Best Hotels I Recommend!

Hello, my beautiful friends and family! How are you? I hope you all are doing great. I am so thankful to have been to several hotels in Africa, in The Netherlands, and hotels in other European countries. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to have stayed in several fabulous hotels in The Netherlands, Paris, Spain, Greece, Belgium, Lagos Nigeria. I have traveled alone in some European countries and with my family in some occasions.

These are some of the top hotels I have stayed in;

  1. Hotel Timor
  2. Porto Platanias
  3. Eko Hotel
  4. Novotel
  5. Van der Valk
  6. Fletchers Hotel
  7. Raddison Blu Hotel
  8. Citi Lodge Hotel
  9. Sheraton hotel
  10. Amadore Hotel
  11. Hotel Middelburg
  12. Ibis Hotel Ikeja Lagos

These above-mentioned hotels have great customer service, very tidy, and care for their customers. During my stay at the Sheraton hotel about a decade ago, I had a very nice massage I enjoyed very much with a very nice masseuse at the Sheraton hotel close to Schipol airport.

I really enjoyed my working experience a couple of years ago at  Amadore hotel in Zeeland, Amadore hotel has several hotels in Zeeland, some of the hotels have wellness, an amazing place to relax.

There are several reasons people go to the hotel, to relax, visit friends and family, shopping, writing, for making nice pictures, for experiencing new culture, food, and environment.  In 2019, I spent a night at Radisson Blu hotel in Antwerpen, I had so much fun. I and four other footballers friend of mine spent quality time in my bedroom for some hours before they left.

I love food very much,  I enjoy different dishes. I like Julia’s takeout food, Panos sandwiches and other delicacies you get to enjoy when you travel. If you live alone, or have your family abroad, or a widow or a widower and feel very lonely at home, Instead of becoming depressed, I recommend you travel to a new city and stay in a very nice hotel or Airbnb. According to medical practitioners, loneliness can lead to depression.

I hope this blog post inspired you! I do have friends and family members that have a lot of kids. If you do plan to travel to a new country and wish to lodge in a hotel, I do advise you to call the hotel first and ask if you can spend the night in a room with your husband and wife and with for or five of your young kids. Some hotels might not accept large family members to spend a night in a room with their kids.

You can arrange a nice vacation with Sunweb. Thank you so much for reading my blog and have a great trip or happy stay at any hotel of your destination! I would like to use this opportunity to thank all the great hotels around the world for creating a nice, private, and conducive place for your guest.

xoxo

Hello, my beautiful friends and family! How are you? I hope you all are doing great! Men and women tend to struggle sometimes with excessive hair on the legs, shoulder, back, and chest. There are several ways to care for excessive hair on your body. Summer is around the corner, We need to care for our body hair, feet (pedicure), and hands (manicure). There are several ways to care for excessive hair on your body

  1. Shaving with shaving foam and shaving stick
  2. Waxing
  3. Trimming with scissors
  4. For women, with no hair, please wear Extention or wigs. Rosa beauty and Luxy hair has very nice hair
  5. For men, if you do not have enough hair on your hair, use the natural remedy on your hair such as rice water, or drink some hair vitamins, you can buy this from DE TUINEN in The Netherlands.

I am not a doctor but a biochemist. If you want to achieve healthier hair, nails, and better skin, you need to improve your diet. Consume more milk, protein-rich food such as fish, meat, and chicken.

If you have an itchy scalp, oily scalp or dandruff, use a special shampoo. Wash your hair every day with nice shampoo from Loreal and also use a hair conditioner.

There are artificial ways to improve your hair texture on your head such as hair transport. If you want to remove the entire hair on your hair, you need to undergo major Lazer.

I hope this tip inspires you. Please do share with me how you care for your hair

Summer Lookbook Inspiration!

Hello, my beautiful friends and family! How are you? I hope you all are doing well. I enjoy wearing very lovely dresses. Dresses makes me feel confident and more feminine. A few months ago, Femme Luxe approached me to promote their lovely dresses, I was very pleased to do so. I have also worn dresses from other brands such as Quiz, Fashionova, Nelly, Shein, and Awbridals.

I love to make the best use of my summer outfits, I do enjoy wearing my lovely summer outfits indoors, to the beach, and also for creating my Instagram stories, blog posts, Facebook posts, and youtube post. I have received a lot of compliments from my amazing friends, fans, and family! You guys have told me that I look lovely in these dresses ( please find pictures below). The weather in the Netherlands is great these days, not too cold, so such outfits would be nice to wear during these sunny days.

