Based on request, i decided today to share my lazy sunday turns not so lazy day with you as i also tell you more about me. For those who requested I blog more about me I hope this makes sense.
I like to call my Sundays lazy because I always thought Sundays should be for lazying around. Like spending the whole day laying down in your pyjamas, watching a lot of tv or staying glued to your phone and yelling at the kids as they make a mess throughout the house e.t.c.

I have an interesting persona, I am very feminine but I can be a Little bit tomboyish sometimes. I also wear and executive personality, i may also look very intimidating but when you get to know me, I am the friendliest human being ever!. I don't really wear make ups, I don't even own an eyeliner or a lipstick. I just don't have the believe that painting my face can make me more beautiful. I dont want to wear any mask. I like to feel free in my own skin and comfortable at all times. I make cloths, so my clothing are always simple because i like to feel free and at peace. You don't have to suffer to look beautiful. No offence to those of you who love make up, this is just my opinion.

for some reason I find myself doing more of cooking on lazy Sundays than I do any other day.
I may still be hanging around the house in my pyjamas on lazy sundays, (which by the way I look fab even in my pyjamas lolz, am just saying *winks*) holding on to my phone, but I still do get busy in the kitchen. I usually wake up not so early on weekends. We all know no body does, (you know how we all like to snuggle in with Bae, *winks*).
My kids and hubby love smoothies so I make sure I make them some almost every morning. Oatmeal is mine and hubby's favourite cereal especially with almond nuts sprinkle. Yum! This happens to be my first assignment every lazy sunday mornings.

Growing up I watched my mum do a lot of cooking. My mum is like a kitchen freak, she is always in the kitchen cooking, she feels at peace when in her kitchen its like her little sanctuary. Being half Algerian and half Mauritanian, my mum makes all this mouth watering Arabian dishes you would literally want to live in my house if you were a guest visiting. I remember how people use to troop in and out my house for my mum's food.
Even though I have kitchen phobia and I am not that passionate about cooking, I still do find myself in the kitchen not too often thou, but I sure do cook great dishes because there is still a little bit of my mum in me. I am slowly becoming a gourmet. Lolz! My hubby proudly displays his lunch in the office and invites colleagues for a taste. I mean How cute is he? Lolz!

Growing up I was taught only how to be good all my life, and I have always been a good girl. As I grew older especially when i turned the dirty 30, I realised being good all my life is no fun so I guess being a little bit of a bad assy sometimes should hurt no one. Lol! (just joking)
I am not a writer I am more of a talker. I am passionate about speaking, especially to a large group. I think I got that from my dad, as a politician (retired now) this is what he did throughout his career. I recently started motivational speaking and am already loving it. I dont write for the sake of writing, I write from my outline.
