Thrifty Thursday: Salvation Army Trip

Having recently completed a winter cleaning session, I decided to stop at my local salvation army to donate some clothes and browse around too.  It's been a while since I've been out thrifting on account of I was on a tight budget and trying to be a minimalist. And also to be quiet frank, I didn't NEED anything  in particular throughout the cold winter months.  But now that the weather is warmer, its wedding season, graduation season, barbecue parties, pool parties and etc.  Here are 3 amazing NEW! finds I got on my latest trip to the Salvation Army. Everything was 50% off the price tag so I paid around $3 for each pair of shoes and they were all brand new! 1. Just Fab Prima Thigh High boots The irony of this find is, I have been looking every where for affordable thigh high boots that can accommodate my muscular calves. I had even gotten to the point of saving and investing $$$$$ for a luxury brand pair. This was definitely my best find from this trip....

Okwele Series 2017: "The Cameroon We Don't Know"

A couple of weeks ago, I attended the 2nd edition of the Okwele North  America Series The theme of the series was   "The Cameroon We Don't Know" Usually while attending networking events or conferences, I am very deliberate in targeting only panels that engage my interest.  This time around, I choose to be open minded and attended every discussion session. This was definitely a good decision because I thoroughly enjoyed being part of every session in this series . By the end of the weekend, I was so inspired and full of hope my home country, Cameroon. Friday night was an informal meet and greet with conversations about pursuing careers outside of the traditional norm. And on Saturday morning, we got inspired into the day by the amazing keynote speaker Monsieur Jean Victor Nkolo. The only thing I regret not doing is taping his whole speech so I could play it over and over and over again on my headset every time life gets me down and I just need a ...

My First Boston Celtic Game: NBA PLAYOFFs

I'm not going to make this a poetic post. I've been to many ball games in Atlanta; football, baseball, soccer and basketball games. But this was my first ball game in Boston even though I've been to TD Gardens many times for other types of events like concerts and shows. As with any other event space, the food was pricey, the drinks weren't strong enough but the game was AMAZING!!!! I loved every part of the experience. My friend and I took an uber to the gardens for an easy $9.60 which was great. You don't have to worry about spending time looking for parking or driving under the influence. However, after the game our uber surge charge went up to $30.00 so we took the mbta train!  I can't believe it took me this long to attend a game in Boston. Now am going to sign up for more games, I'll go see the Red Sox play, the Bruins, and maybe one day I'll brave the masses and head to foxborough for the football games
