Am sexy and I know it!.....Does that cliché sound familiar? Am sure it does. We live in a highly sexualized society. Everyone is so aware if their sexiness. We all want to look hot and sexy.
I got this off a friends dp and I thought to my self "Tosin you should should write about this."



According to this pix, if you were plus size several years ago, you will be considered as sexy. But today, you have to be super slim ...like Barbie doll, and still have the right curves in the right places....now that's something interesting to think of.

Unfortunately, it is also something to be worried about. Women are going through extreme means just to look hot. Those means include going under the knife (cosmetic surgery ), excessive waist training and extreme dieting to mention a few.

Don't get me wrong, I like to look good. I also believe in weight management. Besides, if you are fit and healthy, you will definitely look good. But when it gets to an obsessive state, then its time to draw the line . The society we live in right now, is totally obsessed with looks.
And no one is free from the weight loss rave.
Plus size women have complex because they think they are not so beautiful.
People of larger sizes are been teased mercilessly by peers, families, friend and even the media.
Young girls think they have to be a beauty queen to get a real man.
Husbands want wives to look like the leggy 18 year old on the front page of Cosmo. Even though the woman has had five children for him, she is still expected to look like a cover page model. Forgetting that it took several childbirths, for a woman's body to get there.
Lots of men treat their wives with contempt just because she is fat/ overweight.
In the entertainment world, you have to look hot regardless of your talents. More so, you only have two options in the industry. You either lose the weight fast or you enjoy hot criticism on how you look.

We are loosing values too fast. Things that shouldn't matter are now our priorities.
We are all about looks. In fact,
good looks is an idol that is widely worshipped today.....Selah

One Question? Who should really decide rules for looking good. You or the world system.
Well, I like to let you know the the world system is unreliable, fickle, and can change anytime.
The only way to decide rules that should govern our lives is through unchanging word of God.

Consider this verses below and meditate on it;













We have forgotten the person of the heart which ultimately maftters to God.
It takes more than a hot body to be a good woman , wife, and a good mother.





Looking good is definitely good business. But, it becomes bad business, when its obsessive , unhealthy, and judgmental.

Only God knows what got into me to write this. Some say when you get intellectually high, creativity is born. I definitely assure you, that no drugs were involved it was pure joy.

On my birthday, pops woke me up with a phone call, and doused me and hubs with loads of prayers.
Thank God for praying parents. If you have one you have got a treasure. If you haven't got one, become one and be a treasure to your children . Popsi of life! I love ya!!! Guess you can't say that to African parents. Just skip the first part and say "I love you", and don't forget to say it in English. It kinda sounds awkward in Yoruba or is it just me. lol

Moving on...you would think with early morning blessings, I would start out on the right foot. But Nah! I didn't. My evil side kinda poped up, I got into trouble with someone very dear to me. Definitely not hubs, but someone very awesome. Thankfully,we made up. Our short lived clash got me thinking on how birthdays should be celebrated.
Should it be a time of reflection or time of gyration and celebration.


With my serious face, I stated pondering over my life. Good lord! I am getting older.






I don't have wrinkles yet, but I am not sixteen again like last year....erm , don't look shocked I wasn't actually sixteen last year. Lolz
But, I will surely start having wrinkles someday and won't really be a pretty face again. At least, think I am a pretty face. ( Chuckles)
I thought to myself , when I am leaving this world I want to be assured that I have known the truth and lived the truth. I don't want to regret not doing the right things or making the right decisions. It would be a shame if I never learnt from my mistakes ,never made brave decisions because of cowardice.
I want to have lived the life and left no stone unturned. I don't mean doing drugs, booze, stripping poles, doing all sorts of crazy stuffs. I simply mean I want have fulfilled before hitching the death ride. I want to be like paul, who said "I have fought a food fight."
That's how I want to end. And thus, my reflections showed me things I need to do and not do. And also the things I need to keep doing, so I can end well
Man's days are fleeting and it soon passes away. Like flower that blossoms and withers, so are the days of our life. It's so easy to be carried away with everything going on and lose sight of God and our purpose.


Ok! so you would think I reflected all through the day. Nah! I didn't not. Hubs, been the one with pleasant surprises popped up his surprise and I was like yaay me! Its time to giddy up. So we partied in our own way . oh dear! I even abandoned my diet. No thanks to those sumptuous meals, I now have some extra pounds to deal with. Not to worry Sergeant Green tea to the rescue!






Ahh! This post is getting do long and I am getting tired. Why don't I have voice typing app ? Even Google voice app seem to understand our English at all. Nawa oh! If this app can't understand Lagos accent, then how will it understand pidgin? Smmh*
Somebody please pass the word to app developers. I was thinking by now the app should be able to understand Ijebu and also type it.lolz
I guess I'll be rounding up now (News flash).
It will be terrible if I end this post without acknowledging those who sent me heartfelt wishes. My family, My sweet in-laws ( they were really sweet), My church fam ( most especially my fellow teachers ). Old school mates, blogger friends,Facebook friends, longtime friends. Its so good to have awesome friends around you. I really felt like a princess even though my father is like 10th in line to throne in my village. Lwkmd.
Thank you all.





One more thought; this post was scheduled for my birthday, why wait till today before posting? Should I continue? Kai! you too like gist.
Peace people!
