2015!
Hey Guys!
Its 2015.
I’m so sorry, I know 2014 was such an uneventful year for my blog. And that is completely my fault. I was focusing more on my Youtube (Link Here) , but I know Blogging was my first love. So I will be doing more posts this year by the grace of God.
I’ve been making more outfits, so the Glory Series will definitely continue this year.
I really want to get back into this being a fashion blog. So thankfully since my sisters are here, I’ll be able to have a “photographer.” š
Expect more makeup tutorials for the makeup lovers as well.
I am planning on working on my website layout. So be expecting that as well sometime this year.
Thank You all so much for your support and everything.
I love you all very much!
God Bless!

Where are Friendships Going These Days
Something has been on my mind for a few days and I’m very sure by the title you may already know what it is. Where are our friendships going these days? We claim to be friends to our faces, but anyone else would think we were the worst of enemies. But anyways before I jump the gun. Let’s start with the basics
What is a Friend?
- If you were to take your definition from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it says Ā “a friend is one attached to another by affectionĀ or esteem or a favored companion”.
- In my own point of view
a friend is someone who you can confide in, you find comfort in them and their presence.
What is Friendship?
- The dictionary has a very boring meaning, so I’m just gonnaĀ to skip that.
- From me, a friendship is a mutual relationship between two or more parties (people), looking out for one another, caring for each other, having each other’s backs.
So, now you’re probably thinking, where is TomiĀ going with all of this?
Well, people have forgotten the meaning of being a friend and the essence of friendship, and that’s just it, plain and simple. People have let status, material wealth and(in its own way) social media get in the way of friendships.
One of the major things I don’t understand is, let’s say you have a friend, right? Are we on the same page? You have a friend (preferably a close one). And your friend happens to do something or behave in a certain way that irks you. Let’s say he/she….. Okay I can’t think of anything right now, but let’s assume it’s really bad. You’re very upset. The right thing to do would be toĀ confront your friend and talk to them about what hurt you and how it hurt you and resolve issues as the mature and humble human beings that you are, but instead you go on twitter and tweet something like “Humans can’t be trusted” “They’ll claim to be your friend but then you see what they’re doing behind you” “Don’t lie to me” “Friends don’t do that to each other” “These hoes ain’t loyal”Ā . And you go on this subbing spree, knowing fully well how angry you are at your termed “friend”, but when you happen to see this friend again, you’re all bubbly like nothing happened. You talk about the subs, and lie that it’s another person you’re talking about., and then you go back on twitter and you’re like “Learning not to trust people these days” and on top of that you’re saying horrible things behind his/her back. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING??
Or let’s say you plot something evil and wicked against your, once again, termed “friend” to hurt them emotionally to a point of possibly no return, and you call yourself a “Friend?” And you think people want to be your “friend” after that knowing the kind of person you are? WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING??
We use the term “friend” so casually these days that we are forgetting what being a “friend” actually means.
Which leads me to ask, Where are friendships going these days? We find out that people are friends for material purposes, status, some are even there to pull you down and other stupid things. We need to reevaluate ourselves. Why are we really friends with some people?
So answer me this.
Where is your friendship going today?
Lots of Love.
Tomi

The Glory Series : Green Glory
Hey Guys! Welcome back to my blog BeautifulEntity.com
I’m starting a new segment in my blog called The Glory Series that should run from now to the end of the year. And basicallyĀ the posts will be centered around pieces of clothing that I’ve actually made myself. Today’s Post is centered around a Green Ankara Skirt that I made.
Introducing
THE GLORY SERIES: GREEN GLORY
Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year Ya’ll. (I shouldn’t really be saying this since its like the middle of February already….)
Boy have I been exceptionally lazy about my blog, and I apologize.
I already had my plans set up for this year, and some things happened that just put me off track, so I’m trying to get back on track and by the grace of God, things will take their course in time.
