Movie Review: Ocean’s 8

How to Speak With an MTN Customer Representative in 15 Seconds or Less
Getting through to a Customer care representative on MTN Nigeria is almost as hard as trying to speak with the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and gosh, I wish I were joking.

Food Photography: Okro Soup
I’ll be honest and admit that I wasn’t prepared for how beautiful this Okro looked on camera. Zooming in close, my lenses picked up on those tiny delicate hairs on the okro pod, giving so much texture to this simple vegetable. I fell in love with the pentagon shape of the okra slices and the small white seeds. I wish I had a proper micro lens so I could really capture the intricate details of this beautiful vegetable.

Movie Review: Tyler Perry’s Acrimony
hen she said “I gave him everything, and I was everything he needed me to be” I knew I had to see this movie. This is another one with our favourite girl Taraji P Hanson, and she had me feeling all kinds of ways in this movie, and I’m not even sure how to articulate this.
Book Review: The Outsider by Stephen King
This book is not as entertaining as it is disturbing. It brings up a lot of personal questions with respect to the power of identity its theft. What if there is another you?
Food Photography: Rice and Stew
I decided to attempt dark food photography after being inspired by a Pinterest blog. My first attempt was a disaster because I couldn’t get my camera settings right, the black cardboard came out looking blue and I didn’t know as many Adobe Light room tricks as I do now.

Movie Review: 50 Shades Freed…Indeed

And then, there is 50 Shades Freed.

Following the title, I came across this informal blog post theme and loved the idea of having a chit-chat and catching up with my readers on the little things in my life that don’t necessarily make it into my other blog posts.
