If you've never heard of the word 'Ube' you are missing out on an amazing African delicacy. 'Ube' as we Igbo's call it, is a type of pear fruit found in Africa. It's botanical name is Dacryodes edulis (don't ask for more, i just googled that shit up) and its really delicious especially when had with roasted or my favorite, boiled corn. Yum!

2. The Weather For Two - Give me some sugar sugar Love!

Call me whatever you like but we all know that rainy days provide the perfect ambience for a rom-sess! I am a big fan of cuddling up by the fire (or by candle light) to some good ol' slow jazz and a bottle of my favorite sweet red wine. On the Clear sunny days, The sun at its peak is the right excuse for an impromptu ice-cream date at the nearest coldstone outlet.

And when Mr. Sun gets sleepy; it's the perfect time for a relaxing stroll at the beach with bae stealing kisses and whispering sweet nothings in my ear. #drool

You know that awesome feel, that fresh smell of the world the morning after a good storm? If I could trap that feeling in a bottle and have it with me all day everyday I would. I know you can relate!

Through out the course of the New Month, I will be sharing with you my top picks, tips and must haves to help ease your way through the rainy days ahead. However, Here are a few things I'm looking forward to this June:

I'm in love with Yellow - and I certainly don't mean mtn! 

This might not seem like a big deal to you, but being in my shoes, the girl who was always in yellow house back in primary and secondary schools, it is a big,  big issue. 

We all know Yellow house was always the losing team. I dunno about your school, but in my sweet, sweet alma mata, Alvana, they certainly carried the last position more often than I cared to count during the interhouse sports. It was so bad that I made like Saint Peter and switched to Blue house! It was a ridiculous 

 "Who? Me? Yellow house? Tufiakwa!" situation.  

Coupled with The fact that the normal reaction when you say 'my favourite color is yellow ' was always an 'eeuuwww', it really didn't help matters  at all. It made me feel a bit ashamed of loving that bright and bubbly color. Am sure some of you can relate. 

Nevertheless, here's my confession; I love yellow and here's why.  

1. Yellow is like, the brightest thing there is to the sun. The fact that the sun Is Yellow should tell you something.  

Energy, cupcakes! Ever wondered why blondes have the most fun? Think about it! 

2. Yellow is the best source of positive energy you can find in any color. It's your go to color when you feel down and you need a punch of pizzazz in your life. 

3. Yellow is synonymous to all things fresh, happy, ripe, fun, yummy... Does this Remind you of someone? Yup. Cameron Diaz. There's something about this bright and bubbly star that just screams Yellow!!

4. Yellow is one of those colours that never seem to go out of style. And here's the perk bumpkins, it's got a shade to suit every skin tone. It's such a grand all-rounder.
5. It is pure perfection for summer. Try this hunniebunnie. Picture yourself in some lush remote island in the Caribbeans with beautiful blue beaches, lots of greenery, white Sands, sea breeze, yachts in sight, sipping on some pinacolada, wearing a wide brim hat, in your sexy yellow sundress that keeps floating softly in the wind...
Puts you in the mood for date night at the beach with the stars as your roof, doesn't it? 

6. Yellow = Flirty. What better way to say 'Hi, I'm cute, sexy and unattached' at a wedding or an informal event than to turn up in a shade of playful primrose? 

7. To all those who feel Grey is the only colour that comes in 50 shades, sorry to burst your bubble! My yellow comes in 50 shades +1. In your face, Christian Grey!