I do have a lot of things in store for this year, I do want to do more blogging on fashion and things like that. And I started a youtube channel (YAYY!!!) Ā about 4 or 5 months ago, which is mostly going to be about hair, but I want to be a lot more serious about that, so if you’re interested in that, I will put information on that later in the year. I really want to get a new camera, but in the meantime I will be using my iPhone front camera to film, which is actually great, if you have good lighting.
Once I get settled after midterms and everything, and I’m able to get a camera, I will be back to blogging, and hopefully I will be posting every week if I can.
Thank you so much for your support Beautifuls!
Thank you, and God Bless You!

Hey Beautifuls! It’s been a minute. Today’s post is an OOTD with my friend. We were at my Aunt’s (not really an aunt, but if you’re Nigerian, you understand) Introduction Ceremony. It’s a Yoruba tradition where a couple has been engaged to be married and they have this big ceremony introducing their fiance to both sides of the family basically. It’s just like a mini Traditional wedding.
Enjoy.

The Sophomore Diaries: When We Feel Alone
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,Ā I will fear no evil;Ā For YouĀ areĀ with me;Ā Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Ā Ā Ā Psalm 23:4
October 17, 2013
I haven’t posted in over a month. Besides me being lazy, Ive had a boatload of schoolwork and tests, and work. Everything has just been jumbled up. I finally have a free day, not completely free, but free enough for me to sit down and blog in my Discrete Structures class and still understand most of what my professor is saying. š
So what’s been happening in my life you ask? Well nothing really. I’ve been BORED!! Schoolwork killed my social life (not like I had one before….). And I’ve gotten fat. I can’t fit into my clothes from summer š¦ … Okay not fat, but I’ve gotten bigger. So I told myself I’m gonna start working out. I told myself that last week Monday… Today is Thursday and I haven’t made it to the gym yet lol. I need motivation! I was supposed to go with my friend, but then he chickened out on me. And plus I still have to buy my gear, and to be quite honest, your girl is broke! So much for my saving up. (See me making excuses for my own laziness. God help me)
This past weekend was my church’s 1st year anniversary. It was a wonderful time for my church full of joy and celebration and….. FOOD (And it was good too). I just thank God for keeping us and all of our members through this first year of our church’s existence. And I thank God because there are an infinite number of years full of blessings, testimonies and miracles to come for us. (Say Amen and claim it for yourself too.)
Your probably wondering why the title of my post is “When We Feel Alone” and simply put, that’s what it means. Lemme just write down what I’m feeling right now. Uhh, to put emotions into words is not always easy. Sometimes I feel by myself. I feel like where has everyone gone? Why is it just me? Sometimes I feel so left out and everything. The smile on my face hides everything. Ugh I don’t even know what to say or how to say it… But your girl is unhappy.
So that’s why I’ve put that particular bible verse at the top. Even when WE feel we have no one, God is with us. He will definitely take care of us and everything that concerns us. All we have to do is just trust him.
Even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we shall fear no evil. For God is with us. His rod and his staff, they comfort us.
Have a blessed week Beautifuls.
God Bless You

The Sophomore Diaries: Random Week 1
“Open rebuke is better than hidden love. Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy.” Proverbs 27:5-6
September 13, 2013.
How are ya’ll doing this week Beautifuls? I am ever so sorry for the late post!! I had homework due by 11:59 pm last night, and I was on that throughout yesterday! Today is Friday the 13th! Talking about bad luck! It almost hit me this morning, but my God said no. Today is the day they collect trash in my neighborhood, and I accidentally threw my keys in the big trash can outside my house. If I didn’t need to go to school, thats how the dump truck would have taken my keys oh!!
