When CNN and HLN say yes you basically can't say no!

Following my previous post 'Everyone's path is so different' which paid homage to my role models shortly after I was given undoubtedly one of the best advice I have received to this date about career moves and how to make it within the TV business via periscope. I was overwhelmed from the feedback I received from my role models and how sweet they were about my blog post.

As humans we feel energised when we get recognition and validation. Inevitably one has the tendency to want to doubt themselves as an individual, feeling like you cannot attain a certain level or get to the peak of your dreams. You sit down wondering when will it ever get better? Or when will I ever make it?

You've probably been laughed at, bullied, doubted, disliked or told you can make it

BUT regardless if any applies to you reading this or has ever applied

Truth is we all have the capabilities and the ingredients required within us to succeed within any chosen field. It takes preparation, seriousness and focus. Keeping one's eye on the prize and closing both eyes to distraction at the same time.


I'm determined to make it and so you should be too! Max Foster from CNN after watching me anchor Buckingham News on Youtube kindly gave me his thoughts and feedback as to how I can keep getting better and better. After watching he concluded that: "You have got it" :)

Errol Barnett CNN correspondent in Atlanta dedicated a Facebook post to me and my blog post. He wished me luck and also enjoyed reading the post. I was pleasantly surprised! This made my day.

Zain Asher CNN newsroom co-anchor also gave me the thumbs up via a Twitter message.

The beautiful Melissa Knowles American reporter and TV host on the daily share, HLN said that "My blog is really cool and that she loved my outfits". I don't think she knows it yet but I love hers too :)

The sweet CNN International news anchor Rosemary Church thought "Great job and she really loved reading it".

:)

Got a few moments? Maybe over a tea break or whilst you are on the train to work have a browse through below of all the lovely comments and audio feedback I got from Periscope.

Larell from CNN, was kind enough to have a read and has given me his opinion so far 

Max Foster Anchor and London Correspondent for CNN international gave me some more advice on Periscope. Have a listen!

Errol Barnett and Rosemary Church also gave me a lovely shout out this morning on Periscope. Have a listen :)

P.S apologies for the sound quality, I was recording from iPhone to a software on my PC. 

I hope you enjoyed this blog post! Stay tuned for the next post :)

Healthy eating made me look like this.....

What do you guys think of healthy living and healthy eating?

For anyone who knows me or has encountered me will know that I'm all about the healthy life! Now for some of you reading you may feel that healthy eating is boring and so bland and it costs too much money but why not look at healthy eating as a way to invest into yourself and your wellbeing?

I'm currently at Uni but I still make sure that my diet consists of fresh fruits and vegetables. I don't really crave chocolate, sweets or junk food! Once in a while if I do crave something else other than what my diet is accustomed to I decide to give myself a treat and order a chinese takeaway! LOL...

My favorite is dish from a chinese restaurant or takeaway place would be King prawn fried rice with sweet and sour King prawn (Hong Kong style) with some Seaweed on the side :) p.s That's an easy way to my heart! I'm such a foodie :)

Truth is because my stomach is so used to clean eating if I do happen to have a slice of chocolate or a sweet my belly will start to rumble reminding me - "Zoe what do you think you are putting inside of yourself"?

I'm definitely not suggesting or insinuating that healthy eating is automatic and can be learnt in one day. I can definitely assure you that it takes consistency and dedication because the results are so worth it. For as long as I can remember I have maintained a healthy size 8 and have never been bigger or smaller.  :)

Many people have asked me how I'm so skinny and if I exercise?

Truth is no I don't exercise... The last time I visited the gym was about 2 and a half years ago!

"How do you maintain your figure?"

"You eat so much and yet still remain the same size"....

I'm a massive fan of juicing and if you scroll through some of my earlier posts you can see that I juice every single morning. Juicing is such an easy way to get nutrients required straight to your blood without having to chow down masses of fruit. If you are always on the go or have a busy lifestyle set your alarm an hour early, and put some time aside to juice and then package it in a portable flask. As you are driving, on the bus, on the train, on the plane... Or maybe not on the plane as customs may not allow you to take liquid with you on the plane but at least you can drink it whilst going through the checks at the airport ;)

What I'm trying to say is that you can juice and take your time and drink it! Its super healthy and there are uncountable health benefits associated with juicing.

