It’s been a while since I did an outfit post! Keeping it short and sweet. Pastel green, smoothie green… maybe even matcha green is my favorite color. Although, I hardly gravitate towards bright colors when I put an outfit together. I guess… It’s never too late to switch things up. 

I'm 30! I am so grateful and filled with so much love. To say I've been here for 3 decades is all thanks to God. I spent the days leading up to my birthday reading my old blog articles, journals and looking at old photos. The nostalgia hit me hard! I really miss documenting what's happening around me and in my life. 

Hence, why I'm writing again and sharing on my blog for the first time in over 2 years. What better way to get back into journaling and blogging than a letter to my future self?

Dear Future Feyi,

First of all, I'm loving the alliteration.... "Future Feyi". You know, we love that. i.e the blog title, social media handle, "Marveling Mind". Okay, let's get serious, well as serious as I can be. Everyone knows I can be a fool (and proud of it 😉). 

30 years has passed. A lot has happened. Good and bad. You have cried tears of joy and sorrow. Every drop has made you stronger and more compassionate. This year has a lot of big moments coming your way. You turned 30, you got a new job, you are celebrating your marriage, and you are planning to move. 

With change coming, you have spent a lot of time reflecting on the past and those that could not be here to celebrate your present and future wins. I miss you, Dad. I hope, Auzoyah and I are making you proud. I pray you have a front row seat to see the woman I'm becoming, and Grandma is sitting
right next to you. 

Future Feyi, please keep smiling and laughing. Don't ever take life too serious. The humor you got from your Dad and the grace you got from your Mum is what has carried you this far and will continue to push you forward. 

Love,
Feyi

Well, well, well... it's been a while since I've been on here. While I've been away, a lot has happened, and mostly good things. I wish I could go into detail, alas... I'll save that for a different post. Sorry!

Today, I'm sharing a quick round-up of the series, movies, podcasts... and much more that I've been loving. Of course, this is a VERY SMALL selection of all the media I partake in. These picks are things I have consumed more than once or find myself unreasonably excited about. 

Enjoy! 

Book - A Court of Thorns & Roses 

I've always been into fiction but never thought I'd be reading a book about pointy-eared magical people. But here we are. *shrug* I'm currently on the second book in the series, and I highly recommend it. I would say the first book is like Beauty and the Beast for adults. Not the best description but enough to give you an idea, I hope.

Movies - Anastasia // Love At First Sight

Series - One Piece // Jujutsu Kaisen // Foundation

I entered 2022, a homeowner and I am still adjusting to this change. Before I got here... there were a few steps I had to take. In this video, I explain the process I went through to buy my home. I hope the information in the video is helpful if you are planning to buy a home now or in the future. 

Caring about my sleep and everything that contributes to a good night's rest has become a top priority for me. Maybe, it's because I am a new homeowner, and every home item I buy, I plan to use for many years. I have spent an unreasonable amount of time looking for great quality in my bedding, pillows, and mattress. I never thought I would be the kind of person to do extensive research on the kind of mattress I need but here we are. 

When I heard about King & Queen Mattress Co., I knew I had to reach out. They are an Atlanta-based company that ships nationwide. Being an Atlanta resident, I love showcasing local businesses and King & Queen Mattress Co. are a company worth recognizing.

I got The Windsor, which is their hand-tufted luxury mattress. Made with CertiPUR-US® Certified foams. All King & Queen Mattress Co.'s mattresses are chemical-free and eco-friendly. Their attention to detail is immaculate. I received constant updates on my mattress after the order had been placed. I was advised on the kind of mattress based on my height, weight, and sleeping habits. 

The delivery process was truly my highlight because I live in a townhome with way too many stairs and having their team deliver with the option to set up the mattress was amazing. I am looking forward to many cozy nights (and lazy days) in my new mattress!
