Une Semaine dans Mes⚘️TenuesπŸ‘–

These are my shorts of my outfits of the week. I do not have huge events to go unfortunately. It is a very basic life here so my style cannot be a lot honestly...Nothing special for now. I do not date either ( which I am not looking to do it soon anyway and , it is such a relief!πŸ˜ŒπŸ’†‍♀️) I dress for myself❤️🌺 However, I know I have to work on my weight hmmm...I start walking to lose some but I do not feel any pressure on it anymore like I felt before. I also know that I should work on my style as well but for now I am ok since I do not do much out there. I don't want to lie about how I love jeans. Yes! I love jeans! πŸ‘–⚘️I even have a whole post on it. I like neutral colors in general because they are easy to wear in my own opinion. Sometimes I can do colorful outfits too. It depends on my mood. Black, white, blue navy, beige... I ❤️ love. Sometimes I fall for yellow, orange other blues and pink.
What are your favorite colors? How do you organize your outfits of the week?
Ok! I tried that one reallyπŸ˜…!
Ok! i think i said everything in this short post see you soon! That was it and have a wonderful weekend

Cooking is Fun!πŸ˜…πŸ‘Œ

Hello Dear Readers, this is another post on cooking. As I said before I will keep posting on cooking and maybe with time more of things that I like to do too. It takes time to share in my youtube channel. I didn't know how not easy and courageous it is to start a youtube channel because yourself out there to strangers's opinions and criticism etc. All because you want to share what you know to the world.
Cooking is fun indeed especially when I am watching and listening to the news and my podcast in the kitchen. You cook and you watch your favorite youtubers. Everyday I must learn something! In the kitchen everything must be clean and comfortable for me to do the work. As my cousin always says, kitchen is my laboratory. Lol! She is so much fun! Yes, I can't cook in a messy kitchen. Come on ! it is a laboratory for God's sake Ok! Ok! in the picture above, this is my very soft chocolate 🍫 Cake a French πŸ‡«πŸ‡· recipe that I like! we say the Moelleux de chocolat! That cake must melt in your mouth as you eating it and you must feel the taste of the dark chocolate on your tongue (Not too much sugar please) and your first words should be hmmm Yummy!! The cake is light but GOOD! So I must bake it good In general, I cook food from my country and some others. I do full meals and some desserts πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‹ Cooking is fun! CrΓͺpes!! Yes, this is another French recipe by the way that I like.
The compotes is a recipe I learned from my Mom😊It is a wonder. Ok! This is my carnet de cuisine post number 3
Chicken wings cooked in oven with attieke (cassava couscous originally from Ivory Coast) Attieke is made there. I discovered it when I was young through my Mom because my family used to live there in the 70's
fish Louisiana style Ok! I was trying but I want to discover and eat Louisiana's Cuisine. I will do it! I like to discover other countries and people's cuisine.

My Thoughts and Discussions of the Month

Hello! Dear Readers these are my discussions of the month. More videos down here. I don't need to write a lot now since I make videos πŸ˜πŸ˜… Being a mother and do everything takes time too. I am glad it is the weekend. I will have a post on cooking food again this weekend because I cook often. So without further ado this is: Video 1

A little break from these discussions. We need to pray for people who have been touched by the recent hurricane...They lost their homes, family members...I am telling you it is so sad. We must keep them in prayers. It hurts! I am watching now Donald Trump live in Butler, PA where he almost lost his life because he was shot on his ear. It is courageous to go back to the place that has some bad memories. Trump is doing the work seriously. He goes to cities that I have never heard since I am in America. November is coming soon...so yes. I am also glad to see that Elon Musk is publicly endorsing Donald Trump. He is attending the rally in support. He gets all my respect seriously. Elon Musk I think last year moved his HQ to Texas. Yes, He left California for Texas which I found quite interesting. Elon is an example of a succesful immigrant (He is now American) his story is inspiring.
Ok! Back to my discussions here Video 5

Too much division for Nothing...I hope people will unite again for the right things to save their countries. See you soon! Goodbye...

