 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 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

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

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.

So he got home last year Christmas with a present for me a JERSEY....yeah had to write that in capital letters because I was surprised lol, well he did and even went ahead to put my name behind it, how sweet! 



We picked a date and decided to go see a movie or two wearing our jerseys and a jean shoe lol, I’m not a sneakers or jersey kinda girl so it felt quite awkward but I love my brother so I had one goal, just to make him happy 😊 , so I wore what he wanted and we left home. On getting to the point to get a taxi/bus my brother made me find out a new spot and guess what the tfare  is cheaper loll, I was shocked and happy for the new discovery. We got to the cinema and obviously looked for something to eat, ended up getting noodles

Hi guys, it has being a minute lol, I’m really sorry for going MIA for some weeks, let’s just say it has been life - work stuffs. How are y’all doing? And how is 2020 going for you? Today I want to share this new secret I found this new year lol...and it is the satin bonnet. We all know the ish about satin bonnet then but I am happy now it’s all over the place in my city, Lagos Nigeria and you can easily get one for yourself.

This is a picture of mine, I personally took this picture for y’all 💋. So let’s get straight to it, I will be sharing some reasons why you need a satin bonnet this 2020.


1) Healthier Hair
     If you get this and your faithful with using it say goodbye to split ends! It protects your hair from dryness caused by friction between your hair and moisture-absorbing materials such as cotton. This also helps to greatly reduce breakage, tangles and thinning.



2) Hydrated Hair
    Yes, satin bonnets helps keep your hair hydrated! Sleeping on cotton is known to dry out your hair from roots to ripe, satin  helps keep it fresh.

3) Better looking hair 
    If you have curly or wavy hair, you know that sleep can cause a serious mess! Sleeping with a bonnet helps keep curls in shape and keep the hair looking good.

4) No headache hair
     The cap keeps your hair pulled back and doesn’t cause the headaches you can get from tight ponytails and buns.

5) Slaps
   Satin caps are super stylish and come in a variety of style and Colours, this days ladies wear it out as a normal hair covering and it so so nice unlike our boring hairnets then. 

6) They are affordable 
   This is why I like this caps,they are so affordable and everyone can afford them. How nice!

7) They protect your weaves or braids 
   Yes! Aside their use for natural hair, they can be used in place of a hairnet and it keeps your weave or braids really neat, I had my braids on for 2 months with the help of a satin bonnet, it kept looking new and new. 


I hope you have been convince you that a satin bonnet is what you need, if you don’t have one after reading this post then I am disappointed in you, girl you need to go with the flow and drop that boring hairnet.

   Hi guys, your girl is here with a little secret to share with y’all.  I don’t have a perfect skin because I have had my share with acne and it was a tough time. I remember using all sorts of things on my face without any improvement, sometimes I  got burns from harsh products, discolouration and a whole lot. But well today my skin is in a good shape and I’m grateful. Today I want to share the few things I put on my skin, I really hate to put anything on my skin this days, I just leave it alone to take care of itself. But few days in a month, I use these buddies.
 
    When it comes to skincare routine, I am one of the few that can’t keep up , I hardly have time to do a lot but hey your skin is you and your all you got, so yeah I try to do this few times in a month.

1) My Tea tree mask by bodyshop : I am a huge fan of maskes because they just give my face this matte, sweet look and they also tighten my pores. It’s like having your face breath and you can feel the fresh air on your skin. Applying my mask also helps me remove dead skin cells , giving me a fresh, clear face. The last thing I love about my mask is it’s really easy to apply, no stains And no stress when you want to take it off.
    I just leave in for few minutes and after it has dried up, I wash off using water and my black soap and that’s it.


2) My body butter : We all know the ish with  body butters, the goodness of using them, it gives your skin a shiny look and that’s just what we want. I prepare mine myself because a girl has the ingredients and she got hands to lol, it’s so easy to even prepare and store.

My Ingredients

£ Shea Butter
£. Coconut oil
£ Vitamin E oil
£Grape-seed oil

I mix them together in a clean bowl and whip the Shea butter till it’s so smooth and soft and it’s ready, I store in a small container with a lid and keep in a cool place, you keep it out of Sunlight and heat.

