So my dear friends Ronke and Tiwalola tagged me on Instagram to do the 20 Random Facts About Me meme but I decided to blog about it instead. That way you get to know more about me 🙂

20 Random Facts About Aloted

1. I wore arched wire braces for two years between the ages of 24 and 26. I remember my Orthodontist asking me if I had any plans of getting married during that time as she didn’t want me running back to her to get them off. Luckily I wasn’t even dating at the time. Now I have the close to perfect teeth and can smile confidently 🙂

2. No matter how hot the weather is, I must cover my legs with a blanket when I want to sleep. I always feel if I don’t someone will come and yank off my feet in the middle of the night. Weird I know.

3. I giggle a lot which makes me type either “lol” or “hehehe” when chatting with friends or on Facebook.

4. I am neither a morning nor a night person. I am more of a mid day person but since becoming a mum I have cultivated the habit of waking up early

5. I wear my heart on my sleeve. You can easily tell if I am not impressed. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing

6. I am neither a shoe nor bag person. But hair products and books ahhhh

7. I do not get poetry

8. I am passionate about women empowerment and always excited when I see women breaking beyond barriers and doing amazing things

9. I love to research. If I don’t know the answer to something I will go digging

10. I can’t stand superficial discussions eg discussing the latest designer bag or shoe or what someone wore to a party, or how someone hasn’t changed their hairstyle in weeks. I actually get annoyed with such frivolous conversations. I believe they can dull one’s IQ

11. I am more stimulated by intellectual or empowering discussions

12. My real name is not Aloted. It is my pseudonym in the online world… but you knew that already lol

13. I adore online shopping. I buy everything online including my grocery. I window shop online too. I upload items – shoes and clothes to my shopping cart and then close the page without buying. Haven’t done that in a while though. Too busy with more important things 🙂

14. I am not a naturally nice gentle person, I am more of a straight to the point and no time for nonsense person but God is working on me everyday. People who knew me way back can testify that I am not the girl I was a few years ago.

15. I am a doer. Once I am clear on what I need to do I just do it. This I believe got me to Finalist stage of the Yes I can category of the Inspirational Women Award early this year.

16. I express myself better in writing than speaking. I write out my whole script before a webinar or a talk.

17. I do not like being called “my dear” especially if we do not have a close relationship. I am not your dear…dear

18. I experienced pregnancy rage during both pregnancies but I was better equipped to deal with it the second time around

19. I lost my confidence after my first pregnancy. This led me to write my first ebook on Boosting Your Confidence after I found strategies to get it back.

20. I am a Jesus Freak. I am no way near perfect but thats the beauty of having a relationship with God. He loves me despite me.

Oh! I have to add one more random fact…

21. I am a Super Working Mum. I just had to say that 🙂
