Winter Makeup, Skincare and Outfits ideas!

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!

Thank you all so much for reading my blog and for watching my videos. Please feel free to drop me a note on what you do like to read about on my blog.

How to Dress Cute During Winter!

Hello muffins! Happy new month! Yes, its almost Christmas, it might snow next month. It is very cold and chilly nowadays. In order to keep your self warm and look pretty this season, these are my  tips for you below, enjoy!

  • Balance a warm, leather coat streamlined leggings that make your legs look slim.
  • On the other hand, if you’re wearing boots, wear a tailored jacket up top.
  • Find a sweater that stays close to your body and falls below the knee. Its streamlined silhouette is a practical way to look chic and elegant.
  • Use different fabrics for winter style with an edge. While it might not keep you warm, a hint of lace or velvet color adds a touch of femininity to traditional sweater fabrics: think a lace short skirt and a wool sweater. Primark has really nice outfits at affordable prices.

Don’t be afraid to play with color. Sure, black on black on black matches, but what about different tones of pink or white. If you an African like me, you may want to add a touch of African prints to your outfit, as a scarf Vlisco has awesome African materials.

Hats helps to keep your head warm, River island shop has some cool accessories for winter such as hat, gloves and scarfs.

I hope you are inspired!

Please share with me your winter looks! I do love to hear from you. New awesome stylish facebook post here

Autumn Hair!

 

This season, I have done autumn fashion, makeup look. Here is an autumn hair look book. I usually wet my hair a little bit before brushing it to make it nice and soft. I love blow-drying  curling my hair too, braids can be a great alternative this season because it requires less blow-drying. I do get my hair inspiration from a YouTube guru Luxy hair founder called Mimi Ikonn.

I’m also considering studying “HOW TO” braid tutorials on YouTube. For Makeup, now it’s Autumn and the nights are drawing in quicker and the leaves are turning brown and crispy, I thought it apt to change up my makeup up a bit (maybe I was feeling a bit daring this day). I treated myself to a new lipstick from the Mac counter, I picked up a dark red colour, I also love wearing viva glam by Rihanna too. For my eyes, I love wearing Lancome eyeshadow, smashbox, Givenchy and urban decay. giggle).

Are you changing up your makeup bag this autumn?

Check out my autumn makeup tutorial below.

I love you

10 Ways To Improve Your Mood!!!

Hello muffins!!!  I was inspired to write this post by a friend of mine! Everybody is different, and everybody has different ways of dealing with periods when they are not in their best mood but if you’re looking for suggestions, you may find these helpful:

  1. Step back and self-reflect. Whenever I start feeling down, I try to stop, reflect, and get to the root of my feelings.
  2. Reach out to someone. I used to bottle up my feelings out of fear that I would be judged if I talked about them. I’ve since learned that reaching out to a loving, understanding person is one of the best things I can do. You can reach out to a trusted friend, partner or relative, it’s ok to cry on someone shoulder. You can discuss how you feel and brainstorm on how to make you feel better.
  3. Listen to music. Music can heal, put you in a better mood, and make you feel less alone, or take you on a mental journey.  I love listening to gospel music, Rihanna, Davido, Psquare, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Coldplay and wiz kid.
  4. Cuddle or play with pets. If you are blessed with pets, that is terrific, spending quality time with a loving pet can instantly make your heart and soul feel better.
  5. Go for a walk. Walking always helps me clear my head and shed negative energy. It’s especially therapeutic if you choose to walk at a scenic location. You may decide to register in a Gym, engage in sporting activities.
  6. Drink something healthy and reinvigorating. For some reason, orange juice always puts me in a better mood and makes me feel revitalized and serene. There are many health and mood benefits of drinking orange juice and other fruit juices. You may also want to drink minted thee or other flavored thee.
  7. Write. Writing is usually the first thing I do when I’m feeling down. It always helps me get my thoughts and feelings out in front of me.  I love writing this blog post to inspire, reach out to you my awesome readers. I do a lot of research, I do ask people some questions such as how to you get better at your job? What are the activities that you engage in to make you feel better, etc., I get a lot of feedback that is how I learn. Please do not be afraid to make new friends, and be open. It’s part of living! A friend of mine always says, you only live once, which is very true.
  8. Take a nap. Sometimes we just need to recharge. I always feel better after getting some rest.
  9. Plan a fun activity. Moping around never helps me feel any better, so it usually helps to plan something fun to do if I’m feeling up to it. It can be something as simple as creating my own vision board or something as big as planning a trip. I enjoy playing with my kids a lot. I also love to go window shopping when am bored, or hangout in the library, with friends, do my groceries, and cleaning your home, cloths, garage helps a lot too because your mind tend to be occupied and you do not get to think about negative stuff.
  10. Do something spontaneous. Some of my favorite memories entail choices I made spontaneously. We should all learn to let go of routine every now and then and do something exciting and unplanned. You may go for a spontaneous trip or decide to spontaneously do 200 meter race, challenge yourself every day, and have something or someone to look up to. You may listen to great motivators such as Oprah, Brian Tracy or listen to funny YouTube videos such as The Ellen show, two and half man and the big bang theory.

Please do share with me tips on how you tend to elevate your mood and feel better when ever you are not feeling so excited, do love to hear from you.

I hope you are inspired.

I love you

AUTUMN IS FINALLY HERE!!!

How amazing! Autumn is finally here!!! I went to Primark few day ago, saw some cool Christmas decorations. Yes, it’s almost Christmas too. Vey soon we all are going to start hearing the old amazing song, jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle all the way! So for as long as I can remember autumn has been my favourite season. In my head it reminds me that we are heading toward the end of the year and it gives me another push to get busy working on my goals for the remained of the year. I also think it’s a combination of the natural change in colours, with gorgeous browns, yellows, reds of the leaves everywhere, and the cooler temperature that I love. I get this slightly weird sense of excitement when I realise autumn has arrived, and my mind starts buzzing with all the colors, styles and outfits that I have been looking forward to digging out. I love layering up, and getting the boots, scarves, and jackets out, (SOOO many options!) Also I love the feeling that Christmas is around the corner!

Although, am going to miss my pretty colorful summer outfits! Well, we have to wait till next year. If you happen to live in a warm country such as Nigeria, Ghana, well done and carryon with the colorful clothing!

Some healthcare tips, buy some cool scarfs for winter at H&M, primark to cover your chest in order to avoid cold, dress proberly, always have three layers of clothing before leaving the house.

Drink a lot of hot thee. Eat properly, use warm blanket in bed.

I hope these outfits inspires you! I have a combo of summer and autumn look here!

P.s Does anyone of you know where to shop for very cool affordable winter cloths? In the Netherlands, there is a shop called ZEELAND HALL and also dorcas winkels for very affordable cloths if you are on budget. You may want to check out Asos, C&A, primark, H&M, Newlook and Van Haren for shoes

I love you so much!
