different continents.  The clowns were hilarious, I've always admired Cirque du Soliel's ability to break out of the red nose, big hair and shoes routine and create clowns that blend in with show and entertain the audience.

My highlight of the show was the romantic trapeze act that left me squirming in my seat. The acts dabbled with romance, seduction and playfulness associated with young love. In simpler terms, it was hot! The music was so enticing I'm so sure I  didn't blink throughout the glorious 2 minutes of artistic expression.

I really enjoyed my night and would encourage anyone to see this show, or any Cirque du Soliel show for that matter. The amount of time, skill and effort put into this show is exceptional. The incredible projections, stage lights, props and costume definitely contribute to this great show.

The new year comes with tons of people promising to change themselves through a bucket-load of resolutions that lets face it, never get fulfilled. Then February comes along and people moan about their failed diets, shaking from nicotine withdrawal and wallowing in their misery about failing their commitments to the new year. Entering my teens with a bang compelled me to keep up with this western tradition, being young I obviously went for the most superficial things you could think of:loose weight, create a nail polish collection. Though I achieved the latter

Now still being the tender age of 15 (16 in a couple of days) I decided to take different approach and address the key things things that are actually wrong in my life so I can come out the other end and hopefully fix it. People say its best to get into good habits when your young and they'll follow you through the rest of your days.  So that what I have decided to do, hopefully.


New Years Resolutions Habits



Talk to God Everyday Everyday, We Don't Care What People Say 'WWJD?'

Even if I've done something horribly wrong, as a Christian I believe that true change really only comes from a higher power and a deep sense of conviction. So convict me 'Jebus'.


Stop Being Late

Bart Simpsons Chalkboard
It time for me to accept that BMT (Black Man Timing) is only a fallacy that exists within my head and I must get to all events and school on time... I must get to all events and school on time...

Stop Procrastinating

I'm really bad at this, so bad that I haven't read the 'Now Habit', a book my mum got me to stop me getting distracted. I'm sure even writing this blog post is some form of procrastination. Most importantly GCSE's + Procrastination = Elizabeth getting shipped back to Nigeria, African parents really don't take grades lightly.

Be All About My Money

As ghetto and hoodrat-ish as it sounds, I have a great deal of respect for this statement. I have come to the conclusion that my future belongs to me and so long as I'm focused the only thing that can stop me is me... dying from that cliché. If I don't take my work seriously who else will... just my work I refuse to take myself too seriously as whole and become one of those people who can't relax... as much as I respect the look, uptight personality, no social life a stress lines at the age of 15 just isn't cute for me.


With that said, Happy New Year! Wish me luck.

Though the title of this post sounds like something Lord Alan Sugar would ask his minions in a glossy board room, I would like to think this blog is a far cry from all things late night BBC. No one hour daily news report explaining why the world is such a horrible place and no soap opera  rolling up every single social problem in the world into little bite-size chunks, presented on a platter of badly written scripts and blatant plot holes.
Aside from the millions of bloggers that exits I like to think of myself as a fountain of knowledge, no really. I have a ton of things to share mostly beauty related and to do with hair but not inundated with annoying questions such as 'what should I wear?'. That rhymed (she types effortlessly after pain painstakingly figuring out what rhymes with hair).

After doing tons of research (none whatsoever) I have come to the conclusion that the majority of people, including me, are consumed with the concept  of celebrity. So I have taken it upon myself to  become a self-made celebrity, in the usual sense. I will talk about myself in third person from time to time, flaunt the very very very little money I have and let the whole world know what I am thinking without fail every month.

Tell us what sets you apart?


All narcisim aside, I think that a 15 year old girls perspective of the world could be very entertaining and hopefully interesting. I do have a passion for fashion all things beauty and music so that is what I'll be posting 75% of the time. Though my golden throne, millions of pounds and villa in Spain still await me in alternate time line, for the moment I will become your faux, touchable and all to familiar self-made celebrity. 

And who am I? Well that's a secret I'll never tell. Cringe.
