Hello Lovelies, I hope you all are doing well! Below is a video tutorial on how to achieve a beautiful glowing skin.
Drinking lots of water is essential to earn a glowing skin, you may want to exercise often. Using some good skin care products such as day and night cream, serum, face wash from brands such as Loreal, Channel, clarins, biotherm is an excellent way to achieve a radiant skin. I also love using bio oil on my face .
Essential vitamins such as vitamin A,C,D,E and vis oil helps alot aswell. Eating well balanced diet, sleeping enough also is paramount.
A very big thank you to all the amazing family members of fabulous beauties!!! yes peeps, we made it this far! Thank you so much my amazing friends for your love, support, encouragement and patronage! I love you to the moon, back and forth.

I love flying with KLM, British Airways, Emirates, Turkish airlines and Royal air maroc when going on vacation.
Please find my pictures and videos of awesome countries I have visited!
Hey lovelies, I hope you all are having a great week. Last weekend, I had the pleasure to do the beautiful makeup of this very talented and amiable model. She has been my photo model for over three years. Few years ago I did her makeup with that of several other young ladies during an organised event in zeeland.
Makeup is great way we all can use to enhance our look. My advice to all ladies in the house is to practice self love, take good care of your self, eat healthy, wear makeup, make sure you wash and keep all your makeup items clean and sterelised.
I hope you are inspired.
My white top, glasses is from Primark. My pretty queen star bag is a lovely gift from my sister in Nigeria, model has a black dress from Zara, jean from H&M, lipstick from Loreal, Black up foundation and powder from Makeup studio!!!
Hi muffins, I hope you all are doing great! Here are some pictures to inspire you how to do your makeup and styling! These pictures were taken few years ago during my photosession in The Netherlands. These pictures were shoot in zeeland in The Netherlands by a dutch famous photographer!!!
By the way, I have been asked by my friends especially from Nigeria to teach them dutch. Ik spreek goed Nederlandse! leuk he! (just wrote in dutch yeeh)
I have also been asked alot to create my videos in dutch. I have given most of my non- dutch friends coaching on how to learn the dutch language fast, my tips includes the folowing – read dutch books, newspaper, watch dutch television programmes, leaning from YouTube and so on.
I find learning new languages fun, I do love to learn spanish and italian languages as well.
Hey lovelies , I hope you all are doing well. I recently created a video ( see below) to inspire you on how tolook morefabulousand some heathcare tips. I used to work at de.tuinen and Kruidvat as assistent drogist. During my working experience with these prestigieus companies, Ilearnt alot about how to give customers advice related to oral hygiëne, Hair care and skincare.
I purchased lots of vitamines from de tuinen; Etos and Kruidvat . Vitamins are essential for the body such as vitamine a, b,c, d, e and k for healthy skin, hair and body.
I also gotsomevitamines for free from my awesome doctor friend.
I was a photo model few years ago. I used to make awesome pictures then, i still do now but ocaasionally. Sometimes i get items for free after my phtosession. I have received lots of cloths jewelries shoes for free as a gift after my shoot.
As a young aspiring model, my advise to you isalways be polite, look decent and fabulous. In case a photographer does not have money to offer you as compensation,ask for jewelries , clothsetc.
I hope you are inspired
P.s i am always looking for photographers to help me expand my portfolio, please feel freeto contact me if you do like to work with me.
Being good to yourself sounds easier than it looks, many of us are living lives that are busy, complicated and we often spend time juggling many balls, I for one know that is my life on a regular basis, however I find that I can end up feeling like a headless chicken and there are moments where I just need to take a step to strip back and really focus on ME, so here are some of the ways that I like to treat myself just like I should.
1.CREATE A VISION
Mood boarding, is something I’ve just started doing, if I’m not clear on what I want and how I want to be treated how can I be successful at being good to myself. I love to get a range of magazines, websites and experiences to put an ideal vision of what I want my life to look like. This is a recent activity but one I know will make a massive difference to me. From how having a vision on how I want my time to be spent to how I want my body to look nothing is off limits, as they say without a vision the people perish, and I really believe it is a fundamental step to being good to ones self. I also use Pininterest nd Tumblr website to get inspirational ideas and I do creat moardboard on these sites. I love to buy art works with motivational text on it.
2.EAT WELL
Many of you know that I’m a massive foodie, it helps me be more organised as well as takes up a lot less time than thinking about what to eat every day. My favourites are all thing’s grilled chicken, fish along with lots of beans, rice, sweet potatoes and broccoli.
3.LOOK AFTER MY BODY
We all know that we should be doing this but are we, I have found that having a gym membership often meant that I had money going down the drain constantly, however having just decided on a personal trainer it has really taken my exercising experience to the next level. I also exercise myself. I do 100 sit ups every morning when I wake up and also sit ups before going to bed. It makes me feel agile and ready for the day.
