  • Hot Topic: Would You Marry A 30-Year-Old Man Who Lives With His Mother?

    Hey lovelies,

    A young, unmarried friend of mine approached me with this question some days ago and I wanted to share it here to know what you think.

    Here is the scenario: The lady is in her mid 20’s and ready to settle down. The man is 30, met her at a work-related event and they clicked immediately. They’ve been dating for almost a year, met each other’s friends and are getting ready to take it to the next level by meeting each other’s parents. His father is late and he is an only child, hence, his closeness to his mother. His mother also has some health challenges and he’s been taking care of her since he lost his father 5 years ago. It’s never been an option to leave his mother and he never thought about it until she raised some concerns. According to him, his mother will live with them if they get married and he’s not going to change his mind.

    What would you do if you were in this situation? Would you go on with the relationship and eventually marry him, knowing you would be living with your husband and mother-in-law? What would you advise this lady to do?

    I’ll love to know what you think. Please share your comments below.

  • Could You Eat Just One Food For A Whole Week?

    When it comes to my diet, I like variety! I get bored easily when I eat the same food for a couple of days and like to cook different meals as often as I can. Asides from the numerous health benefits one gets from eating a balanced diet made up of all the necessary nutrients – vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein, and fat-food is more enjoyable when there is a variety to choose from.

    However, some people can just eat the same food over and over for a long period of time. Take kids for instance, when they love one food, they want to eat it every day! But sometimes adults do exactly the same thing. Do you fall into this category?

    Is there a single food that you can survive on for one week? Do you sometimes find yourself repeatedly eating the same food over and over again – hint: rice and chicken *wink*? Could you eat just one food for a whole week, and if yes, what would that food be?

    Let me know below in the comments section. I look forward to reading them!

  • “We forgot this beautiful thing we had” – Couple Talks About Their Marital Journey On MMF

    There are lots of issues that can take its toll on a marriage no matter how long it’s been. Both newly weds and couples who have been married for several years face their own fair share of challenges, and many times, we help each other out by sharing and listening.

    This is what we aim to achieve on the ‘Talk To Steph’ segment of Make Me Fabulous show. On each episode of the show, we have a no-holds-barred discussion about the marital journey of our guest couple and the challenges they’ve been facing in their marriage. Trust me when I say this helps a lot!

    I’m so grateful to all the couples who have bared their hearts out to us on the show and I hope their fabulous experience would strengthen their marriage and help them surmount some of these challenges.

  • What is the worst thing a friend has ever done to you?

    Good friends are precious gems. They are priceless, valuable and difficult to part with.

    But sometimes, we see the other side of friendship and what should have been a good thing becomes a thorn in our flesh.

    I’m sure many of us have had such experiences with people who were once very close to us. So let’s recount them today and learn from each other.  What is the worst thing a friend has ever done to you? Were you able to forgive this friend of yours?

    Let’s share…

  • Stephanie’s Poll: Language vs Music

    Hey Lovelies,

    I was listening to the radio yesterday when I heard this interesting question which I’d like us to discuss today.

    If God offered you super powers to do just one of these two, what would it be:

    Speak every language in the world or Play every musical instrument in the world?

    It’s a tough one for me because both are very relevant.

    Language helps you connect with people in different societies across the world. Language can literally break barriers and help you achieve more with your social connections. Music is also very refreshing for the soul. For instance, I love love listening to Jazz music, especially the instrumentals. It relaxes me and makes me smile. I also have it on sometimes when I’m working and it keeps me alert and helps my creativity.

    So for me, I think I’d go with the musical instruments.

    How about you? What’s your choice?

  • Do You Believe In Zodiac Signs?

    Virgo, Cancer, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius, Gemini, Leo….

    Nearly everyone has heard of the signs of the zodiac, mostly through “sun-sign astrology” columns, where the signs are taken as major determinants of the personality. These signs are generally linked to the date a person was born. Each sign has different personality traits which proponents claim are found in people who have that Zodiac sign.

    It is not unusual for you to find your Zodiac sign and see more than two or three traits which describe your personality. For this reason, many tend to believe it completely. Daily horoscopes on the other hand is another thing entirely. They predict the event(s) that people with particular zodiac signs will encounter daily.

    Some years back, I used to have a colleague who never missed reading the daily horoscopes in newspapers. Whenever he felt funny or something was happening to him, he would explain that his horoscope had predicted it. When things went well, he would say he knew it was going to happen that way because his horoscope said so.

    I’ve never understood this concept properly so I can’t even call myself a believer. What about you?

    Do you believe that Zodiac signs can truly define who a person is? What is your Zodiac sign? Do you know the personality traits of your Zodiac sign and do they apply to you?

    Let’s discuss!