 I also make sure that I drink 2-4 litres of water a day! Sometimes this exceeds 4 litres and goes into the 6th mark :O! I know crazy right!!!

I've been called a camel, a river, and some of my friends have even laughed at me in the bathroom when we go out hearing the sound of me peeing "Sounds something familiar to the Niagara falls' .

I just love water!! Its so refreshing and has so many overlooked and undermined health benefits.

• Water can help control calories. Sometimes we think that we are hungry it is actually thirst, I have discovered this multiple times
• Water helps your skin maintain a youthful and fresh look 
• Flushes out toxins
• Drink a glass of water in the mornings you are sure to notice an immediate effect on your bowel movement! 

I recently discovered a product titled Baobab. The name is very unique and I tell you the benefits are even better. Baobab is packed with Vitamin C, it is a rich source of Fibre and it is high in antioxidants. I mix a tablespoon full each morning in water and I drink it  2-3 times daily. 

I have noticed more energy, glowing skin and the maintenance of a great digestive system. I used to purchase it in store from any Holland & Barrett branch however I recently also discovered that I can purchase it straight from here. It doesn't take long at all for you to receive your order and kindly they include a mini brochure that provides an explanation of the particular sample they include within your delivery. 

I think they have very unique packaging across all their products. All of the products stand out visually making it eye catching. The packaging has such a colourful identity to it that it draws your attention to it and makes you want to buy it. Aduna is the brand name and they have many other products which can be viewed with a click of the link I have put in the previous paragraph. Aduna is an African inspired health and beauty brand and social business. I think it is an amazing thing that Aduna are building awareness of Baobab and other under utilised ingredients and bringing to life the vibrancy of Africa across the globe into the daily lives of people everywhere. I am happy to be of African descent and to share in this vibrancy. Best of all Aduna means "life" and Zoe which is my name also means "life". So instantly we share a connection!

I really recommend for you all to try it out! Once you do let me know what you think. Have a browse below of a healthy dish I have recently discovered through trial and error and being lazy about cooking. It's quick, easy and very delicious

Ingredients:

• Sweet potato 
• Mackerel fish 
• A handful of spinach 
• Sweet peppers (Red) Cut up 
• Some Peri Peri sauce sprinkled on top of it.

  

            

New juicing recipe.

Required:

• Sweet potatoes x4 or x5 peeled and rinsed 
• Oranges peeled x3 
• Pink Lady Apples x 3 
• Ginger piece 
• 7 carrots 

Maybe you have some juicing recipes for me or some healthy dishes you feel I may benefit from please feel free to suggest. 

Healthy eating is definitely good for maintaining a good weight and good figure! 

It has been proved as through these pics I have maintained the same look over the years.....

I hope you say a big yes after this post! You can start now :)

Everyone's path is so different and you don't have to follow a specific formula....

Everybody's path is indeed so different and you don't have to follow a specific formula to get where you desire to be however you should certainly find out what is unique about you- Errol Barnett. 

Firstly, I'd like to ask if you guys have heard of the amazing new app called Periscope?

If you haven't heard of periscope this is what it is: Periscope is an app that enables anyone to capture or watch live video broadcasts, which was acquired by Twitter in 2015. The app was founded by Kayvon Beykpour See more here. I would instinctively say that this app is my number one favourite app of all time. I only recently discovered periscope about 5 weeks ago through word of mouth and people talking about it over my Twitter timeline. I decided to take the chance and download it to see what the fuss was all about and I can tell you I have never regretted downloading it. For Iphone users it has been available via the app store for about 2 months and for android users the app has now became available to download since yesterday.

People may be thinking to themselves what's the big deal, it is just another boring app to distract you from getting on with your day. Truth is within the past 3 weeks I have learnt a lot more than I could ever imagine I would do as a result of being able to connect with people in the Journalism industry every morning in the comfort of my own bed before getting on with my daily tasks. 