The dresses I am wearing below are very fragile, I do recommend you wash such outfits with hand, If you must wash it in a washing machine, please set the washing machine at a very low temperature. Washing these clothes without care will damage the outfits. For my male fans and reader out there, please do make sure you wash your outfits regularly and properly by using the right temperature, separating colored wash, and whitewash.  I enjoy laundry very much and also has coached several persons on how to care for themselves, shoes and linen. I used to work for laundry and dry cleaning company over a decade in Nigeria, I really learned a lot about caring for all kinds of clothing while I was working for the company. If you do enjoy washing your towels, bedsheets at home nd really like it to smell great, I do recommend you use Robijn washing gel from Jumbo Supermarket in The Netherlands.

I hope this blog post inspires you. If you need some coaching on how to style your self this summer period, look and smell great! Please contact me!

xoxo

Trendy Hair Style Idea 2020!

Hello my beautiful friends and family! How are you? I hope you all are doing great. This is a requested blog post. I love styling my hair. Summer is here! We all wants to have a nice hair style, good manicure and pedicure so that when we go to the beach, we feel very good. I like wearing nice hair. I like to brush my hair and feel the texture of my hair too. I am so happy to be  hair stylist. I get to feel different hair texture, advice regarding cool hair trends, dye and give hair cut.

Below are some of the hair styles I do recommend this year! Women, you can wear your hair in a knot behind your head, dye it, blow dry it, tong it, braid it, wash it at least twice a week. Men, wash your hair too regularly, go for hair cut once in a month at lest, dye your hair if you do have grey hair. I do recommend loreal hair dye.  You can use channel hair mist and spray on your hair, that would make your hair smell really nice.

I love wearing wigs and fixing weavon. I am currently trying to grow my own natural hair. So I am using the home made remedy for it. Rice water. I spray this on my hair. I have been using this for one week and I can see the result. it is  a brilliant way to grow your hair. I also use the hair growth vitamin from De tuinen.

 

I hope these hair styling tips inspires you. I am a hair stylist, please contact me if you need some guidance on how to makeyour hair look better and more fabulous.

How To Care For Your Dearie!

Hello my beautiful friends and family, how are you? Today, I am going to inspire all the men around the world on how to take care of your derie ( your wife, girlfriend, lover, woman in my own opinion. Women are like flowers, women need to be taken care of and not be hurt physically, emotionally nor verbally.

  1. Send her flowers
  2. Be a good listener
  3. Give her compliments
  4. Do not be selfish in bed., rather touch her and give her affection, not once a week, or in a year, but on daily basis.
  5. Gift her, please do not send your wife gift that is not from your heart.
  6. Please do destroy her items, rather help in maintaining it
  7. Men avoid verbal, mental, emotional abuse towards your wife.
  8. Do not take items or your wife’s belongings and sell them or give them to another woman without her knowledge.
  9. If your wife can not make children, please see a doctor, do an ivf (invitro fertilization)  if need be. Please do not insult her due to inability to get pregnant or try to solve the pregnncy issue by yourself as a man, rather do it together.
  10. Never judge your wife. Leave God in heaven to judge. If your wife makes mistake, do not beat her up in the house or on the street, rather correct her, guide and coach her
  11. Some men do set their wife up with other men in order to test her faithfulness towards him. Men, do remember that your wife is only human and not God, so please do not tempt your wife, rather, coach, teach, uplift and love her unconditionally.
  12. If your wife offends you, forgive her instantly, avoid setting her up with togs, implicating her or to a vulnerable situation.
  13. Do not stop her hone, her home internet connections, her browsing history, rather trust her
  14. These above-mentioned tips are also applicable to women. Women should also be nice, kind to their husband.
  15. Men, if your wife does tell you what she likes and not like, please stick to that, please do avoid engaging in the same activities that may upset her. For example, if your wife does like a tidy home, please keep it tidy all the time.
  16. Please do not ears drop on your wife, spy on her or deceive and lie to her, rather, protect her, guide and love your wife.
  17. Have fun and enjoy your marriage life.
  18. Never blame a woman for mistakes she did not commit intentionally. For example, if you just met your girlfriend, if you never asked her if she was married or not in the first place, before entering a relationship with her, do not blame her afterwards when you find out she is married because you never asked her in the first place. Some married women and men do keep their marriage status to themselves when they are not asked due to privacy reasons. It is not in my place nor yours to judge such individuals. Rather, be very sure of whom you are dating before finally deciding to marry them eventually.

 

Disclaimer, I am not a marriage expert rather, I am writing in regards to how I would be liked to be treated as a wife, hence I have some marriage experience.

I am very pleased to announce to you all that I have finally started writing my digital book here. Thank you all so much for your love, kindness and inspirations.

I love you!

xoxo

How To Find A Job In The Netherlands In 2020!

Hello, my amazing friends and family! How are you today? I hope you all are doing well. Today, I am going to share with you five top websites you can find a job. I have a LinkedIn account, please find the link below.

