OUTFIT OF THE DAY - SPA TIME!!!

nigerian fashion blogger


It's not very easy to grow up into a woman. We are always taught, almost bombarded, with ideals of what we should be at every age in our lives: "This is what you should wear at age twenty", "That is what you must act like at age twenty-five", "This is what you should be doing when you are seventeen." But amidst all the many voices that bark all these orders and set all of these ideals for girls today, there lacks the voice of assurance. There is no comfort and assurance. I want to be able to say, that there are four things admirable for a woman to be, at any age! Whether you are four or forty-four or nineteen! It's always wonderful to be elegant, it's always fashionable to have grace, it's always glamorous to be brave, and it's always important to own a delectable perfume! ” 

NEW VIDEO: K-CEE FEAT. WIZKID - PULL OVER! LOL

When I heard Pull Over for the first time I liked it, how could I not? I was in love with Limpopo and even if K-Cee was singing rubbish I would have still extended my limpopo love to the new song. So I am indeed excited to see the video for K-Cee's Pull Over featuring Wizkid. I love it! 

Seeing K-Cee in Police uniform and then Aki and Pawpaw being a part of it is just awesome, by the way they've both chopped up oh!!! How could I miss out Saka? Ha ha ha ...what a joker!

NO CHANGE!


Yesterday I was trying to make dinner so I remembered I wanted some sweet corn but I did not have any at home, kia kia I drove to the nearest mart to pick one up, I got to the cashier and this all-too-familiar conversation ensued. 

Cashier: No change.
Me: Ok?
She looks away, perhaps wishing in her head I would disappear.
Me: Ehen?
Cashier: No change!



Me: What am I supposed to do? Look for change for you? Why is she looking at me like Lucozade?
Mind you, I gave her 500 Naira, the sweet corn cost 250 naira.
Cashier: There’s no change.

I understand what no change means, what I don’t understand is why this babe cannot comot from where she stand to go and ask her manager or look for change at least! Shuo.

I was looking for where to have a good meal on my birthday and on the day Biodun suggested Ibis Buffet... I knew I had seen the building on Toyin street one time but I had no idea there was a buffet, and whenever I hear buffet, I am happy! All you can eat tinz! LOL. Toyin Street is in Ikeja. Toyin street seems to be the happening place these days oh...new spots opening there, left right, center! Ibis recently opened the Ikeja branch and the buffet starts for 6:00 pm, everyday.

Whoop, whoop! I love Outfit Of The Day posts and hopefully this might become a regular feature. I got this dress a long time ago on sale for about £9, and I never got to wear it. I'll confess, when I bought it, the hem was on my knee cap or just below, now look how high it is? My clothes are shrinking! Help! LOL. I blame 9ja food, nkwobi, isi ewu, asun, shawarmar, suya... sigh!  I didn't decide on what I wanted to wear till the morning... tsk tsk tsk!

NIGERIAN MEN WARNED TO STAY OFF THEIR WIVES BOOBS, SEE ANGRY REACTION!!! LOL

MEN have been advised to stay off their wives’ breasts while they are breast feeding their children to avoid inflicting wounds on the breasts and exposing the children to infection.  

Professor Angela Oyo Ita, the Cross River State Commissioner for Health gave the advice while flagging- off the 2013 Breast Feeding Week at Akpabuyo local Government Area of the state on Tuesday, stated that men sharing their wives’ breasts while they are breast feeding could inflict wound on the breasts and if the woman is HIV positive, the child could be exposed to the infection. 

What is more interesting about this article is the fight for sucking breast; I never knew men were this passionate about boobs, some wan die on top the matter! Who owns the boobs? Baby or Daddy? LOL. Read the comments below.  (Culled from Vanguard)

WHITNEY HOUSTON LOOKS ALIVE! MADAME TUSSAUDS UNVEILS FOUR WAX FIGURES OF HER !! EPIC !!!


 You see, I really really loooove Whitney Houston and her death in 2012 shook me to the core. In my mind I sha believed I would get a chance listen to her sing live, get an autograph and even a hug.. someday! When I heard she died, I locked myself in my room and I was balling my eyes out!!! Bobo was just begging me to calm down, calm down. 