If you have read my previous blog posts or my introduction on my blog you would see that I have indicated my desire to get into the Journalism industry and I'm currently taking active steps in pursuit of this dream. 

I wake up every morning to the sweet notification which sounds like a birds chirp, notifying me that my favorite anchors are online and are about to broadcast :)

I hurriedly drop everything I may be doing and quickly get connected and then start interacting.  

I now even get shoutouts and recognitions from my favorite CNN anchors Rosemary Church and Errol Barnett. 

This I tell you always brings a smile to my face!  

As an aspiring Journalist wanting to break into the industry, I am quite keen to get as much knowledge as possible about the industry and what it takes to make it.

Maybe you're like me and you're at University plowing your way through the academic year hoping and praying for the semesters to come and go so you can get into the real world and start making money. Or maybe you belong to the category of the opposite and feel very comfortable at Uni enjoying the party life and making numerous friends, trying to blank out the fact that at some point you will be thrown into the deep end and will have to swim. Meaning at some point you and I will be faced with the stage in our lives where we will have to put all that we have learnt over these years being institutionalised to test and try and make it within our chosen career paths. 

Yesterday's periscope session involved another one of my favorite anchors Zain Asher who took it upon herself to stay an extra 15 mins. After throwing hints by typing "please do a career advice session this will be useful" This was adhered to and an hour later a notification popped up on my phone ''Live on #periscope: Before she heads home @ZainAsher wants to offer some career advice. Any Qs? I was so happy, very expectant about what will be revealed.

I would also like to share these tips with you. Even though it seems specific to this particular industry I'm sure you will be able to find at least 3 that could be applied in your life :) 

Here are some of the key tips from Zain and Errol Barnett which I would like to share with you.

1. The TV industry is a very competitive industry.
2. It is imperative that you have something advantageous that puts you ahead of everyone else to offer .
3. Develop your skills. Do you see yourself as a sports reporter, Business reporter or a political reporter? e.t.c.
4. What is your competitive advantage
5. Everyone wants to break into the reputable news stations BBC, ITV, Sky one news, CNN UK.  In the case of America CNN, ABC, CBS. BUT very few people have a skill. 
6. Find your passion and get developed in that 
7. Have you considered grad school? - Grad school is a school that awards advanced academic degrees (i.e. master's and doctoral degrees) with the general requirement that students must have earned a previous undergraduate (bachelor's) degree.
Grad school can open numerous doors as it did for Zain Asher. It provided her with useful contacts as she was able to network with a lot of people. Many of the teachers she had back then at Grad school worked at various TV stations.
Graduating and having an instant network of people is great. GET CONTACTS! MAKE CONTACTS!! You have to develop relationships with people within the industry you want to break into. 
8. It is not as competitive when you have a skill to offer
9. Go for something that very few people can do.
10. Find your niche- Internships are a great way to break into a niche. It will speed up your career a great deal.
11. Don't be afraid to take risks and show versatility
12. It is also useful to prove that you can write news articles. 

Zain told us over periscope that when she applied for her current job at CNN as an anchor CNN could see that she could write articles and so that demonstrated to them her versatility.It therefore gave her an edge over other applicants. 

13. Make sure you develop, develop and develop your skills! Can't emphasise this enough!

Errol Barnett who is also an anchor kindly gave his own advice and recommended that knowing how to code is important. He strongly recommended knowing how to put a website together and being creative technically as technology and the world of social media is continuously expanding. 
Once 'coding’ was only done by software programmers. But as most parts of the world have become integrated with digital technology, the opportunity to exploit the power of code is available to people in almost any career.

From football and engineering to fashion and art, most industries now have a strong digital component. It is expedient that you learn how to code in order for you to get noticed in your chosen industry.

You don't necessarily have to major in Journalism or go to Journalism grad school to be successful but it is helpful and helps to give you a deeper knowledge and understanding. 

I found it very useful and I am really grateful to Zain for doing this career advice session.  

