One man's Food , another man's Poison.

I like tall guys . I like skinny girls . I like chicken . I hate killing animals . I prefer bigger girls . I hate fat girls . How would someone like her !? She isn't pretty. I think she's perfect . He's too fine for her . I am happy with her . I like . I hate . I prefer . I rather not . I want . I don't want . I like to drink . It's against my religion . I believe in God . I think there isn't a God .i believe in protecting the environment . I don't care about the environment. I can't date a guy that's 5"6 and below . I like guys that are not as tall , I think they're cute .                                                       One man's food is another man's poison . Every one is different and we all like different things and though some people may not agree with our opinions . We just have to try to understand everyone and try not to judge them. Everyone is unique in their own way . 

Meet up and coming blogger Chineze Okafor

Hello every one and welcome to my Blog .Today I will be interviewing a very talented up and coming blogger Chineze Okafor .

1.    So Chineze tell me what inspired you to join the blogging world ?

A very close friend suggested it to me.

2.    Do you have any favorite bloggers you look up to ?

Although my blog isn't about fashion, I love Ria Michelle. She's such an amazing fashion blogger. 

3.    Now that you have finally started your blog , do you have a particular audience you are targeting ?

None in particular but I believe my generation has so much more to offer so I'd really liked my blog to in some way inspire them. 

4.    Tell me a little bit about your background.

I'm 19, I grew up in Nigeria but I moved to South Africa when I was 8. Then I moved back to Nigeria when I was 14 and now I'm in the U.S. I have 3 siblings, I'm the first girl and the second child. 

5.    Do you have plans of starting a vlog on YouTube soon ?

Yes, I've wanted to vlog for years so I'm hoping to start one this summer.

6.    If you do start vloging , would you still continue with your blog and how are you going to balance the two ?

Yes I will, I haven't gotten there yet but I think the best way would be to have a timetable for my vlog. As for my blog, I've only published one post but so far my writing is very spontaneous.

7.    Okay this is out of the way but, if you were stranded on an island, and you were only allowed to take three makeup items with you , what would you take with you ?

Haha, I would take my brow pencil, a Chapstick and maybe eyeliner.

8.    If you were to describe yourself in one word, what word will you use?

"Introvert"

Jeans and a black top that doesn't fit too tightly.

Does frozen yogurt count? Haha 

11. Your worst fear?

Forgetting myself.

12. If you could give advice to the younger Chineze, what advice would you give to her?

Lol DONT DATE ANYONE! At least till you're 18.

13. What career are you pursuing?

I'm studying Cyber Security but I'm not 100% sure exactly what part it if like to go into yet.

14. You are alone on a Sunday, take us through your day. What would you do?

Go to church, cook, read a novel and probably watch some tv.

15. Is there anyone special?

Lol nope.

Wow, umm, I don't have a "taste" but I like smart guys, people with an opinion.

17. If you could eat one dish everyday, what would you eat?

Fried Rice haha

18.  What kind of blogger do you consider yourself as?

Funny enough I don't know how to put it in words, I'm just someone who has a lot of opinions about a lot of things and blogging is a way for me to express them. That's why I call my blog "SheExpressed"

19. What advice would you give other up and coming bloggers and also people who want to start blogging?

I don't know if I'm qualified to advice anyone yet but I'd say just go ahead and do it. Never doubt or overthink, just do it.

I want to graduate, settle down with a great job, and get married haha. I'd also like to continue my blog and vlog of time permits me.

Thank you so much. I hope to see more of you in the future. 

Thank you!

FAT , OVERWEIGHT AND SELF LOVE .

 This post is inspired by one of my favourite bloggers Chanel Boateng . When i watch her videos i feel there is a part of me in her although she's way older than me but i can still relate . I remember few weeks ago on her youtube channel when she talked about "FAT GIRL PROBLEMS" Although the video was funny , there was a sense of seriousness . She talked about how every fat girl's fear in a public place is to not break a chair and how in train stations it's hard to pass through the thing where u put yur oyster and all that. I could relate to every single thing she said . Recently i have been on a journey of finding myself and truly finding hapiness within myself. My parents have been on my weight and costantly bug me and tell me how i need to loose weight and all that. Today i watched another video by Chanel Boateng titled " How to love your weight" Immediately i saw that , the first question that popped into my head was "Is that even possible?" I thought like that because from the very beginning i have been stigmatised , bullied , insulted , abused ... Everything .. and it has constantly been fed down my throat that i can not be possibly happy with my weight the way i am . I was told that by my own father a few days ago . I have been overweight since i could remember . I can not remember being slim . I have always been fat and in school, growing up , it was really hard for me being insulted , teased by my classmates and all that . It got to a point where i did not want to look at the mirror . I wanted to take my life ad die and to be honest it is still happening although i am a bit better at handling the situation but i still have not gotten there. In Chanel's video she talked about how in the society , it is like a curse to be fat . It is frowned against and what no one gets is that food adiction is the same or even worse than cocaine and weed and other harmful drugs and for someone to make up their mind to loose weight , it has to come from within and i truly believe her . I agree . Right now in my life , i feel i am being pressured to loose weight by my parents by the society telling me i am not good enough . I am not beautiful enough because i am big and because i am fat . I am told i will not be found attractive my men because i am fat . When a guy says he's dating a big woman , it has to be a secret or something that is hidden . Chanel talked about how to love your weight . She said you need to be happy with whatever body you are in and love yourself because if your body is ready to loose weight and your mind is not , it will not work and that is exactly what is happening to me . I have been on so many diets . I hasve lost weight , added weight many times .If you have seen my detox post , that has been one of my attempts but it has not worked . I want to loose weight because iw ant my parents to be happy with me . I want to loose weight so that i would fit in with my friends . I want to loose weight so i can be accepted in the society . I want to loose weight so i can be normal! All wrong reasons . I want to love myself . I am learnin to love myself the way i am and to be honest if anyone does not love me or like me like this , then am sorry that is your loss!

Have a nice day !

STEREOTYPES: AFRICA!

Today i was watching Jessie on Disney channel. Season Premiere and Episode 1 is called "But Africa is far" . In this episode, jessie was going back to "Africa"(you know because there are no countries in Africa) to meet her ex husband who she left at the alter and the kids and their butler decided to go to "Africa" to get jessie . When they got there , it was a bush with animal noises everywhere and they were talking about Rhino's and Lions and Mosquito's! This pissed me off so much because it is wrong stereotypes that the western media feeds to their citizens especially children who watch these programmes that make them so ignorant ! Africa has 54 different countries! And you can go to one of those countries at a time not Africa! Being an International student studying in the Uk , i and my other international friends mainly from countries in Africa have come across some of the most ignorant questions from citizens of these western countries like " Do you speak Nigerian?", "Do you live in huts?""Do you have a Lion as a pet?". For goodness sake! there are cities in countries in Africa . They may not be as developed as western countries but we are trying! we have roads , big buildings ! Our houses are big and beautiful! Our people are educated! and we do not have wild animals as pets !Please get your facts right and stop being Ignorant!

Bye have a nice day!
