LILY OF NIGERIA

Good evening my Lovelies! What have you been up to this weekend? Today's blog post is a brief one, more like a check in. As you noticed from my instagram , Saturdays are for taking stock here on the blog. Here's a little summary of my week. Planning: next week's posts. Marvelling: at the greatness of my God. I Need: to stock up on necessities. Hoping: to meet with brands for so many business collaborations, and work. Making Progress: using Google's Snapseed. Learnt: somewhere, someone is watching, and I must not let them down. Still Learning: how to be a better blogger with more quality. Click to Follow Me on Bloglovin   Thanks for stopping by guys. Have a beautiful new week! See you on Monday by God's grace. Wishing you happiness and peace, Alexandra.

" Please remember, no African time. I want all my friends to arrive early so we can take pictures." She said Hi guys! Welcome :) how's your day going? Before today's post let me fill you in a bit on what I just did. I watched the entire live session of the OJ Simpson Parole; I even tweete d it. In a way, I was happy for him(in that he can spend his last days in the midst of his family and friends). A lot of people haven't quite forgiven him for the jury's decision in his 90s trial (very obvious from the way some CNN commentators flogged the already litigated issues). Comment your thoughts on what you think of the approval of OJ Simpson's parole.. I can't believe it's one week already since we turned up for my colleague's call to Bar Dinner. If you follow me on instagram , you'd have seen a sneak peek of today's post. Yup! I've been posting pictures on instagram for a while. I couldn't more proud of her.

Hi Loves! Welcome to another blog post of mine this week. From my analytics, I noticed you like beauty posts... Today, I'll be teaching you a technique I sue in keeping my nail polish on for a longer period of time without chipping. Whenever the Spirit leads, I get a pro manicure. And if I have something serious ahead like a party or a wedding, I'm deffo getting them done professionally. I might do an acrylic fill which is my now defunct signature French Tips. In the absence of any of the above mentioned reasons, I like to paint my nails myself. Usually, I decide on the colour, pattern or theme for the week. File your nails gently if they aren't in shape. Dust off. If you have tape, cut a long piece into slender/thing pieces and stick them around your nails to avoid the nail polish giving you extra work after painting. The next step will be to apply a base coating aka nail hardener aka invisible/clear polish. Allow it to dry a little. Apply your chosen

Hello my Lovelies! How have you been? It's been one week since my last post. I'm so giddy,and can't wait for yu to see what I've been working on behind the scenes.    Hint: Gotta give all those models and youtubers some more respect yo, it's not easy! By the way, if you've never checked out my YouTube Channel Lily of Nigeria you can do so here Do you ever get into that semi travel panic mode of what do I wear! I used to, until I found my groove, which is basically anything that gives me peace and comfort; which includes ease , in case i need to use the loo. However, lately, my go to outfit has been this denim on denim look and my trusty royal blue flats... In the realm of fashion for some years, denim on denim was regarded as a fashion faux pas.   However, I remember a picture of Sade Adu rocking this trend and totally nailing it. To be honest, Sade slays anything she puts on. My travel outfit always has to abide by the rule

Hello Loves! Glad to have you here, welcome to today's post. If you missed the last one on Saturday, you can catch up by clicking here Have you noticed the new things on the site? Actually, they're not really new I've had them here for a while now; I just tweaked them a little, you know me... We're knee ankle deep into summer, and well some of us need inspiration on what to wear to the office. This post is about how I style this red and black plaid skirt to the office. I waited close to 8 years to be able to wear this skirt becuase I used to be fat. It actually has a jacket, but the jacket is too big for me now so I use my black blazer(which I forgot at home when I went to shoot) with it when necessary. First Look:  I use a not so see through black long sleeve chiffon top. It's definitely a serious look for an uptight office. Sometimes I complete this look with my black flats from Dunes. Second Look: I mostly throw on my black jacket when ro

Quote of the day: Don't worry if plan A fails, there are 25 more letters in the alphabet- Anonymous. Hi guys! Good evening :) I trust your weekend is going well. I finally got better, thus this post(the doctor said something about a vitamin deficiency). Y'all probably thought I pulled a now you see me, now you don't stunt on you again. My life constantly evolving for the best, and I'm adapting quicker than I ever imagined I would. I've decided to keep this post here as a reminder that I'm human, and things do happen. Before we continue, I want to say a big thank you to Blogaratti, and Gail for checking in on me. Saturdays are for taking stock. Remember the first one? Ha! If you haven't seen it, you can read up here . I am: Learning : to apply the "if they don't know you personally, don't take it personal" mantra. Embracing: my new office. I got redeployed to the legal unit of my office, how great is my God!