I would like to share with you also some pictures from the periscope sessions that have taken place over the past few days:

Lastly here are some of the news anchors I look up to:

Errol Barnett- Anchor for CNN International based in Atlanta. He anchors during the overnight simulcasts and famous for his news reporting with the award winning 'Inside Africa' cultural affairs programme on CNN.

OOTD Catch up!

Hello everyone :)

It's been about two weeks since we last caught up. Not much has been happening except exam season and study study study! How are you all? And what have you all been up to?

My Uni is different in the sense that we don't get a long vacation like the rest of you will be getting who are currently at Uni. For those wondering which University I'm at its called The University of Buckingham and it's a 2 year degree (accelerated). I'm studying Media with Communications and Journalism.

I haven't shown you my outfits for the past two weeks so I'd like to share it with you all now...

Last week sunday this was what I wore :

Purchased from Asos A little secret :) This outfit has been worn a couple of times. However what I do is I make sure I don't wear it frequently and give gaps so then it will look like a new outfit! Ha I probably won't be able to do that now :( I purchased it last year so can't remember how much and whereabouts it can be found on the Asos website, I'm also unsure as to whether if this outfit can still be found. Shoes- Black heels from Italy (Napoli)

                                                                                             

Outfit Worn on Sunday to church. I have been eyeing this dress for a long while now and I have really wanted it for a while. This dress is from missguided However they only have the Navy colour left =[ Check it out! I randomly decided to tweet this outfit choice to Rocsi Diaz who used to present 106&Park on BET and she replied and said Yaaay to my outfit. I was really happy!

YayyyyyRT @xxZoebillionxx: @rocsidiaz yay or nay rocsi?? pic.twitter.com/Q9jStek7Z1

I've recently really been in love with these kind of outfits too. They are comfortable, easy to wear and they really bring out your figure. I purchased two from Boohoo.com 2 weeks ago! They were doing a deal which I think has stopped. I got two of these for £10! Bargain or what? :) 

The love to the right signifies the love I have for all of you reading this post...

ConfessionTime.....

"You always seem so happy"- It's almost become a resounding bell in your ear right?

In your head you are thinking: "If only you knew those silent battles".......

I get that statement sometimes too! 

The undeniable truth is that we all cry. Lol some more than others. 

There are quite a number of things that could easily set my emotions off... 

Seeing little kids suffering

My Mum being unhappy

Insecurities

Being anxious or worrying about a particular thing

I watch a film or movie and imagine myself in the perilous situation and start crying... My brother usually looks at me and shakes his head thinking "Why are you crying at this?"

I think to myself how are you so strong not to shed a tear?

BUT! - Different things set people off... I am very easily pushed to cry! High voltage of emotions I would classify myself as. 

Confession- I cry a substantial amount .... A bit more than you think or would imagine. 

Some of us are so used to it that its almost become like a pain alleviation method or some sort of pain remedy. "I might aswell shed a few tears to get it all out and sleep it off. Hopefully by the time I wake up the next morning I will feel better". 

Sometimes you wake up feeling better, other times you feel heavy and the whole memory continues on into your day! 

Our pillows don't know what will hit them tonight.... Loud wails for an hour or a quick droplet of a tear. Who knows? 

"It all depends on my neighbour if they are in I'll sob into my pillow so no-one hears". Or if I'm lucky and no-one is in only God knows when I will stop crying..... 

"All I know is that my pillow is gonna get it"! 

It's almost as though your pillow has become your confidante in the midnight hour, the only one who won't judge us as our lips fold all the way down almost hitting our chin. 

If you are unlucky and you are wearing mascara.... Oh no God help the burning sensation you get around your eyes. It is  almost as if it's a punishment or a warning telling you to stop crying. 

The mascara you are wearing will definitely get washed off as bucket loads trickle down from your eyes onto your cheeks.... 

There's no perfect way to cry and you can't practice being "A good crier". I've heard some people say amongst themselves "I look so ugly when I cry" 

Well obviously.... There is no way you can look attractive when you are in that state... 