The Heart is Here and There

I love this picture. My cousin took that picture of me while we went to walk at the coast and seat on the rocks.Things are changing back home and life keeps go on. ******************************************************************************************************************************************* Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! I can't keep my mouth shut as a good African. I like to gossip sometimes but please can someone tell me if Kamala Harris is really campaigning out there? Because I barely see her active on the ground. I thought she told Taraji Henson on the phone that she was out "in these streets..." Mama kamala we don't see you enough o!πŸ‘€. Please make yourself more visible. I put my glasses and I can't see you.I wonder which streets was she referring to guys? I personally only see her on TV talking with the Oprahzzz , mediazzz etc. You need to do like your opponent o! Go straight to the people talk to them. Address real issues and stop avoiding real questions by laughing because we know you.πŸ‘€
And stop acting 🎬 These streets seem empty to me... You need to do more. I mean sorry, I was just askingπŸ‘€. I beg🚢‍♀️🚢‍♀️. It was just a question. I say it because every single day I see Donald Trump live in cities after cities. From a State to another. rally after rally. The man is a machine seriously even after death threats and almost losing his life, he is still standing. I am talking as being neutral.. I mean That's why I said last time call him legend. He is legend! November is close we are just watching...eyes wide open!πŸ‘€ *************************************************************************************************************************************************** Back to my post "The Heart is Here and There" I am lost in my world. This picture takes me back to some little sweet afternoons back home. I was looking at all my pictures with my son and my family. My Mom celebrated her birthday today and it was good talking to her. I have a full day of cooking tomorrow (Cooking is maybe one of the things I do often. I go to the kitchen I play my podcast or watch the news while cooking. It relaxes me a lot) So tomorrow is mangoes compote (My Mom showed me the recipe) crepes and Chocolate fondant ( a very French recipe) Today I have also made a meal so yes. In my country 🌴☀️and in my family it is a lifestyle. Cooking is art! πŸ˜…! We spend times together while cooking, women to women, we gather and we share stories, we laugh...I mean it is a lifetsyle. It is a good time. Here I am alone and I try to keep that tradition on my own by listening to podcast and the news... Recipes and traditional dishes of my country are so many! I am so proud of that part of my culture. I have a whole chapter on that in my book Destination Libreville. Cooking is a whole process . Cooking is art and culture that's why it takes time. I don't have all this talent but I know a little bit! A woman should cook with love ❤ and patience
I am learning to improve my skills even though I do not have everything from home here. I also try to remember everything that was taught to me. I know one thing: Everything that you do must have passion in it!
I miss you my little ville! I miss you Libreville☀️ my hometown. I was just reading a post that I wrote months ago about the mysterious sea of Gabon. Thrilling stories of supernatural beings encountering humans like you and me. Strange beings ruling their way.. And, I remember my best place to write at the time at 🏑home in my appartement. The best place was in my sofa! It was so comfortable with a beautiful view of the sea that craddled me and inspired me everyday. It was quiet but the sound of the waves of the sea hitting the rocks was everything! Hmmm! what a delight! I miss my little nest! My place of inspiration. The sun,🌞 the ships, the moon πŸŒ•...I mean I was in another world. One of my best places to be...to get inspiration. The best place to make love ❤πŸ˜‰ too πŸ˜‚ yes, why not?!
Another Day...I love the peace and quiet time...
Oliver Ngoma "Muetse" (to me it feels like being home when I listen to this song. It relaxes me so much! ) Oliver Ngoma is a singer of Gabon but known internationally as the king of Afro Zouk.😊
When I like to decorate my place or trying something different...I like to change stuffs around. ok! m, I don't like to see or do the same things over and over again. it is boring! Seriously I just can't!🀦‍♀ that's me.
That's a beautiful song 🎡 of my country ( a sad love ❤ story of a woman who saw her πŸ’” lover leaving the village and promising her he will be back for her but he never did. She kept coming to the shore of the river to wait for him days after days months after months in vain. Asking for him to fishermen but he never came back. She fell into his false promises) Nadege Mbadou "Muere"
But life must go on! Yes, my life must go on. I will be back... I am working on a project but really I do NOT have inspiration at all to keep moving. I feel stuck! Sometimes discouraged. Does it happen to you sometimes too? It was good watching videos of women of my age who are really positive and dynamic. Inspiring as well. Sometimes you feel like you have all the energy and sometimes you are like exhausted but life must go on! (and when you have a child is even more. So yes! I applaud people who have many kids. I will wait before having another one I beg! Because...it's a lot of work to be a parent!) And you Dear Readers, how are you doing? How was your week? I can't believe we are heading to the end of year 2024! Wow! Time goes fast now! We better not wasting our time doing not important things...I am trying to stay productive every single day but mostly positive but it is not easy
Last time I realized that I did not explain myself well on my last video and it could be misunderstood by viewers. For that reason, I decided to do a quick video on that!
Tomorrow Sunday will be a special cooking day after church! Thank you for reading and watching. I will see you soon in another post. Kimberlite Zouk ( French islands) La Nuit. Sweet memories of Summers in Paris 90's

