#teeteemoviereview 3: CHEF

If you a food lover like I am, then you need to watch the movie Chef.

It's a very interesting
movie that borders around food, taking a step towards your dreams, standing up for what you believe in, the challenges of achieving your dreams, and sweet success.

The movie has an interesting cast consisting of amiable Sofia Vergara, Robert Downey Jr. (One of my favorite actors) Oliver Platt, Scarlett Johansson, Dustin Hoffman and Jon Favreau ( who wrote, directed and co-produced the movie. He is also the main character)


Favreau is a professional chef who works in a restaurant. He had an altercation with a food critic, the consequence beign that he had to quit his job, leave LA and return to his home town Miami.(I just love Miami....one of the places I want to visit).

This chef hit rock bottom, he had to swallow his pride by receiving favour from his ex-wife and her ex-husband (confusing abi....)But the good part is, he started again. This time, doing what he loves doing....He started a food truck, and oh my....the meals cooked in the truck will make you salivate.

Now, he didn't just start all over again alone, he had help and support from His ex-wife (Sofia), his son(the social media guru) and his friend Martin. The movie emphasizes on the impact of social media on business.

What I Love about the movie.

The Storyline: very realistic, touching and heartfelt. I mean it could happen to anybody. Its a story a lot of people can relate to

The Food: There's no way I wouldn't love the food. Those who know me, know I like good food.

The Location: The movie had scenes in LA, Miami, New Orleans and Austin Texas...nice places you would agree

The Father-Son Bond: In my opinion, his boy portrayed a well behaved, focused, disciplined son. Am not sure if there are a lot of boys his age who would be ready to take up responsibility. The boy motivated me. Also, it taught me family is familiar. As parents we must work hard to bond with our kids and vice versa.

On a final note...this movie is a comedy drama, so you'll really need to listen to the conversation very well to get a better understanding.

Mind you, please don't watch this movie on an empty stomach ...hehehehehehe

STRENGTH + COURAGE

Hello dearies,


Have you ever heard the phrase "Only the strong survive"?

Am sure most of us have heard it, and thought to ourselves its cliche, but until you face a challenge that rattles you and breaks you to pieces, would you realize how true it is.

I presently have a challenge and am trying to find strength and courage to move on or should i say am searching within myself for strength and courage to rebuild. Yeah....

Life throws us challenges that in our wildest imagination, we never thought we would encounter, but then at that junction when you feel all hope is lost...you need to find courage to go on.

As a woman, mother, wife and career person..i have realized that only inner strength can pull me through the challenges am facing. I have decided not to think of what other people will say, or what people will think...or their perceptions..No...i aint thinking about that.

2 weeks Friday from now, i had an experience that almost broke me..i mean...i cried again.(Y'all remember am still healing from my mum's death). This incidence opened up wounds....i was tempted to ask 'Why me'? In this new year?

But you know what i decided to do, i refused to call a pity party. I did not even tell my friends what happened.  I refused to let the devil weigh me down with thoughts of sadness and despair.i I wouldn't say i wasn't afraid, but i refused to remain in that state of fear and discouragement. I wouldn't say i don't have my down times, but i refused to remain in my down times.

So, in the midst of all these i decided to seek strength and courage from the place i know best..God.
And you know what, it worked... I buried myself in meditation and prayer..and i can say i am finding my strength to rebuild my life.

Am writing this to encourage someone out there...even when all hope is lost and it seems like your world is crashing....Be strong." Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning" (Psalm 30: 5).

But. lets analyse it..when you have a challenge..i mean a serious challenge that rocks your boat, what should you do?

Do you cry and wallow in self pity asking why me? or do you cry and ask yourself why did it happen? what lessons can be learnt from it? how can you turn the challenge into a testimony?

I believe no individual who is a success today, had a challenge-less life.

I mean lets look at Oprah Winfrey....She always shares her story of how she was abused as a child..yet she is successful.

Lets look at Pastor Joyce Meyer..she also had her challenges..but she is a great woman of God now.

Coming closer home, Patoranking the music artist used to sell rat poison in traffic.

I mean, how can life be spicy if there are no challenges..hehehehheee.

You see, while going through these stuffs that happened to me (and am still in it), i said to myself
"Tee, you always pray for testimonies..how do you expect to give testimonies if there are no challenges?". How true, we often pray for Abraham's blessings, but can we truly bear the test Abraham had to bear?

Point is, in the midst of our challenges, we require strength and courage.
Strength to move on, and courage to take new steps and do things differently.

So dearies, if you've had a back-breaking challenge recently, i would like to hear from you.

One Love!!!

#FashionKnowledge 01: Know your shoes

Hello luvlies,

Some people call themselves Shoe junkies...i wouldn't say i am..but i would say i love Shoes. I love shoes, admire shoes, look at shoes, wish for shoes etc..lol.. I believe your shoes say a lot about you.

Unfortunately, as much as i love shoes, i realized i fairly knew the names of the numerous designs on the market. So as part of my resolution to do new things, i decided to improve my fashion vocabulary, and whilst doing that i found this chart on shoes. I hope it will enlighten some one out there

So the next time you want to describe your shoes to your friends; you know the right names to use. (Please clap for me)

For ladies who like to wear formal shoes, here's another chart with the names of different styles

Lets improve our fashion vocab this year..shall we?

Thanks for dropping by... One Love!!!
