How To Relax after a Long Trip!

Hello, my beautiful friends and family.  How are you? I hope you are doing fine. Traveling or moving from one place to another can be exhilarating and time-consuming.

In as much as possible traveling and discovering a new place is very important for self-development, experience, learning,  meeting your life partner, making new friends, and creates opportunities to visit loved ones such as family members. The following tips would enable you to have a blissful trip;

1.  Relax with a headset of VR-i

2. Eat healthy meals

3. Exercise.

4.Visit a sauna or spa

5. become creative by writing books, sketching, or by creating music

6 . catch some good sleep

7.  Listen to my latest song here

Sometimes, I get really tired after a long trip. For example, if you have spent 6 to 10 hours in an airplane flying from Lagos to Amsterdam, Paris, or Spain, the tendency of tiredness would be present.

If you do wish to travel abroad, I do recommend you travel with KLM or Turkish airways.

Thank you so much for listening and for reading my blog.

I hope these tips inspired you.

My Current Favourite Paintings!

Hello, my beautiful friends and family! How are you all doing today? I hope you are doing great. Painting is a great way to express one’s talent. Please find below some of my recent paintings. recently I ordered some cool canvas from Action supermarket and from Pipoos.

For some of my blog readers, friends, and family that wish to start painting. You may want to purchase your paint from Pipoos and Action supermarket. Painting is really exciting.  You need to sellotape the edges of your canvas before you start painting. Make sure you are very calm, relaxed, not bothered before you start painting. If you have worries, you may not be able to create a very nice paint. After painting, please leave the paint to dry.

Many of you have been asking me, how I get inspired to paint, where did I learn it from, how to market my painting, and so on

I taught myself how to paint, I also watch youtube videos. You can market your paintings by word of mouth, telling friends and family, social media, advertising online, and so on.

I  make and sell the painting, offer workshops too. Please contact me f you are interested to work with me. Are you a professional artist, would you like to coach me on how to create great paintings, please contact me

Rituals Skincare Products 2020!

Hello, my amazing friends and family! How are you? I hope you all are doing well. I have been using rituals skincare products for my skin and also during beauty consultancy for many years. Rituals have great skin care products such as body scrub, mask, shower gel, shower foam, handwash, body cream, toner, air freshener, and more. The shower foam and shower gel of Ritual’s skincare scents very nice, trendy packaging, cleanses the body well. it looks great in The bathroom as well. he rituals sugar and cream exfoliates the body and leaves the skin looking so smooth and soft.

The great thing about the Ritual brand is that is all about Peace, tranquility, the great quotes, vibes is amazing! Rituals have day and night cream too. Amazon also sells the Ritual’s body.

You may ask, why do I need these products? Why is it important to cleanse the skin and repair it? well, it is very important to achieve a better glowing, flawless skin in order to boost your confidence. I am a beauty consultant with a diploma in skincare, perfume, cosmetics, and perfumery!

I am also a mummy. If you an African mummy, you all can ascertain that you tend to achieve darker skin tone, sometimes stretchmark, after giving birth, it’s very normal, because during nine months of pregnancy, the body undergoes lots of changes,  several hormonal changes until the little angel you are carrying in your womb is finally born.

Childbirth is the best and most natural thing that can happen to any woman. As soon as you have given birth to your precious child, please do not neglect your skincare regime, if you do not take care of your skin extremely well, your skin may be damaged, you may suffer from stretch marks, sagginess, acne, and skin discolorations. In order to achieve your skin elasticity and tone, you need to use great skin care products such as Rituals body scrub, body cream, body oil. If you care for your skin properly, you would make your husband and your self very happy because you would feel better, your husband would love your skin even more and all sagginess would disappear!

Everyone has different skin tone, type, and elasticity, applying sufficient cream, oil, and lotions on your skin, would help you achieve smoother skin. Diy (do it yourself) idea to achieve a brighter skin is to use lemon, sugar, and coconut oil, mix it in a bowl, apply it on your skin daily by massaging it into your skin gently to achieve a brighter, smoother skin. Palmer’s skincare lotion is also great for a more clearer beautiful skin

I am a beauty, business, and health consultant in The Netherlands.  I am also a photo model. Please contact me if you need skincare, beauty, a business consultancy with me.

Cool items A Woman Needs In 2020!

