The Surprise Bridal Shower.

-

I met Zee at my place of work three years ago, and somehow we connected like we'd known each other since the very first day we met, and the friendship continued to wax stronger.

A year later, Zee introduced the love of her life to me, and a few months ago, he popped the big question.

I was seated in my living room munching on my cookies while doing Netflix and chilling when a message popped in.

"We have a wedding to plan." It was from Zee, and I only remember jumping from one couch to another to express my excitement as I reached for my phone to congratulate her on the happy news.

"Yeah, I am so happy for you, Zee; don't worry, I ensure your wedding day goes almost flawlessly."

We ended the call in a very exciting mode, and then I thought of doing something extra for Zee; "she deserves more than just a regular wedding, and she loves surprises too, so what shall I do?" I soliloquized.

The next day at work, I stylishly copied some of her friend's numbers from her phone and created a WhatsApp group.

"Hey guys, I am Amie, Zee's colleague and friend, and I want us all to organize a bridal shower party for her." I texted in excitement, and to my greatest surprise, they were all ready to support the surprise bridal shower part to make Zee excited.

"Hey Dera, you'll be in charge of the confectioneries, Temi, you'll be in charge of the drinks and decor, Joy, you'll be in charge of her makeup, T.Y., you'll be in charge of the music and games for the day, and while I'll make her a dress," I began to assign everyone in the group a role to make the bridal shower a success, and we were all in one accord.

The 3rd of August arrived, which was the D-day for the bridal shower. We all woke up early and headed to the rented lodge to decorate the whole room with balloons, shimmer wall and ceiling decor, and bridal shower props while setting the whole table with flowers, cakes, candies, drinks, and food.

Joy, the makeup artist was ready to glam our bride-to-be up while I had already set her dress on the chair with a colourful sash and tiara.

T.Y.'s duty was to convince the bride-to-be to the venue, which she did effortlessly. As soon as Zee walked in, we popped the wine to celebrate her grand entry. The smile on her face was very priceless and wide; she was almost tearing up, realizing how much she meant to us.

"Jeez!! Who's the brain behind this whole bridal shower party?" She became curious as she was stunned by all the beautiful planning, decor, food, and her beautiful dress.

"Amie is the party planner," they all chorused, and then Zee hugged me and all of us for making her feel so special.

The party started right after she was glammed up and changed into her elegant dress, and then we began with some hype, music, games, food, drinks, and cheers to a better life, after which we took a lot of pictures to keep the memory alive in anticipation for her big day, which was just two weeks after the bridal shower.

A Beautiful Heritage

Pinterest The waist beads are known as "Mgbájí" in the centralized Igbo dialect while another part of the Igbo calls it various names like "Ukwueleke", "Akaraukwu" or "Jigida" This is my beautiful and prominent heritage because I hail from a part of the Igbo land. "Imo state" to be precise. That waist bead is a very beautiful and essential ornament that is made of cowries or very expensive beads using a fishing line or a string to join them together. It is usually worn to beautify a woman's waist, which makes her attractive to the opposite sex and looks more feminine. The waist beads denote royalty, femininity, and fertility in my tribe. My mom told me how this waist bead is an essential part of our culture and a maiden attire on the day of her traditional marriage, known as"Igba Nkwu". No bride ever joked with this waist bead as her attire is never complete without the waist beads. Any man who seeks her hands for marriage...

It was on the 28th of October, 2022 at exactly 12:30 am, Debbie woke up that midnight feeling unhappy.  Source It was her 28th birthday, and unlike other birthdays this one was different, she felt like a loser simply because she felt she wasn't doing enough and today is another reminder that she was getting older, most of her mates were married with kids, and others work in a very big firm and living the lives of their dreams. The Birthday depression is knocking at her door. Debbie couldn't help but lay low in her bed to cry her eyes out, immediately her phone buzzed, it was a message from Jane her friend. "Hey Debbie, I've been trying to reach you since, how are you doing? Michael has proposed, babe we have a wedding to plan, please beep me as soon as you see this." She stared at the message for about 2 minutes, with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Wow, congrats", she managed to reply, she immediately turn off her phone and began to question her God, ...

Source I see "toxicity" in this picture. Have you ever come across Amanita Muscaria which is a toxic mushroom? Toxicity is detrimental to our health. This article is not about Amanita Muscaria, but as you read further you'd understand the need for the comparison. According to the  oxford language dictionary , toxicity means the quality of being very harmful or unpleasant in a pervasive or insidious way. Are humans toxic? Yes! Plants or fungi aren't the only toxic living things in the world, humans can be toxic too. What are toxic traits? Toxic traits are negative attitude that causes pain or discomfort to people around us. Here are some examples of toxic traits. Manipulation Self-centeredness Arrogance, Rude, and disrespectful.

To mention but a few, just like the Amanita muscaria, though good-looking yet deadly, we might be physically beautiful yet our toxic traits might be deadly to those around us. The Amanita muscaria...
