Bejewelled Bud

Bringing high fashion to the mid-west.

Bejewelled Bud

Anjola Fagbemi, 18 years old, from Lagos, Nigeria, is in her second year of college at Wichita State University. I talked with her about her blog called Bejewelled Bud, a fashion blog she rus by herself, along with a YouTube channel, Instagram, and Snapchat. Fashion and makeup have always been a part of her life, but she didn't think to make it into a business model until she was about 15.

During what she called "A Levels," a type of post-high school/pre-college program, she was thinking of what she wanted to do with her life. During the summer of 2014, she went on vacation to England, that summer her model skyrocketed. In a few short months she had started her blog and her YouTube channel. She made her first post and said "it felt good to finally be putting myself out there." From there, she came to Kansas and started to branch out, bringing new brands and styles to the forefront of Mid-Western minds.

All her life she has been designing and styling clothes. After her medical degree is complete, she says she could see herself in Paris being a stylist or having her own fashion line. We also talked about her fans and the competitiveness that comes from being one of many fashion gurus on the Internet. She and I both are very thankful for the inclusive community of YouTube, which makes being just another fashion guru a lot more fun than it sounds. Instead of competing to see who's better, people with different styles are encouraged to collaborate and learn from each other rather than tearing each other down (in most cases). Anjola made a comment about people like her by stating, "you can't compare someone's end to your middle or beginning." This carries such a heavy weight with her fans or "buds." She would love to see that she inspired someone to do what she does because it makes her happy. She also loves growing her with fans as a person and fashionista.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