Hello, my beautiful friends and family! How are you? I hope you are doing well. Are you a student, businesswoman, young lady? elderly lady? If yes, there are basic items you need to have in order to make you feel beautiful, maintain great hygiene, and feel loved. One of the main reasons I love The Netherlands, and also other European countries is due to the fact you get to find great quality cosmetics, clothing items, makeup, and more. Below are some cool items, in my opinion, a lady should have

  1. Nice clean hair, Do wash your hair daily with nice shampoos such as Andrelon, Rituals or Loreal shampoo.
  2. Makeup such as Dior Lipstick, eyeshadow from Urban decay, ici Paris, Biotherm cream, Nivea body wash and so on
  3. Underwear. Hunke Moller does sells great lingeries and underwear for ladies
  4.  A nice winter jacket, nice shoes, jeans, t-shirt, body spray and at least one good perfume from a great brand such as Dior, Channel, Gucci or Giorgio Armani
  5. A nice per of jeans and T-Shirt
  6. Anice dress
  7. Toiletries such as shaving stick, body spray, face scrub, tampons, face wash, makeup remover and so on

In order to maintain. a great relationship, marriage, or friendship, you need to look tidy and well kept for your loved ones, kids, husband, for the job interview, or for working from home. There is an adage, that says, looking good is a great business.

I do love wearing makeup and nice outfits. It makes me feel beautiful! I started wearing makeup over two decades ago. My makeup look hs changed over the years. My makeup look varies, sometimes i wear smokey eyes, sometimes golden blue eyeshadow, sometimes red lipstick, and sometimes pink. I also love to wear blush, pink or red blush from Mac. Whenever I enter the makeup counter, I am always excited. Eight years, ago, I worked in a makeup shop in Rotterdam, there I tried several lovely makeup items.  It was a great thrill!  I am so happy I can apply my makeup look myself.

I got to learn how to apply makeup professionally about a decade ago at the prestigious beauty school called Beauty Partners. During my studies at Beauty Partners, I learned how to apply makeup on my face, I also applied makeup on several other models, I also learned how to take care of one’s skin professionally ( male and female) such as how to remove makeup from the face, how to steam, apply masker on the face, scrub,  great brands for day and night cream. I also learned about cool perfumes for male and females. I worked briefly for Mooi parfumerie in Rotterdam. I am so happy I spent one good year doing the study.

 

Aside from the diploma I earned as a beauty consultant, I spent five years studying biochemistry in Nigeria, spent roughly five years ago studying international business and management studies in Rotterdam, and then I spent one-year studies for my master’s studies with the University of Dundee in Scotland. In my free time, I coach persons regarding health, beauty, business-related topics.

Would you like to practice English or dutch language with me, consult with me regarding, beauty, fashion, makeup or other topics, please do contact me?

Thank you so much for reading my blog

My Favourite Summer Dresses and Painting 2020!

Hello, my beautiful friends and family! How are you? I hope you all are doing great! Today, I am going to share with your favorite dresses and also my paintings. I have painted some diagrams on the canvas and also done some sketches. Some talented artist has sketched me too. I enjoy wearing nice dresses and also painting on canvas. Painting helps me to feel good!

I do like to shop for the paintings i use for my canvas from Pipoos. I buy the makeup items i use for my face from Douglas, iciparis or from drugstore shops in The Netherlands.

I usually use acrylic paint on a canvas. Please before you start painting, first you need to sketch the diagram you want to paint on a piece of paper, practice makes perfect. Make sure you sketch the diagram properly on a piece of paper before you draw it on a canvas. Action has really nice affordable canvas.  I like to buy nice colors of acrylic paints such as pink, brown, purple, green. These are nice colours to start basically.

Before painting, please soak the back of the canvas, make it nice and wet, before you start painting, that would help your painting look better, prevent the canvas to absolve your painting. Please search on youtube for inspiration.

If you do want to sell your painting, please create nice pictures and share you painting on Instagram, Facebook page, etsy, flickr, 500px, you may be able to sell your paintings on canvas on these sites. Please avoid using water on your painting.

I hope these photos inspire you to start painting today! Please adhere to the tips mentioned above, your painting would come out better if you practice these. Please subscribe to my youtube channel below.

Do you have a protruding stomach, would you like to make it look flat and more beautiful? Please massage your belly at least every fifteen-minute so that your belly will become flat. Please message your self gently on your stomach to achieve flat stomach, i can help you achieve great blood circulation, reduce cellulite,  reduce blotting,  toxins, and helps you feel better! If you massage yourself every day on your stomach, you will achieve a better-looking stomach, the gs in the stomach will disappear, it will improve your digestive system and more! This tip is applicable for male and females. During my biochemistry studies, i learned how the digestive system works in the stomach. Please use bio oil, coconut oil or oil more massaging your self.

I am a beauty, business, and health consultant. I also do makeup, skincare advice manicure, and pedicure. Please contact me if you are interested.

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

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
