MY DAY

YES!!! FRIDAY AUGUST 16TH I CELEBRATED MY BIRTHDAY!! AND I AM WRITING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I AM STILL EXCITED FROM THE FUN TIMES I HAD WITH MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I STARTED CELEBRATING THE WHOLE MONTH OF AUGUST, WHICH IS ONLY RIGHT FOR A LEO. HERE IS A RUN DOWN OF HOW MY WEEKEND WENT.

THURSDAY AUGUST 15TH 
I had an impromptu Photo shoot with the ChukStar Photography. He happened to be at my house, asked me what I wanted for Birthday, I said a photo shoot,,, WAHLAAA I got it. I guess you can say "ask and it shall be given". I took the pictures right before I went out for our traditional family Birthday dinner at the cheesecake factory.

FRIDAY AUGUST 16TH (My actual Bday)
I woke up to a phone call from my mother, then she leaves you another voice mail singing I swear it gets more priceless every year. Of course I dressed a little over the top for work. I had my desk decorated with happy birthday signs and all that good stuff, it made my heart melt. I got a surprise delivery of  flowers and a big box of chocolate from my "Favorite Ninja". lol makes it a Little special he went through my Sis just to send me a gift.  After work I came home to another delivery of flowers, from my lol Husband "23 roses for my birthday girl" cute right??? I guess when I turn 24 I should expect 2 dozen lol.

I felt really really special receiving gifts, like my new leather laptop bag. "now I can take ZG with me wherever" good friends give thoughtful gifts!!!

We took over Chicago Night Life, like seriously it was a party to remember. Ajie (My Birthday Twin) planned our whole Friday night and it was Superb. The plan was to party AKATA style. it was the perfect hint of ghetto and a dash of ratchetness. Our Friends came out, the DJ was greatttttttttttttt!!!!!!!, our table was the livest, everybody had a cause to celebrate, and the moment was all capture by our photographer friend. I had a great time!!!!!

THE BIRTHDAY BOY! I HAVE REALLY GROWN TO LOVE AJIE LIKE A BIG BROTHER .

Yess!!!!!! Turn up!!!! Lol

SATURDAY AUGUST 17TH
I had my birthday dinner at a Vintage Italian Vinci Restaurant, The food was great and the service was impeccable. our chef for the night was the funniest person ever, he danced with us half the time. We had a private dinner section so we had our own music, and of course we only listened to Nigerian music.

Dancing to stupid love! Haha

I loved my dress even though it was heavy lol. I loved the sequin/beads design details, I loved the length and color, I loved the shoulder pads and the way it shinned in the night.  overall I had a great time, I thank GOD i was alive and able to celebrate another year. Soon this will all be good memories shared with great people.

The Wrap Up

This past week was.... Hmmm well I don't think I have words to describe it, it was a lot going on and so little time. For the most part I was running on little to No sleep. So much had to be done between friday through sunday; from photo shoots, ZG errands, Rise Africa meetings and plus my sis Bridal shower and preparations. whehw!!!! it was all just overwhelming at some point but the End result was Amazing. 

Friday myself and my sister had a little skit do for a friend at the city.  It was for his new song which I personally think is pretty rad and catchy. The whole concept was us acting boujiee while the guys are trying to get our attention, lol (typical nigerian scene) it was pretty funny. The keyword for the skit was "it's not for oloshi". *Self explanatory*. Later that night we headed out to The usual Nigerian Party powered by La'frique Entertainment and Dj diseal. I had a good "me" time just dancing and enjoying the music. We met up with a friend(Kenny) and partied some more at wrigley field. 

Skit look 

My look for the Skit was simple.

Kept the same face look for the night. 

I just hated my shoes. Only wore them because they are very comfortable and perfect for dancing.

Saturday I had a Zurikgirl Photoshoot for New items and Banners. It was really hard getting up after a night of partying but it had to be done. Here are some pics I took on my phone.
