MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Hey guys! A very merry Christmas to you. Thought to wish everyone who has cheered us on over the months a very merry Christmas and to also tell you that BABY was beautiful! Thank you for all your support towards the project. My apologies for being away for a few months. BABY kept me on my toes a lot; but guess what? Those efforts towards BABY was worth it as it is the best so far. To think it’s exactly one month today that the beautiful BABY 6 was birthed and I still can’t get over how amazing it was.

Many thanks people! Wherever you are; perhaps, Christmas just started at yours, or Christmas is a wrap at yours, or it’s still on; still sending you so much love your way.

As the new year draws closer, do not be a stranger😀😀😀 Follow us on IG @astarsdelight. I look forward to hearing from you.

Loads of Love,

BABY COMING!

Hey guys! I am super excited to have you here today Trust you have been very well and everything has been great with you. I have been doing very well myself and everything has been great!

Guys, before we get into the main course; I am very excited to tell you that BABY is happening this year and it is coming up very soon.

For those who haven't heard of BABY or do not know what BABY is; I would give you a breakdown. BABY is the acronym for Be A Better You which is the annual event that Star's Delight hosts for teenagers and young adults.

Guess what guys. This year is going to be the sixth year and I can't wait to see you at BABY cause it is going to lit. There will be amazing sessions on Career, Academics, Relationship. There will be dance, song, rap, and other amazing side attractions. There will also be a BABY Challenge and this challenge is that you will read all the blogs of Star's Delight from January 2016 to August 2017. Questions will come from these twenty blogs and the winners will get amazing prices. So start reading!!!!

The part I love the most is that there will be free food. Tell me you don't like that part. I look forward to seeing you at BABY. It would be a good opportunity for us to meet in person and to also network with other readers of the blog. Prepare to come for BABY. Tell a friend to tell another friend to come for BABY.
The venue and date will come your way very soon.

Alright, so to the main course. Have you had this experience where a tiny strand of meat is stuck in your teeth and it makes you feel very uncomfortable? You literally can not do anything until that tiny strand is out of your teeth. Well, I have had this experience times without number.  When I am able to take it out eventually, I say to myself, "how can something this little give me so much discomfort?"
Whilst saying this to myself, I realize that really, I am not too small to make an impact. I am not too small to put a smile on some one's face. I am not too small to make a difference in someone's life.

I read something which was quite funny to me but also passed a very important message. It read,  "You think you are too small to make a difference? Try staying in the same room with a mosquito" I have had to stay in a room with a mosquito and it was not a funny experience for me. I could barely sleep all through the night as it kept singing in my ears. It was one experience that made me realize yet again that I am not too small, to make a difference. I have what it takes to make a difference in a life. I have what it takes to put a smile on a face.

Do not think you do not have what it takes because you do. Start right where you are. A smile, a hug, a call could be what would make a difference in a life.

Alright guys, it was great sharing this with you. Do have a great time and do well to share this post. I look forward to seeing you at BABY.

Loads of  Love,

SELFIE LOVE

Hey guys! It’s great to have you here again. Trust you have been very well and everything has been going great. Pardon our short break in June. I’d definitely make it up to you.

Yep! So let’s get straight to business. Sit back relax and enjoy………

For those who know me very well, I am a picture freak. Not too long ago I put up a picture and captioned it.  “Do taking pictures weary me? No they do not”😊😊😊

 I love pictures I love life; I love me. To think that when I was way younger; I felt I had a weird smile. Now, I feel I have the cutest smile with two lovely dimples. I would look into the mirror; smile to myself and tell myself how pretty I am and how I’ve got such a beautiful dimpled  smile. Now; everyone tells me how lovely a smile I've got. 😉😉😉

You need to know and always tell yourself that you  are very unique; you are very beautiful and handsome the way you are. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.

Have you realized that when a group picture is taken and you get to see it; the first person you check out is you? 

There are two sides to it; you probably begin to say how pretty your smile is, how great you looked; or on the flip side; you begin to think to yourself on how your smile was too broad, or how you didn’t have such  a great pose or how you should have adjusted your clothes or makeup better.

Do not beat yourself up for what you think should have been better in the picture; be proud of how you look.  If you feel you should have done something better; do it the next time you have an opportunity to.

I read something from Febi Idahosa one great man of God I respect a lot. He asked people to take group pictures and after they looked at the picture; he challenged them not to say anything or even see anything wrong in themselves in the picture; but choose to see the great things about themselves. That was very inspiring for me. 

You could take up that challenge as well, and begin to see only the good in yourself.

You have probably  heard a lot on  self-love over and over again, but really how much do you love yourself? If you really love yourself; you would not compare yourself to anyone. If you really love yourself; you would not be intimidated by anyone based on what they have; or have attained. 

Guys, I could go on and on; but I need to stop here. Start loving yourself; not in mere words; but in your actions. Guess what? How you treat others tells me how much you love yourself.

I would encourage you to take a selfie; or take a picture, and tell yourself how pretty a lady God made you; how handsome a guy God crafted you. How beautiful on the inside you are as well.It is amazing the confidence this activity will give you.

Do not let anyone or any circumstance to make you feel less of yourself or reduce the great value God put on you.

Have a great time guys! Do well to share; and do not forget to take that selfie or picture of yourself; and deliberately choose to see only the amazing things about yourself. 

Loads of Love,

Smiling D.
