One thing about teenage girls is they possess so many clothing and accessories, and then when it's time to hang out with friends or go on a date, they suddenly have nothing to put on. For the boys, they just go with whatever they find in their wardrobe; only some of them actually take their time "to look it." I decided to put on a little photo shoot to display the clothing that trended during the summer. Also, combining the clothes in your wardrobe to get something slay-ish to put on. I titled it Teens Fashion Combo 2K16 (TFC 2K16) So for those who have been asking what TFC is all about, this is it. [P.S. The idea is & was solely mine] Explore!

Happy weekend, guys. I want to say a big thank you to everyone who read my last post and made a contribution to it. Have fun while reading this one. Okay, this is quite funny. I've noticed that 70% of teenagers block their relatives on FB (like their family members and relations). It is really funny, but I don't blame them. First, if I didn't understand this well, I would have asked, "What are you hiding? Or are you doing some really bad things there that you wouldn't want your family members and relatives to see?" But because I understand, I'm saying it is quite annoying to have some of them on FB. Cons: First of all, one relative will come from nowhere and start asking you about your mummy and your daddy in the "comment box." We have Messenger too, but that isn't enough. They'll even go as far as posting it on your wall: Lilian, how is your brothers? not even 'are.' They are the ones that'll tag you in some kind of unreasonable posts. You'd come online to find notifications of different tags from one relative. That's not all—every little thing you post on your wall is under inspection, The New Facebook Inspection App. Someone will not rest again. When they see you in person, they'll start preaching to you as if you committed abortion or impregnated a chicken. 😂 Pros: The good thing about them is they are sure likers. They will like whatever you post. If you don't get likes from other people, theirs is sure. If your relatives are not like this, please order new ones from Konga ASAP (P.S. fast delivery) lol Who else can relate, and why did you block that relative of yours? Until next time XoXo

On a rainy Friday evening in my kitchen, making jollof rice #naijajollof for the fam, an idea popped up into my head. This was around 6 PM in the evening. Now this idea came up due to the many indirect complaints many teens and youths make on Instagram and Twitter, basically on social media. They try to let us know about it, but as you know, those platforms have their text limitations and all. So I thought, why not give them a voice? On here, they'll be able to voice out whatever they've been piling up, and they'll also be able to express themselves with images. What is this Voice About Giving them a Voice: I want to try my possible best to give these teens and youths a voice to complain about whatever they feel might be the struggles and challenges they have faced or might be facing, also to pour out their minds about different topics. It sure isn't easy being a teen/youth, speaking from experience. There are a lot of ups and downs, hate and criticisms, but you gotta be strong. Your story might help someone out there with a similar case. So let's hear/read your story and the advice you would like to give. It's gonna be very simple: - Email me your full name, age, school name, and level. Basically, your data. - Your story/complaints/challenges/experiences - Your advice - Your social media accounts - Finally, share the link to your friends so that they can read it and share it on. I'm going to start first by emailing some few people and let's see how it goes. You can drop me a mail at my Email Address with the details listed above. Write it the way you want it to be published, and I'll see to it that it is published rightly. So, tell your friends out there who you feel need a voice to holla at me. Help me start this little thing of mine; help me grow it into something real big. God bless you, and ILYSM. I wonder who the first person would be. Sit tight and let's wait. DON'T IGNORE XoXo

