7 SELF DATE IDEAS

-


Self dating is so important to me. Lately as a single girl I've found self dating so fulfilling that I decided to share with you guys how I have fun on weekends or any other day by myself just getting to know me and what I really do like and Love.

 Just before I delve into self dating, I should let you guys know that self date isn't for singles alone. Any one (both boys and girls alike) has to have some alone time and get to know yourself more.So since I have been indulging in self dates and finding it utterly fulfilling, here are 7 self date ideas that has totally appealed to me and was totally fun.

 1) COOK A MEAL YOU'VE NEVER COOKED BEFORE.



 The process of trying something new is thrilling. I randomly pick a dish from a cook book and try replicating it. Truth be said, some times I flop badly that I end up not eating the food and getting a take out, however the process is fun. It has helped me know what kind of food I love and can prepare and invariably when I start dating again, I would have lots of dishes to make for my man. 

 2) HOME SPA

 I usually opt for the home spa on weekends. The whole idea is to pamper yourself and feel rejuvenated. First off I make sure I get some really good candles (lavender scented candles are my absolute favorite), fill the tub with warm water, add some essential oils and take a nice long soak. After then I religiously go through my 10 step skin care routine over a glass of white wine. Trust me on this, the feeling is so amazing especially when you have a soft tune playing in the background. 

 3) BAKE SOME GOODNESS

This would probably be my go to self date. Asides the fact that I love hot pastries, I enjoy reading a book while enjoying the goodness (or not so good) I baked. I usually go for desserts I have not tried out before. Like I earlier stated, the idea is to learn something new while taking time to enjoy being by yourself. Last two weeks I made some blueberry scones that was totally amazing. I enjoyed every bit of it. 

 4) READ A BOOK

Give me a cup of coffee and a good book and I'll probably not leave the couch the whole day. 
Damn..... I love a good romance novel any day any time. I'm currently reading one now titled ''SWEET AS SIN'' (Gosh! that novel is so interesting). Spending time in a world of imagination while flipping the pages of a book is total bliss to me. Its so bad that I totally prefer to spend time with the characters in the book that going on dates. I'm guilty as charged but I love a good LOVE story as I'm a sucker for love.  It's really orgasmic. 

 5) HOME MOVIE DATE:



A good movie and some freshly popped corn is ideal for a self date. Its even super interested if your partner is on-board. Proper Netflix and chill. 

 6) PARTY ALONE WHILE TRYING OUT SOME SELF MADE COCKTAILS

I love my drinks and above all, I love to try out new things. My perfect Friday night date is a functional home stereo, drinks and ice. I party all by myself until either I get tired from dancing or the booze wears me down. I love my Friday nights especially when I party alone. 

 7) TAKE A PAINTING CLASS AT HOME


Two things that sum me up, LOVE &ART. I love taking some painting lessons at home. Its so therapeutic and I get to improve my painting skills. 

 If you are a single, its the perfect time to self date and get to know more about yourself while basking in the fullness of how amazing you are. Try any of these self date ideas or all as the case maybe. There are so many self date ideas but these are my best and I enjoy every one of it.

5 Ways To Get Out Of A BAD Mood

-

We sometimes get into a really bad mood either after having a conversation that didn’t end well, a work meeting that ended on a sour note, a bad hair or dress day or even having a bad mood that you have no clue at the moment as to why you feel so moody or sad.  These feelings can longer and end up ruining the whole day and disrupting a great opportunity for us to live this wonderful life. After the words “Once today goes by, you can NEVER get it back” sank deep into my consciousness and even my sub-consciousness, I take the most of each day and try to enjoy this life.  So here are my 5 ways to snap out  of a bad mode quickly.  1) Acknowledge the reason that put you in a bad mood. Now this is not the time to address it. It’s just for you to recognize that you are in a bad mood and what is causing it.  2) Change environment. Stepping away from the surrounding or change of scenery is the next best step to take if you want to get out of a bad mood. Remaining at the same place can cause you

The War Within

The brown rusty leaves rolled over her legs as she sat helpless on the grass. The park was sparsely populated which made it very easy to stay unnoticed. Lifting her head, struggling to see through the heavy clog of tears welling up in her eyes. The day was getting dark, darkness has become her place of solace. She kept a steady gaze at the kids running freely, playing catch while she battled with the decision of either staying back or going home. Home? That house didn’t feel like home and it hasn’t felt like home in a long while. The mind drifted to when she was a child with little or nothing contending for space or attention in her head except for love and the ‘’can do spirit’’, which spurred her to fly without wings and run without shoes to distances that were unimaginable. She lived as free as the wind and that was the bliss of childhood which she fought to get rid of and step into adult shoes. Since stepping into those overly talked about shoes, its been filled with

THE UNKNOWN CALL

I twisted to critically appraise my curves in the tall glass one last time. I had not watched television or gone on a proper date for over three months, not since work had become so demanding. Part of me still aggrandized the image of lying in bed, snacking on a good pan pizza and finally sleeping off on some random Netflix movies. I twitched the pleat on the skirt and adjusted the waist line. Needless to say, I looked good and the mental picture stuck. The buzzing of my phone interrupted my thoughts. My mind quickly raced to my date. His surname was yet to stick and so was my need to get seriously involved with another man. The caller was unknown and on sliding the green icon on the screen, his voice came live. ‘’Miss jones’’? Yes, speaking” ‘’I’m guessing you know miss Edith Uwaoma’’? Yes, I do, but who is on the line’’? The voice on the other end of the line was far from familiar. He said evasively, ‘’Please make your way to the hosp