I am so tired right now! I’ve been waking up at 5 am almost every day just to get ready for work. And I usually don’t go home until late, because I’m studying or going for tutoring or stuff like that. I feel bad that I don’t live on campus because I’d have more time for everything to be honest. I wouldn’t have to worry about driving or parking spaces so that would cut off like1 hour and 30 minutes from my 3 hour preparation and I’d have an ample amount of time to sleep. And the library is open 24/5 so I’d be able to read overnight in the library or something. But in my house my bed is right next to my desk, and as soon as I open my book, I’m gone, off to bed I go especially with my hectic schedule. If I lived on campus, my parents wouldn’t have to be calling me wondering where I am and asking me to come home that it’s too late. And I wouldn’t have to be driving almost 35 minutes with the top-down on my car so I won’t fall asleep while driving, especially at night just to get home. Like do you catch my drift? Do you see my struggle? I’ve been kinda scared to talk to my parents about it, especially my dad, but since he’s the only one at home at the moment, I finally got up the courage to let him know a little of how I was feeling. All I said was ” Daddy, I think you should really consider me living on campus next year, especially now that my subjects are getting harder, I can’t be doing this everyday.” And he said we would talk about it when my mom mom comes back, so everybody keep your fingers crossed for me lol. I’m actually gonna calculate the price of gas compared to the cost of living over the course of 3 months and use it as a point.
As for my job, I think it’s actually worth it. I really want to do this study-abroad program, so I’m praying the Lord will provide money for my family, so I can go. It would be a wonderful opportunity and great exposure, and plus it would look good on a resume :). I wanted to do the fashion opportunity, but it was almost $17,000 for an 11 week semester in Paris. I jejely (carefully) helped myself to turn the page lol. There is no way my parents will pay $16K for a semester of fashion in another country. (And all of that doesn’t include housing, transportation, plane ticket, books or food.)
For a quick second I wanna talk about Miley. I’m not hating or anything but her new song “Wrecking Ball” I LOVE IT, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the song. But I HATE HATE HATE the video. The beginning was nice, and cute, where she was all crying and looking all innocent (Sorry but that part was so Adele. At first I thought Adele was actually singing) and then next thing you know, she’s riding naked on a wrecking ball. Please can somebody tell me what that has to do with the song? Does everything have to be sexual with this girl? Like I was really feeling the song and all but then.. Ugh! š¦ Scratch the video. And so she explained it, that’s her own business. SO she was licking the hammer because she secretly likes the pain. That is quite interesting. But hey, to each their own.
I’m gonna start being that friend that gives wounds like stated in the bible verse above. I’m not kissing up to anyone again. If you do something wrong, I will tell you, if you offend me I will tell you straight up. To be honest I’ve been a little too nice. I wanna be the friend that if you want the absolute truth you can come to in confidence. And I want the same from you too. If I offend you tell me straight up, if I do something wrong don’t let it slide, it may hurt a little bit, but I can handle it. Now I don’t mean do it all the time, and I don’t mean be really mean about it. But be a friend and I’ll be one too. See if we do this all the time, we’d rarely have beef because we are all telling each other what we’ve done wrong. The world would be a better place yo. I refuse to be the enemy that tells you lies.
Well all in all, this week was pretty chilled. Pretty boring to be honest. Uh, I did my hair, shopped a little. Went for physics tutoring that helped a quite Ā a lot. Ā Nothing interesting. I’m really sorry this post is boring. š¦
I actually had a little more to write, but I guess its not for this post. Its more of a little background on why I created this blog. But that’s gonna have to be when I have more time, or else this post would be super long.
Till next week Beautifuls!

The Sophomore Diaries: Why Me?
“Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
Hey Beautifuls!!! How are yaāll so far this week? Well Iām great, (Thanks for asking). Welcome back to this weekās diary entry in the Sophomore Diaries. This past week wasnāt so boring actually. But letās get into it.
WHY ME? September 5, 2013.
(Okay so maybe the picture is a little too cheesy….)
