World of Miss Mimi

As the heading implies, I’ll be bidding farewell to Ramblings of Miss Mimi guys. If you follow me on my social media pages, you probably would have got the hint that this was coming, so this will be my last post on ramblingsofmissmimi.wordpress.com.

Change is an inevitable process in life and with change should come growth. And I’ve definitely grown since I started this blog in 2009/10. If you’ve…

Six Things I’ve Learned In Six Months Of Marriage

Just like that, six months have flown by. To be honest, it actually feels like it’s been longer like this has been the norm for years. That’s a good thing right? Lol. It’s been a beautiful journey so far, a transitional journey with a lot of self-growth and wisdom gained. I feel so blessed to have married my bestie! (Yes I’m allowed to be mushy a little lol).

So with any milestone recently, I…

The Rules

12 Random Facts About Me

Not exactly starting off on a good note as this post was meant to come out yesterday but I was Easter hosting so forgive me please. I’ll try not to let it happen again.

I hope you all had an amazing Easter and remember the reason for the season. So in the spirit of Easter and new beginnings, I thought I’d take it back to the basics and reintroduce myself in a less normal way, because I’m not…

Abuja Bloggers Meet Up (Pics and Gist)

This post is wayyyyyy overdue so apologies for that firstly.

Now I’m a strong believer in the power of networking no matter what industry you are in. Whether you’re a lawyer, doctor, dancer or make-up artist, it’s good to know your industry peers – share ideas and tips with each other, provide support, feedback, insight, resources, and information to one another. So when I came back to Abuja,  I…

The 7-Day Detox Series: Day Seven (The Finale)

I am proud to announce to you that I have SUCCESSFULLY completed my 7-day detox!!! *crowd applause* Thank you, thank you!

And I didn’t cheat, not even once!

But it wasn’t easy, at alll. To go without salt, red or white meat, sugar, coffee and most carbs? It was a struggle. But I knew what my end goal was so I kept on pushing and I’m happy I did.

My last day went quite ok, probably because I could…

The 7-Day Detox Series: Day Six

So sorry that this post is coming more than half a day late, wasn’t feeling great at all yesterday so I didn’t know when I passed out lol. But I’ll try and make my opinions as accurate as possible as if I’m writing it on the day…

Breakfast

The way I was feeling in the morning, I really needed something to boost my energy but not too heavy at the same time. So I went for a fruit salad consisting…

The 7-Day Detox Series: Day Five

So sorry for the late post guys, didn’t realise that it had gotten so late lol.

So day five…it was actually very boring if I’m very honest. I wasn’t interested in any of the meals and I didn’t even finish one dish, even my dinner which I was soooo looking forward to. I miss salt! And seasoning! And chicken lol. There are a couple of meals on the menu I haven’t tried yet so I’ll mix it up again…

The 7-Day Detox Series: Day Four

Day four seemed too easy…guess that means the body and mind has adjusted to this new diet right?

Like I said earlier, it shouldn’t get too comfortable. BUT, I will most likely start using a lot less salt and processed seasoning in my food, now that I know that I can cope without it. Plus, not every meal needs meat, I’ve come to realise that now lol. I’ve also come to the realisation that the…

The 7-Day Detox Series: Day Three

So today went farrrr better than day one and two, I think my body finally started adjusting to this new diet (although it shouldn’t get too used to it as I can’t do this forever…). I didn’t wake up wanting to pass out, wasn’t starving at all. After my morning walk, I walked, not ran, to the kitchen to make breakfast :-)

Breakfast

I realised that I can’t start my day with a smoothie and think that…

The 7-Day Detox Series: Day Two

Welcome back guys. Soooo, day two…I woke up hungry…

Breakfast

Breakfast was a smoothie at 7.15am made up of banana, lettuce, cucumber, ginger, apple and natural yoghurt. Delicious smoothie, probably the best meal of the day. Only problem, I was starving by 9am!

Had to snack on a mango and more than a few handfuls of groundnut lol. Can’t even count how many glasses of water I had to handle the…

The 7-Day Detox Series: Day One

So sorry for the missing post on Friday guys but I hope this new series will make up for it! So for the next seven days I will be giving you a daily update, like a food diary, of my 7-day detox, wish me luck!

But first, a little background information for you on what got me here…

So you may remember me writing about my love/hate relationship with fitness  in a post earlier this year. As one of my…

Learning how to talk…

Anyone that knows me knows that I love a good chit-chat, I can speak for England haha! But I definitely don’t know how to talk. By talking I mean expressing my deepest thoughts, talking about what I’m going through, sharing issues that are worrying me with someone. If you ask me how I am, my automatic response will be ‘I’m fine, you?’. Don’t get me wrong, if I feel someone has offended me, I have…

11 life realities only an only child can truly understand…

Since last week’s post was quite deep, I thought I’d go a little lighter this week :-).

Growing up, I was constantly told how lucky I was that I didn’t have siblings, or how spoilt I must have been, because those are the main two factors that sum up being an only child apparently lol. Well I’ve found a few more realities that I thought I’d share with you:

1.We don’t all match the stereotype

This…

Learn to celebrate you!

I wasn’t going to publish a post this week as I had been struggling all week to think of a topic to write about, I didn’t want to put out just anything because I don’t like producing substandard work. That was the plan…until a ‘pleasant’ phone call I had this morning…

So I was telling someone very close to me about a business venture of mine and let’s just say I didn’t exactly get the response I…

How Is Married Life?

This question is slowly becoming the most annoying question ever…almost more annoying than last year’s question ‘how is wedding planning going?‘. It’s the general conversation starter for most people that interact with me and I don’t always know how to answer it. It’s almost like when someone asks ‘How are you?‘ You never know if the person genuinely cares and wants to hear the truth: how much…

Valentine’s Special: So I Went To… Obudu Mountain Resort

It’s Valentine’s Day! As we’re celebrating the season of love, I thought I’d throw it back to our mini-moon back in November. After a lonnggg year of wedding planning, we were exhausted and needed to get away from the world but after all of our wedding expenditures, we needed somewhere beautiful that wouldn’t break the bank. So it seemed like the perfect time to tick off an item from my bucket…
