LILY OF NIGERIA

Hey guys! I hope you are having a great Sunday. Today’s Sunday Funday Recipe is one that I’ve been working on for some time now, and I take full credit of it. If you like vegan meals, or, Jollof Rice you might love this very easy to make Spaghetti. I’ll let you in on a secret, it’s completely meatless. So, if you’re on a meatless diet, this meal is also for you.

Hello everyone! On Instagram , I told you I was going to share the recipe of my smoothie with you here. I am so sorry that this took so long (2 days), my life has been wonderful .  My video app in my Samsung Note 3 is currently paralysed. I don’t know how it happened but my phone has been acting up. It doesn’t play audio files in videos and it fast forwards the video, like, it doesn’t play videos normally. I took it to the Samsung service centre here in Abuja, and they said it has a motherboard problem, and will cost N68,000 to repair. People of God, is it not better for me to add money and buy a new phone? Bottom line, I need a new phone. I’ve been checking out phones that meetup with my needs and I figured that a phone with very high cam/video MP, high RAM, and long battery life will fit well into my life. What a time to buy a new phone, in Nigeria, in this recession . I confess that I was a bit attached to my phone and I cried that ugly cry you cry when you lose someon

When  I reached out to the beautiful Jennifer Gilmore for today's post I didn't know if she would reply . I was blown away by her humility. She's one nice lady. Shout out to you Jennifer, I hope your blog achieves great heights this year. 1. Hello, give us a background about yourself? I was born to a single parent in Fort Worth, TX. After being beaten black and blue at tge age of 4 by my an abusive step father I had to overcome feelings of low self esteem. With rhe help of my parents, my Aunt, my husband, and friends from my congregation I overcame the trauma to be the person I am today. I love teaching!  (See my blog post: Why I Love Teaching under the page Life Lessons to learn mu full background.)  2. As a female blogger, how would you describe the general perception of  your field when you tell people about it? What do you wish is being done d ifferently? Most individuals feel that bloggersare just self centered vain people who take self

Hi Loves! I hope you are having an amazing weekend. Sometime ago, I went to the Nail Studio Victoria Island to pick up some Clinique products, and I eneded up having the time of my life there. Clinique is a high end brand I liked to admire from a distance. It's no secret that their products can be a little bit pricey(I pray one day soon I am able to afford as much Clinique products without batting an eye). However, Clinique products are usually synonymous to quality.  Kelechi, the makeup artist on duty had a field day checking out new products with me.  I loved the Black High Impact Mascara (which you can see here )a whole lot! You can check out other Mascara's here   We got to play around with some concealers, the Clinique Universal Face primer (which until that day I had never tried), and some these lip colours which I selected. I didn't have so much time on my hands that day, so we didn't go through some products. I will definitely be going back to that studi

Quote of the Day: It's Okay to Start Now- Me Hello! Since this is my first post this year, let me start by wishing you a Happy New Year! I have been so caught up with life that I sometimes wondered to myself if I could get back the reins of blogging, or it has gone far off, to the point of no return. I don’t even know if anybody will read this post, let alone reading it to the end or relating to some aspects of it, but here we go. I now live in Abuja. And to be honest the difference between this place and Lagos is wide. In no small terms, it was a rude shock to me initially. But, I assure you that I am getting a hang of the place. I’ve been to about three markets here, and while they can’t compete with my beloved Balogun/Yaba Markets in certain aspects, they are really good I keep finding hidden gems in Abuja markets.  If you know me well, then you must know I have a lovelike enthusiasm for languages. I have upped my French game by registering with the Institut Fr

Hi! Here is the post I promised yesterday on my instagram . So, I recently unboxed my makeup I ordered from Sleek a while ago. I found some the powders I bought a huge disappointment because they were a shade or two too light for me. However, someone advised me to apply, and wait for an hour or two before leaving the house, and the makeup will blend in. Since, the powders are not too light for me. I became a bit discouraged and sad because I was really expectant on the products, and, they seemed like my complexion on screen but different in real life.  The   powder has a nice feel on my face and blends perfectly well with my foundation. I love it, and totally recommend! This is what it looks like at the back. Excuse my nails. I confess that I don’t rely solely on the puff. I use the puff as a sort of applicator, and use my powder brush to complete my look. Watch out for my first YouTube video this week! I can't wait for you guys to s