This is my second skincare buddy and I love it much.


3) Tumeric Mask : I use this on rare occasions like once or twice in two months lol, I don’t use it often because it stains when it touches your cloth and it takes forever to come off that cloth, so annoying. But it’s really effective, tumeric brightens your skin and the result is seen almost immediately.


So yeah these are my three skincare buddies and I thought I should share. Xoxo and if you have any question or anything to add that’s effective too, feel free to say it in the comment session below.

     I have  learnt that in life balance is everything, if you miss it somewhere it affects everything, even the things already working out. I cultivated the habit of making my to do list and rather than having the urge to finish everything on it, I treat it as a way to prioritize. For example my incoming orders for my business I slot the days I am to go get them in my calendar just like my work related meetings.

     When you care for your work and personal life equally, that balance will come naturally. But a little discipline goes a long way. “Work while you work, play while you play”. Have sometime in the day, even if it’s an hour, where you put your phone and laptop away and do something you really like.    I do this by keeping the work and life aspects of my day in two separate buckets. You need to compartmentalize the issues and situations that pull you in the direction of mixing the buckets. At times, work will take precedence over your personal life and vice Versa, but ideally, everything balances out eventually. 

   Tips to balance your work-life 
1) I think you have to know yourself, know what makes you feel truly fulfilled. If you’re someone who requires exercise everyday, get some form of exercise on a regular basis. If you’re someone who requires some kind of visual assault, go for a walk in an area you’ve never been before and take it all in. Know what’s important to your self-preservation, and hopefully weave that into your day, week, your year. 

2) I want you to also know what compels you to continue to grow. Is it other people? New situations?  Repetitive situations? How can you continue to challenge yourself and grow into someone that you continue to feel is relevant and dynamic?

3) Schedule things on your calendar or your journal, don’t just be the disorganized person, I know it’s hard to keep up but you can do it. Always have everything written out and scheduled, it makes life much easier. 

4)Get an hobby, I am among the few percent that when asked “what do you do for fun” I go blank for a second before I eventually start putting things together to say. But we all have something that comes to us naturally, so why not take it all in and do it at your leisure, there is a high tendency you will become good at it and that’s a good thing if you ask me.

5) Love yourself, so hard that you take this bold step to get a life-work balance for your own mental health, if not anything but for yourself. 


   I am not a motivational speaker at least not yet, but I just thought I should share this useful tips  on how to have a healthy work-life balance. Thank you for  viewing and reading this post, you will be equally appreciated if you drop a comment down below or an addition just  incase  I missed anything. Xoxo

    Hey guys, I just want to say thank you for the turn up on the last post, It was really a good one from you guys, thank you.
     Today’s post took me a while to figure because I was confused on how to bring everything and put it in one post, but hey I found a way, your girl is smart, lol okay that’s me hyping myself and I guess it’s okay!
     Today’s post is about my every day essentials, I call them my essentials because they are important to me, and you can’t catch me without them.



1) My Oud Touch Scent
2) My Zaron Face Powder
3) My Bobbi Brush


MY OUD TOUCH SCENT
   Oud touch is a shared/unisex perfume by Franck olivier. The scent was launched in 2014.
Top notes : Orange, Raspberry, Toffee

Heart Notes: Violet, Rose, Jasmine, Patchouli, Olibanum

Base: Amber, Musk, Vanilla

     This is a beautiful blend of oud, franckincense, rose and caramel, what a combo, super nice! It comes in different note as mentioned above. The strongest note I know is the oud, frankincense and rose with a hint of caramel.
      I really love this scent “Oud touch” because it has this very oud-rose fragrance and it definitely makes you scent like a bag of money...lol , It also stays on for a long time, I mean for days and makes people know you scent, I actually find it pleasant when I walk into a room and my friends know I’m in the room just with the scent of my perfume. How cool!!!

MY ZARON FACE POWDER
According to Zaron: Zaron mattifying powder is specially formulated for the woman of color. It blots out oily shine and easily loosens such that it can have the same effect that loose powder has, giving the matte finishing look you want.

