 Hi guysss, been a minute. I don’t want to go on about how I have been occupied and why it took me this long to put up a new post, let’s just put it on adulting. But hey you guys know I share any new juicy stuff I find out or get and that’s on 100% lol. I got this Lavender Essential oil last week...the story behind the purchase is so funny.

    I stopped by an organic store to get something and to my surprise they were sold out on it, I took my L and was about leaving when I spotted a shelf with this essential oil, I have always wanted to get an essential oil...so it was a mixed feeling for me (I was holding a bottle of the oil already) at that point because I did not come out to get an essential oil that day, so I dropped it and was about leaving when the guy in the store was like “madam those oils are on sales, get them for half the price” omg 😮 ... you know the thing with sales, it triggers impromptu buying lol 😂. Yes, you guessed right, I bought the oil immediately and it’s has been a sweet experience using it. 



 How do I use my lavender Essential Oil.

    I apply directly to my face using my palms (Washed), I just carefully apply the oil to my skin and inhale the soothing scent too. You can also mix yours in your lotion or cream if you don’t want to apply directly to your skin. 

Benefits of Lavender Essential Oil

1)  HEALING

      Lavender is naturally antiseptic which makes it friendly on broken skin, but not only does it clean, it’s been shown to actually speed up the healing of wounds and scars. It also has the potential to reduce pain too- all round healing power. 

2) ACNE and ANTI- AGEING

       Lavender is antiseptic, which means it’s great at battling acne-causing bacteria (and proven effective). Yes it’s an oil on your skin, but lavender is non- comedogenic so it won’t clog pores and make probelm areas worse. If acne is a concern, try a face oil with lavender in it for a natural alternative to harsh chemicals. 

3) ANTI INFLAMMATION 

        Having effective protection against inflammation is one of the best ways our bodies stay healthy and able to heal from stresses fast. 

4) SKIN LIGHTENING 

      Lavender Oil can aid in skin Lightening since it reduces inflammation. It can reduce discoloration, including dark spots. Lavender  oil helps lessen blotchiness and redness. If you have hyperpigmentation on your skin, lavender oil may be able to help with that as well.

5) FACE WRINKLES 

       Free radicals are partly responsible for fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Lavender oil is full of antioxidants, which helps protect you from the free radicals. To use lavender oil for wrinkles, use  a few drops of the essential  oil along with coconut oil. The mixture can be used as a moisturizer once or twice a day.

6) HAIR GROWTH 

      Lavender oil stimulates hair growth. This was known in a study done 2016 which found that lavender  oil applied to mice made them grow more hair. Their hair grew thicker and faster than normal. 

7) ANTI MICROBIAL 

     Lavender  oil also has antimicrobial  properties...this means it helps prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi.  When applied to hair /scalp, this may prevent common hair or scalp issues. It may prevent itchy scalp, dandruff and even infections.

8) KILLS/PREVENTS HAIR LICE.

      Lavender  oil could help prevent head lice. It may even kill the Head lice.Using lavender oil could possibly reduce the risk of getting lice. Using tea tree oil with it could be even more successful. 

9) CALMING EFFECT and DIVINE FRAGRANCE 

      An extra benefit, lavender  has a wonderful smell. Its aroma can literally calm down your nervous system. In a study carried out humans subjects experience more relaxation, pressure, and better moods after inhaling its fragrance 

These are few of the benefits of getting your own lavender essential oil and you need one of it in your skincare/Hair growth care. Feel free to share and tell your loved ones about this essential oil that's a must have!!!.

 I’m sure the title of this post caught your attention in a way lol...yes, Illuminate sis!!! I want to share my review on my Iconic London Illuminator, I really miss the days I used to do make up jobs full time...it was always fun. I got this illuminator by chance..it was not planned at all. I went in to shop for make up and the lady showed me and advertised it to me and I was wowed, I got it and It has been a good buy.



What I like about my London Iconic Illuminator 

1) It is very mild : You know there are some kinda make up stuffs that you use and your make up seems heavy, this Illuminator is not like that...it’s really mild and soft, you won’t feel like you got nothing on your skin. 

2) It blends easily with my foundation: Yes, I just take little and add it to my foundation and I’m good to go. It blends so well with my foundation without any stress.

3) It makes my face glitters: Lol...yes this is why it’s an Illuminator to start with so...definitely it makes my face glitters

4) It comes in different shades : Yes, it comes in different shades...so if you are light skinned or dark skinned, there is a shade for you too. 

5) It is affordable : I got this Illuminator around 3000 Naira - 4000 Naira, I think thats kinda Affordable...unlike some products you need to get around 10000 Naira. So it’s a good buy 

6) You will love it : You know I always brings the best stuffs to you guys, yes you will love this Illuminator...so try and get one and thank me later.

Hi guys, been a minute.... I have been a little occupied with stuffs... my favorite line yeah lol. Today I have something a lot different than the norm...it’s a guest post by the pretty Dein Tamuno a blogger who has built a safe community for girls, women and those who love them, you can check out her blog @ www.deintamuno.com ,we were able to connect and she agreed to do this for us ♥️♥️♥️. It’s a new one and you will enjoy it, have a good read.