Oh my, the funniest and probably the worst day ever for me this week was on Tuesday September 3rd. Okay so I finally got the job!!! (There was supposed to be a post about that a long time ago, but I kinda forgotā¦ā¦) So I was to start work on that day right? I was extremely tired the night before so I just set my alarm for 5am because I have to be at work at 8 and I have a lot of stuff to do every morning before I leave for school because my mom isnāt around. So I tried to figure out what to do to my hair, but it didnāt work out so I just went to sleep, I didnāt plan what I was going to wear or anything and a female just went to bed. AND THEN THE UNBELIEVABLE OCCURRED!!!!
I woke up wondering why my alarm wasnāt ringing. I looked at the clock and it was 7:30am. 7:30AM!!! I ran out of my room and asked my dad was it really 7:30, that maybe my clock had stopped or something. But nope, it was actually 7:30am. My dad saw me panicking and was wondering what was wrong, thatās when I told him that that was my first day of work and I was already late. He was so surprised I hadnāt told him. But at 7:35 I rushed to brush my teeth lol, put on deodorant and found myself color rioting to school (mind you, I did not take a shower, I had to sacrifice that to not be horribly late on the first day.) Within 5 minutes of waking up, I was in the car and on my way. I was speeding like mad. It was like The Transporter. You should have actually seen my driving skills. I was crying all the way to school asking God why he hadnāt let me wake up earlier. I was crying mainly because I had already planned out that morning. And when things donāt go according to how I planned, I tend to not be completely happy. But I was really trying a make a good first impression on my first day. My mom just happened to call me, and I was bawling all over the phone and she just told me to give my supervisor a call, and tell her I got caught in traffic (which I didā¦ā¦ it happened to be really minor, but it was true soā¦) Ā Finally I got to school at 8:10 AM. I spent about 15 minutes looking for a parking space before I decided to go park in the visitor lot and run to my office. Now I did that at my own risk, kuz if they find out Iām a student. They would fine me.
And then I went to work. Let me not begin to talk about how horrible my hair looked. Eyes red and everything, I arrived at 8:30am. But fortunately I smelled good. Looool.
Fortunately the rest of my day went well. Made a new friend. Quiet young chap. He tried to help me with my homework. But that didnāt work out. But he told me about his professor for one of our classes, and I switched over to his class, and he was telling the truth. The professor is Italian and he explains things so well, Iām so happy, I got the last seat in his class.
Guess what happened guys! When I turned on my alarm for the next day, I realized that I had set my alarm for 5PM not AM, I just laughed at myself. It was too funny. Gosh! I’m never gonna make that mistake again.
On Saturday I had this wonderful conversation with a bank manager. It was focused on āWhich came first, The plant or the seedā. I chose the plant, and he chose the seed. And we were talking about it for well over an hour, he even brought out the bible to make sure and I was right. After a while we were just talking about God, church and other things Christian. At the end, he told me to come back again if I have any challenging question and that this was one of the most interesting conversations heās ever had while working at that bank. God bless his dear soul.
This past week, Iāve just been hauling everywhere (getting a lot of stuff). I think I shopped everyday. Last Friday, my best friend and I went thrifting which was so much fun. We got a lot of stuff, I bout like 10 things for about $23. I think my favorite item was these high waist straight leg pants, just beautiful. Maybe when I go on a big enough haul, Iāll blog about it, and put pictures. Iāve been shopping all over the place. I bought the cutest blazer at Dillards the other day! Its a black kind of circus conductor blazer, but it’s too cute. Everything in the store was half off on Labor Day, and it was the last one. And mind you, I go where I can get good deals. Unless its shoes, you can never see me buying a pair of jeans for $50….. or a dress.. I just aint got that kinda money yet. But the Lord will prosper me. Ā And you too. Amen!!
Sorry this post was really rushed. I am so busy and stressed this week, balancing work and school and all, God will help me get it together in Jesus name. I’m about to go for tutoring too. Physics doesn’t seem to wanna be my friend this afternoon.
Thanks for reading!!!
Come back next week!!
Love you Beautifuls,
