Brunch in the city of Abuja

My beautiful self in the cafe I missed the taste of fluffy pancakes, perfectly made waffles, sweet syrup and scrambled eggs. That was the obvious sign that I needed some brunching done.

I feel the pain and the struggle, that used to be me. If you know me personally, you know I used to be bigger than I am now and it was really annoying. The comments from church and extended family member saying "Bibi, take it easy you will soon burst" or "you are getting fatter and fatter" or "have you tried using slim tea"😑😑. I always mumble under my breathe "thank you I have a mirror at home" or "can you just mind your business", sometimes I just walk away.