THE OTHER WOMAN 

 

It pains me when I see that a woman can conquer a lot of things, but if she perhaps forgets to learn to cook, or isn't domesticated enough, she's nothing. As though the metric for measuring how successful a woman is starts, and ends in the home.
So you see a high flying career woman, who is excelling on all grounds in her career, being ridiculed by her neighbor, a fellow woman, because her husband has to cater to her kids sometimes, or she simply couldn't get around to doing her daughters hair right for school. 
The neighbor raises her shoulder, and smirks with pride, because her husband comes home to a fresh meal every night, and her girls have new hairstyles every weekend. She stands with smugness because in her eyes she's the perfect wife, the perfect mother. Not a today's kind of woman. A true wife material. 
She looks with disgust at her neighbor, who is always at home with her kids, with a new set of nails, and hair, Beautiful clothes but no achievements to her name. No prefix before the mrs, just the mrs nonetheless. "No substance" she says to herself, as she drives off in her self bought benz, to start her busy day. 
You see even before we are married, this subtle competitions still exist. So there you have a girl who somehow didn't get around to learning the intricacies of beauty and it's techniques, compensate herself with sayings like "boys don't like girls with so much makeup and empty heads.". When in truth you actually want to look as glamorous as that. The beautiful girl, who couldn't get around to excelling adequately in her academics, shames the other silently for doing just that, and not taking care of herself in the process. She compensates herself with "boys don't like ugly unkempt girls and girls that are too smart for them". 
Instead of asking how it's done, you result to the oldest trick in the book, condescending and shaming the other woman.
I figured that it is easier to pick out the mistakes in what others are doing wrong. We forget that just maybe, the other woman is living the life she dreamt of. She may not have it all together but the truth is, nobody does, no woman actually has it all together.
Being a stay at home wife, traditional woman, or a career woman, is a choice. It's nobody's decision to pick, but yours personally. What's wrong, is making the other woman feel like she is less than, because she isn't conforming to what you think a woman should be.

 

I have a theory, and I dare say, that sometimes our willingness to find something wrong in the way someone else is living their life, is due to our deficiencies. If we are honest with ourselves, we realize that we hate the other woman for having that thing we wish we had, but couldn't get around to acquiring. So we pride ourselves in how good we are at what we do, and tell the world how much better than the other woman we are. I reckon we don't realize that we are just trying to convince ourselves, and make ourselves feel better for our inadequacy. Like how the poor man says money Is not everything, to compensate for his lack of money. 

 

Instead of looking down on and trying to pinpoint what she's doing right or wrong, how about we help out. Lend a helping hand, cover each other's excesses. Adjust each others crown. A little "hey I'm taking the girls to make their hair, do you want Tonye to come along." "I'm going to the market, I can help you get this up". "I can swing by and help you pick that up". No biggie. "My company runs in that line, I could help you look it up so you're really sure about this business". "We have a test tomorrow, do you want me to help you with your revision". "Your hair could be so much better, here let me help you with that”.

 

We also shouldn't entertain condescending talks about our sisters, from other people. We ought to have them know they can't go around mocking our sisters for their incapabilities. Especially not around us. Not on our watch.. because you see it's easy to laugh with them about someone else, except what happens when you're not there, and you're the topic of the joke. 

 

You see when I stand on a podium and tell young girls, you can be "anything you want to be in future" I want to mean it. I don't want for young girls to have to choose between, the life they want, and the life they must have. I want them to know that if they will it, they can have it all. They don't have to be a super woman, because no woman is super, but they can do it all, with the help of their sisters and respective spouses.

 

I look forward to seeing partnerships like this. Women partnering with themselves and not tearing themselves down, over frivolous things. If we want to have a female president one day, and we want women to begin to occupy "male dominated fields". We need women to get to the top first so they could stand as a reckoning for younger ones, a pillar for other dreamers to look up too. We want women on the front line, lifting each other up, for the good of all of us, and the women who come behind us. She can put in the extra work, when she doesn't have to worry about everything. 

 

Truth is we are all women, fat, short, slim, lazy, hardworking, domesticated, career, preety, smart, the list is endless. And we shouldn't see each other as less than because of whatever reason we might have. There's beauty in our diversity, and so much we can conquer when we stop competing for frivolous things like the attention of men, and a pat on the back from society, and start using our diversity as a strength, to dismantle the patriarchy, because indeed the fight is not against ourselves, but against the patriarchy.

 

Us girls we've got to stick together.

Description
This curling cream will define, condition and add manageability to your curls, leaving them soft, shinny and deeply moistured. Made with 100% pure shea butter formulated  without chemicals or ingredients.

3) It takes  a good rub for it to blend in with my hair, else it will just be stucked on the location appearing as a white cream lol.


Direction on how to use.
I dantangle my hair first, using my fingers and my iron comb (I have a stubborn hair)...then I  apply my deep conditional and other things (my little secrets), I leave in for 30 - 60 minutes then  I wash off using my home made shampoo (drop a comment below If You want a post on how to make this) .
  I put in my oils (Olive oil and coconut oil) next and  spray my hair again, ensuring moisture is not lost, then I apply my Cantu shea butter coconut curling cream gently using my fingers.
