OOTD:TRILOGY

Hi there!
How has your week been? Mine has been indoors mostly, I had to see the dentist for a procedure and I also came down with the flu. Yesterday was my first time dressing up in about 8days. I had just been struggling with the coughs and more, but now I feel way better.
I also got my hair braided, the last time I braided was in this post HERE, what do you think about braids? I silently fear for my edges….
Yesterday, I had a meeting yesterday and it was productive, since it was in an informal setting I decided to go with a denim shirt, jeans and heels. The meeting held at ice cream factory Lekki and we had some yummy desserts. I had the strawberry crepe and ice cream, while my clients had the Tiramisu cake & cream waffles.
Just before the meeting I asked my friend Mike to help with some photos as it’s been while I had an O.O.T.D (outfit of the day) post on the blog. I think for a novice he did a good job.

BLACK UP PARIS BEAUTY MASTER CLASS WITH DAVID CORASON-BEAUDU
Posted on February 11, 2016 7 Comments
Hello!
Happy Thursday!
Last week Thursday was a busy day! I had so many errands to accomplish including attending this event. i.e. the Black Up Beauty Master Class. It was an event that I had been invited 2weeks ago by the PR company who organized it.
The event held at Federal Palace Hotel and Casinos Victoria Island Lagos.
The instructor for the day was David Corason-Beaudu a french makeup expert for the brand Black Up.
I have heard about the brand Black Up before and people raved about their products, so I was delighted when I got the invite. Prior to this I had been to their store but the prices were a bit on the high end so I just didn’t bother.
The event was stated to start at 4pm with a cocktail, but I got there 6:01 and they had not started. I met a few familiar faces at the lobby so I settled right in. Laila of Leylarh Cadne and Deola of Omoge Mura were there to keep me company and we had a blast chatting…
L-R: Oma, Laila, Yemisi, Me and Deola
About 15mins later the event started with an exhibit of some of David’s work on models. This part I really liked. I thought it was creative they used the models as Mannequins and they actually stood still all through the showcase. There were five types of looks Read More
7 USEFUL GADGETS FOR BLOGGERS
Posted on February 5, 2016 18 Comments
Hello!
Remember I started a blog series where I share useful tips and information for fellow bloggers. Check my previous posts HERE. Today, I’d be discussing gadgets and devices that have made my blogging life easier. All are affordable and I’ve added direct links for purchase.
1. Chromecast: This acts like a transmitter from your laptop to other screens. A traditional form of this is an HDMI cable. I bought this from Currys but hardly use it since I’m in Nigeria, however it’s so useful when I’m abroad with efficient and cheaper internet services. It’s very handy if you spend lots of time streaming videos and working online. BUY THE NEWER MODEL HERE
2. Tripod : The DIY photography tool. Anytime I have no one around to help with a photo I simply set up my Tripod at my location and shoot my photos myself. For Video bloggers this is a must have, no need to set your camera on tables or shelves, just mount it on the tripod and press record. Which leads me to the next gadget. BUY TRIPOD HERE
3. Remote control : This is cheap and equally functional, instead of setting up a timer and going back and forth for each shot, I simply hide this stylishly in my palm while I click and pose for my photos. BUY HERE HERE
4. iPhone case charger: if you’re not into power packs and always seem to forget them at home, this is a great buy. I was gifted this by my friend Sisi Ope. It’s very useful when I go out or I’m out of power. I charge it through the night and use it during the day. It lasts for about 3-4hours depending on usage. BUY HERE
5. Windscreen phone mount: Awesome for video bloggers. Getting this totally was worth it. Ideal for google maps, FaceTime calls on the go, or my periscope broadcasts. Affordable, sturdy and easy to use. BUY HERE
6. SD card USB reader : This is another great device, I particularly like this because my SD card port on my laptop got bad and I couldn’t transfer videos easily. I found this and all my problems were solved. This is also great for people with multiple memory cards who want to edit materials from both cards. You can slot one in your computer port and the other card in this USB reader. It saves time and makes life easy. BUY HERE
7. Mobile internet router: I made the mistake of buying a table top router which only works when charged. I was told it’d last for at least 4 hours without electricity, but that happened for only a few months. It suddenly stopped holding up. Getting this instead would have been ideal. This is much smaller, discreet and has a good battery life. If you work on the move like me with your laptop, phone or tablet then this is great buy. Ask your Internet service provider for availability
That’s all!
Do drop a comment below and let me know which of these you use or would be willing to purchase. I’d love to know

We’d gist, share personal development stories, play Games, take photos, network and eat! To this note we’d need a venue, Finger foods, desserts and freebies for our gift bags. Brands and persons interested in sponsoring/supporting this event are welcome. Thank you in advance

4 SIMPLE HABITS I LEARNT FROM MY DAD
Posted on February 2, 2016 9 Comments
1.Everyone should be an Accountant: If there’s one thing my father has taught me its financial Excellence. Since I was little, I see my dad on his computer every evening entering his expenditure for the day. If he withdraws from the cash machine he inputs it on his extensive excel sheet. The entry usually looks like this ” Cash Withdrawal N10,000, Ikota ATM”. I used to find it hilarious and unnecessary till I realized it’s an attribute for financially excellent people. In fact even all the family holidays are documented. My Father can provide all the expenses from all the trips in seconds. He has a sheet titled “Family Vacation”. In that document there are things like “Newark 2010″- Feeding, amusement ride, Shopping” etc. Tracking your daily income and expenditure makes you more aware and sensitive to your finances. It allows you to note your spending habits, your saving culture and how you can be more prudent with your money. More so, it allows you to plan accurately for your responsibilities. Tuition, Tithes, bills and other recurring expenses will become staple in your books. If you’re someone who would like to create a budget this would also help you have a clear picture of how to draw up an accurate on. Read More

8 NEW NATURAL HAIR PRODUCTS I’M USING!
Posted on January 21, 2016 6 Comments
1. Cantu Hydrating Cream conditioner for Natural hair: I love love this product! It gives my hair amazing slip and wakes up my curls. It’s very moisturizing too. I use it right after I’m done shampooing and it’s just lovely. I use it to detangle and add my deep conditioner to retain moisture. I leave this product on for a few minutes and rinse it out with cool water. The smell is great and is worth every penny!
2. Curl Care Rehydrating shampoo: This shampoo doesn’t lather as much as I’d like, and neither does it soften my hair, but I think its more of a cleansing shampoo. It’s free of sulfates and parabens and even though I’m not rigid with ingredients I’d use whatever works. When I was done washing, my scalp felt clean and had a tingling feeling. It’s fragrance is some sort of berry and mint. Read More
