Mood relaxer What do you know about red wine? Asides from it depicting class and or sophistication, it has a lot of scientific and medical benefits. Medically, it has been proven as an effective heart healthy drink. Scientifically, it has been proven to relieve stress and help one relax, when taken in moderate amounts of course. For me after a very stressful day, I love to relax my tensed body by taking a glass of red wine, before retiring to bed. At other times, when I’m…

Good morning everyone, It’s been raining for more than 2 hours here, I’m up so early to work on a project and honestly I just want to sleep, I can feel my bed beckoning for me to feel it’s warmth. Anyways, I just wanted to show you guys what I snack on to keep me awake in times like this. It’s plantain chips as seen in the attached photo. It keeps my mouth moving, reduces hunger cramps and ultimately helps to keep me awake. Let me rush back to what I was working on…… stay…
You can’t do it! It’s not your place! You’re a failure! You won’t succeed! You’re not smart! You’re not beautiful! No one would marry/want to spend the rest of their life with you! You don’t mean anything! I read a post yesterday in which the author talked about how negative thoughts come alive/are manifested in reality. We were admonished not to nurture negative thoughts as positive thoughts brings positive realities and vice versa. While I kept thinking about it, I began…
Earlier today I was almost mugged. I can talk about it now because I finally feel safe. I was on my way to work, I boarded a cab, it had two passengers. A man in front, and a woman in the back. I sat in the backseat asked for the fare and our journey began. We rode for about 3-4 minutes then the woman sitting beside me suddenly said she was alighting here and the driver stopped. In retrospect I should have seen that as a red flag because it wasn’t a bus stop. I wanted to…
Does your body itch just immediately after taking your bath? This itching can be caused by scrubbing action of your wash cloth or for me most times, using cold water to bath. Let me share the few tips I’ve used to stop this itch. 1. I use warm water to bath 2. I add a little bit of oil to my bath water eg baby oil 3. I don’t use antiseptic soaps, instead I use mild ones infused with essential oils 4. I don’t use wash clothes/sponges to scrub my body while bathing 5. I add a…
I just got a new phone and I haven’t gotten a hang of the camera yet. I’ve seen beautiful pictures taken with a device like mine, but here I am, taking pictures that ain’t catchy at all. When I want to take a picture, I start asking myself What should I do ? Shall I hold the phone up straight? Shall I tilt the phone to a side? Shall I bend my back a little? How do I know if the lightening is enough? Why is my portrait picture not coming out like others? How do I edit this…
Saturday’s are usually for rest, hence I’d recommend a recently released Netflix movie. Title: The Harder they fall. Have you seen this movie on Netflix? I have and I was blown away 🤯, from the cowboy’s spirit to Idris Alba’s un-aging handsomeness, to the whole acting and the representation of feminism. Ohhh I love how the women in this movie took charge, it gave me a sense of pride. The climax of it for me was when they used the sound track “Olohun tawa shey ni yara, e je…
I stepped into the restaurant to get lunch today and I was forced to take pictures of the beautiful array of food on display. Dear friends this is my food trip for today. PS: I finally settled with getting jollof rice and barbecue chicken What are you having for lunch?
I’m at the mall and can’t seem to get my eyes off these beautiful yummy looking snacks. Maybe I’ll get some for lunch. I’m guessing stuffed buns and chicken burritos. Now I’m asking myself what I’m doing here, I was craving chicwizz all through the night, now it’s something else hahaha Do you feel like this sometimes? Happy Sunday
I’m sad, I know I shouldn’t be but I am. Why you ask? My friend is relocating. The thoughts of not being able to see at will anymore saddens me. I know I should be happy, it’s a better place, with a better job and pay, and overall it’s a start of good living for my friend. We planned everything together, from exams to interviews and I was always praying it worked out. No that it has, I’m sad. My friend says I shouldn’t be sad as we would still text and video call regularly,…
There’s nothing such as a bad advice. An advice is what it is an advice or should I say it’s just a piece of information. It’s how you implement it that makes you know if it was good or bad. One person says SAVE because of rainy days Another says SPEND because you only live once (YOLO) On the surface you can say the other person is wrong and term it bad advice, but it’s not. To someone who hustles all day without taking breaks, the SPEND advice is a very good one. To someone…
Can you swim? Hehehe, if there’s one thing I’m scared of it’s water. When I’m taking my bath I let out little screams as the water covers my nostrils. Once my eyes are shut, and just a little water touches me I start feeling like I’m drowning. One time I went to the swimming pool with my friend, he wanted to teach me how to swim. We started slowly and I was trying to easy into it until he increased the time I had to spend under water. I felt like I would die and was grasping…
A lot of you noise cash friends have always been like, learn to take a break, you should rest more. I have a question for you lot today. How do you tell your employer you are tired and need a break? How do you tell them you need to rest just for some time? I’ve not been feeling so well lately and I’m afraid I would breakdown soon. But the only times you get that break/rest time is when you’re broken down completely. I don’t want that for me, I want some time to rest now…
I just got back from grocery shopping at the store. Up next is making breakfast. I’ll be making chicken sandwich with a slice of ham and some cheese. I’ll be stepping this down with an orange juice I’ve had in my fridge. After breakfast, I’d sort out all the groceries I just got and then start prepping for lunch which would also serve as my dinner, as I’d be taking some of my lunch to work as dinner. Who can guess what I’d be making for lunch?
