Anyone visiting Nigeria yet? well whether you are visiting or you are living in Nigeria you need to get the Isana white body creme. Nigeria happens to have one of the best weather conditions I have ever experienced. We have different seasons which includes the rainy season and dry season. We are currently experiencing the rainy season which is not my favourite season. Some states experience heavy rain pour while some experience mild rain pour. I am currently in Abuja which experiences heavy rainfall and sunshine. When it is not raining, the sun is all out playing and so due to the weather change the type of body cream you use on your skin is very important.



This is a short story about a king who loved his kingdom just as much as he loved his daughter. He was very fair to the people of his kingdom and treated everyone equally. Later a tragic event befell the kingdom, and the daughter needed to stand for the kingdom using her skills. The princess was captured and it went from happy to be a sad story.

Focus: The focus of this book is based on a story of love, care, slavery, skillfulness and happy ending.

What I like about this book: The words which were used are easy to understand and the simplified to primary level.

Talking about moisturizers, I haven't really used a lot because I try to narrow the kinds of products I use to brands that are more trusted and contain the right contents in the correct proportion. I was introduced to this facial moisturizer by a friend, and it became a game-changer. I hardly pay attention to my skin, but recently more efforts have been channeled into mild skin routines, and the outcome is worth sharing.

Routine: I wash my face with a mild baby soap or face wash. I allow my face to dry with natural air, and after drying, I apply the Ziaja moisturizing cream and cocoa buttercream. Massage the cream in a delicate way.

Ziaja Light formula cream with Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E (I recommend for dry skin). This happens to be my favorite product from the brand. This face cream is very useful, and this brand has different products that I use. I might not be able to review or share them on my platform, but you can find them online and at any cosmetic store near you. Cocoa butter is generally good for the skin as it nourishes it because it contains antioxidants. It provides the skin with beneficial nourishing elements that keep the skin moist and bright all day.

Revitalization: After the night wash, I apply it to my skin, and in the morning, my skin looks healthier and smoother. There is a general improvement in the appearance of my skin. It reduces skin irritation but does not exactly remove spots. If you have spots, they start looking faded after long use of this face cream. This product is also said to help prolong a natural tan.

Ziaja Cream For Face and Body

Ziaja Natural Olive Cream (which I recommend for oily skin). The texture feels a little different from the cocoa butter formula. It has a lighter feel and dries up faster. Helps to maintain optimal moisture levels. Softens and smooths the skin. Ensures an immediate soothing action. Paraben-free.

Key Ingredients: Olive Oil, Shea Butter.
Apply a small amount of cream and smooth it over with a delicate patting motion. It is recommended as a makeup base.

I have been able to stick to my night and morning routine, though sometimes I get really lazy, and I am sure you all can relate.

Note: Please recommend any spot-removing product. Drop the purchase link or product name below.

ALWAYS WEAR A WRIST WATCH.
A wristwatch is part of my daily accessory. Not everyone likes wearing wristwatches and so some might have more wristwatches than others. I own more than 10 pairs of wristwatches, so I will like to know how many wristwatches should a lady own?.

Gold wristwatches under budget.
You should always wear a wristwatch. There are wristwatches available at different prices.

This dress is a gift from my mum in 2016, I always wanted a dress like this. The dress has a playful design which made it look artistic. It is colourful, elastic and versatile. I will try to create more time to restyle and show off some piece my mum got for me. Sometimes I wonder how my mum knows what I want, even when i am away, she gets the best chic styles when it comes to clothing's, most of my Ankara outfits my mum picked the styles, her choice is always on point. Actually, I wrote this post on the 21st of April 2016. I felt I could do more with this dress and so I decided not to post these photos. Anyways I went through my draft and decided it caught my attention. 





The direct purchase link is not available but you can pick from below graphic art print dresses.




Avon as a brand has products that really suits me. A lot of people tend to go for brands that sell for higher prices thinking it's much better but sometimes that is not the case. Before and After applying my makeup to get a clean flawless long time look I use the Avon Magix prep and set spray. It holds my makeup together for a very long time. I remember staying out all night. I had to attend an event with a friend and also travel the same night. We had so much fun and immediately after the event we boarded a travel cab to another city at midnight. We still had our makeup on from the previous day and when we arrived it was still intact, no shift or caking. We specifically kept an eye on the (Avon setting spray) not the Magix prep and setting spray but it also has the same effect. The mark prep and set spray were later released as a milder formula in my opinion.  