The Downfall of a Star 🌟

Is it the end of Puff Daddy aka P Diddy era? This is a real live story of a star's downfall. I remember the year when Whitney Houston passed away, the media was calling her The Fallen Star 🌟, I have always disliked this title on her because she did nothing wrong . She went through a lot and that were the words they chose to call her. They could have found something else. However, P Diddy'story is a real story of a Fallen Star 🌟
I am so in shock of what I read days after days about P Diddy's case...This is crazy! It doesn't stop!! 😳 I thought we were done with serious cases like the Bernie Maddof, the Jeffrey Epstein, the Harvey Westein, the Cosby and R Kelly. But I was far to imagine what was coming this year. So who is going to be next? First, Let's see what will come out of this coming trial πŸ‘€ It is definitely going to be nasty if the man opens his mouth about the reality of that showbiz industry. Everything started with Cassie who opened the Pandora box after suing Diddy few months ago. Ha! Women! When I say never play with a woman. Especially when you have hurt her...hmm! you can't deal with it o! Then, the FBI who raid his mansions in Miami I think...Gosh! so many things happened like a castle cards! Watching on the news P Diddy being arrested and sent to jail, and all the story unfolding day by day, I am speechless...This is something that I could have not imagined coming like that eventhough this man's character never seated right to me with too much attitude The allegations are cra-zy! Some people have been denouncing his antics but I guess some people knew how to silence them . People have been saying that Hollywood is an EVIL place. Michael Jackson kept talking about it: " DO NOT bring your children there" Candace Owens keeps saying that Hollywood is a witchcraft industry and so on. And yes, because when you go online and make research about the origins and the beginning of Hollywood, and how it played through decades , you are like ...hmmm πŸ€” maybe they are right. Hollywood by definition is about casting spells. So imagine through the years how their movies have been programming and transforming the morals and family values. hmmm No comment! i was just saying. Many people have talked but I admit that we have always been fascinated by the glamorous images of the red carpets the glitz, the fashion and hairstyles etc. We are moved by some artists performances. Yes, it made me dream too! I myself has been a movie 🎬 and music lover. I can't deny how amazed by some talents I was. I dreamt Hollywood like any other one. I fell in love with some male celebrities but today I am more careful because i see the machine behind that is destroying our moral and normal family values nowadays. They made people accepting the unacceptable and things that are anti biblical through the years...
There was a time in the 80's and 90's it was magical to seat in front of TV ( eventhough my Dad hated TV so much . I understood it later on...) and watching all these American movies and TV series that were teaching family values, Faith in God, Love and compassion for thy neighbors, bravery and being loyal but today we watch a different ways of viewing life. Today since the late 90's we kept seeing Rappers singing sex on TV, alcohol 🍸 Black women naked shaking their bum bum...twerking not knowing that it was in fact their real lives and I think our parents in Africa back in the days were right to worry about this type of music 🎢 coming from America bc later on I see that it changed our values and culture in a way...sigh It will be interesting to search for the reasons why everything started to be perverted in that circle of showbiz people have been saying that celebrities do not die Normally in this circle. These celebrities many of them have a very dark side and a dark past.
Now this is in one word everything described and unfortunately it is difficult to see that a Black man who seemed to be so successful in music 🎢 and business could have done so much evil to other people. Yes, today we talk about insane numbers of baby oils and sex toys in a mansion. ( and yes, as I said last time i believe that 70% of men nowadays are in baby oil that's why ladies you can't find a partner. And to people who have always supporting the same same, you perfectly know what the Bible says about that. Today, you have more women single not by choice necessarily. Because yes, God was not crazy when He did things in the beginning...) Goodness! They are so sexually addicted (Hollywood is sick!) to one another that they have no limits? This is what the Bible was saying they will be going down and down to in their addictions... Diddy has literally oiled up the game. Baby oils are the new norm? Baby oil πŸ›’ here baby oil there! wow!!😳 They talk about some freak offs parties that implicated many other celebrities and for sure some politicians...Wait and see. We will hear! Just wait! The list of his guests attending the freak offs is crazy. But seriously are we surprised? No. Not at all. But we are the same who are standing on our feet when we see them to applaud them instead of calling them out for what they do. I am glad many more victims will be coming to talk . We are the same who run to them and scream their names with excitement just to get a picture and autograph...This is our sad world. We are applauding the people who are doing the wrong things. The man is probably worse than Jeffrey Epstein...I mean...I don't know. Who knows? When you read that some minors were also victims. Sex trafficking, prostitution, racketeering conspiracy. Sexual abuse, kidnapping... My head is like spinning ... Imagine the sharing of STDs, they can't control themselves?? who was the man? To the point that some religious figures are cited in the guests list. Yoooooo!!! my goodness! How did he get all these connections of high profiles like the Epstein's list. Po! po! po! The showbiz is a shocking world. The question is now if you ever want to share to the world your passion how are you going to do it? Maybe be in Hollywood without being in Hollywood? Or simply not at all? Tell me what you think. Like not attending parties or ...I don't know anymore. Wow! I have no more words to add. Oil is not enough o! I beg! I am done for tonight. This is something to think about as I am closing this post. Now we know who we have been admiring...like I always say , DO Not envy what you don't know. I enjoy my simple life. I don't have everything but at least I have my peace of mind. Not judging...just saying. This is who they are. smh. Not judging but this is my humble conclusion as I close this post that I didn't prepare. ( Sorry for misspelled words etc) I wrote as I felt and thought. The Bible says in Mark 8:6 " what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the world, and lose his own soul" Stop idolizing these humans! Stop idolizing them! Dear Readers the most important things are not the things of this world that will get rotten with times and not the fame but the salvation of our Soul in Jesus Christ. Wake up! Our world is in trouble. it is a mess! Let's get back to the basic things and the true one which is the fear and love of God. it is still time. Thank you for reading and PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN πŸ™and You, Men of God preach the TRUTH TO PEOPLE