  1. Linkedin
  2. Monsterboard
  3. National vacature bank
  4. Jobrapido
  5. Indeed.nl

There are several other websites for finding a job, but these links mentioned above are easier to use to find a job. If you do need help with creating your cv, you can contact Cavazanni recruitment agency in Nigeria.  I have had the great opportunity to work with several prestigious companies in African and Europe. My first job in The Netherlands was at restaurant Toro dorado, that was in the year 2010, I could barely speak the dutch language then. If you are looking for a job for non-Dutch speakers, you can check out werk.nl to find jobs in restaurants.  You may want to contact recruitment agencies such as unique, tempo team, Cavazanni, Facebook groups, and many others. You may want to go to the door to door and find a job. visit some restaurants, boutiques, hotels and mention to them that you need a job, I got jobs severally by doing so.  From my experience working over a decade in The Netherlands, most companies need candidates that are very flexible and willing to work five days a week and also available minimum of forty hours per week.

I hope these tips inspired you. I am a certified beauty, business and health consultant in The Netherlands. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need one and one coaching on finding a job! Thank you so much for reading my blog.

How To Earn Financial Assistance From The Dutch Gorvenment

Hello, my beautiful friends and family! How are you? I hope you all are doing well. This is a commonly asked question. I have been asked several time, if I do receive financial assistance from the Dutch government, my answer is no. I do not receive financial assistance. I do currently have my own business. There are several criteria you need to meet before (uitkering) financial assistance can be granted.

  1. You have to apply for your self. If you have someone registered on your address, you need to register with the person registered on your address. If you have children registered on your address, you have to include all the names of your children on the application form. Uitkering would not be granted to you if you have someone living in your address and the person can not apply alongside with the man or woman on the address if he or she is a student and not allowed to apply for uitkering due to the fact that the person is a student and not allowed to apply for uitkering.
  2. You have to submit your bank statement for the application.
  3. You have to make sure you have a registered address.
  4. If you are receiving alimentation from your husband, you need to declare how much you are receiving.
  5. If you are pregnant, uwv uitkering may be granted to you if you do have your own registered business.
  6. If you are receiving study financing (duo) you may not be able to receive uitkering
  7. If you are a mummy, nursing a newly born baby and can not start working immediately, because you need to nurse your newlyborn precious baby, please do ask the dutch gorvenment for financial assistance

Over a decade ago, I received uitkering from the Rotterdam municipality for a couple of months, The rotterdam gorvenment also sponsored by studies at Beauty partners in Rotterdam in The Netherland.  after a while, my uitkering was stopped when I started studying at the university. I started living in Middelburg at the end of my study year ar Rotterdam University of Applied sciences.  A few years ago, I applied for uitkering, in zeeland, it ws not granted because the person registered at my address then could not apply for uitkering alongside with me because of studies. I have been working as a self employed.

If you not wish to apply for uitkering, and need to start your own business, you need to register with the chamber of commerce in The Netherlands (kvk). If you need more coaching regarding starting your own business, please do contact me.

My dear friends and family, I hope this blog post inspired you. Thank you so much for reading my blog. Good luck!

xoxo

5 Top Ways To Stay In Shape!

Hello, my amazing friends! How are you? I hope you all are doing well! Today, I am going to share with you tips on how to lose weight. I am a mummy, I gained weight during my pregnancies, after giving birth, losing baby weight is paramount. During my pregnancy, I weight almost 100 kg at the third trimester. I am currently really working really hard to get back to my usual weight of 60 kg, although I am not currently overweight.

There is no greater feeling than having your healthy happy baby in your arms. it is very important for mummy to lose weight because I had caesarean section during giving birth to my baby, I could not start working out until after five months after giving birth, because I was so scared that my wound will open and hurt my self. Below are tips that would help you lose weight

1. Drink a lot of water. Sometimes we feel hungry, actually, you are not hungry, but rather thirsty. rather than eating, drink lots of water

2. Exercise often. cycle for one or two hours daily. You can go for a long walk too

3. Eat lots of fish, meat, vegetable and fruits. Avoid food that contains high carbohydrates ok

4. practise meal prepping and planning

5. Do lots of situps on a daily basis

6. Avoid starvation

Aside from losing weight, it is very important to take good care of your skin, for instance, if your weight went from two hundred kilograms to seventy kilograms, you may experience sagginess in your abdominal area. If you do not work out properly, you may also experience stretch marks if you do not use the right cosmetics.  Please see more skincare advice videos below

I hope these tips inspire you. Thank you so much for reading. Jumbo or Albert heijn has great food already made salad, lots of vegetables, food items, drinks and more that can help you, loose weight.
