A little inspiration from a beautiful song "The Sun Is Rising"

Hello Lovies,
I hope you all enjoyed your sallah break, the sallah break favoured me. God knows how much I really needed that break and the short holiday was wonderful to me, I think I even added a little weight because the monochrome skirt I had set aside for Wednesday is suddenly tight on me (a wide smile).

The song I want to share with you all today is good for your eardrums, Although it's not a new song, I heard it for the first time in the 2014 American romantic comedy "The Other Woman". I fell in love with it instantly, the sound and the words are perfect. It's by Britt Nicole, Enjoy!!!

THE SUN IS RISING BY BRITT NICOLE

When life has cut too deep and left you hurting
The future you had hoped for is now burning
And the dreams you held so tight lost their meaning
And you don't know if you'll ever find the healing

You're gonna make it
You're gonna make it
And the night can only last for so long

Whatever you're facing
If your heart is breaking
There's a promise for the ones who just hold on
Lift up your eyes and see
The sun is rising

Every high and every low you're gonna go through
You don't have to be afraid, I am with you
In the moments you're so weak, you feel like stopping
Let the hope you have, light the road you're walking

You're gonna make it
You're gonna make it
The night can only last for so long

Whatever you're facing
If your heart is breaking
There's a promise for the ones who just hold on
Lift up your eyes and see
The sun is rising

Even when you can't imagine how
How you're ever gonna find your way out
Even when you're drowning in your doubt
Just look beyond the clouds

Just look beyond the clouds

Whatever you're facing
If your heart is breaking
There's a promise for the ones who just hold on
Lift up your eyes and see
The sun is rising

The sun is rising

Even when you can't imagine how
How you're ever gonna find your way out
Even when you're drowning in your doubt
Just look beyond the clouds

Fashion Tips for Rainy Season

These Days, with global warming constantly affecting the earth's climate system, I can hardly tell when it's rainy season and when it's dry season. I can't say much about other states in Nigeria but in Port Harcourt, It started raining in January, so my sub-conscious side is always prepared for rain, even if I leave my house with the Sun smiling at me, I still go out with an umbrella, it's now an accessory my hand bag can't do without.

Though rainy season is enjoyed by everyone, but getting drenched in the rain may not be a very pleasant experience for most people. You would want to just sit back at home with a cup of tea or someone to cuddle and enjoy the rain. However this is not always possible. Everything has its own advantages and disadvantages....

One major disadvantage during this season is the clothes. You need to take extra care of what you wear as clothes get spoiled very easily. Raincoats and umbrellas are a saving grace but the main idea is to look chic and fashionable for the season.

A Few Fashion Tips to Help You

Boots or rubber shoes: During rainy season it is best to say good bye to your favorite pair of heels and sandals. You can rather go for boots or rubber shoes. Leather and suede shoes are a big NO. You may just not be able to save them from the rains.

Bare Essentials: Carrying a few essentials is very important, especially during rainy season. You wouldn’t want your outfit to get ruined by mud and puddle. Make sure you carry a raincoat or an umbrella to protect yourself.

Bright Colors: Dig into your wardrobe for bright colored clothes. It’s always good to wear bright clothes as they uplift your spirit. Dark clouds would make you feel low and gloomy, therefore do not allow this to dominate you.

Bags: Make sure that you carry a big plastic or rubber bag during rainy season to keep your raincoat or umbrella. Plastic bags have also come into use, just in case you want to carry your leather shoes so that you can change whenever you step out. Since plastic is waterproof you can be rest assured that you wouldn’t get stranded in the rain without carrying one.

A little inspiration from a beautiful song "IF TODAY WAS YOUR LAST DAY".

I dislike songs that have no meaning, whatever I listen to, has to have a meaning. I will be publishing some of my best songs and today, I will like to share the lyrics of Nickelback's "If Today Was Your Last Day", My best friend shared this song with me last year, I fell in love with the sound but most especially the beauty of the words. It's one song that helps me wake up, when I start to sleep walk. ENJOY!!!

"If Today Was Your Last Day"

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreaming' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
