Boluwa Cooks: For the Love of Pasta

Image
Listed as one of my favourites things !!!! I love cooking, after CDS today I made sexy pasta, then for dinner I made Palm oil stew and rice, but I ended up eating shrimps. I made a left over sauce really and it turned out great, left over really means using like food that is already cooked and just making something work out of it. The stew I used was fish stew that was already at the house, had some sausage and crayfish and left over fish from last night. Check out my meal. The meat I used to make the stew Sausage for the pasta  Pasta boiling. NB- I don't break my pasta Dont ya love it!!

Betty's Weekly Banter: Taking Your Friends to Your Bakery

Image
I promised a lot of guest writers!! Here is my first piece from Betty, she gets upset about things and when she does she punctuates away! This is her weekly feature on things that linger through her mind. My friends and I were conversing one day, then the issue of introducing your friends to the boy/guy you are feeling came up; feeling here means considering the guy to be your potential bae . Now the main issue here is, is that really a wise move or a stupid move on the girls part?  Should a girl introduce her friends to her guy AKA taking your friends to your bakery ..? From my own perspective I would never advise any girl to introduce her friends to any guy she hasn't really established anything serious with. Because guys these days have no damn chill, next thing you find out he's already moving to one of your friends and then you ask him why? He tells you because there's really nothing going on with you guys. Now you become the stupid person and start

Image
In no particular order I run down my five favorite things at the moment. I wonder how often my favorite things change. My Spectranet Mobile wifi  AH!!! Since this one came into my life, never a dull moment. Then new bundle I got gives me unlimited night browsing. It's just everything a girl wants. My Laptop  I earn my pay by spending the better part of my day on this system. I spend time on the blog via this system. So naturally I'm obsessed. In my head I use a Macbook, that explains the picture. Cooking Cooking for myself, cooking for my family and someone special. I just really enjoy spending time in the kitchen and I will really like to get better at it. Pillow Talk Zayn Malik did so well in pillow talk! I love the song and I love the message.

My favorite Blog features....

My duty is to share the things I love, everytime I remember and any time I am inspired. I read a lot of features and some of my favorite things are narratives about almost anything. My boyfriend is cheating, I got my friends sister pregnant and all that...  Aunty Bella Aunty Bella is the agony aunt column on BellaNaija that periodically feature issues sent in by BN readers. My favorite part isn't the stories it's the comments, people are so quick to tell you what to do and start up the cutest fights and bring in the word of God. If you are on bellanaija.com you can check it out. Average Guys Guide 360nobs has some of the most sexual features the list is endless from Women sex wednesday to all the options available in their love, sex and relationship column. My favorite to read is Average guy's guide to everything, and mostly involves sex and all things relationship related, it is highly insightful to know what boys think about, you should check it out.  Ask Oloni

Easter Monday Banter: Upcoming for 5 years???

Image
Just banter, but recent events on my TL made me think about how some people actually make great music and are not getting that recognition in the industry. This selection is based on the performances they book (opening act) and the title they give them- Upcoming artist. I think it just gets to a point where it shouldn't be so, and it has a lot to do with the record label you are with and how much they are willingly to invest in you. Skales is someone who was upcoming for a while, but once he switched labels he dropped his album and he's now Skales the artist not the upcoming one. Based on TL banter, I present some of my Upcoming and not coming up so quick artist; 1. Dammy Krane  'Dammy Krane for the girls oh"  since 2011 and he is still upcoming. He also put an album out and its not doing so great. Well he said some people WIZKID   are stealing his content so maybe that's why. 2. BOJ  My lord!! I love Boj's voice and there is something melo abou

Hollywood themed party with Candy byte

When I am not writing for 360nobs or my blog, I work with Candy Byte. They offer candy buffet services, ranging from candy tables to candy bags, chocolate fountain and more. This week we had to cater to over 500 children for a hollywood themed party for a 10 year old and it was a struggle I must admit.

Happy Birthday Ibukun...

Image
So my friend's birthday was on Thursday and she celebrated last night at oriental hotel. She wanted a themed all white party, but I don't know how to act so I wore wine and it was so accidental that she was wearing red. To make me look even worse the table cloth was the exact color of my dress. Check pictures from the night out.

