MY PRINTIVO EXPERIENCE

Hello Darlings, how has this month been for you? For me it has been great! And I am looking forward to the weeks ahead.

I am doing a review today, I am sure a lot of you must have heard about Printivo abi?

Okay, for those that do not know them; Printivo is an online print provider, providing its customers with free templates created by designers across Nigeria.
What this means in simple english is that you can just go to their website and design your own complimentary card, banners, invitations etc by yasef and they would print and deliver to you.

Last month, I decided to do some stickers for my smoothie cups (By the way, I am into the smoothie business now hehehe that is gist for later) so like I was saying, I now remembered that Sisi Yemmie had written about them some time ago, so I went to their website.

HOW IT WORKS

Its as simple as ABC, you log on to their website, register with a username and password, upload your design or design yours using any of the template provided, check out and pay. Its that simple.

This is what my sticker looks like...

I also made my complimentary cards with them as well...forgive the picture quality.

Asides the great quality, I like their customer service! They are nice and willing to assist if you get stuck at any point.

I also think their prices are very affordable and the service is convenient because I can decide what I want my design to look like from anywhere I am, I don't have to go sit with one printer and be speaking plenty grammer.

As I said before, they offer delivery service and for me, it was fast and in time. I designed my cards on a wednesday because I needed it for an event on Saturday and by thursday I recieved them...Great yea?

That said, I think they are doing a great job and I would recommend them anytime. I wish they have templates for invoices and receipts tho.

BLOOM IS BACK!!!

Almost a year later and Bloom is back!

Hello All!!!

How have you guys been? I sincerely hope I can mend this relationship and prove to you all that you have not left my thoughts all the while I was away.

Where have I been you ask????

Hmm, let me start from beginning...remember I used to live and work in Abuja yea? then one yoruba man came to engaged me abi? (Click here to read engagement gist) Ehen, so I sha got married to the yoruba man in October (sorry some of you did not hear) it was not a carnival wedding.
So which meant I had to move to my husband's house and that is in Lagos.
Moving was not easy for me as I was already used to living in Abuja and been a JJC in lasgidi is no small matter.
I sha moved to Lag and got a job that took my enter life to a whole new level, I mean I did not have time to even make friends sef except at work.
Since then, my calender became tighter, it has been wifey duties..work..saloon..church and more work.
So you see, it is not my fault! But I have made a decision to change that and I am back! Big, Better and Stronger.

Thanks be to God that we are all alive and well and that you can read this blog post and by his grace you would keep reading.

Okay! I have a lot prepped for you guys and I go dey release am small small, so stay glued to this shannel and don't toush that die!

Glad to be back and thank you for reading.

Happy Workers Day and have a great weekend.

Hugs & Kisses

GRATITUDE CHALLENGE:SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR

First of all I want to say a big thank you to Aby aka Madam Purple for tagging me in the gratitude challenge, I am thankful for her and for her blog, she has been a source of inspiration when my tank is empty.
Sometimes I get carried away with all the activities going on in my life but I always make out time to thank God for all he has done for me. I may not be able to mention all of them but I tell him how grateful I am.

THE RULES OF THIS CHALLENGE
1. When nominated you have 24 hours to accept the challenge.
2. You have to write or say 3 things you are grateful for on any social media platform just once.
3. You are to take a picture of a simple pleasure. A simple pleasure is something that makes (or made) you smile in a day preferably non humans (because I am sure a lot of people would list the humans as what they are grateful for). For example a cup of coffee, a bottle of your favorite soda or drink, a scoopful of ice cream, a butterfly that just perched on a window, something at your work desk, a game…You get the drift. It is something that should be inexpensive. It is not an opportunity to show off cars, watches, shoes and all the things that people like showing off nowadays.
4. You have to give out at least 5 USD (convert it to your local currency) within 7 days of accepting the challenge to a less privileged person or a cause or a charity organization. That's about 840 naira.
5. You nominate three people (within your circle) to take up the challenge.
6. If you don’t accept the challenge you are required to donate at least 20 USD to a charity organization of your choice.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR...
1. Love: Love is power, and I feel more powerful when I love people. I am grateful that I have grown to become a more loving person and it gives me so much joy just to show love to other people especially people who have lost hope.
2. Good health: I have not been to the hospital for a long time and the last time I went sef na because I go do test nofin serious. I thank God daily for that.
3. My Job: God has surprised me so much this year and I am grateful. I thank God that I am not jobless even if I don't have all the degrees yet.

MY SIMPLE PLEASURE

I am so grateful for my nails...it grows so fast, I wrapped and polished it #Naturalnails

So, I am nominating...drumrolls....

Finally I am grateful that I can blog and you can read...Enjoy your weekend and God bless you real good.

KEEP UP WITH BLOOM: PACKING FEVER :(

Before I begin today, I want to state that this book I am holding in this photograph is all I need to get all I want out of life! I have decided to follow God's way because its the only way that works for me.

Remember that, the first person to leave a comment wins free airtime...start commenting (Nigerian readers only)...leave your email address after your comment.

Ok! So how are you guys doing? Don't mind my heading for today o...but I actually have packing fever, I hate moving...it scares the crap out of me. Anyhoo before I get carried away lemme gist you about my weekend.

