Found a free museum that was all about transportation. It was a rainy day (big surprise šµāš«š¤) so what better way to spend it if you want to get outside. Iāve been in the new place for a little over a month and itās going good. There is so much to explore. Sometimes you can live somewhere and never get to enjoy it to the fullest. Weāre so quick to say we hate where weāre living and want to move. Iām not saying donāt move, but enjoy where you are so you can enjoy where you going.Also, Iāve come to realize Iām just not going to be consistent with posting here because Iām so consumed with getting use to my new surroundings and trying to run a business. Enjoy š .. #15btwn #glasgow #museum #scotlant #ship #destination #unitedkingdom #uk #tourist
Itās hard for me to function in chaos and I must have a clean and neat environment so Iām not consumed with disorder. At times I donāt have the energy to be šÆ % consistent, but I do my best. I know I canāt afford to stopš.If you ever wonder why things are in disarray, start small and take a look around. You have to figure out why itās ok to sit in filth or deal with chaos, but then get upset if someone ābehavesā a certain way when youāre not treating yourself with respect. My grandma always taught me, I donāt care where you stay or how it may look, keep it clean. Those werenāt her exact words, but a close interpretation ā¤ļø#15btwn #glasglow #mentalhealth #livingmybestlife
This has to be one of my favorite smoothies š§. Whenever Iām in the kitchen, I like listening to music or hearing some inspirational dialogue.

Happy Hump šŖ Day Wednesdayā¦Yeah thatās me, I had an impromptu photoshoot yesterday. Have you ever had a call with a company rep and you were doing more troubleshooting than themš?I had a time yesterday and I was fit to be tied. It was a struggle asking the person who was āhelpingā me the same questions in sort of a different way to ensure they were doing what they needed to do on their end. Come to find out, they were not. I didnāt show my frustration completely because the chapter is not completely closed. Now I have to hold back from checking up to ensure she finishes up because I donāt trust she will (yeah right).Nothing like unnecessary phone/talking tired nessā¦š©š#15btwn #glasgowrealestate #glasgowhousing #usa #tired #gladigotgod #courage #plantbased #workouts
UGU actually comes from a pumpkin leaf. Egusi is one of my favorite dishes. Enjoying this raining day. It costs Ā£1.99 here. In Nigeria, I can buy three bundles for this price. š§š§š§š§#vegan #15btwn #ugu #pumpkin #leaf #vegetables #plantbased #cook #meal #africanfood #uk #glasgow
Applying for an apartment here in the UK using the system thatās in place does not work well for foreigners. I couldnāt gain any traction with any of the applications I submitted because I didnāt have a UK number. Also, inquiries are not taken seriously until after youāve viewed the unit (with my experience with Airbnb, if you do not have someone to view on your behalf that you trust, I would definitely view beforehand so Iām in favor of this). Many times, I received notifications that āshowingsā were available for a unit and I applied within seconds after the notice only to receive an email that āshowings are now filled and Iām unable to schedule.ā This is the process:ā
You view available housing through apps such as Zoopla, Right to Move, etcā
Complete your form and submitā
If the agency is interested, you receive a notification to bookā
If you are successful with your booking, you view the unit on your scheduled dateā
If you like the unit, you submit another application that asks for more details, where you are required to signup through an agency that does the vetting and ābackground checksāI will stop there and add, āif you are a š¬š§resident this works.ā Within the US, everything about you is tracked through your SSN#...#15btwn #travel #glasgow #airbnb #housing #uk #destinations #vegan #atlanta #wfpb
I stayed at the Hilton Grand Vacation Club hotel in Ballater, Scotland using my points for a three night stay. The hotel and its surroundings was absolutely beautiful. I could wash clothes for freeā¦however the food was another story. Absolutely, no flavor and I was surprised. I remember being looked at strange for asking for a fresh glass of juice. I also remember someone telling me at a different restaurant , I wonāt find that hereš« . Very nice people.

I know itās been a while since I posted, so yes Iām giving myself the side eye. If you have not seen any of my stories, Iām currently in the š¬š§ and I will be here for a year (I will let you know why Iām here, so stay tuned). I have been busy working, trying to manage a business, and getting ready for this move so my time has been consumed š. As an FYI, I donāt know if you noticed that I have shared Afrogoats (more prominent on IG and TikTok)on my page or in my stories a few times, but we are coming up on a one-year anniversary. The development of this page is truly a remarkable story and has afforded my partner and me so many beautiful opportunities. The man behind the vision is definitely a goat and the epitome of āif an opportunity does not exist, create it.ā Iām covered and basking in so many blessings and along with the transitions of my many different hairstyles, I have shifted as well. I am truly loving myself as well as the many relationships I am building. I will start to give you a true peak inside my world because I think so many people can benefit if you are ever afraid of stepping out on faith.Love is kind, beautiful, sharing, and not envious in the slightest.

