Few weeks from now is Christmas! Yaas!!! I am so excited and yet to decorate my house. I have been so busy with studies and school examinations. I am so thrilled. Most shops in The Netherlands and in United kingdom has amazing presents for Christmas, I usually buy my presents from Media art in Holland, Bol.com, Sephora, River island, H&M, Douglas, Ici Parijs, Omoda and Open32 shop in Goes The Netherlands. My favourite food for Christmas is rice, chicken or turkey. Christmas is an amazing time to spend quality time and sharing presents with your loved ones. I am so excited for wonderful December, my second son had his birthday this month and also a good friend of mine. Happy birthday to you all celebrating this month. Make sure you take good care of yourself this wonderful time of the year! Christmas period is not only the time to merry, but also time to hit the gym and eat a little healthier.

Work Wear!

HELLLLO 🙂 I hope everyone had a great week!!Since the weather has been much colder this year, and I can no longer rock my favourite summer outfits, which is more comfortable and practical. I love putting fun, uniqueness to my winter outfits when I have time, but I also love having a staple look each season that I can rely on when I don’t have the time to get creative.

Most of my friends in Nigeria has been asking me to buy items from Europe such as clothes, shoes. Perfumes, makeup and supply, If I had the money, I would love to start merchandising immediately! I guess I have to start saving seriously! There is high demand for European fashion in Africa. Recently, I discovered a site in The UK called everything5pounds and wish, it’s amazing! The web shop has male and female items

I hope you’re all having a great day!

Thank you so much for reading!

My New Favourite Looks 2017!

Hello lovelies, I feel like like sharing with you my usual everyday outfits i wore this year, although I also wore african outfits during my photo sessions or just indoors.(Say goodbye to constant floordrobe and torturous screams of ‘I have nothing to wear!’) I like to have about four staple everyday looks each season, so I can change my outfit depending on how I’m feeling and what I’m doing that day. I think it’s important to have different go-to looks as I change quite dramatically from day to day how I want to show myself to the world. That’s the reason I love fashion. Fashion is a great way to express your self, taste, sense of style. – that’s the fun of it!

Anyway, I wanted to share with you one of my new staple looks. I buy most of my outits online from shops such as Zalando, Zara, Topshop, Asos, Nelly, Only, Mango, The Bijenorf, Next, designual.

I hope you guys are having a great day and please let me know what your go-to outfits are!

I love you.

Healthy Food For Glowing Skin

Hi lovelies, Here are some of my current favourite food items. Healthy diet is essential for healthy looking skin. Food rich in omega 3 would help you achieve a glowing skin. Cooking from scratch is healthier, buy your own vegetables from the supermarket and prepare fresh meals everyday. Drinking lots of water and good night rest helps you to achieve lovely skin as well. Please do avoid ingesting too much carbohydrate rather consume meals with high protein content such as fish, milk, egg and lean meat.

Little carbohydrate and lots of fruits and vegetables would help you achieve a healthier looking skin. Too much sugar intake is bad for your health. if you can, abstain from high volume of alcohol intake and smoking. Consuming good healthy food will make you look more trimmed, healthy and keep you fit. Exercise is an essential way to tone your muscle, induces excretion and helps you look and feel better. You may want to wash your self at least twice everyday use face mask, facial scrub, day and night cream for your skin treatment as well. Please find below a video with my skin care routine. Kindly share with me your skin care regime, I do love to learn from you .

By the way, Whether you are big, small fabulous, I still do love you just the way you are!

Hey Sweetness! Winter is officially here! are you looking for a winter date idea to try? Or maybe you’re totally single and just looking for a fun idea for a girl’s trip, a birthday, or just an “i-need-to-treat-myself-because-im-awesome” date! Here’s a fun date Idea that I’d highly recommend for winter. I usually spend most of my time indoors during winter period, working, writing, working on school assignments, reading or just giving myself a nice treat. Do remember to treat your skin with good skin care products. Some very affordabe skincare product i like aot is Nivea, it helps to reduce dry skin. Nivea has showergel, body oil and bodycream. For kids, Zwitsal bad foam is amazing, and baby oil. Do remember to keep your hair and entire body tidy and fabulous . Primark and Marks and Spencers in Europe has very affordable clothing for winter period

Few months ago, I went for a car tour in Rotterdam, I love cars such as Porsche and Lamgboghini. It was great fun!

Feel Good Therapy For Winter!!!

Hi lovelies, I hope you all are doing well. As a certified beauty consultant and biochemist, I learnt alot during my study years on some cool tips on how to feel good especially during the winter period, whereby the weather seems to be cold all the time. These are some tips for you:

Drink lots of flavoured thee, soup, my favourite soup are fish soup, tomato, lentil soup.
Dance dance dance or go for a walk. Taking a long walk or cycling can be very helpful. you tend to receive fresh air and experience beautiful nature.
Do your manicure, pedicure, makeup, wash , clean your self and be ready for the day even if you do not have anywhere to visit
Hang out and spend some quality times with friends and family.
Buy your self a present. You do not wait until you receive a present from someone, you may give your self a nice flower or perfume.
If you live in a cold (winter) country like the Netherlands, Belgium, you may want to visit a Sunny country such as the Maldives, Seychelles for holidays
Pamper your self, visit a spa for massage, pampering, if you have enough money go on vacation to a nearby holiday homes, luxirious hotel etc
If you are really bored and do not have much to do, start a class, you may start to tke a laguage lesson, beauty classes etc

I hope these tips were helpful!

p.s. I am not a medical doctor, these are just tips i use my self and has helped me alot to pep up my moods. If you are feeling very sad, depressed and experiencing some anxiety attack, I do advice you to see your doctor.

I love you

xoxoxo

I just want to use this medium to say a big congratulations to my little sister for the birth of your newborn baby! I love you both so much.

And also a big congratulations to my older son for acquiring your b diploma for swimming. I am so so proud of you.

my lovely sister and her son!

Having a positive mindset can improve your mood, I was watching t.v. the other day, a lady with terminal cancer was being coached by her doctor on how to overcome the anxiety she felt as a result of her ailment, the doctor advised her to pretend as if she is perfectly fine (live in denial), she should never think about the fact that she has cancer and would die in few year, the lady admitted that denial helped her to overcome depression, anxiety and sadness her ailment caused her. She felt better and was more positive. These are some more tips that would help you feel better.

Celebrate even your smallest success. Keep a journal, write down 3 things each day that you are grateful for or went really well.

Speak positively and in the present tense – instead of ‘I want to be happy’, change it to ‘I am happy’.

Know that you can choose your thoughts. Train your mind to focus on the good in your life.