On Friday, I couldn't go to church because it was raining heavily and I kinda had work to do in the office but that is not an excuse tho...I just wasn't feeling up to it before I go dey roast goat for church...what is roasting goat? it is the process of sleeping, and your mouth is opened in the process...get the picture?

So I also finished a book I have been reading recently...Making Marriage Work by Joyce Meyer...and It was amazing, lemme show you the pishure

I am always proud of myself anytime I finish a book and these days I am all about the marriage books...I am learning a lot and I don't plan to stop. I plan to build a library pretty soon.

On Saturday, I had to do some office movement and then I had to face my greatest fear...MOVING!!! I am moving to a new apartment by God's grace and I am happy but I wish someone could pack my things for me :( .

I have been procrastinating but I cannot fight it anymore, so decided to start moving my belongings little by little. I managed to move my clothes from my closet to my box...hehehe proud of me. I just wonder how I go pack go my husband house??? 

Sunday...I had a great time in the presence of my father and I felt refreshed...lemme show you what I wore to church first before I gist you what happened after church.

Nobody buys me dresses like my mother inlaw...chai she is an Angel.

So..the gist, I was cooking  Sunday rice o after church, naim gas finish...JEHOV!!!! I almost cried, has that ever happened to you? I don't wish that on anyone abeg...thank God I had money at home so I rushed to go fill it up...and I ate my rice.

Thanks for reading

The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will answer my prayer

THE 4TH COMMANDMENT.

The series; 10 commandments to financial healing is still on-going o, I hope you guys are following? I trust that we are learning a thing or two, tho I feel bad sometimes that I do not get feedback but either way I would go on, I believe someone out there is being blessed by this.

Ok on to today's commandment...

Be prepared for what tomorrow brings.
No matter what, please commit to preparing yourself financially for the unexpected. This is something that most of us do not do and I used to be GUILTY!!! But thank God I have learnt my lesson and I have started preparing myself financially.
Sometimes I blame it on the economy, my income or the fact that most Nigerian private firms enjoy cheap labour but the truth is you cannot use what you do not have and if emergency arises, its not a fun thing to be running from pillar to post looking for who to borrow money from.

We have to use wisdom as it relates to our finances, wisdom is one of the key foundations to successfully obtaining financial healing.
Ask yourself now, would an unexpected expense set you back or would you be able to handle it and get back on your feet? As you spend your money remember to plan for the unexpected...Insure your house and cars, save for emergencies and don't forget to invest because most times when all is lost, all you can fall back to are your investments.
Its not a matter of what if, but when the rain falls...We have to be prepared for what tomorrow brings.

Thanks for always reading.

God bless you abundantly

But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him. His salvation extends to the children's children of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments.

- Psalm 103:17-18NLT

KEEP UP WITH BLOOM: LAST DAYS!!!

Hey guys! How was your weekend? Don't really know how mine disappeared sha...weekends are really made in china and na the lowest grade.

Apologies for my absence on Friday, it was due to a very busy schedule, today is equally busy but I already told myself I must post today...so here I am.

Lets begin with Friday...oh by the way, been thinking of a way to thank my followers and readers for always been there and I came up with a brilliant idea. The first of leave a comment gets free airtime from me!!!
So lets get commenting...please leave your email after your comment and you'll hear from moi. Applicable to only Nigerian Readers please.

So about Friday, I went to church after work as usual and it was an awesome time in the presence of God. Its always a great time tho...I usually do not do any other thing after church because by the time I am done, it should be about 9pm and all I want to do is sleep. So that was how Friday went.

On Saturday, I was up early because I had loads of things to do...and that was how my day just went vavavoom.

On Sunday, Oh! One of my best days in the week and it was amazing just singing and dancing in my father's presence and I smiled home afterwards and at my sunday rice and slept...Shinning teeth.
I really don't have plenty activities for now, some people say my life is boring but I say my life is peaceful and I enjoy minding my business.
Anyhoo...

Loving my new mani...all smiles

What I wore to my father's house on Sunday...

So, you might be wondering what I meant when I said LAST DAYS huh? Oh well with the recent happenings in the world, I do believe Jesus is coming soon and I urge you all to love each other, be good to people, pray and live ready because the end is near. 

Ok bye...

Thanks for reading

The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil

COMMANDMENT 3

Woo Hoo, How are you guys doing today? How market? Hope your week has been blessed so far?

So I don come today with number 3 today o and I hope you are ready? Read number 1 HERE and number 2 HERE to catch up.

COMMANDMENT 3

Let your budget inspire you.

We hear it all the time, we must spend within our budget, don't live above your means but what does this really mean?

Many people spend aimlessly without preparing a budget and as a result, they usually run into financial stress. But there is help and darris why you are reading this post.

Create a budget! 

A budget is simply a listing of expected income and expenses for a period of time. A budget should be prepared at the beginning of the month or periodically with the understanding that it is a flexible document (feel like a lecturer right now).

Ok! so moving on...you should budget for all expected expenses because a budget serves as a road map to reach financial goals.

Let your budget inspire you daily, If you want to obtain victory over your financial life, consider taking steps towards living within your budget. If the need is not an emergency and you have already written your budget for the month, you should not allocate money to it.

Its not always easy I tell you but it can be done...just trust God and he'll help you.

I hope this has helped someone make a decision today? Until tomorrow when I come again with the 4th commandment, keep tithing, keep declaring and stay blessed.

Hugs & Kisses

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. 

-1 Peter 2:9 NLT