How to use
 Before applying your make up prep your face with the Avon Mark Magix prep and set spray and after (Blend in your foundation very well) your makeup application. People complained of a mask-like feeling after applying the Avon setting spray which is totally the same feeling you get when you apply makeup make up setting spray in large quantity than needed, tho Avon setting spray was a little more intense because it was made for both normal skin and especially those with oily skin to stay matte all day. The quantity you apply now depends on the intensity.

The Mark Magix spray is a milder formula but still holds for a long time. Spray from a distance (7-10 inches away from your face). Do not apply to your forehead area. The effect is very good. It is one of my must-have makeup product. I totally recommended you use it in moderation. 2-3 distant spray is totally fine to keep your face matte and intact all day.
If there are words for Him then I don't have them. My brain has not yet reached the point to form a thought that could adequately describe the greatness of my God. My lungs have not yet developed the ability to release a breath to breathe out the greatness of his love. My voice is so inhabited restrained by human limits that it's hard to even sing the praise that he deserves. if there are words for Him then I don't have them. My God is grace is remarkable, merciful are innumerable, strength is impenetrable, he is honorable, accountable, faithful, he is unsearchable yet knowable, indefinable yet approachable, indescribable yet personal, beyond comprehension, further than imagination, King if every nation. If there are words for Him then I don't have them. Trying to capture the one true God using my vocabulary will never do. This is an expression of worship to a savior who is both worthy and deserving of my praise. My heart will bless his name forever. He has defeated me in my rebellion, conquered me in my sin and welcomed me into his presence. Followed me with mercies in the morning and journeyed me grace in the night.

Let's talk about the current issue going on in South Africa. Honestly, it bothers me being that I am a Nigerian and the citizens of Nigeria are also involved tho this is broad and involves the citizens of other countries which also adds up to my pain. 




Xenophobia is totally unacceptable and at this time I expect that we should have moved forward. One thing everyone should know is that we are all one but located in different countries and continents. I am deeply sad and it breaks my heart seeing people die for reasons that don't add up, burnt alive and businesses brought down. How do we explain this type of hatred for one another? how do we move on when we still hate one another, south Africa is fighting the wrong people. This is complete misinformation and it's sad that in situations like this it is still most of the poor/average people living in a society that pays for it. Allow people to shine, how can you be African and hate your fellow African?.
 The question that keeps coming to my mind is, does it mean that Nelson Mandela shouldn't have even gone to jail or fought for their freedom because even after all his suffering and support from different countries in Africa, they are still locked up mentally and that is even deeper than physical freedom. 











Violence is never the way out. Killing your fellow humans is never acceptable for any reason.  After seeing this and how people stood on the streets and south Africa and cheered while a Nigerian man was being burnt humanity is lost.
The blacks in South Africa giving different reasons why these killings are happening right now saying most foreigners come to : 
*Steal their women away from them with their wealth. 
* Foreigners are taking their jobs. 
* Foreigners are being involved with drug lords in the country and so instead of taking down the source, you take down the messenger forgetting that the source is the stronghold. Drugs is a crime and should never be allowed. 
*Foreigners are polluting their country, I wonder what South Africa want Americans to do because the number of foreigners in America is multiple times more than in South Africa. 
*Most of them say they feel inferior because they do better than them in business. 

At the end of the day, it is all vanity. Let's promote peace, nothing is worth taking another man's life. Stop the killing, greed grows and envy blows out. Whosoever has fueled this isn't human, this is not an ordinary situation of citizens of South Africa especially the blacks killing fellow blacks and the main target are Nigerians. Let's pray for foreigners in South Africa and hope for the best.

Happy Sunday beautiful people. How is 1st of September treating you all?
Abuja has always been one of the best cities in Nigeria. This is my opinion and I will pick Abuja over Lagos anytime. I like visiting restaurants with beautiful interior. Show some effort and keep your environment neat and clean, then you totally won yourself a new customer. I got back and meeting my friends felt super nice and we decided to hang out at Tulip bistro to catch up. 





Tulip bistro design is super cute and has different sections, but the section where we sat down which has the flowery design looks bigger on Instagram but in reality, it is a small room. The design is cute, snacks are ok taste-wise, to me nothing so special just cakes, drinks, tea and coffee. Well, I think that was the aim to get something sweet and fast.



 Generally, this place is neat and relaxing. On like some places or restaurants in Abuja. Some places in Abuja you see water traces on the wall and that irritates me so badly, Tulip bistro is super neat and the interiors are also very clean using an eye to judge.


