Ever felt like you’re doing everything right — eating less, skipping dinner, cutting carbs — but the scale still won’t move? 😩

You’re not alone.
Most busy Nigerian women are unknowingly stuck in the “eat less, move more” trap — a cycle that leaves you tired, moody, and even gaining more weight later on.

But here’s the truth:
👉🏾 It’s not about eating less — it’s about eating right for your hormones, metabolism, and energy needs.

When you start nourishing your body instead of starving it, your body starts working with you, not against you.

If you’ve been frustrated and want to lose weight without endless restrictions, I created a free guide just for you —

When Last Did You Visit Yourself?

Have you ever paused to ask:
“How am I really doing?”
Not work-wise… not financially…
But me—my body, my mind, my relationships?

It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle. We say we’re working hard for “a better life”…
But in the process, we quietly trade away the very things that make life better.

We sacrifice sleep.
We skip proper meals.
We push through exhaustion.
We miss out on family time… again.
We put our own well-being on hold.

All for the promise of “one day” when we’ll finally rest and enjoy it all.
But the hard truth is—sometimes, by the time we slow down… it’s too late.

Our health starts to fail.
Our loved ones have drifted away or grown older.
The precious moments we thought we could save for later… are already gone.

💔 This isn’t to scare you. It’s a wake-up call.
✅ A call to visit yourself today.
✅ To check in.
✅ To care for your body.
✅ To nurture your relationships.
✅ To remember that YOU matter—right now.

Because life isn’t just about making a living…
It’s about making meaning.

👉 So please—pause.
👉🏻 Rest.
👉🏻 Eat well.
👉🏻 Laugh.
👉🏻 Be present.
Don’t lose yourself while trying to build a life. Because you are the most important part of that life.

What’s one small way you’ll “visit yourself” this week?

Let’s talk in the comments. Your reminder might be the one someone else needs too.

Someone shared this recipe of this red fufu on a platform I belong to, and I tried it out. It came out well.
This swallow can also encourage children who are picky eaters to eat because of the colour.

Let me share it with you.

INGREDIENTS:
🔸 1 unripe plantain

🔸 1 medium-sized beetroot

🔸 1 cup of oat flour

DIRECTION:

🔸 Wash and peel the plantain and beetroot.

🔸 Dice and blend with little water until smooth.

🔸 Pour it in a pot on low heat. Stir and add the oat flour. Stir to mix it in. Cover the pot and leave for 5 minutes.

🔸Stir, and it’s ready.

🔸 Serve with the soup of your choice.

So if you are tired of your regular eba, amala, try something different and healthy too.

Go make yours👍🏼.

Lunch was simple but nourishing — sweet potatoes, fish, and a mix of veggies (lettuce, onions, garlic, spring onions).

This is your gentle reminder:
Have you had your portion of vegetables today? 🥬💚

Even just one serving makes a difference for your body — supporting your digestion, energy, and immunity.

✅ Tip: Add veggies to what you’re already eating — like tossing some greens into your rice, beans, egg sauce, or stew.

✅ Or snack on cucumbers, carrots, or garden egg.

You don’t have to make it complicated — just make it count.
Your body will thank you. 💚

What’s one easy way you include veggies in your meals?

Here is something most people get wrong.

Healthy living isn’t a 2-week diet, a detox tea, or a “perfect” gym routine.

It’s not about giving up your favorite foods or turning your life upside down.

And it’s definitely not something you have to get right all at once.

👉 Healthy living is a JOURNEY — built one small, doable step at a time.

So many people feel overwhelmed because they think they have to do everything right from the start. But that’s not how it works.

The real magic?
Making small changes that fit your life — and turning those changes into habits.

Here’s what realistic healthy living can look like:

✅ Starting your day with 1 or 2 cups of water before breakfast.

✅ Dancing for 10 minutes instead of forcing a workout you don’t like.

✅ Choosing kindness towards yourself- even on tough days.

✅ Swapping one sugary drink for water / vegetable juice / tea during the day.

✅ Going to bed a bit earlier just twice a week.

✅ Taking deep breaths when things get tense.

✅ Preparing one nourishing meal ahead so you’re not stuck with unhealthy choices.

None of these are “perfect” — but they are powerful.
Because they are sustainable. And they’re yours.

You don’t need to copy someone else’s routine.
Find what works for you, do it consistently, and let the habits build.

Over time, these little steps create the lifestyle you’ve been hoping for — without the pressure, without the guilt, and without needing to be perfect.

💬 What’s one small change you’re ready to try this week?

Maybe it’s walking more, drinking more water, or sleeping earlier.
Share in the comments — you never know who you might inspire. 💚

Let’s make wellness feel possible again — one real step at a time.

“A New Discovery That Made My Day 🌿💜”

I saw something unique today, and I couldn’t stop smiling.

You see, fruits and vegetables always catch my eye—especially the ones I’ve never seen before. I was walking past a mallam’s fruit and veg stand when this deep purple leaf stopped me in my tracks. Gorgeous. Bold. Unfamiliar.

Curious, I asked for the name. He shrugged. “I don’t know o.”
I laughed and said, “How can you not know what you’re selling?” 😂
Thankfully, Google Lens came to the rescue.

Turns out it’s called garden orache—also known as red orache, mountain spinach, or French spinach. Ever heard of it?

Of course, I bought it immediately—to add to my salad and smoothie. I mean… purple leaves? That’s rare! The only other purple veg I usually see around is cabbage.

My research shows this vegetable is a powerhouse of vitamins A and C, and it also provides calcium, iron, and magnesium. These help to boost immune function, help prevent iron deficiency anaemia, help with nerve and muscle function, and promote digestive health due to its fibre content.

This little adventure reminded me of something I deeply believe:
Eating a variety of colourful fruits and vegetables (“eating the rainbow”) gives your body a wide range of powerful nutrients—especially phytonutrients that protect and heal.

So I’m curious:
🟣 Are you the type who loves to try new foods?
🌈 Do you get excited by colourful plates like I do?
🥗 Or are you stuck in a food routine that could use a little spark?

Trying something new might seem small, but it’s one of the easiest ways to open the door to better health—one colourful bite at a time.

Have you seen this leaf before? Would you try it?
