First of all the job hunting process. I haven't been doing it very long, but it's been frustrating. Putting your heart into crafting a resume, cover letter, selling yourself then getting that polite response: "While your qualifications are excellent..." blah!
I live in a country where experience is prized over qualifications and it's a recession so there are even fewer jobs. So I've been sitting at home for weeks with not a lot to do... you know how you just feel so bored and listless that you don't even wanna do anything?
I've even begun to envy my siblings because they get to wake up ass early and go to school everyday.
On the plus side, I've gotten closer to my mum and we don't fight anymore. I've discovered she's actually quite fun and up to date.
Meh.
So I've decided to return to Nigeria. I'm so excited about that. I'm even looking forward to doing my NYSC... I just wanna start my life, get a job and be busy and settled.
In the meantime to keep myself busy, I've re-devoted myself to my accessories business
and taken up crochet. I'm actually not bad. I've made beanies for everyone and I'm currently making a Ghana-themed blanket for my boyfriend. And I'm currently obsessed with cupcakes... been baking them every week (spot the cupcake in the picture below...). I might have gained a pound or two... or 15.
Not bad huh? Once I finish this I'm making a baby blanket. Btw I'm taking orders.
Now please check out my site and order stuff so I have something to do =D
I also invented two new potato recipes
My sis wants to sell her converses, so if anyone's interested, holla! They were too big for her so she hardly wore them. They're a US women's size 10 or 11
This is why I don't blog... nothing interesting happens... that I can talk about without being anonymous.

Cheer up sweetie. You have such talent and the crocheting looks good. You can also look for places to volunteer too, it takes you outside of yourself. And good luck with Nigeria, I'll be visiting soon too.
Don't worry, relax..
You'd get a well paid job and you'd miss the times you used to have all the time in the world.
I love the accessories but I'm in Nigeria..Any luck?
Myne you're awesome. I'm so self-involved I never would have thought of that. I'm def gonna look into that now.
2cute4u- dahlin just let me know what you want and I'll see if we can arrange something :)
Love Big bangles and ring with same design.. I'd love 2 different pairs of something extremely unique.. A dark colour for the first and for the 2nd,something peachy..How's that?
Deal?
You just described the past year of my life. I was laid off last year and I worked temp jobs up until five months ago. I haven't even been able to find a temp job. Thank God for unemployment. But being at home like this sucks.