We had cakes which were nice I also I had muffins, which I think is a little on the high side for third-class citizens but I guess the aim of this place is to reach out to the middle class and upper. One muffin cost #1000, a thousand naira in Nigerian currency which is very ok in USD  (2.78) but in my currency it looks kinda a bit high.





We actually wanted to take some photos but they declined and stated that mornings are better for photos to prevent inconveniencing other customers with flashlights. Pretty fair, lol, anyway, I enjoyed sitting out with my friends. I had a good time.
It is summer and we all want to look good while having fun and during travel trips. One very important part of an outfit is the hair, the hair really helps to elevate every look. Wearing nice hair can make you look really extra and nice. 

What type of hair is your favorite? Hair bundles are available for purchase Wiggins hair. There are mode varieties that you can choose from like the lace front wigs, full lace wigs, and Brazilian hair.



Lots of ladies prefer Brazilian hair because of its looks and how it feels. It comes in different quality, the texture and feel are very nice. Wearing good hair makes you look nice and organize. They are available for purchase in all colors, %100 unprocessed virgin human hair. It is said to have no shedding, no tangle, and no smell. Do you know that some hair can make you look disorganized because they keep falling apart and you just keep trying to fix them and that doesn't look nice at all?
It's been a while, sure you all are doing great? Life has been going on and lots of amazing things have been happening. Today's post is centered on how to style white dresses or how to style a white outfit. Styling is pretty tricky but with the right colors, textures, and accessories you will make any white outfit stand out.

1. An all-white outfit is also cool and can be best worn to weddings, bridal showers, and beachside dates. Mixing different types of whites fabrics is a brilliant idea. There are different shades of white and matching them is another way to style the white.

 2. We all know that the right accessories can uplift an outfit and so when wearing or styling white dresses, tops, pants and whatever the outfit might be let the accessories stand out in an artistic way. 

 3.  it's no doubt that white goes so well on a dark skin due to the contrast but if you want an extra pop on a white skin you can tan a little bit but whichever way the styling matters more and how you put your outfit together.

I am very sure that this is no news to many people about the relationship between our skin and the morning sun. Well, for a proper understanding of how it occurs keep reading. The sun contains ultraviolet (UVB) rays that hit our skin cells when we go under the sun, then it provides energy for vitamin D synthesis to occur.

People lack this vitamin but 10 minutes under the morning sunlight every day can help with the right amount of vitamin D. This is important because lack of vitamin D can be linked to the cause of depression, osteoporosis, muscle fragility and weakness, cancer, etc. This is sometimes overlooked but can also help improve your mood and your state of mind. Morning sunshine can make your day and improve your health.


Here are the benefits of sunlight.
Sunlight and darkness both trigger the secretion of different hormones in the body. Sunlight increases the release of serotonin in the brain. The hormone is associated with is said to be associated with boosting our mood and helps us to be more active. Decreased exposure to sunlight can cause a drop in serotonin levels thereby causing your mood to change this can even lead to depression. A good example or practical example is during rainy days, we feel dull and want to stay in bed all day but during sunny days we are so active and want to go to the beachside. This is another reason people gets depressed during winter.
The bohemian dress is a nomadic trend. Bohemian Dresses comes in different sizes and styles. The dresses are effortless and easy to style and wear. They also have a beautiful boho-luxe look some have an elegant silver thread through the Indian Cotton Gauze fabric. The nature of the fabric is that it is a little sheer, can be worn with or without a slip. They are very comfortable. They can be worn all year round, perfect for any occasion. To get that signature bohemian look, wear a with knee-high boot and your favourite denim jacket or throw on some silver sandals and hoop earrings. You can replace the sandals with a cowboy boot to get the western chic. Bohemian dresses can be worn in many ways. Most bohemian dresses are pretty decent, the length of the dresses are usually below the mid-calf and can be worn tied in a knot, hitched up or full length.



Some boho dresses are 70’s Vintage inspired,  some boho dresses have floaty four tiers from the waist with delicate frill detail. The dresses are pretty cute because of the adornments like the unique bells, tassels, and pom-poms added to the dresses. Some are made from soft 100% cotton gauze and screen printed vibrant prints of vintage Indian florals, elephants, and motifs. This incredible dresses can be gotten from Zaful, the styles are very impressive with a full list of design.


When you first get engaged or you decide that it’s time for you to get married, you may often be so excited about everything that’s coming your way. However, you also have to get practical too. Because when the buzz wears off you’ll realize that you have so much planning for you to do now. And to do that, you need to make sure that you’re ready. Here are a few ideas to help you.

