TO WHO IT MAY CONCERN
I saw the nasty comments yesterday on the G.O.A.T post and i am back to tell you that i use your opinion on my axx after i am doing offloading....I do me and that is why i look good..
As for the person who asked what i us on my skin, i dont really do much...I adivsed you people to take collagen supplments didnt i? As a woman, you cannot just leave your skin, especially as you get older...You need to CARE FOR YOUR SKIN so that it can breath!
Use collagen and hylauron....Hylauron gives you the glass skin look...it takes a long time and a lot of patience to achieve but you will get there...
I am totally in love with myself and so crazy about me...When i saw Derenle's photos marrying himself, I understood.....When you dont look back to see who loves you but give yourself all of your loving, plus my hubbys own added.......I have the most supportive husband and he doesnt stress me at all, so it all adds up..........
So if you are still single, look for a man who supports your dreams, loves your drama and protects you when you are not in the room...
Before i forget, if you are taking photos, makes pouts and dont just leave your mouth or face bleeeeeeeeeeeeeh.........So if you find my mouth style anyhow , thats on you..upgrade yourself abg...
Please i hope NNe IR will not come and do a long memo schooling me on anything about this photo? cos she does it a lot and sometimes i dont like it.....leave my beauty for me like this oh....

The only accident I have ever had; happened when I was about eight years old. It was school morning, and my mother was taking six of us to school. My siblings and I were joined by our four neighbours, who attended the same school.
As we were by the road, we held hands and prepared to cross together. Everything seemed normal. Then, suddenly, my memory went blank.
The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital bed with a large plaster wrapped around my head. I was confused and disoriented, struggling to remember my own name and recognize the faces around me.
I faintly saw my mum rolling on the floor in appreciation that I didn't die because I had hit my head.
As the days passed and my condition improved, curiosity pushed me to ask my mother what had happened. She explained that while we were waiting to cross, I unexpectedly broke away from the group and ran into the road. A speeding car struck me with so much force.
She wanted to know why I had done something that dangerous. According to her, my response was that someone standing across the road had been calling me and beckoning me to come. Yet, to this day, I have no memory of seeing anyone there.
That answer unsettled me. It raised questions I could never fully answer. It made me realize that there are mysteries in life that cannot always be explained. Sometimes, there is far more happening around us than what our eyes can see.
After three long weeks of recovery, I finally returned to school.
Hmmmmmmmm

MEMO TO BV EXCESSCODE
Someone dropped a comment yesterday asking why you would allow me rename your child chucky and insulted u for it..Please let me know if i should revert to another name but we both know taht we named him chucky cos of the shoe he wore in a birthday photo...
My friend that lives in the US; his name is Chukwudi and i call him Chucky so dont know why the name chucky should be a bad thing to call....

TRENDING MARRIAGE QUESTION.
A husband asked his wife:
"If I become poor tomorrow and lose everything I have, will you still love me?"
His wife smiled and replied:
"I didn't marry your money. I married the man who made me feel loved, cared for, protected, and valued."
That response started an interesting debate...
What keeps a marriage stronger in the long run?
A. Love
B. Money
C. Care
D. Protection
E. Respect
F. All of the above
Many people fall in love because of attraction, but they stay in love because they feel safe, appreciated, supported, and cared for.
A good spouse is not just someone who says "I love you." A good spouse shows love through actions:
- Checking on you when you're tired.
- Standing by you during difficult times.
- Protecting your peace and reputation.
- Supporting your dreams.
- Making you feel important every day.

Please for me, it is all of the above, i dont belong to those who claim love lives without money, IT DOESNT!!!

A MEMO TO WOMEN ON WCW
Dear WOMAN!
Marriage is too long a life's journey to do it with a 'mute' Partner. Yes, trust me. Marriage is a lifetime contract you enter without any guarantees, ...so much uncertainty, ..unreasonable family & societal expectations, ...no step-by-step manual and certainly, ...no take-you-by-the-hand mentor.
For this sole reason alone, please Dear Sis, do your future self a favour to marry one who can communicate: communicate his vision, his pain, his purpose, his challenges and most importantly communicate his feelings to you and with you. For when there's a communication breakdown in a Marriage, all other burdens would seem too heavy to bear. Don't disfavour yourself that way.
Marry a man who can talk with you, to you, to God and not feel his ego is under the knife. A man that is, at least willing to learn, even if he wasn't one yet, he should learn, practice and start using this skill before you say I DO!
Take this advice from one who's been there, done that, and you'd come back to thank me! Selah!

Portugal my National Team is playing today, Let's go Portugal, let's go CR7, let's go Bruno.
ReplyDeleteNa for during World Cup you go they hear names of different countries for the very first time.
Football ⚽ it's a beautiful game.
Messi deserves a Red card on that tackle last night, but we all know his FIFA's favourite.
Ojukwu should perform well or score his own hat-trick, if not Messi fans go roast una wetin no good.
DeleteGood afternoon people
DeleteCuriosity make me ask?
ReplyDeleteLadies do you call your man BABY?