Nepotism, Law suits and other stories

Image
In light of recent events, nepotism was trending on twitter for the better part of today. People had the funniest tweet and I'll share them. But I have to say, it sometimes is easier to hire based on referral in private companies, but if it comes to federal level you should be more about who has better qualification and if your niece does, you should hire her. True. Life is not fair. Even as my parents are helping me get jobs. Some peoples parents have made it such that they'll never have to work. — Seun Adebajo (@seunadebajo) March 17, 2016 My dad, mom, aunt, uncle etc should now become governor, deputy governor etc... And I'll carry CV upandan? *laughs in nepotism" — Adejolade (@_Brayz) March 17, 2016 Lil Kesh turned 21 today and he got himself a car    Benz and dropped his début album, YAGI. Well Lil Kesh is offended the bloggers want to put him in 'Gbese' by leaking his album and has threatened them via twitter. A wise man once said "

Comfort Inn Ending...

Jhene Aiko is married to a Yoruba man!!! No surprise there, her name is Efuru which is Igbo, and she has tweeted in Yoruba back in 2014. Her husband  Dot Da Genius  (real name  Oladipo Omishore ) is a music producer and he’s also turning 30 this year. He posted via Instagram to wish her a happy 28th birthday.  He has since locked his account and post is no longer available.  See her cute response in Yoruba means, Thank you, love you very much and I hope you understand what I am saying.   @DotDaGenius ese gan... mon'ife e! 👀 — Efuru (@JheneAiko) March 16, 2016 @DotDaGenius Se nko ti mo so ye e? — Efuru (@JheneAiko) March 16, 2016

Head gear, Scrabble and Other stories

I learnt four different ways to tie a scarf on Tuesday and I have tried it out all week. I don't know if my extremely fashionably boss gave me a compliment or not today but he took note. That's something to hold on to and probably means go on with it. I should do a tutorial soon. I play scrabble on my iphone with this words with friends app and I am currently leading 11 people that's worthy of mention. Want to challenge me to a friendly game? Boluwatife03  Mercedes Benz Fashion week Joburg gave me major laughs today, looking at some of the collections made me laugh so hard I had to invite my colleagues to look. There was one interesting collection however and the label is called 'Selfi' awesome South African designer. Lunch today was lit, my boli and beans had international exposure and it just made my afternoon, unknown to me I would arrive at the house and make wheat with chicken stew and okro!!! Thankful for food today. Saw the f

Fashion Lookbooks, LASTMA Officials and other stories.

Image
I first need to start by saying I need a car!!! Today was super embarrassing when the transit I boarded apparently dropped a passenger at a bus stop that is not recognised by the state. LASTMA officials jumped into the bus and drove it to the next bus stop and instructed the conductor to return balance to the passengers.   I felt super bad and started crying inside, because shame. But I was at the bus stop before mine and another bus was just N50. Tbh! LASTMA officials are touts in uniform and they are so ghetto especially Officer Ayinde, Jakande,Lekki. February just ended as well Fashion week abroad, I spent a great deal of time featuring collections and talking about the models, well it is time for Nigerian designers to release Spring/Summer collection but in reality all we have is Harmattan,Sun and Rain. I saw the most beautiful dress today in one of the look books. Do you agree? Well Tuesdays are usually random and I turned down a job interview today. And I spent my l

Waist Trainer Fail, Debola @ 30, 9ja Banana and other stories.

Image
I love Mondays, first because I work with a blog and I get to catch up on weekend events every Monday!!! This week Debola Williams turned '30', Olori supergal was in attendance and Nigerian Pussy song got a remix. Debola Lagos as I like to call him, came to speak to my class while I was in Uni, I assumed he was middle aged man who was married and had 3 kids. It's okay for us to constantly doubt pageant contestants age but people want me to believe that this 40 year old looking man is 30. Okay Waist Trainer Epic fail!!!!! Olori Supergal , who is your friend that allowed you do such nonsense, you really messed up. But if I had a waist shaper company I'll sign you as my new ambassador and get you to work out and represent the brand positively , I believe people will buy, because anything that can hold that tummy of yours should be high demand. A203 did a song titled Naija Banana; Sounding like Vic o and friends dabbing shamelessly and giving people more rea
