A BEACHY FIT!

-








So, I decided to throw a little tantrum. A “beachy” fit. Not a hissy fit. How so? Let's gist.

Generally speaking, a subject matter is viewed in a particular way and given different interpretations by different people. Even siblings who were born and raised in the same household with same set of values can have the most diverse opinions on the same subject matter. So it is no surprise that the subject matter of this post is viewed differently by different people.









So what’s my beachy fit about? Anklets. Yes, anklets. You know, those dainty pieces of jewelry worn on the ankles by ladies. To some people, it's just a piece of jewelry, worn on the ankle, no more, no less. To some others, it seems to have a negative spiritual connotation. Yet to another set of people, the lady who wears this piece of jewelry is seen to be a morally loose lady. 

Three points of view on just one piece of jewelry. These points of view will never merge. Who knows, perhaps there are other points of view on this piece of jewelry. Are there? Care to share in the comments section? 









Personally, I like anklets. To me, it's just a piece of jewelry just like earrings, rings, bracelets, etc. However, the first day I wore one as a teenager, I found out about the other two points of view on anklets. 🤓 These views were expressed in very strong terms. So strong that I had to shelve and continued to shelve my attraction for anklets. I pick my battles. 😁

But today, I decided to throw a little tantrum and have me a beachy fit by wearing these pieces of jewelry on my feet at the beach. I call it a “little” tantrum because though these are worn on the ankles, you cannot really call them anklets by virtue of their design. They are designed like sandals with no soles. Now, if I was throwing a big tantrum I would have worn plain old anklets. 🤓









Point of this post? Feel free to have an opinion on any subject matter but don’t impose your opinion on others. Your opinion is not binding. It is just what it is, opinion not law. 🤓

Stay beautiful,

'Zibah.

SERENE SATURDAY

The aim of this time out was just to take a short and simple break from my routine work life. However, I was pleasantly caught off guard by the serenity of this location.  My soul gratefully soaked up the ambience of this place.  I spent more time soaking it all in than I did taking pictures and that’s unusual for me. 🤓 Though we had an exciting time on the ferris wheel, my friends and I left this location feeling serene and rejuvenated.  Have you ever left a place feeling that way? Wishing you and I lots of serene Saturdays that keep us serenely rejuvenated. 🤓 Did I mention the fact that someone screamed when her cabin was atop the rotating ferris wheel? 😊 Stay beautiful, 'Zibah.

ARMS AKIMBO

I took a look at the shots taken while checking the angles of my camera in preparation for the main shoot of this post and it finally dawned on me that the left arm akimbo pose was not my favourite pose but my comfy pose. It was my pose in literally all the shots taken. At the time the shots were being taken, I never thought the images would come on the blog. But after going through the images, I got curious as to the significance of the pose in terms of body language. I went googling and decided to share with you. There are several articles on the arms akimbo pose but this one ( https://www.mariefranceasia.com/lifelove/decoding/gestures-why-do-we-put-our-hands-on-our-hips-2937.html ) seemed to be the most concise of the ones I read. I like the interpretation given to my left arm akimbo pose as regards my fingers facing forward. Curious like me? Click on the link .  What is your comfy pose? What does it say about you? Stay beautiful, 'Zibah.

A PODS LUNCH

  On this impromptu  outing , I ended up at  Ile-Iyan by PODs  restaurant for lunch.  Ile-Iyan by PODs is what I would call a destination place with a pleasant African themed decor and ambience.  From the menu, I had pounded yam and egusi soup accompanied with escargot and chevon. Rather, the pounded yam, egusi soup and escargot accompanied the chevon. 🤓 My taste buds enjoyed the rich taste of the egusi soup. The escargot (snail) was just there, almost bland in taste. As for the pounded yam . . . let's just say I prefer the thicker or should I say stronger consistency of pounded yam to the one I ate there. 🤓 Now, the chevon on the other hand (yes, I have to address it properly because why would I just say goat meat for something so delicious? 🤓) was  yummilicious!  It was so tasty, tender, big, fleshy and really . . .  yummilicious!  😋  It was that good, I kid you not.  Like I mentioned earlier, this outing was impromptu, s...
