As they say, Saturdays are for weddings. If you want to attend a Nigerian traditional wedding here are some of my favorite Nigerian traditional wedding outfits. From the color to the styling and fit, everything looks great on all the ladies. Honestly, Toke Makinwa looks really great in this all-black outfit. The Nigerian traditional wedding is the accepted form of the wedding in Nigeria, white weddings are just for formality but it is a must that you go through the traditional wedding process and looking all amazing, making a statement has become a thing amongst the Nigerian brides.

SARS officers profile youths largely based on appearance; mount illegal roadblocks, stop and search, arrest without warrant, rape women, extort young Nigerians for driving exotic vehicles, and using iPhones.
Comedian Steve Chuks said
I’ve been a victim of SARS brutality way too many times in this country and for what? Being a good looking young man that dresses well... isn’t that madness??
These men don’t serve us rather they brutalize and traumatize us constantly without fear. Nobody talks about the PTSDS we have talk less of the deaths. THIS IS MUST STOP! We must win this fight against their brutality and injustice!
Kudos to everyone out there protesting and everyone online tweeting and posting. Please do not stop! Do whatever you can to lend a voice! #EndSARS #endpolicebrutality #endsarsbrutality 🇳🇬 🇳🇬.

Sherpa lining,” in the garment industry, refers to a polyester lining with a deep pile and large, fuzzy “naps” that give it a bumpy texture. The overall effect is similar to real sheep's wool, but Sherpa lining is lighter weight, much less bulky, and faster drying.

Named after the Sherpa people of Nepal, the Sherpa fabric resembles the wool-lined clothing worn by the tribe. However, contrary to what the Sherpa people wear, the fabric is typically made of pure cotton, a synthetic fiber like polyester, or a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers.

Why is Sherpa so popular?
Another reason for the growing Sherpa trend is that the oversized or puffier look is becoming a thing that people live for and adding Sherpa to inner parts of a jacket or even the lining helps obtain that look. “Comfy, but cute” is also a major style trend.

Yesterday was fun. I was walking when I saw these performers in their nice costumes performing. I joined the fun briefly and took photos of them. It felt more like a live show of singing, acting, and dancing. Kharkiv is a city full of surprises, people, and events. Summer is gone, fall is here and winter is fast approaching lets all have the best of the moment before we all get covered up in our winter jackets.

Ending a relationship can be easy or hard depending on the situation surrounding your breakup. Sometimes people get emotional while others get hostile which can lead to different outbursts. Trying to prevent this would be the best option.
In today's mental health question and answer session, share your opinion in the comment session below.
How best can a person end a relationship with a violent, controlling, and obsessive partner?
Relationships nowadays are like clothes people change everyday and it has become a norm in recent times. There is the freedom to love and move on if things are not working out but how do you ensure that in your next relationship you do not get your time wasted again.
I have put together tips that can help you understand a person before starting a relationship with him/her.
1. Understand yourself. When you know yourself, you understand what motivates you to resist bad habits and develop good ones. You'll have the insight to know which values and goals activate your willpower, tolerance, and understanding of others. Your awareness of your own foibles and struggles can help you empathize with others. (Ref: psychology today).
2. Never accept or give excuses for things you did not accept in your previous relationship because at the end of the day those things will end up ending the relationship in the long run.
3. Be you. Being another person is more taxing. Be you and let that person see you for you.
4. Be open to every conversation. This is one of the best ways of knowing people's beliefs, way of life, and thinking. This will help you see if there is a need to even take a step further to end it right there. Be patient during the conservation, do not force your opinion on anyone, be calm and accept anything the person says because that is what he/she beliefs and so it is better to allow them to air their views and beliefs to the fullest.
All my life I saw my mum used the native red oil to make meals such as soup, stew, etc. Red oil also known as palm oil has a unique taste, especially when the oil is freshly extracted from palm nuts. It tastes great and gives your food a nice appetizing aroma.
If you are familiar with the red oil but do not know the health benefits, here are the health benefits of using palm oil to cook.
Brain Health
Palm oil is an excellent source of tocotrienols, a form of vitamin E with strong antioxidant properties that may support brain health. Palm oil may help protect brain function, reduce heart disease risk factors and increase vitamin A levels in certain people
Improved Vitamin A Status
Palm oil can help improve vitamin A status in people who are deficient or at risk of deficiency. Studies in pregnant women in developing countries have shown that consuming red palm oil increases vitamin A levels in their blood, as well as in their breastfed infants
Heart Health
Palm oil has been credited with providing protection against heart disease
Acts as a very good antioxidants
Red palm oil contains vitamin E tocotrienols, which acts as a super-antioxidant and the carotenoids in red palm oil also act as antioxidants.
Reference: Healthline
Palm oil is 100% fat, half of which is saturated. It also contains vitamin E and red palm oil contains antioxidants called carotenoids, which your body can convert into vitamin A. In general please note that since it contains fat your intake matters a lot. Your intake determines the impact it has on your health.
Have a good day.
Summer is officially gone. Summer was fun, went by so fast. It's already getting really cold and I can't help but acknowledge the fact that summer is over tho one of the best parts for me, was going out in the evenings and summer afternoons wearing a beautiful dress and looking all fly.
On Saturday, I actually wanted to go out by 4:30 pm. I dressed up, had my face touched up, looking all good and I wore this dress. The weather wasn't exactly friendly but it wasn't so cold when I left the house. I wanted to take photos of this dress so I wore a jacket to cover my upper body but my legs were exposed. I went to a restaurant to have lunch, I had a burger which wasn't the best burger, it was just an overpriced tasteless meal, you can hardly find a good restaurant in this modern time.
After eating I left the restaurant. I took a walk to where I wanted to take the photos. I got there the sun was still shining which helped me stay warm even when I took off my bomber jacket. The funny part of that day was that when I finished taking the pictures, I was trying to control myself from shaking because I was already very cold. Goodbye to summer as we are already in autumn which is one of the hardest parts of the year for me.
Throughout the summer period, I wore dresses that compliment my body type. Femmeluxe is every girl's go-to online wardrobe. They basically give every girl access to the latest fashion trends designs and styles on a very reasonable budget. The striking and most commendable attribute of this business brand is that even though they have free mass measurement patterns, the measurements are always accurate, I mean for a size small you actually get a size small dress that suits you.
I think what makes a dress perfect is the fitting and the style of the dress. This dress has a nice fit which really compliments my body. The color is everything I mean it glitters when you are under the sun and you will love this dress even more. It has a dark color tone but yet so vibrant. This is one of my favorite dresses from Femme luxe.
If you are looking to purchase this dress head over to femme luxe to purchase this Blue Organza Puff Sleeve Plunge Bodycon Mini Dress - Bannon. It is on discount now, go grab yours.