Personally I can't even bare to look in the mirror afterwards because I don't recognise the image staring right back at me. My pupils have turned red and my eyes have gone smaller, I struggle to get a word out as my throat feels sore and my voice has been exhausted by the continuous sobs. 

The strongest ones physically are the weakest at heart #FACT

Just because a smile is on a person's face doesn't mean their life is perfect. We have this perception that if a person always looks happy and appears confident it means all is well in their lives and they have it easy.

Don't ever feel like crying means you are weak... Whatever the emotion is whether sad or Joyous our bodies cannot contain it and so it incites a flow of tears...

Truth is we are all human and we all cry... You may not have cried recently or don't even like crying... 

Truth is I cried like two days ago! 

P.S If you don't know me or haven't met me before at least this is something that we can both relate to. 

P.s I'm only human and very soft at heart xxx 

<3 

And all these little things.....

Welcome to the month of March everybody. It sounds cliche but time is really flying, it is the 3rd month in the year 2015 already. Before we all know it we will be well over half way through. 

Today's blog will be quite picturesque! I'm going to post some of the things I like, some of my beauty tips, picture of my first Jollof rice attempt LOL!

I'm Nigerian and have never attempted to make Jollof until a few days ago. Now to us in Nigerians Jollof is a big deal. We even argue with Ghanians over who can make the best Jollof rice.

*Cough* *Cough* we can ;)

For those wondering what Jollof rice actually is, it's rice that is prepared with, tomatoes and tomato paste, onions, salt, and hot red pepper. any kind of meat, vegetable or spice can be added.

I decided to make mixed vegetable jollof rice by adding some vegetables into it. Some may think it is weird as usually you don't really add vegetables. However I'm crazy on veg and wanted to add some into it. For you experts that may be reading this please don't judge the appearance of the picture I've posted below lol.... 

I'm not going to lie I did taste a bit too much of  the tomato. Maybe I used the wrong brand? If you guys have any suggestions I'd gladly take it to bear in mind for next time :) 

Now every girl likes make up don't they? I only wear it once a week and this is usually on Sundays for church as I like to look a little bit dolled up :)

Usually when I get back I can't wait to remove all the makeup off of my face and my makeup removal routine usually just involves washing my face with my Aveda face wash. I then usually then steam my skin with my home face spa which I purchased from Argos for £10. 

Today I decided to wipe my face first with some simple wipes then I got into the shower and squeezed some lemon in my hands in conjunction with my face wash and then gave my skin a good thorough cleanse. After this I steamed for 30 minutes.

I then normally like to put on a nice green mask. The green mask that I use believe it or not is wheatgrass powder. Yep it's the wheatgrass that you can actually drink. Its amazing that it can also be used for the face too! 

 I found out quite a while back through experimentation that if you add liquid to the wheatgrass powder it forms a paste and it makes it easy to apply it topically to your skin. 

I found that each time I did this my skin looked glowy and it reduced any spots I had. Now I have started to add some ginger which I juice first so I can get some liquid and I also add some lemon juice. I mix these all together and then apply it straight to my skin. Not going to lie though, it stings for a good 10 minutes. This is because it is killing the bacteria on your skin, If you have some good hours to spare or like me you are doing it on a Sunday afternoon leave it on for as long as possible. After that wash it off with water and then apply your moisturiser. 

I use Aloe vera gel or some organic snail gel by dr.organic which can be purchased via Holland and Barret or even bought in store. Those two are what I use for my skin and It seems to be working for me :)

Hope you enjoy some of my favourite things below :)

My face without Makeup! (Now which one is better? With or without makeup?)

My face with Makeup. I'm no makeup expert but I try my best with what I know how to do LOL

Jollof rice attempt- I was so happy I wanted to snap chat it but ended up saving the picture instead lol! 