4.LOOK AFTER MY SKIN
My skin is something that has recently taken a back seat with me lately as my priorities have been elsewhere. But with noticeably seeing changes that I wasn’t so happy with I realised that a new routine needed to be put in place Asap. I love the idea of having a simple skin care regimen that doesn’t require more steps then are necessary. From time to time I use acids such as glycolic and lactic to deal with my stubborn skin care issues, but obviously I can’t use these daily. With the new range from NIVEA it has been a great option for consistent cleansing that is deep but also provides touchable softness. I’ve used the makeup wipes for those lazy nights, the cream wash for a quick in shower facial wash and the lotion for a gentle cleansing massage. When my skin feels right all seems right with the world.
5.PRACTICING MINDFULNESS
Finally mindfulness is my final piece of the being good to myself mantra. Taking that time in the morning, to reflect and be thankful make’s all the difference. Everyone deserves 5 minutes to take a break to reflect, don’t you think? 5 inutes journal by Mimi Ikonn is also a great book you can use for your personal reflection.
I created a video below on my skin care regime and also advice on how to be happier. I hope you are inspired.
With the dawn of June, comes the expectation of summer around the corner and I for one am excited. They say summer bodies are made in the winter.
Now I’ve got you all pumped, today I’ll be spilling the tea on how to get yourselves ready for the season ahead, top to toe.
Face
Let’s face it, getting your face in fabulous order is a surefire way to prepare for Spring. 10 Minute Mask from Origins is an absolute must for taking control of your complexion, combating skin problems and banishing impurities, in a simple step. Masks like this are a really effective and fast acting way to begin the transformation process. Also, I usually pamper my face by washing it properly at least for 15 minutes each time I go to bath with a face cleaning soap, not just your usual bathing soap from Nivea, Dove, A&H, Kruidvat.
Less is definitely more when it comes to makeup. For that summertime transition, put down the brown palettes and say hello to pink flirty colours. Aim for lightweight formulas that add a blush of colour to the face. I usually use lipstick from Loreal, Mac, Ysl, and Dior. These are great brands and their lipstick last very long and are very pretty.
Body
Goodbye sallow – hello glow
To achieve a super indulgent extra radiance boost, the Pure Gold Collagen 10-day-programme is simply amazing. This beauty supplement aims to fight the first signs of ageing from within, by aiding in collagen production in the deepest layers of your skin. This leaves it looking firmer, plump, brighter and more youthful.
For a gradual boost, I’m a huge advocate of exfoliating and bath salts like the Dr Kniep body scrub, body scrub from Lush, or from the The body shop is a must have!!! are a relatively easy, low abrasive way to do this. They work by removing dead skin to increase cell turnover, which releases the inner glow.
Scent
For perfume, I suggest going a little more understated than normal this summer. One million from Paco Robanne is great, you may use parfumes from Ysl, Hugo boss, Gucci Guilty and dior are great perfumes for summer. If you are really on tigh budget and cnt afford to buy perfumes from Douglas, Ici Parijs, Mooi Parfumerie in The Netherlands, You may want to visit Parfum Star in Hoogstrat Rotterdam for very affordable perfumes or go online and shop at parfumenia!!!.
Hair
There’s something about the warmer weather that often makes us ladies want to switch up our hair. Experimenting with semi-permanent colour on extensions is my thing, so for those of you with colour treated hair – like me – you’ll know that maintenance is everything.
So there you have it, my top to toe readiness suggestions for the upcoming season – watch out Summer we’re coming for you!
Please check out my inspirational video below on how you can style yourself this season.
So this might seem like a random post, and hard to believe from someone who has the following that I have, but this is something I have felt from time to time, and actually I remember at moments like this.
Insecurity affects those in all ranges of achievement, and as a blogger/vlogger/creator, I’ve sometimes felt ‘un-recognized’ by my industry peers and institutions. I have over 5 million views and thousands of followers in all my social media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and so on. Now rather than having a pity-party, and thinking “woe is me”, I am the type of person who reflects and analyses. Is it due to inconsistency, bad quality, or just not being ‘out there’ enough? When I find that none of these are the reason however, it can be a bit disheartening.
Now I actually don’t write this post just for myself, but because I’m realizing that this is the case for SOOO many people, whether it is at work, or school, or amongst a team or within a family some of us are just not getting the ‘recognition’, we think we deserve. Whenever you feel unaccepted or criticized, do not breakdown and feel pity for yourself, rather remember your strong qualities and characteristics you have, you may want to start enhancing your strengths so that it can overshadow your weaknesses.
I have done over four beauty pageants, whereby I won once and the rest of the time I took second and third position, believe me or not, this life is all about competition, you find competition at work place , school and even in churches. I have had several businesses for a decade and one of my keys to success is to keep going even when the going is tough, I learn from every experience I have had the opportunity come my way.
So, I just wanted to write this to give some of you a little motivation/inspiration. To understand that although it might seem hard, and there may be moments where you just feel like no one is seeing the effort you are putting in (They probably aren’t), it’s more important to remember to challenge oneself not based on who is watching. Instead pursue all endeavours with excellence, stay in your own lane and be true and consistent no matter the outcome. Also being the only one who gives yourself that round of applause, even in the most embarrassing way is OK!!!