Where
To start with, one of the initial choices that you need to make is where you want to get married, and this all works on two levels. The first is where in terms of the country or city. Do you want to get married overseas or your hometown? Maybe even in a different place nearby?

What
And then, you need to work out what you want. Do you want a modern wedding or something really traditional? Do you know what elements of the day matter to you most, or how much you want to spend? This can all help you to work out what you want.

How
Finally, you're also going to want to be sure about how you want to get married. So have that conversation. Do traditions, like in the infographic below, matter the most to you? Or do you want something small and low key? Just be sure you’re aware of all the things that your wedding could be, and choose what’s right for you.

Changing your name might seem extreme, and something you might only want to do if you got divorced or emancipated yourself from your family. However, more and more people are choosing to change their names. Below, you’ll find out why this could be happening and perhaps get some inspiration! 

Changing Your Name Could Give You A Unique Moniker 
Do you think your name is too common? Names like Amy, Louise, Sophie, for the girls and John, Oliver, and Sam for boys are great, but they’re all very normal. If you’d rather have a name that’s a little more unique, changing it could be the answer. Just remember, there’s a fine line between unique and crazy (crazy names will lose their novelty after a while). 



Changing Your Name Could Make You Happier
If you dislike your first, second, or both names, changing your name could make you happier. Think of it this way: we love customizing almost everything else about ourselves. We change our hair color, the color of our nails, add tattoos, piercings, we sometimes even have surgery. Yet our name stays the same? You don’t have to accept it if you don’t want to. 

Finding the right jewelry for any outfit can be challenging. With so many styles to choose from, women often wonder which set of earrings they should select or which bracelet to pair with which outfit. There are four types of bracelets every woman should be familiar with and when each should be worn. 









Bangle Bracelets 
The bangle bracelet remains a classic. This solid jewelry piece features no opening or clasp. A woman simply slips it on her wrist and goes about her day. Multiple bangle bracelets may be worn simultaneously if they are thin. However, for wide bangles, it's best to limit them to one or two. Young women often choose this bracelet style thanks to the typically inexpensive cost and the versatility of the jewelry. In addition, bangles can be mixed and matched multiple ways to allow for even more choices when they are combined. The ideas are truly endless.



Charm Bracelets
Charm bracelets consist of chain and several trinkets that are added to this cord. With traditional charm bracelets, the chain or cord is gold, sterling silver, stainless steel, or another metal. In this type of jewelry, charms dangle from the chain or cord.

An Italian charm bracelet, in contrast, is a link bracelet. Small glass rectangles are then inserted into the links, and the charms with either bracelet tend to reflect one or more aspects of the wearer's personality. However, the Italian charm bracelet is smaller than its traditional counterpart, as the charms do not dangle. Individuals need to consider both styles, as there are times when dangling charms can be a danger to the wearer. When this is the case, it's best to go with the Italian version. 



As an influencer, I come across different agents that represent various brands. People are developing new scamming techniques, and bloggers and influencers are not left out. The irony of it is that influencers can get scammed by fake agents. Popular online stores have a lot of agents and some scammers are aware of this. Recently, an agent claiming to represent Rosegal sent me an email, asking if I will like to be a part of the summer campaign. She offered me items of clothing but I suggested we do an article publishing post and gave her my cost. She replied to my email stating that she will like to start with a collaboration featuring Rosegal products on my social platforms, asking me to select the items I will like to feature and add them to my cart.  I did and sent her the order number. She demanded that I re-order using a link, which I did. She then replied to my email again, asking that I send her the email and login password to my Rosegal account. Mind you, this is not the 1st time I am working with brands that require you to select items on their online store.  I totally knew this was a fraud because if the company was aware that she is an agent reaching out to influencers she should automatically have access to another agent working with the same online store who handles orders and can access my profile without asking for my Rosegal password.






People are beginning to understand that influencers, bloggers, and marketers that know their way around the online (digital) and physical marketing industry stand to gain a lot in the long run and they are looking for new ways to scam them. Any agent working with a brand asking you to give out your email and login password to any website they claim to work with/for is totally fake. If you have used your card or have your card details on the website you are at risk. Be very smart as an influencer.



With that being said, summer is fast coming to an end and it feels bad. Winter isn't my season as you all know. I am happy with the way the sun shines bright on my window in the morning with its rays penetrating into the room. It is a fresh blessing directly from heaven filled with vitamin D.
Today, I am sharing a style post. I have worn this mustard yellow jumpsuit before but I decided to restyle it accessorizing with my vintage bag from Jessicabuurman and Birkenstocks from Czasnabuty.pl. Wristwatch Nicole Vienna.
