Merry Christmas
Lovelies 💋, wishing you all a splendid Christmas celebration. What does Christmas mean to
you? For some people Christmas is the season of giving and receiving gifts from
loved ones. Growing up, Christmas they say is the birth of Christ Jesus and so
we go to church to praise God wearing our new Christmas outfit and then return
home to the aroma of hot Jollof rice, pepper soup and all that good stuff for
some more celebration with friends and family. We Pray, watch movies, play games,
talk about what we want to achieve the coming New Year and eat like there’s no
tomorrow (how I miss those days).
Unfortunately, here
this time of the year doesn’t scream Christmas to me, neither does it feel like
one, especially when you are far away from home and Family and also Christmas here is celebrated on the 7th of January, so that means there’s no
holiday until the 1st of January. Regardless I still try to be in
the Christmas spirit.
Anyways I’m glad 2016
is almost over cause I can say God broke me down this year and built me back
up, stronger than before, which I’m forever thankful for and I can’t wait to
see what other plans He has for me this coming year.
This is the last post for
2016 and I’d talk to Y’all next year. Merry Christmas again from The Style
Fanatic to my dear readers.

10 RANDOM WORDS TO TAKE INTO THE NEW YEAR
1. Pray more, read more, listen more and depend less on people and more on
God. Put God first and everything will fall in place.
2. One day at a time. You can’t worry about tomorrow. If you are breathing
today, you are blessed. Tomorrow will be taken care of.
3.
Avoid people who
expect you to prioritize them but refuse to prioritize you, those people who
you are always there for but when you need them they always have excuses.
4. Stop maintaining relationships with people that make you feel guilty about
things that you like, make you feel awful about yourself, that put you down,
disrespect you, and don’t support you. Instead of maintaining these “relationships”
for the sake of being civil and polite, you can be civil without having toxic
people in your life. Do it for your health and happiness.
5. At some point, you will outgrow and leave certain people you thought would
be a part of you forever and some people will outgrow you. And that’s perfectly
okay.
6.
Let people do what
they need to do to make them happy, mind your business and do what you need to
do to make you happy.
7.
Be kind to
yourself; don’t sit and wait for things to happen, go out and make it happen. Speak
positive things to yourself daily and let it resonate within you.
8.
Never allow people
waste your time twice. Trust your instincts, if it feels wrong don’t do it.
9.
Get around people
that inspire you to rise higher and don’t be intimidated rather be motivated.
Don’t stop until you are proud, higher every day and aim for greatness.
10. Be disciplined with what you respond to, avoid drama, petty behavior,
unpleasant conversations and focus on yourself, goals, family and future.
Bonus
- Peace of mind is
everything, ignore things that don’t matter and don’t let people make you
jump out of character. Always have a good heart there is enough selfish people already, be the change you want to see in the world, it
starts with you. Finally, be thankful, some people have it worse.

you have some really good resolutions, some that many people could do with learning too. sometimes we keep falling for the same rubbish from people, always being let down, so we should leave them if they do it twice. And your outfit is on point! so photogenic and the snow and the gate backdrop is just perfect!