If I didn't keep moving towards a purpose in life, I would be stuck complaining. I'm thinking this should be my last move before leaving Rwanda for awhile (now I can only reveal my "plans" š) Everywhere I lived since living abroad has been peaceful. But this has felt really good with the exception of the š¦. It's something about moving in a new place and you're the first one to live there and it's also something different to be in a new building with very few occupants (if any). I have yet to meet my neighbors. I also have the opportunity to check out other units as well š#kigali #rwanda #travel #lodging #housing #realestate#atlanta #vegan #wfpb #africa #travelabroad #tourist
šø Market Day Madness! šøLast week, the familiar group of ladies surrounded me at Market Day. Their respectful presence and help in packing my produce make the bustling crowd enjoyable.As I share my food journey with you for the day, I hope it brings you joy and inspiration. Food is not just sustenance; itās an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of simple pleasures and the wonders of nature. Remember, the smallest details can transform an ordinary meal into an extraordinary experience. One meal not shown here is my signature oatmeal and peanut butter toast, itās the sweetness of dates and a touch of pink Himalayan salt that creates a comforting combo for me.10:00 am ā Watermelon12:00 pm ā Pineapple/Ginger/seeded oranges/banana Smoothie2:00 pm ā Oatmeal and peanut butter toast7:00 pm ā Egusi and SwallowWhat a delicious day šAbeg, donāt speak about how Iām eating my egusiā¦#MarketDayMadness #FoodJourney #CommunityLove #localmarket #kigali #africa #egusi #africanfood #veganfood
My top two favorite restaurants in Kigali so far, Inka Steakhouse and Repub Lounge. Donāt be surprised if you see me trying the vegan pancakes or cauliflower burger at Inkaās today in my story.

Had a blast at the blockchain conference in Kigali! Networking and getting inspired by incredible speakers are the way to go. The MC was hilarious and confident, loved it (funniest Rwandan I ever met)! Also, I met the editor of the Africa Blockchain report the very next day who shared amazing insights and introduced me to his talented team. Purpose is key, and opportunities flow when you walk in it. Nothing happens by chance, especially when he shared his Ph.D. subject matter. Walk in your purpose and the floodgates openā¦#BlockchainConference #Networking #Inspired #PurposeDriven #blockchains #technology #fintech #stem #womenintech #kigali #africa #lagos
Iāve never seen equipment like this so I was immediately intrigued. I believe this is referred to as pneumatic equipment. There is a gauge and pump on each machine, activated by your hand or foot and a huge air pressure machine that supplies each one through connected cables. I like it because I can move through a set of exercises with ease and at a faster pace. I personally use the free weightsšš¾āāļø more so than the machines.I love my routine and Iām loving my environment š„°. Everywhere I go there is beauty and peace š. Maybe because Iām not looking or expecting anything different š. Iām overjoyed that I found a gym in close proximity. This day was full body. I always do four sets and four different exercises ( I may sometimes add on if time ā± allows).
Navigating through the world of products and their ingredients has taught me to be vigilant about what I eat, consume, and apply on my body. Here in Kigali, the go-to repellent brand that's frequently used contains an active ingredient called Transfluthrin. However, it's important to note that this ingredient can have negative effects on humans, such as nervousness, anxiety, tremors, skin allergies, and sneezing (consider it a disruptor). Prolonged use of various products with harmful side effects can truly wreak havoc on our bodies, and reversing the damage can be quite challenging. That's why I always take the time to research a product's ingredient list before willingly accepting any potential consequences. Life has taught me the importance of making informed decisions. #15btwn #essentialoils #kigali #plantbased #Mississippi #atlanta #womensupportingwomen #blackwomanownedbusiness #nigeria #Rwanda

Akagera Park, once much larger, suffered during the Rwandan genocide. Lions were eradicated but are now making a comeback. This vast park couldn't be explored in a day; we barely covered half. Witnessing the Tanzanian border's beauty, we encountered a solitary elephant, possibly challenged for dominance. Animals roam freely, echoing the wild. Though quiet during the day, nights reveal their noisy nature. A thrilling and humbling experience...#fyp #15btwn #wildlife #travel #rwanda #africa #atlanta
