Weekends In the life of a Med Student || Bake dates and Bible studies

Happy Wednesday!

There's just something about bonding over baking (or in this case icing) that brings you closer and calms your soul.🎂

Have you ever had a friend that you knew a very long time ago, lost touch with and came in contact with again? Meet Michelle. I can for sure say that God brought us back into each others lives, all these years later to encourage, support and help each other grow.👭 She's such a loving gentle soul and I always feel right at home when I'm at her place.😍😌

This bake date was a continuation from a few dates we had last summer and I'm so glad we got the chance to bond and catch up over something that we both love while she was here. Having her mum (who is amazing!) there with us was the icing on the cake. - See what I did there?😂

And at the end of the day after feeding our eyes and our stomachs, we fed our souls. If you get the chance to go through Judah Smith's "How's Your Soul?"series, go for it! It'll change your life.🙌

Here's a quick recap of what happened:

Till the next Vlog. 😉

Bisous!

Note to Self: Intimacy with God

Happy Thursday!

I know what you're thinking. Ït's been forever since she sat and wrote something properly on here." And I agree. There's nothing I can say or do that would help you understand just how much I needed the little impromptu hiatus(es) I've been taking over the year, so I won't even get into that. I did miss you though 😉

For those of you who stayed loyal, and kept checking on me every once in a while: I'm ever so grateful! And I see each and every one of you! 👀😍😘

So for you, especially for you, here's a little something I wrote:

There's a special place I'm striving to get to, something I've been learning about for a while.
Come with me as I endeavor to illustrate it with my words.
Or at the very least try to make you smile.😏

Bisous!

P.S I've got a fun vlog for yáll coming out soon 😁

Happy Fri-Yay!

And a very happy September to you😁

In case you haven't gotten the chance to see it yet, here's a sneak peak into Operation Passion Kasama which took place on the 4th to the 7th August. (Yes, I'm slacking. lol)

I won't say much, but I can tell you this, It. Was. Amazing!
Life and perspective changed. Plus the views? Wow.😍😱

Enjoy!😁

Bisous!

Bisous.

Single in a world full of relationships

Other person: "So how's your boyfriend?"
Me: "Lol what boyfriend?"
Them: "The man in your life..."
Me: "Oh, no. I don't have one of those, I'm very single."
Them: "Why are you still single?" 😕
Me: 😂 Am I not allowed to be?

I cannot tell you how many times I have this conversation. Well, not those exact words but you get the gist right? #FunTimes

Taking Stock: Autumn/Winter 2017

My levels of slacking are unacceptable, I know.

Hopefully this will catch you up with all that's been going on in my life and keep you busy long enough to forget I was gone for so long. lol

Making: Progress with my Goals. Finally started my YouTube channel after
procrastinating for so long.

Cooking/Baking: Pinterest inspired recipes like that Butter Chicken I was craving

Drinking: Water (do I need to put that there any more? or can we assume that it's my staple now?) and Ginger and honey tea (for a change) 

Craving: A gourmet milkshake from the cake bar!

Meal prep er Fridays?

You know those things, the things that other people do and you think are a little weird until you try them and have your whole life changed? This is one of them. lol.

Ever since I've been on Pinterest meal prepping has been a thing. Like a serious thing. All the food bloggers rave about their overnight oats ( Running with Spoons has some in a smoothie version that I'm dying to try) and YouTube is jam packed with people doing their own versions of it depending on their diet and preference. Check out Domestic Geek to see what I'm on about.

So I've been exposed to it all for a while now, so why am I only talking about it now? Well, a couple of weeks ago in our group chat Mufwaya (Hey girl!) mentioned she was doing it and it automatically sparked my interest in it again. You know, cause I've been crazy busy and coming back from a looong day at school to start cooking from scratch everyday is not my favourite thing to do. That and when am I really going to get the time to cook a whole healthy meal in between coming back from class, going for a run and having to study in the night? 😕

Thinking out loud : Med School editon

Here's a few things I've learnt from my first year in Med school:

❤ Life doesn't have to be perfect. Sometimes you're allowed to wrap yourself in a blanket (like a burrito) and watch *insert preferred sad movie* till you shed a tear. 😢

❤ Smiling even when you don't feel like it is a guaranteed way to make you happier😄

Feminists : The thing about females

There's this thing about females, that I'm not sure they see.

How they can bless you with a smile,

Or leave you with a frown. 

There's this thing about females, this power that they have.

They can build up whole cities,

Or tear them down.

See the thing about females, that I don't understand.

Is why sometimes they choose to be thorns in your side, 

Instead of jewels in your crown.

Why can't we lay bricks, and build up each other's castles? 

Instead of causing and building up walls of pain.

Why can't we speak to each other's faces in love?

Instead of driving each other insane.

Why can't we help establish each other's empires?

See there's more we have to gain.

We need to do better. Be better. Improve.

We need to be feminists.

And then, then the whole world will move.

The Perfect Sacrifice

*God’s Story*

The religious leaders are looking for a way to seize Jesus, so they can hardly believe it when Judas offers to betray Jesus and follows through.

Jesus is arrested and the disciples scatter. When Jesus is brought before the Jewish ruling council, the high priest asks him if he is the Messiah. Jesus answers plainly: “I am” (Mark 14:62). Even though it’s the truth, it’s blasphemy to the religious leaders. They declare Jesus as worthy of death.

Early in the morning, the religious council takes Jesus to Pilate, the Roman governor who has authority in capital cases. Because it’s Roman custom to release a Jewish prisoner at Passover, Pilate gives the people the opportunity to release Jesus. But they choose a convicted murderer instead, demanding Jesus’ death.

Note to Self

Note to Self

Dates with Him 😍

It's in the quiet times.

The times when everything around me is still.

The times when the silence is so loud, when life has had it's fill.

That's when He reaches out and touches me.

To let me know that He's still there.

That He's always watching and He'll always care.

That we can just sit and have a conversation.

About everything and nothing.

That we can chat for hours on end and He can tell me something.

Something I may not have heard in the loudness, or in the rush.

Something I may have been asking/searching/waiting for, He just wanted me to hush.

See He's not the type to shout out loud, or to push and shove.

He's such a gentleman and does everything with love.

So in those quiet times, when I can finally listen clear.

I have dates with God, and he tells me all I need to hear.

How to study: Snack - Caramel Corn Edition

Happy FriYay!

So today's going to be a (semi) foodie post cause you know, there's always time to eat. 

Seriously.

Also I'm a firm believer in snacking to keep me awake during studying. Why? Cause your girl needs a supply of energy and no one falls asleep chewing. Lool. I usually have a bunch of snacks around for this purpose, either fruit, nuts, yogurt or some junk food and tons of water to keep me hydrated. That said, sometimes I actually need to take a break and make a quick snack to wake me up and reset my mind while trying to get some work done.

Last week while I was trying to get some work done for a Physiology end of block test I whipped up this batch of Caramel Corn. It's such a simple treat and it satisfied my candy craving. Although my "Foodies" group did remind me that it looked like a bowl of cavities and diabetes🙊. Meh, I don't do this often.😂 

Please note the lack of specific measurements, I just eyeballed it according to how hungry I was feeling and how much popcorn I made😅

Taking Stock: Summer (Rain) 2016/2017

Happy New Year!

You know, where I plan to get a bomb post out for you all, start up on it and leave it half way through..
..because you know, school. And cause I'll get back to it as soon as I can but then I look at the calendar and  we're at the end of January 😢.

Forgive me?

Yes?

Awesome!