I think I owe you all an update. After breakfast I decided to take a short nap, to my surprise I woke up at 3pm 😮, I couldn’t make my lunch/dinner for work. I had to do a rush preparation for work because my shift begins at 4pm. I eventually ended up ordering a burger for my missed lunch, and fried rice for my dinner. To all my friends that I promised to show a picture of the delicious jollof rice and fried chicken, I am sorry 😞 How did your day go? #Photography
I Loathe Bullying **I’m saying it again, I loathe bullies.** It’s funny how my first article which I had planned would be an introductory one, giving you all insight into my personal life and my character, has taken a new turn, a good one if you ask me hahaha. Don’t worry I promise it would be worth your read I just got so riled up and I think I’d use mad instead of uncomfortable because that’s exactly how I felt after reading a story of the net. I won’t bore you with the…
I don’t know if there’s anyone else out here like me? I’ll tell you why. I’m not excited about this year’s Christmas and all other festivities at the end of the year, as a matter of fact I’m not looking forward to it. Partly because I have a strong feeling that I’d be at work for most of it, which in a way saddens me. Asides that, I’m just not ready to move on from this year, not that this year is so fantastic or that I have something good going on for me that I don’t want…
When I’m out of options for breakfast inspiration, my go to is the basic. Bread and peanut butter. I love the extra crunchy one and nutzy has got me covered on that part. I also love to sometimes pair it with strawberry/apple flavored jam. How’s your day going?
Who here loves goat meat? I got spoilt while i was on my NYSC posting immediately after completing my university studiy, I randomly think about it and wish I can go back to those days. There was a meat seller who eventually became my padi (meaning personal person). He introduced me to buying goat meat and since then I became a believer. Every weekend I buy fresh goat meat from him and decide what I want to do with it. At times he sends a delivery bike to bring it to me. And…
How important is integrity to you? My heart is heavy. I resumed work and got news that a friend of mine at work was suddenly laid off while I was off duty. Why I asked? I couldn’t figure out any reason a diligent and hardworking person such as her should be laid off work. She stole from a patient was the response I got. I couldn’t believe it even after hearing the whole story of how it happened, I still can’t believe it. It’s so shocking, I don’t even know if I’m…
Being your brother’s keeper isn’t an heresy. It should be what we do so much that it becomes an unconscious part of us. I was on my way to work yesterday evening in a bus. We got to a T-junction and we were waiting for the traffic light to pass us. While waiting, a driver on the other side of the road wanted to make a U-turn into our lane, as he was making the attempt, the driver of the bus I was in just started shouting “no U-turn here, drive forward and make the turn…
Forget about the beauty or money for a minute, think about the “For better for worse part”. I saw a video where an old couple was on stage. The man was to receive an award and he tried giving his wife a handshake as though she were part of the dignitaries celebrating them. He has dementia and he couldn’t differentiate his wife from others on stage. Guess what his wife did, she pulled him close and kissed him. At that point I realized that the best thing to get in this world…
It’s lunch time. Here’s my food trip for today. I’m at the lounge for a quick lunch. I’m having Jollof rice, with plantain and fried beef in stew. I’m stepping it down with a can of soft drink and of course water. Here’s a little reminder to always drink lots of water, plus you know what they say “Drink water and mind your business”, 🤣. PS: I need a quick fix to belly fats, my belly has been growing bigger and bigger recently, I’ve started getting the are you pregnant…
Today was “Date night” as it was the first weekend in about 2 months that I was free from work. I hadn’t been able to go on dates as I was always busy and thankfully I had lots of fun today. We went to eat pizza and had some ice cream too. I had the sweet and sour chicken flavor and it was so yummy. My boo didn’t want to eat pizza so he ordered roasted pepper chicken. I had finished eating my pizza before I remembered I didn’t take a picture, hahaha don’t mind me it was…
“Random Thoughts” There is no late comer to success in life. Because that friend of yours already has life sorted out for him, or he’s already so successful in that business venture he started doesn’t mean that you won’t also be a success. Take life one step at a time, don’t rush, stop trying to copy what others are doing, figure life out yourself, and lastly find out what works for you. Never give up, when there’s will, there’s a way. Have a productive Monday.…
Who’s hungry? Grab a fork and join me noisers. It’s lunchtime over here, I’m having spaghetti with fried plantain and fried fish stew. Thanks to my lovely friend @MaMel for blowing the sun over to my side, it worked as it’s pretty sunny now😊 I hope we all had an exciting Monday, who is ready for Tuesday?
I am the best dancer you can ever find out there. I don’t like advertising myself but I think I need to do it right now to set something’s straight. I can do the best legwork to ever be done, you want to see the best happy feet or guaraguara dance, I’m your guy. You want to see the best twerk ever I’m still your guy. Let me let y’all on a little secret 🤫, I coach some of your faves their dance moves, Cardi B; Beyoncé and the likes, ask them they would tell you. Before you…
I had the worst experience while commuting to work this morning. I woke up quite early and left my house for work at 5:30am. I got in a public commuter vehicle heading towards the island only for us to get to about 1/4 of the journey and this vehicle stopped. I and the other 6 passengers were alarmed, the vehicle stopped moving at a crucial spot where we couldn’t even board another. After waiting for about 30mins flagging different cars down, I gave up and decided to ride on…
Alas December is upon us. Remember it’s a time to shower love and receive love. It’s a reminder of God’s love through the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore let’s be reminded to show genuine love to everyone around us. I’ll live you all with the song “Love Someone” by Lukas Graham, it has been living rent free in my head since morning. #randomthoughts #noisecash #sharelovealways
It’s the last month of the year. What are you most thankful for? I’ll start first, I’m thankful for life I had so many encounters where I’d have died but God kept me and saved me from each of them. I’m thankful for provision, I entered 2021 as a broke, indebted and frustrated youth, with no job and no clear hopes of getting any, but God showed up for me. I’m not rich now but I can survive. I’m also thankful for my family, God’s love has been binding us together on a steady.…