Good day... I wave big handkerpant to all of una here..

DeleteI wonder why o. I can't call my hubby baby biko.
DeleteLol, na real Kung fu & taekwando rice 😂
DeleteSdk the with skin like glass 😍😘
ReplyDeleteStella, I suggest you cook simple chinese fried rice. I keep mine simple without the eggs. Long grained rice 🌾 carrots, green & red peppers. Just fry your onions, add ginger & garlic powder etc & add to already half boiled rice, add the slantly cut veg's and voila! 😋 You can eat with any protein 🍖🍤🍗
Enjoy your day beautiful people 😍😘
Hello beautiful Adunni 😍
DeleteWhat you described is not Chinese kan kan! Tiwa n tiwa ni
DeleteMercybee dear 😘🤗
DeleteLora darling, no be lie o 🤣😄
It's my simple go-to veg rice ....inspired by Chinese rice 😊
Your description is mouth-watering. Yummy!😋
DeleteHello Adunniade, thanks for the check..i am doing fine.
DeleteEnjoy your day too beautiful
Sisi Lora and mercy bee, i hope you both are fine too.
This is stir fry fried rice and even at that you skipped the oyster and soy sauces
DeleteHow can you refer to this procedure as Chinese fried rice bikonu? How. For your information Chinese fried rice is best done with cold rice or a day old cooked rice. These days, I like to boil my rice a day ahead before use. What has ginger and garlic powder got to do with Chinese fried rice? When fresh garlic is key to flavour, ginger has no business with it. I like it simply done with scrmabled eggs and shrimps or shredded chicken Towards the end of cooking, you put freshly chopped spring onions. As for seasoning, White pepper powder, light soy sauce and if you want it darker, put a bit of dark soy , toasted Sessame oil. But to each their own if you decide to add every other thing but the kitchen sink
DeleteMs Liberal
Hey sis@Mariam, good to know you are doing well. Aku asiko yi o, a tu wa lara.
DeleteMy regards to the lil' man.
Thanks Omo T darling 😘
DeleteAwww Maymay dearie 🥰
Good to hear you're fine 🤗
You're right Anon, it's a simple timely stir fry...I don't use soy sauce always dear 😊
Mrs Liberal, pls go back and read your writeup...it would have been a great advise but you spoilt it with your last paragraph. It's actually stir fry I should have said not Chinese.
Life is not too hard to be coming hard on others pls.
There is nothing to go back to read. I knew very well what I wrote. The last sentence is neither as serious as you think nor spoilt as you say. It is simply a joke used for people who like to put everything that is not needed in food, "hence everything but the kitchen sink". My suggestion is not about condensation. Okay?
DeleteI see people put all vegies, all protein, kidney beans, sweet corn etc and call it fried rice( to each their own)
Life is not that hard for sure, I myself don't know it all. Someone out there may also see my input as not good enough for Chinese fried rice. One love.
Ms Liberal
Mariam dear I'm good. Nice to have here today. Enjoy your evening 😘
DeleteIt's neither as serious but you faced it like Waec exam 🤣🤣
DeleteAbeg, life is too sweet to be bothering myself with cooking brouhaha ojare.
I suppose that is how you faced waec so you assume for others . I would have laughed maybe, but I don't see the funny. You obviously took the input too serious otherwise you would have ignored.
DeleteMs Liberal
You are soooo petty, Ms Liberal!
DeleteAnd the bandits who use the guns to kill are forgiven and reintegrated into the society, which kain country be dis?
ReplyDeleteAll I see is wickedness from demons...from the out of hell 😈
DeleteSad reality,may God come through for Nigeria, Amen

Just tell your male BVs not to cross boundaries and keep it cool like martins.
The other day I made a comment, Teejay came under my comment and mentioned that I'm not wise. Can't you disagree politely,?
Anon, ignore that silly town crier. Imagine saying you are not wise. Someone that boasts that he is a blog celeb, like he can use it to withdraw money or process visa. Silly man child that has refused to have sense.
DeleteWhat if true true u nor wise ?
DeleteNa that dunce you wan follow talk?
DeleteIgnore it.

