Current Faves- November

As most of you know, a lot of (Nigerian) songs were released this month, perhaps in anticipation for the festive season. Unlike the usual, a lot of them were actually very pleasant to listen to.

They are as follows:

Falz- Child of the World (off his new album "27")

Simi- Joromi [this is old, but I just caught wind of it]

Davido- Like Dat

The following faves are off Olamide's new album "Lagos Nawa". The vibe on this album is very different compared to my other faves: Baddest Guy Ever Liveth and Eyan Mayweather

Olamide- Bend it Over ft. Reminisce & Timaya

Olamide- Saysaymalay

Olamide- Everyday is not Christmas

Olamide- On a Must Buzz

Did your favorites make my list?


If it's your first time here, welcome! I started this series over the summer per the request of some of my Snapchat followers who asked me to share my music playlist; and so I have decided to do so monthly.

VISIT TO MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA

This trip took place in July. I went with my friend, Ella.
It was our first time on the island and we enjoyed every bit of it, especially towards the end. We were there for 4nights.
We lodged at Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall (very exquisite).
We visited Mystic Mountain where we went on activities such as the sky explorer, bobsled, zip-lines; we also went to Dunn's Riverfall on the excursion.  
We got to witness the annual sumfest which was huge!
Towards the end, we visited the locals; ate proper jerk chicken and went to Pier 1 for a karaoke night.

Get To Know Me

Hi lovelies!

I can't believe I didn't post this video sooner.
I created a video tag a lil over a week ago, and if you've followed my blog since it's creation (in 2011), you'd know some of these random facts about me.
Enjoy.

China Young on YouTube

Hey, loves!!

Guess who's on YouTube? 

That's right. Me! **Yayy**
So yeah, I finally got back on yesterday, May 1st. Some of you may know that I used to have a channel. As a matter of fact, I had two.
The first one was in 2009, and the second in 2012. Third time the charm, right?

My channel will consists of vlogs and sit-down videos. The only thing with my vlogs is that they'll be missing monologues, unless I have to explain certain situations or an impending situation.
I'll vlog events/activities/adventures/travels.

Do check out my first video. I tried with this editing stuff, eh?

Let me know what you think.

Tiwa Savage- All Over
Niniola- Maradona

YCee ft. Maleek Berry- Juice

Easter Weekend

Happy Easter Monday!!

I had a great weekend- a great way to unwind having passed through my first solo night at my new job!

I bought a new camera- Sony A5100- the mirrorless camera that I love!

I initially bought the A6000 but returned it because the view finder only flipped at a 90-degree angle. I'm venturing into YouTube (for the 3rd time), and I thought I should have a camera with a selfie mode for efficient filming, until I get my angles right at least.

Anyway, I tested out the camera by the Lakefront. The photos below are unedited; raw and uncut, so that you can see the images it puts forth!

Top- Boohoo, Pants- (Old thrift purchase), Heels- Steve Madden, Purse- YSL

 

I'll be sure to post a link to my new YouTube account.

Get Out

Hi guys!

This is a really quick post. 

I just want to say how great of a movie "Get Out" is!! I went with a friend to go see it on its release date, February 24th, and it was one of the best last decision I've ever made in movie-watching-history.

The actors were phemoninal. The movie is supposed to be "scary" but I found it comical throughout. And it was more of a freaky movie than horrific as indicated. 

Artists like Chance The Rapper and The Game have bought out a theater in their cities for residents to go watch for free. Hellur, need I say more?

Go see it.

I will be glad to take any friend to go see it for a second time, and a third :)

Niagara 2.0

How's the new year treating ya?

Mine has been pretty relaxing as I'm in my 2nd week of my 2-week work vacation.

As some of you may know, I spent the New Year in Ontario, CA. Visited Niagara Falls on a very cold afternoon, but this time around, it wasn't snowing, and the water wasn't frozen!
See my first visit here

A few photos of my taken by my personal paparazzi :)

Bodysuit- Boohoo, Jean Jacket- Akira (old), Glasses- ASOS

 

 

 I was only able to take a few because my bf was worried about me catching a cold- so that was cut short.

 

I resume work next week.

Looking into nursing schools for my graduate program.

Later.

Happy New Year!!

Happy first day of a new beginning!

I always feel some type of way- a good way, when entering a new year. I reflect on the good things that God made possible in my life- accomplished goals, family, friendships, relationships, my career, health, finances, and just overall blessings.

 

I brought in the new year in church, like I've always done since I can remember. It gives me joy knowing that I'm able to start the year in God's presence. Sometimes, I party afterwards or simply go home. 

 

For this new year, I pray for God's abundant blessings in every aspect of our lives. I pray that 2017 is everything we aim to achieve.

 I for one, have a major goal which I'll delve in when the time comes.

 

Have a prosperous new year, guys!
