July 16, 2020 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , Leave a comment

Every month, I like to support a new charity with a mission I am passionate about. This month, I am supporting Women and Children First Charity. This is a charity very close to my heart as it supports deprived women and children in Africa. With the current state of affairs all over the world. these women and children are even more vulnerable, which is why the charity needs our support more than ever. Women and Children First are working very hard to ensure people are aware of the importance of handwashing, social distancing, and wearing masks to mitigate the risks of the disease.

Women and Children First Charity

We want a world where all women, children and young people can survive and thrive. Too often they face problems that harm or kill them. These include preventable, treatable diseases, or issues in pregnancy. We are pioneers at empowering local communities, enabling women to take the lead in achieving this vision. We guide them to overcome their problems, bringing people together to find the answers they need. By the end of 2021, we will save the lives of 10,000 women, children, and young people and enable 1,000,000 more to live the lives they choose.

I bet you can see why I am passionate about this charity. Being able to save lives and empower women and children is amazing. I am grateful there are charities like Women and Children First doing great things for humanity. You can watch this short clip from a community midwife – Oyam, talking about her experiences helping women and her Coronavirus concerns –

If you are moved to support this great charity, you can donate here.  Your generous donation will go a long way to helping women and children live better lives. You can also check out other charities I support here.

Thanks for reading, commenting, and sharing. Have a lovely day.

Favourite Celebrity Fashion Designers

July 14, 2020 By in Celebrity Fashion, Fashion Tags: , , , , , , , 5 Comments

Fashion and celebrity world go hand in hand, so it is always nice to see talented celebrity fashion designers that have managed to combine both worlds and make it work. Many stars step into the world of fashion with terrible fashion collections but make some noise just because they are celebrities. However, those celebrity fashion designers only last a few years before they close shop. You can’t fake being a fashion designer for so long. Soon everyone would get bored of the horrid designs and stop paying attention.

I am a fashion lover and I do find some celebs entertaining. There are so many celebrity fashion designers I like to keep on eye on because of their stylish fashion lines. Here are 3 of current favourite celebrity fashion designers –

Victoria Beckham

When I look back to how Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice, came into the limelight, I am always so inspired. She started off being in a girl band, wen off to try a solo career, and finally found her calling in the fashion world. Beckham is definitely a better fashion designer than a singer. She is so talented woman. I love her designs a lot. Her handbags are just out of this world. It would be nice to own one of her bags someday.

Rihanna/Fenty

This amazing young woman is a bundle of talent that has grown up before our very eyes. I love her singing, dancing, and her designs. Her makeup line is another part of her I really like. It is wonderful how she has managed to wear so many hats and be successful in all of them. Rihanna is definitely one of the best celebrity fashion designers in the world.

Gwen Stefani/L.A.M.B

I have loved Gwen Stefani for as long as I can remember. She has a very distinct look and has always stood out from the rest. I am a huge fan of her music and her fashion label – L.A.M.B, which stands for Love. Angel. Music. Baby. She is one of the few celebrity fashion designers that have managed to combine both worlds successfully.

Blogging tip: Write for yourself first

July 13, 2020 By in Blogging Tips Tags: , , , , , 6 Comments

Many pro bloggers advise you to write for your audience and search engines when you start blogging. This is correct. You should write for search engines and your readers but when you have a new blog, the best thing you can do for yourself and your blog is to write for yourself first. Once you start writing for yourself, everything else will fall into place. You will learn along the way what works for your blog niche, what type of blog posts bring in more traffic, and the types that bring in more engagement. The more you blog, you more you will understand what works and what doesn’t. That way you can twerk as you go along.

Blogging tip: Write for yourself first

I see many new bloggers falling into the trap of writing like every other blogger. They don’t put their own spin on their blog posts. Their blog looks like every other popular blog on their web and there is no originality. There is a very thin line between being getting inspiration and outright copying. I know it is tempting to be a little bit too inspired while grabbing blog post ideas from your favourite blogs, and this is where many newbie bloggers kill their blogging career before it even gets started.

It is so important to write for yourself first especially in your early blogging days. Your blog needs to bring something new and fresh to the web. That is the only way to stand out in the saturated world of blogging. Anything else, and you just get buried on the web. My advice is to play out with your creativity and discover where your strength is. It could be in your writing tone, photography, video content, or knowledge in a particular niche. There is always room to bring something new and fresh; writing for yourself first is the way to find out what that is.

When it comes to blogging for success, there is really no tip. One rule could work great for one blog and not for another. The only way to know which rule works for you is to play around with different blogging tips and be original. Practice makes perfect with blogging. The more you blog, the better you become, and the faster you learn. Experience is the best teacher, so if you are contemplating starting a blog, just start and learn as you go along. Good luck xx
