The Budget Student

SHOPPING ON A BUDGET AS A SINGLE LADY  All my single ladies (in Beyounce's voice). I am a single lady who lives on a budget.  I make it my business to know where to get all the really good stuff at a very good price too. I target the really juicy sales, i never miss an opportunity to strike a good bargain. So if you are a single lady, who like me are on a 'not so juicy paycheck' or living on daddy and mummy's pocket cash.  I will like to share with you on how to make the most of it, as a student, a youth corper, an employee or even a boss lady. You can thank me later. Why must you shop on a budget? Trust me lady, you don't want to spend money without direction and be left feeling really sad because deep down you know you have wasted your fund.  Another reason to spend on a budget is so that you can save for the rainy day or for that really lovely designer stuff, a vacation or for an event.

Soft life is saying: - “No” without guilt. - Prioritizing mental health & wellness. - Slowing down to enjoy small joys. - Resting without shame. - Yes to healthy relationships & boundaries. - Yes to peace, beauty & amb...

The Lost Opportunities

Lost Opportunities and the Lessons They Leave Behind Have you ever looked back and thought, “If only I had done this differently…”? If we’re being honest, most of us have. Regrets have a way of creeping into our memories, nudging us to reflect on the choices we made or failed to make. But what really informs the decisions we take? How do we know which path deserves a “yes” and which deserves a firm “no”? By definition, opportunity is a favorable set of circumstances that makes progress possible. Some describe it as a chance, a moment, or a window in time when action could change everything. And here’s the truth: opportunities aren’t just the big, shiny doors we dream about; they’re woven into everyday life. Each day hands us chances to learn, love, impact someone, make progress, or even just pause to appreciate life. The problem is, many of us don’t notice them until they’ve slipped away. In this post, let’s explore life’s rare opportunities the kind that could alter the co...