Wheatgrass powder and Lemon and Garlic all mixed to make a paste

Aloe vera Gel and cosmetic pads. I usually squeeze out some Aloe on to the pad and then rub it on my face

This is about how much wheatgrass powder I need to cover my face

Pour the wheatgrass into a container

Squeeze some lemon into the Ginger juice

Mix the wheatgrass powder with the Ginger and the squeezed lemon and then mix

Once you have mixed all 3 ingredients together you can apply it to your skin. Remember it stings. If it becomes too unbearable wash it off immediately as this may mean your skin is too sensitive


This is about how much I scoop on my finger to apply on my skin




I thought this was quite a good deal in Waitrose. I bought 3 Alpro Soya's for £3. This is my favorite Milk as I don't drink Cow's Milk. I normally love eating this with Lizzie's granola as my bedtime snack.



My absolute fav cereal of all time. Its £3.88 and can be purchased in Waitrose, and sainsburys and even online. There are many more flavours but I can't seem to get enough, check it out here


I recently started squeezing some lemon into my drinking water. Now I usually carry a 2lr bottle wherever I go. People have taken note of this and usually aren't very surprised when they see a water bottle inside of my bag LOL! I'm so used to it that even when I go to an event where I know there will be food and drinks I still carry my water bottle. I now add juiced cucumber liquid + Lemon into my water making it taste so yummy as sometimes drinking plain water can be so bland. For those who loved flavoured drinks I think you should give it a go. Its very handy to have a juicer as I can make quick juices and add it to my water. 


A cucumber can be purchased from any supermarket it doesn't matter as long as it says cucumber.



This is about how much I cut with my Kitchen knife. I then add it to my Braun Juicer which I purchased from Argos for about £80. This produces some liquid that can be added directly into my water bottle. To purchase the juicer click the link 


The Juiced cucumber in combination with the squeezed lemon is then carefully poured into my water bottle.



This is what it looks like when everything has been poured in. Give it a good shake and then it is ready to drink. I really love drinking it as it is refreshing and very healthy. Cucumber has many health benefits such as helping to maintain good skin and flushing toxins out of your body. Lemon also has a large amount of vitamin C which is needed to protect the body against immunity deficiencies whilst maintaining healthy looking skin.



I recently purchased this product from  Holland and Barret for £19.99. My brother has been using this for a while and recommended it to me as it has all the necessary nutrients contained and its super super beneficial to the body. I have been using this for about two weeks and I must say I feel very energised and my skin looks and feels quite good. Although when I first started using it really made me go to the toilet quite a lot as It was trying to adjust to my system. It is so worth it! You only need about half a spoon and you can mix it in water or like me mix it with your carrot juice. It can be purchased in store or online. Click for more details




Only 60p in Waitrose. I buy about 10 bags to last me for the week as I Juice 2 bags a day as part of my breakfast. Carrot Juice is so yummy! 



This is what the colour looks like when you have added the green blend into the carrot juice. It was so yummy that I almost forgot to take a picture, hence the half glass LOL!




It sounds revolting to put snail Gel on your face but trust me there are benefits. I have used this for some weeks now and it leaves your skin really glowy. After looking at it in store and reading the information provided at the back I decided to give it a go and have been using it. It's doing more good than harm I would say. It costs £19.99 from Holland and Barrett and can be purchased online and in store. The key ingredients are Glycolic Acid, Collagen, Elastin, Allantoin, Vitamins and minerals. It soothes your skin and also has anti aging properties helping to rejuvenate and revive dead skin cells. Try it :)
For more information on how to purchase it online click the link

I'm such a sea food girl... I really love prawns and I plan to add these into my Jollof rice tonight just to spice it up a bit :) I love shopping at Waitrose.. I know its crazy as a student to be shopping in Waitrose but once you have experienced quality and satisfaction you can't really go back can you?

I apologize I can't remember how much I purchased these two packets for but they were about in the region of £2.00 each!

I recently discovered Depop. It is the new and fun app that is available to buy and sell with your friends. You can download it via the app store and then sell some of your fav items through the comfort of your phone. I think this is better than Ebay actually as you list the items for free! Check it out :)

Hope you enjoyed gaining some insight into some of the things I love to do and do on a daily basis!

Speak to you sooner than you think x x x x x