GOOD AFTERNOON MY SDK FAMILY.
ReplyDeleteStella truly you are beautiful and I love your glass skin .
Stella your skin is truly popping. I wish my facial skin can look neat like this without makeup or phone filter.
ReplyDeleteAs for the non-Nigerian food, would you cook Ghanaian food? Let me ask this my Ghanaian friend to give me a recipe for one of their foods in Ghana. I'm coming back.
Mtscheeeewww
DeleteYes I'm back with the Ghanaian food recipe as promised Stella
DeleteMy phone went off as I was typing a few hours ago.
My Ghanaian person gave
me different types of foods to pick from but I picked Kelewele.
Have you heard of Kelewele before?
It's a seasoned and spiced fried plantain, mostly eaten along with peanuts (groundnuts) in Ghana.
Let's prepare Kelewele with groundnuts.
Ingredients:
4 ripe plantains
3 cups of fresh peanuts with shells(groundnuts)
grated ginger (one tablespoon)
raw onion (one medium bulb)
garlic (one tablespoon of pound fresh garlic)
nutmeg (one teaspoon of grated nutmeg)
salt (a pinch to taste)
Vegetable oil (one bottle)
Spicy pepper one teaspoon (optional) Stella as you don't like pepper, let's skip it
Note, you can use powdered ginger and garlic if the fresh ones are not available
Preparation:
Wash the peanuts thoroughly and transfer into a pot, add a pinch of salt with water and boil for 20 minutes, bring it down and drain the water
Peel the plantains and cut them into small cubes.
Cut the onion into tiny pieces
Make a paste from the mixture of onion and all the other spices with salt
Mix the cut plantain together with all the spices and salt, make sure they are all well coated with the spices mixture.
Let the coated plantain sit and marinate for 15-30 minutes and absorb all the flavours
Then deep-fry until brown
Serve hot with the boiled groundnut
Note:You can also use fried groundnuts to eat it.
I will prepare it this weekend and see how the combination tastes.
So you never prepare am?
DeleteYou go download am from somewhere give pesin make e try am?
Some of you spend much on skin care products than eating foods that nourish skin.It's what is inside that reflects outside.
ReplyDeleteEat foods that contains vitamins and minerals, and see your skin glow naturally.
Also avoid exposing your skin to harsh weather.
Bath regularly with good toilet soap.
Moisturize with cream that doesn't contain harmful ingredients.
Drink water .
Avoid too much stress...shiekina
Ask them if they even use sunscreen
DeleteFact 💯💯💯

ReplyDeleteTrending Marriage Questions
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm(Please school me if I'm wrong)
This topic of about what makes marriage stronger at the long run is a debate I've done severally even before I got married due to experiences I got from married friend's.
You wonder why couples doesn't love themselves at the long run even when the money is available(don't go far: money only removes stress). Meaning that, rich couples can divorce too.
Again, you also ponder over the reason for love not existing in a family where CARE and PROTECTION exist.( Not far fetched : Care is a daily work and doesn't significantly to some extent influence love). You can care for someone at the same time not love the person. It's normal. While protection on the other hand deals with security issues, both physical, financial and emotional but the level or extent to which this influence love(marriage isn't that much when we try to qualitative method to this approach).
In conclusion, the most important thing in marriage is RESPECT. This is one of the strongest moderating factors that strongly influence LOVE. Respect is the foundation of anything, be it friendship, courtship or marriage. Where there is no respect, love dies, same love with change to contempt and the CARE will begin to diminish and turn to nagging.
Take respect away from a lovely home, filled with care, protection and riches and watch how such hole falls..

ReplyDeleteStella, I really don't know foreign dishes, maybe pasta and Bolognese sauce 😂. What did you cook though?
ReplyDeleteBeauty.
ReplyDeleteSee skin💋
Excess3code, you got a memo.
Hello All,
ReplyDeleteToday was kinda hectic but God be praised.
Stell, I recommend you cook spaghetti Bolognese. 😆
BVs eh! Stella oh!
ReplyDeleteMarried women are really suffering!
I recently cleaned out one of the rooms from which I could get a clear view of the street behind. I converted that room into my mini office.
I started my leave on Monday and have been working from this room. Since i live in a 4 storey apartment, its easy to peek at the houses below and bingo!
Something caught the corner of my eyes! I saw a grown man driving hard his train in and out of a teenage girl! This girl was really in sync with the whole bang. Next thing, there were loud horn from a car outside dia gate and she quickly dressed up.....long story short, she was the maid!
BVs, the madam came don the suv, elegantly dressed and very beautiful. There were so much foodstuffs to unpack from the car booth.
I just shook my head and will ofcourse face my front.
Marriage na film trick
Stella you look so good. Platinum blonde braid is always a go because you are tastefully light skinned. 😘
ReplyDeleteFor the food, why not cook fluffy Amala with egusi and goat meat with body odor? 🤤
Dear Stella, I don't have anything against the name Chucky . It is infact a lovely name. We laugh about it a lot with my wifey . I have also adopted it my LAPTOP screens. PAPA CHUCKY is now a brand name.
ReplyDeleteI just collected my phone from the repairer.
ReplyDeleteStella why don't you try this Indian recipe
The name is Chicken Tikka Masala.
It is made with chicken deboned, cut into small chunks, marinated in yoghurt and spices like garlic, turmeric, ginger, etc. leave for minimum of 5 hours to soak in the flavour and then roast or grill it.
After that, soak it in tomato sauce.
Can be eaten with basmati rice or potatoes, yam , plantain, etc.
If I do this, I will definitely eat the chicken like that after grilling..
I will keep a bottle of chilled malt beside it.
God pls provide for me, I want to enjoy myself small.
