Wow, it is then end of another fabulous month; the month of June. Like I always say, I am ever so thankful for everything. I am thankful for strength to run this blog, I am thankful for you dear readers who take the time to stop by daily; I sincerely appreciate the love and support, I do not take it for granted. I am particularly thankful to everyone who takes the time to leave me great feedbacks; your kind words inspire me to do more. Thank you so much.
Let’s be honest, a lot of women don’t like their faces to to look heavily chubby. This may sound vain but it is the truth and nothing but the truth. How did I know? It is from my experience working with women of different ages. All women want their cheek bone to pop. In this post, I will share 3 simple steps to make your check bone pop.
You may have noticed if you read the blog that I do my best to share some motivation with you. Today in my Palazzo pants, I am doing just that again. I only write Motivation on Mondays to encourage someone out there who think they can never be anything or do anything successfully or they are not good enough or unemployed or broke or afraid to go afraid their dreams…..etc.
In my TRAVEL IN STYLE & COMFORT post I shared earlier this week, I promised to share with you today how to pack your luggage smartly, safely and secured when travelling. In case you missed that post, you can read it here, I shared details of what to carry and what to avoid,…
If anyone asks me what is the one thing they should have in their closet for Summer, I would say a white pair of jeans amongst so many other things like a lovely maxi dress, some kind of floral, tunics and a lovely hat etc. Talking of hats, remember I told you I was looking for a hat to buy for summer, I finally got one and would share the styling with you soon.
I do have an amazing Photographer who understands why I do not like to be photoshopped. Why? Please read more to find out….
We have so much fun when shooting together and nothing compares to that girl bond we have on set. Even though we have so much fun when shooting, we learn so much as well. She has actually taught me a lot of things I couldn’t have learnt on my own and some of those things I would share with you in this post.
As I dash away in my little “Romper” and boyfriend shirt, I thought to share some travel tips with you today because I know a lot of you just like me will be travelling to one place or the other this Summer.
In my humble opinion, Summer time is that one season a lot of us in this part of the world look forward to because we get to enjoy the sun and we get a break from work to travel; well for people who love travelling.
I recently ran out of one of my favourite foundations and because it has now become my go to; I had to buy another one. Surprisingly, I didn’t use it for two weeks, I used other ones. Now that I have finally bought a brand new one, I present to you, the Lancome Teint Idole ultra 24 hrs foundation. I also bought the Lancome LA BASE Primer by the way.
Recently, a friend of mine sent me the pictures of the items she ordered from a seller online; when she got the items, the pieces she saw in the photos were not what she received in person. Holy crap right? She was tricked into buying rubbish / fake. She is not the only one, a lot of people have fallen into this trap of fraud where they buy things from online scammers who steal photos from reputable brands to sell their products.
When I wrote the article on HOW to choose the best denims and how to care for them, one of my suggestions is for you to invest in one that can stand the test of time; what this means is to choose one that you can wear over and over again.
When I first heard the saying being kind is different from being nice, I thought what is the difference? Even though the former and the latter are almost similar, there is a massive difference between the two.
It is almost like saying the “maxi skirt“ is the same as the full maxi skirt. The full maxi skirt and the maxi skirt sound alike but there is a difference between the two as well. What is the difference between the two you’d say? I will tell you…..
One of the best things you could do for yourself is to care for your skin (face & body). We all know that the only constant thing in life is change. As we get older, our bodies begin to change and the most obvious part of the body that will definitely get older is the skin. The body would change whether we like it or not!
However, it is been proven that when we moisturise our skin, this tend to slow down the ageing process. For me personally, moisturising my skin is one of my skin care priorities.
Basics a.k.a “wardrobe essentials” (denim, basic tee / white shirt, flat pumps etc) are the pieces you can easily put together and you are good to go. They can sometimes become boring right? I feel that way sometimes, do you? To ensure my basics don’t become boring, I look for unusual ways to style my basics and today’s look is an example of what I mean.
Just like the skin, the scalp produces natural oils that help the hair stay oily. People with extremely oily skin would understand how annoying it can be for the face to look oily again after a few hours of washing the face.
While packing on oil on the hair is one major factor that can make the hair greasy, other factors like hormones and medicines like birth control could cause the hair to be oily.
Impossible was my first thought when I first tried on this cotton dress. I liked it a lot but I thought this mama couldn’t wear this with my boobies hanging out BUT impossible is nothing to me so I worked with it.
But honestly, do you not begin to doubt yourself and your God given abilities when you hear the word impossible flying all around the internet, your office, your college or school and in your home from people you love and trust etc. Do you not have some doubt when you hear impossible?
It is the brows that frame the face, it is that simple! Get it right and you look spot on, get it wrong and you could look a hot mess. If you don’t know how to get your brows done or you have been struggling in the brow department; don’t worry because today, I will show you how to get your brows done to perfection.
Finding a work-life balance as a parent especially as a mum is one of the things I put on the top of my priorities. I work hard just like so many other amazing working women and mums from all around the world and believe me, I am not afraid to play hard and harder if I have to.
On a play day, I look for an outfit that embodies style, fun and playfulness. And today’s look is just it.
Welcome to a brand New Month my beautiful friends!
Grateful, thankful and blessed are 3 words that come to mind when I think of this new month. Of course you know that I am always thankful for you as well. Thank you so much for the love, support, inspiration, motivation and encouragement. Your kindness and friendship means so much to me.
Beauty they say is in the eyes of the beholder! But what if your beautiful isn’t enough? In this “off the shoulder dress“, I created my own beautiful because the beautiful on the dress wasn’t enough.
You’ve just bought this fantastic lipstick after so many reviews you saw / read on it and you just can’t wait to wear it. You wear this new lipstick of yours and it is looking so glamourous on you. After just your morning tea or coffee or lime water, the lipstick is off your lips. Disappointing right? Don’t worry, these 5 simple steps will help your lipstick longer if not all day.
Today, I shopped my entire look from my closet! Have you ever opened up your closet to pick out what to wear and the only pieces you reach for are your favourite old things? My look today was styled with all things oldie but goodie; I mean from the faded khaki pants to the basic tee to the shoes and bag and to the necklace. Every thing is old but in today’s look, I made them all new; that is what it means to shop from your own wardrobe.
Slapping on a hat, throwing on some sun shades and wearing sunscreen(sun protection factor) may be 3 of the obvious things that comes to mind when we talk about spending time in the sun or on the beach. Well, It is way more than that.
I do miss home because of the very many times I could wear the colourful Ankara print and the ever so sunny weather. Once the weather warms up around here, I look for every reason to wear the print and today’s look is no exception.
In case you are wondering where is home, I was born and raised in Lagos-Nigeria where the sun is like the second skin. I now live in Ireland with my husband and kids.
For a girl like me that was born where the sun is like the second skin, Summer time is my favourite season in the year; if not for anything, it reminds me of home. There is a problem however; I do have a combination to oily skin which means my T-zone gets oily very easily; it gets even oilier in the summer time. That sucks right?
One of the reasons why I blog is to be able to connect with people from all around the world. Thankfully I have been able to connect with blog users / readers from more than enough countries. As far as Australia is to Ireland, we have people who visit the blog from there daily. A massive thank you to all the Moj in Touch readers from far and near. Much Love to you.