My name is Princess Serbia Wilson. I am a student, entrepreneur, fashion/lifestyle influencer, event planner, and many more. I have always been independent since I was 14. I faced a lot of challenges with people understanding me and all of that. I remember vividly in secondary school, I had an issue with some people concerning a boy—it was funny, but I went through a lot. Growing up, I started my first clothing line (Wilseb Ventures) in SS1 and registered it when I was in SS3. Some people discouraged me, telling me I was unserious, but I never repeated a class or had any carryover in ABUAD. I knew where I came from, and I disciplined myself so well. I was conscious of my future. I knew where I was going. I got scammed last year of 128k for my second clothing line (Savage Brand), which changed to (Savage by Serbia) because I said to myself I can't give up so easily after being scammed. So I started making kimonos, and I succeeded even if it took me a lot. I starved to survive. It was so hard. Then I started the kimonos with the remaining 20k left with me, and I got about 50k. I was so grateful, so I continued till I finally stopped after I left Afe Babalola University. Getting into UNILAG diploma, it was so hard to cope with the caliber of people. But I scaled through. I was also working as an intern but was sacked, LOL, because I didn't go to work on a Friday for my JAMB. I really don't think some people deserve me. The truth about it all is, I left the internship. I faced my own business, which was the Thrift House by SEW. LOL, the meaning of SEW is Serbia ENE Wilson. I am making waves. Someone created an account for me on IG calling me fake Yaba girl. I was so happy because it strengthened me for more achievements. I am actually a very difficult person to understand. I love that because it makes me stronger and hard for enemies to get me down. I really don't care about people, but I care about their independence. The funniest part is when my haters buzz me to help them, and I gladly do it, and they stay famzing, but I always make it clear to their face. Life is not like that. Anything that goes around comes around. Imagine if I had closed my Thrift House by SEW; I won't have any money to do my Fiesta, which is on a high budget, and I don't have sponsors. I really thank myself for the courage to push harder. This is MY VOICE, This is MY STORY.

Our personal space is our personal shrine, our own comfort, peace and what happens to be our reality. As a university student, living in with a roommate didn't give me the privacy I solely desired. It didn't give me the opportunity to decorate or arrange the room the way I wanted it to be because the other person wasn't okay with it. I had to get a space of my own in an area I knew nobody and I did. #### What getting my own space did for me? - It gave me the opportunity to paint the walls the colors I wanted. - I had my bed close to the window - I had the number of shelves I wanted for my books. - My reading table was also close to the window. - I chose to use rugs to cover my floor than tiles because it made me feel more at home. - My small library of books were arranged in the position i wanted it to be. - I had at least 10 self painted paintings mounted on my walls. - I had at least 3 empty flower pots lying around the room. - All my clothes and shoes were located in my closet. - I only bought and used bedsheets that matched the aesthetics and colors of my room. - Little home decors here and there with little crap lying around. - I had red tape light hanging on the mirror. - Picture frames - I was able to paste my trashy drawings, goals, affirmations on my wall without having anyone question them. - It took me a while but I invested in scented candles and incenses. I made my new room my own shrine, it became somewhere I never wanted to leave. It made me very conscious of who I let into my space. A couple of time I had a visitor come to my room they always left with a comment about how cozy and homely my room felt and it made me happy because it meant my space was very accommodating. I didn't spend so much on achieving this neither did I rush it. It took a while, but everything came to order finally. ### Why You Should Design Your Space - Designing your personal space helps you create an environment that you are very much comfortable with. A lot of people do not enjoy being in their room because it holds no kind of value or feeling to them. - Create your own therapy room. Your room becomes your therapy room after a not so good day of being out. When you think of your room and bed, it gives you ease. ### How You Can Design Your Space You do not need to spend a thousand bucks to design your space. All you need is to write down the number of things you'd like to have in your space. #### Suggestions - Fresh Paints or wallpapers - New Curtains or blinds - New sheets and pillow covers - Colored light bulbs - Plants - Paintings - Paintings, either hand painted by you or an artist. - Shelves to form your personal library - A work or reading table - A big mirror - Candle stands and candles - New mugs and jars - Mock ups you wrote yourself - Picture frames - Pictures of a holiday, vacation, family or friends and so many more Then start getting them. You don't need to get them all at once most especially when you are not financially boyouant. Diy some yourself and also visit your local home decor thrift shops, those stores really helped me get a lot of things at very inexpensive prices. I got my planters, picture frames, plates and candle stands at really inexpensive prices. I decided to open an online home decor thrift store to cater for those who do not have a thrift store accessible to them.
