Top 5 Energy Suppliers In The Netherlands!

Hi angels, I hope you all are doing great. Have you been wondering which energy supplier you need for your home that is very affordable and reliable with great customer service, I have great news for you. These are my best top 5 Energy supplier in Holland. This blog post is especially for internationals living in the Netherlands and not so familiar with all the awesome  energy suppliers in Holland.

Eneco is very famous in The Netherlands especially in Rotterdam. While I was studying at In Holland university, during my second year, I wrote a  project with my team members, we had to compare and contrast the energy suppliers in Holland. Eneco is very famous nd most preferred in Rotterdam. Majority of the rotterdamers use Eneco. There is as gadget  Eneco gives out for free to their cusyomers woth over two hubdred euros called Toon. Eneco offers the gadget for free.

Eneco has a top notch customer service and make use of wind energy. In The Netherlands wind energy is more famous. In Nigeria, many homes use fuel, diesel and gas as energy supply commonly used for generators which does pollute the air. Wind energy does not cause air pollution. Other great energy supplier in Holland are Nuon, Delta, Essent, Eon and ene- gie.

I hope you are inspired.  I do love to learn from you which energy supplier you use for your gas, electricity and water and the reason behind your choice.

Stay fabulous.
I love you.

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.