Happy Sunday! 🌞

Happy Sunday! and sunny day for me ☀️ Happy Sunday I send you a wave of sunlight ✨️ These are the flowers of my aunt's garden in Libreville my hometown. I think they are called the Hortensia. (There was a time I was trying to learn flowers names bc I like them so much) I love flowers and in my family, women (my Mother and my Aunts who are my Mothers) garden a lot. They have what we call in French green hands. They like to plant and they have good hands. These flowers, I took this picture a Sunday afternoon when we were sitting outside to enjoy the sun and the weather. I love the way she takes good care of her garden and flowers with Love. My Mom does th same thing in France when I go visiting her, there are always plants and flowers on the balcony of her appartment. My aunt also is not living far from our coast side (the beach) in Libreville my hometown. Every Sundays after church, I would go with my son visiting her and my other aunt. My son likes his grandmothers so so much! Some Saturdays, in Libreville, I would leave my appartement to go visit my uncle (my mother's young brother) I enjoyed spending time to listen to him. He always have inspiring words and good advices when I was stuck in some decisions making about my home family duties. I feel blessed to have all this people ahead and around me. Also my cousins!!! Yes lol! My cousins I miss them all. Our times together as a family Anyway, this sunday I was thinking about that family routine. Saturday was the beach time or the swimming pool! Family♥️ is EVERYTHING!! La Baie des Tortues (The Bay of water Turtles) 🌴🌞
good times It was a good time and it will happen again
The Love of my Life is GOD.♥️ The second Loves are my family and my Land☀️πŸ‡¬πŸ‡¦ where I come from🌴... (But I love the world too because the world is beautiful)

Another Example...

That's why I keep saying that we need reprogrammation of our mind in Africa and change of our mindset. I observed and listen to my people a lot and I agree that there is a lot of work to do (and I include myself as an African) The mentality is too poor. Seriously we need to elevate our mindset. Our mentality is too poor. It will take time before the continent changes when you read and hear some people who think in a certain way...sigh. You are like...Ok! cool. So this is my response to this comment coming from some Africans. They say that some other Africans who are illegally or maybe legally in their country should go back to where they come from and fix their countries. Honestly! This is the first time I hear such things. They say they should Fix the problems of their countries so we will all enjoy a world of accountability and peace. My question here is where have you ever seen accountability in the world of politics? Since I was young I barely saw people paying for their wrong deeds and decision in politics. Usually those who are doing good for their countries are physically eliminated. but very few times I saw accountability. How many political leaders put countries in wars, in economical crisis...have they being accountable? I don't know. I have a question: Where in this world have you seen a country being fixed? The only place I think that exists is in some books that I read and it is mainly utopia. Utopia! I have never heard such comments in my entire life. Maybe some of them are stuck in the world of Voltaire. Yes, I say Voltaire because this makes no sense to me. When I hear this comment my head thinks about Eldorado a place of perfection described by Voltaire in his book Candide. Even countries in the world that are known to be powerful, their people are moving to other countries to find happiness. Now if you talk about illegals you can only blame your authorities who are not protecting your borders. But only ignorant Africans are those who are crazy about their borders because they can't look examples of European Union. If you talk about illegals, I don't know if refugees are included in this statement. Because as far as I read somewhere, refugees should not be kicked out of a country because it is a situation of life and death. I really don't know. When I read such things, it gives me headaches... I understand now why some friends told me they cannot be around some Africans. I don't blame them. The lesson I learn today is to be around people who have a good mindset. People who see things differently and who are not stuck in their world. However, you can see how the Immigration is a serious discussion in political debates, policies etc. This is my take on this discussion
