Let’s Talk Weight! (Eggplant Juice)

Today I wanna talk about a subject dear dear to my heart, and my hips, my waist, my back and other areas…

Weight!!!

So, during my pregnancy I only gained 5kgs (about 10lbs) but after that I made friends with bread, pasta, juices, fried, and anything edible!

We became best friends! So much so that they called me in the middle of the night and I gladly answered! You could find me in the middle of the night eating while breastfeeding!!

Well its one year later, and they decided that they love me so much they will lodge themselves in my hips and other areas, and I promise you my hips DON’T LIE!!!

So, I decided to Join Gym and start slowly to burn my friends away (sorry guys hehehe)
But now, am getting antsy with the slow weight loss so I decided to try the Eggplant with lemon water! I hear it burns calories fast, slims your belly (I need to see my feet again lol) and you lose weight!

So for this week I’ll try it, monitor my progress and next week I’ll let you know the results!
They told me I wash and cut into cubes one Eggplant put it in a litre of water, let it sleep overnight, then in the morning I add a squeezed lemon into the water.

Drink one cup just after I wake up before eating anything, and the rest I drink during the Day.
Am so excited I can’t wait to try it!!

I’ll let you know if I lose anything coz I really need to and I can’t do any drastic diets because am still breastfeeding so I’ll go slow.

Come back next week and find out how I did!

Lots of Love

Sand Playing!!!

Today am such a proud and happy momma!!!
Yesterday we were invited to a birthday party and the house we went to wasn’t cemented so the whole yard was sand…
My boy has.never.played.in.sand.
Never.
So, after the initial shyness, Bubba decided to venture to play with the other children, he was trotting along just fine when suddenly wham!
He fell on his bum! Being the helicopter mum (try and judge me haha) that I am I wanted to go and pick him up when suddenly I see my boy picking up a fistful of sand and trying to analyze it closer to see what it was, the sand started falling through his fingers! I’ve never seen him so inquisitive!! He was soooooo awed at this “thing” that wouldn’t stay still in his hands yet it felt so weird!!!

He just sat there picking up sand and seeing it falling through his fingers… then he just sat there with his hands in the sand with this content look on his face you know the look you get when you peeing yourself in the shower? Lol like he just found gold.

I felt so happy and sad at the same time. Happy that my boy was so happy with playing with something so simple such as sand and yet being so joyfully delighted, and sad as to why it took me so long to just let him play in the sand and be a child.

Its simple things that make my heart full.

I Thank the Lord so much for giving us this pleasure.

When I take him to the beach ill attach some pictures.


Have a blessed day Y’all.

My Favourite ways to relax and refill

Hi there, my name is Chica am 29 years old (forever 22 lol) am a newbie, been married for 2 years and a mother to a bouncy 1 year toddler.
Being a wife and a mother is not easy! I am definitely an imperfect mom and I love this bible study for it!!! So with being a wife, mom and working full time I don’t have much time to relax and refill, but when I do I have a couple of minutes to myself I love to:
1.Daydream… I love dreaming about the places I wanna go (which often involve a beach or sitting under a tree)

2. I Loooooooooove reading It’s one of my guilty pleasures and I read any and everything! Even random pamphlets when am standing on a queue or in a doctor’s office, you get the gist.

Pleasure number 3 is movies… I Love either staying home or going to the movies… I just relax and enjoy not having to stress about anything else.

 Of course these are not in any order but one thing that relaxes me and brings me Joy is playing with my bundle of Joy!!! Seeing him squeal with delight when we are playing is so refreshing and assures me that am doing ok as a mom even if no one recognises it.

 My greatest source of relaxation and peace though, is reading my bible and pray.. Do you know how you feel when you are just fresh out of the shower? Yeah that’s how I feel when I pray and read my bible, and nothing relaxes me and makes my day go better than when I’ve started it with a prayer.

 So these are the things I do to relax and refill.

Thank you for stopping by and do leave your link so I can read your post too!!

Ps. These are Not me in the Pictures Neither are they my picutres

Techie day!!!

Today I wanna talk technology! More specifically phones!! Hehehe I am a phone junkie; I love androids, iPhone whatever shiny phone I can find (can you notice I don’t know much I just like shiny? Hahaha)

 I’ve had the iPhone 3 g, iPhone 3Gs, my current is a Nokia Lumia 720 (not really current since it fell into the toilet and now the screen won’t show), actually my current is an Alcatel old tiny phone which my boy loves to throw in the floor so it can break to pieces which he then loves to put back lol. Anyways now I want a new phone and am undecided between the Samsung Galaxy 5 and the Sony Xperia Z2! They are both awesome but too big!

But I held the Galaxy today and it ain’t too shabby!!! But am still undecided. All sites I go to they say it’s almost the same thing but the Galaxy always wins by a tiny margin!!! But I like the Xperia because it has more colour variety (see my priority here? Hahahah) Am a person that’s always stuck to her phone, playing games, Facebook, internet, I basically like to live out of my phone. So which one do you guys think is better? Have a great day!

It’s getting to be too much…

Today I woke up as carefree as I can be, and as usual I opened my daily fix of news and what was my shock when I saw the people who perished on the Malaysian Airline flight MH17! I mean if there was ever any senseless killing this goes right at the top! Am not writing this from the political point of view, am not interested in that not even one bit, am more worried, sad, shocked and plain outraged at the massive loss of life! I mean how someone can be so callous as to shoot a plane down just because it might be from the enemy or because “they are flying in our sky?” I really pray that the Lord has mercy on the people who did this because my mind cannot even begin to grasp the concept of forgiving hem and am not even from there. Am praying for the families who are left behind with no answers, no comfort, no more hellos to say, and oh my gosh can you imagine how scared those 100 children were? I just cannot digest this! Lord, today I pray for the families of those who perished on the plane crash, I pray for comfort for them, for peace and for them to be able to forgive. Walk with them, protect their hearts, minds and sanity because this sure is not easy but nothing is impossible with You so I ask that you will carry them through these difficult times. All this I ask in the name of you Son Jesus Amen

This mommy life…

I love my job. I really do, but living in a city like Luanda where traffic is so bad you have to leave your house at 5 in the morning so you can avoid it, it’s just getting to be too much. My heart breaks a little every time I have to leave my munchkin. I praise the Lord that he’s asleep when I leave so there’s no crying otherwise I don’t know if I could take it!! Anyways now that am done with my pity party... Today am so tired I don’t even know what to write about, but since I want to be more consistent with the blog, ill be writing even if it’s a sentence a day.. Oh, now that am a mommy be ready to hear a lot about my munchkin and all the amazing feats he accomplishes every day! That boy does not cease to amaze me! Now that he’s mastered the art of walking, we are moving onto talking! Oh this is fun! Have a blessed day. Xoxo A Boys Momma
