NEW PRODUCT ALERT !!!!!! - VEGETABLE(S) SECRETS

Hey loves, hope you're all doing great? Well, as for me aside a little accident I'm great. For a while now with my continued long stay in Europe, I began to realise that my skin got more and more sensitive, with the strong changes in weather conditions and especially the cold season (winter). I also realised that my skin got more irritable to chemically based products as time went by. Now don't get me wrong guys, I'm not saying that there are people who chemically based products don't agree with or that we all can't use them. Any who, I decided to start using bio based products ( Mind you though France is purported to have very good cosmetics in the world, but most are not tailored for black skin. That said, I went walking on one of those days hunting and testing products from store to store (Don't judge me) and I walked into Saga store. Please allow me to introduce you to Vegetables secrets. Skin products made purely from vegetables. That's a first right? I got the Tea tree toner which is sans alcohol and so refreshing. Used before and after you take a shower or clean your makeup. And boy does it get squeaky clean. Then the serum which helps to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. It's active ingredient is tomato or carrots ( comes in 2 different types) and both are amazing. The face moisturising cream made from tomatoes should be my favourite of all the product range. Used after cleaning and applying the face serum.  And lest I forget the one which replaced the Mac Fix+ for me is the Unifying sparkling dew made from artichoke ( Can you believe that? Insane isn't it? *smiling sheepishly* I know). And that's how my love affair with these products began. I'm on the third set right now and for the price. Unbelievable!!!!.

SOOOO PINK !!!!!

Hey ladies and gents, how are you all doing today.  It was one of those days when I wanted to have a full pic taken of my outfit and it just wasn't happening for me as i'm neither a photographer nor can I perform astral travel to be in a million places at once, so my boo was my photographer today and I must say it was one hell of a photoshoot. Hmmm..... I bet y'all can imagine what went down during the photoshoot. Between arguing and quarelling on how to place the camera #ohthethingswomendo :) Eventually boo came up with these pics and I fell in love with them #afterallthehassle. The pink top was paired with black pants from mango, gold damask blazer, shoes by minelli summer of 2013 wristwatch by Fossil and of course sporting my natural hair of course in a twisted weave. Happy viewing.

Love,
xoxo

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Hello blog lovers, Here's wishing you a very wonderful and Happy Valentine. Did someone say Yay? !!!!. Well I'm sure that's for those who've got someone special in mind. I was really touched by a poem and an excerpt from a wonderful person whom I follow on instagram @nhn_couture. She gave her story of true love in a nut shell. Each time you look at her pictures you see a genuine smile that comes from the heart. It shows a fulfilled woman and a happy home. I've never met her neither has she me but I sense a good soul when I see one. I'm not saying this for only the women, but to everyone of us married or not. Valentine's day comes everyday it all depends on if you want it that way. The key remains loving oneself before you can love someone else. Don't hang onto that relationship out of desperation or imagine that there's no one for you. Don't stay there because your friends are married and you're not, don't imagine that because you got pregnant by him or her that it equals marriage. No, love is all about loving oneself first before you can love someone else " Love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:39. If you haven't loved yourself how can you love someone else. You know someone whom I was dating a while back told me that without him I was nothing. I asked myself throughout the course of that relationship what did I do or how did I portray myself to warrant that kind of statement and It hit me, Most of us put ourselves in that vulnerable spot that our weaknesses become another person's weapon. Need I say I left that relationship to see the nothingness I would be and today I'm happily married to the most wonderful man in the world. He who God ordained for me and I have no regrets whatsoever neither do I see the nothingness anywhere. I am who God says I am. So darlings have the most beautiful, wonderful and memorable valentine's day celebration ever and never doubt God's ability to do all things. xoxo :) P.S You can look up nhn couture @nhn_couture on instagram

PHYNOFINO- NIGERIAN ARTIST, RAPPER EXTRAORDINAIRE

Well many would be asking , wetin come be your own for this youtube video,but leave matter, my own dey there.  Over the years I've seen myself grow to love the Nigerian music scene and even the stars. Yes, they are according to the French "Il faut penser a ceux qui vient de ton ventre". And that's what I'm doing here. I'm giving a shout out to Phyno aka Phynofino. I got to discover him via Facebook though a former FGGC Sagamu school mate shout out to Amaka Oguchi "Pro Unitate". Ever since then I've been watching this brother and nwa afo -igbo grow and distinguish himself. His genre of music and beats has no match. He is unique, single- handedly raps straight in the igbo language which happens to be the most difficult language to learn in Nigeria. He is the man to watch people. Shout out also to my other brother who has changed the highlife scene also. I'll be doing my piece on you very soon bro @2niteflavor.

So loves, I'll be seeing y'all mgbe n'adi ro anya m e en

TARTAN CHECK SWING PRINT DRESS

Hey loves, I just got this beautiful dress. Well it's beautiful in colour but I was disappointed after I received it from the site. I saw the dress on @the_stunningandelegant on Instagram and I fell in love with it. It was in red and I decided to go for the green. So the material is stretch which I'm not so fond of. I was thinking well it was jersey or cotton but then...... So what do I like about this dress it's mostly the color. I accessorized with my custom made jade ring and pair of Italian court shoes. Its pretty cold here in France so I wore leggings to keep me warm. Of course sporting my afro hair which I'm loving at the moment. If interested in purchasing the outfit you could contact me via my links in bio or you could purchase it directly from  ‪ CLICK HERE by purple hanger‪‪. The dress is relatively short so make sure you go two sizes higher depending on the look you're going for. Have a beautiful mid week loves

xoxo

PINK FLOYD

06/30/2015

Hi y'all, here's a make up look I created and I fell in love with myself ( feel my head swelling). Anyways I thought the look was great and beautiful too and I was actually in a hurry so the outcome kindda surprised me.  I used the benefits stay don't stray concealer both as a  an eye shadow primer and  concealer. Using my opal eyeshadow which I got from a douglas parfumerie now nocibe here in France called Technics make up. The quality of the make up ranging from  the eye shadows to blushes are hallucinatng considering the price I got it for. Okay enough gist about myself before i become a peacock (shaking my head foolishly). I decided to go for a nude lip using the maybelline color sensational lipstick in afternoon tea (old collection) you could get a similar one in their nude range. And of course hair was in crochet braids which was done by yours truly. Anyways have fun with this look . happy viewing.........
