RETRO RUSTIC

-







Retro for the hairstyle, rustic for the rough looking cargo containers that form the background of the pictures of this post. 









Something about the abandoned state of the cargo containers got to me and I decided to have this photoshoot with them. You know, like when certain objects “speak” to you? 🤓



Can’t put a finger yet on that something but will be sure to let you know when I do, in the comment section.


C’est moi, offsetting the rustic look of the cargo containers in my retro hairstyle, African print peplum top, black lycra pants, black ankle peep-toe heels, big tote handbag to go with the colour combo of my African print peplum top and of course my jewelry.



I look retro rustic wouldn’t you say or how would you describe my look? 😉


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...