    I have had this for a while but it was just lying in my make up box, I took interest in it a day I was in a hurry and it was the first I laid my hands on, so I took it and used it, It actually came out nice. It gave my face this matte finish and stayed on for quite a long time, I was impressed I must say, it’s oil free, it’s comes in a compact form, available in like 11 shadessss oh wow!

I also love the bronze undertone it gives my face after adding my fix spray, really nice . It also helps to mattify your makeup by blotting away unwanted oily shine, contains light weight compounds.  Do I recommend it? Yes! I think it’s a nice product coupled with the fact that it’s a indegenous  brand too.

MY BOBBI BRUSHES
      The goat and pony-hair bristles are rounded, tapered, and soft. Why do I like it : This brush packs on the pigment right where it’s needed, then blends it into the skin.

     The bristles are soft and I feel very high quality. I use this to apply my powders and also highlighters so effortlessly making me look like I glow from within lol. It’s very affordable well I can’t say now, I  got mine few years back and it was really affordable then. I just love the fact that the brush is really soft and over the years it has maintained that softness, so amazing!


OVERVIEW
 These are my everyday essentials and I think these products were all made with love for us and I really love them too. I recommend everyone of them for you just Incase you are not sure of any scent, powder or brush to use. Feel free to drop a comment below if you have any question or addition to make, I will appreciate that and also feel free to share this to your friends and family. Thank you for stopping by....muah.

       I am a huge fan of good food, I love Good food and I dont hesitate to try them. I really have not been able to go to a chinese restaurant untill recently and it was cool.

                           


      IF you have been to a chinese restaurant please indicate in the comment session and tell us about your experience.

    I found out about the restaurant from a friend and I was surprised it was close to my place, awnnn how nice! So I quickly searched and made up my mind to check it.

    When i got to the place I was surprised, it was really well structured and fine, the environment was really clean and quiet, I was super happy. The place had this sit out for guys to relax over some bottles of drinks.


   I went in and the interior was really soft and subtle, I really liked the interior, it was almost like a candle light dinner. The lights were really low and soft.
                                   
   An attendant then came over and gave us the menu book, to choose from, the dishes were so much and I was confused, after enough thinking, with the help of staff I settled for a meal.

                         


1) STARTER : For my starter, I went for a light snack, I went for the chicken spring roll with pepper sauce... The spring roll was tasty, I just had a probelm with the too many onions in it.

                                 

2) MAIN MEAL: The main meal was very hard to settle on, I had too many options.  I settled for the special fried rice with prawn and diced meat.

                                 

3) Cocktail drink :  I settled for this cocktail drink, it was nice, we had ice cubes put in  our drink too. I had 2 glasses because it was tasty.
                       

I really had a nice time in the chinese restaurant, it was quiet, calm and really peaceful... IF you visited one before, you should tell us in the comment session. My sad part was when it was time to clear the bills,  was charged 5% VAT..Just imagine.

       Hi guys, how is everyone? I dont want to say been a while because I have been around lol.... I want to share my experience on my trip to my HOMETOWN after a long time,we are looking at 5-6 years. I am from


Niger delta, Nigeria and this visit I stayed at my late grandma's house. It was fun because it is developed unlike what i expected. We had electricity for some hours and tiled road, really cool place I must say.


        I left with my parents,brother, neighbour,a worker for my dad and myself and yes we drove all the way and this is because we needed easy movememt over there so we needed a car and we had plenty luggages and goods. The journey was a smooth one all thanks to God and yes we stopped to eat....hurray, I liked the food.

      The days I stayed were exciting because we were able to eat our native food, the popular banga soup and starch

 and we ate alot of pork meat so yummy.

    We went to this water side and it had alot of flying boat, I could only get a picture from afar because I had limited time and I was not able to enter the boats very sad.


I also saw this improvised way of drying fresh pepper for sale, I have never seen it before so it was my first time and i had to take a picture for yall.


In general I enjoyed my trip because I was able to know my hometown like all over, I met my uncles, aunties,cousins and many more people, was so happy I had no negative experience and I am back home. It was really a fun experience....