I'm so happy to see this wax of Whitney Houston which was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London. Tussauds New York revealed wax figures from four of Whitney Houston's most memorable moments during her storied career was unveiled October 21 in London.

6 THINGS NEVER TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP!!!

                                                                                                             
“Loose lips Sink Relationships"

Sometimes we tend to share our relationships wahala or joys with our friends, family and sometimes random colleagues. 

There are so many reasons why we do, if you’re riding on the waves of love with le boo, we tend to update our bbm status, update facebook status, ping friends to chat about how AWESOMELICIOUS your boo is and how HE IS THE BESTESTESTEST boo since "booness" began. Most of us are guilty. LOL. Some other times when the ship is not riding smoothly we become inspirational and update with sentimental things that everyone can decipher that, ol’boy, e be like say this one dey fight with her boo. 

ORPHANAGE VISIT - WHAT AN AMAZING DAY!


I've been thinking for a long time...what do I want to do on my birthday, do I want a party? Do I want to travel somewhere nice or do I want to purchase something luxurious for myself...I could not decide. There was even the option of getting married on my birthday, it was perfect. My birthday was on a Saturday but I disagreed to the option because it was cheesy, lol and then imagine, when I'm married I'll probably get one gift instead of getting different gifts and celebrations for wedding anniversary and birthday. As a sharp waffi babe I said no.


KIM KARDAHSIAN ENGAGED TO KANYE: MR WEST PROPOSED! YEEZUS!

Kanye West proposed to Kim Kardashian on her birthday, she turned 33 yesterday... and he rented out an ENTIRE baseball park....awwwwww!


He proposed with a 50 piece orchestra and fireworks at San Francisco's AT&T Baseball Stadium with 'PLEEEASE MARRY MEEEE!!!' flashing on the field's scoreboard screen. Romantic eh?


The Orchestra played Lana Del Rey's Young and Beautiful and then his own hit with Keri Hilson, Knock Me Down . He presented Kim with 15 carat diamond ring by Lorraine Schwartz, fireworks exploded after Kim said yes!


WATCH DAVIDO'S OFFICIAL SKELEWU VIDEO: BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS?

So this is the OFFICIAL video for Skelewu directed by Mr Moe Musa, produced by Tunde Babalola 
and the production Company: Phoenix Global Media. This video was shot in London, UK.  Abeg me I'm not feeling this one. The other one was more colourful and you could see the skelewu moves, but this one is just oyinbo tinz... while watching this new video I kept waiting for the ghen-ghen moment but it never came. The video should have focused on the skelewu dance...isn't that why we're all here??? LOL

LISTEN TO BRYMO'S NEW SINGLE: EKO!!!


I still remember the "epicness" of Ara, that was the first Brymo song I fell in love with... then I quickly progressed to "Good Morning"... I bet you're familiar with that one. There's even a video of a guy that invited Brymo to serenade his babe at work so he could propose, did you see the video? LOL. I wonder if the babe gree sef because she was acting so awkward in that video, but I digress.

Brymo, has dropped his 3rd studio album; “Merchants, Dealers & Slaves (M, D& S)” here's a free track from the album, EkoAccording to Brymo,“The album was written and recorded at a time when my aspirations were at cross roads in a battle against societal limitations and prejudice. My journey into self realization.”

I'm loving this tune already; it's like he's wooing Lagos and just talking about the "Lagos Dream"... "  Eko, no let me go... Eko, your love dey sweet me so...EKO!  I think this just might be the new Lagos anthem. Have a listen and tell me what you think...!

BOBO YOMI COOKS TOO ~ BESTEST FRIED EGGS RECIPE!

Oh Yes Bobo cooks and to be honest he makes the bestest fried eggs in the whole world. His eggs are better than mine! Does your bobo cook better than you?

So we decided to make a video of him showing us his special recipe so that whenever he's not around I can try to make myself some, but no matter how I try it never tastes the same! *Sob
                                    

FEMI & HELENE - A GHANAIAN/NIGERIAN AFFAIR!

nigerian weddings
I looooooove weddings! I wish I could shout this from the roof top of a building. Helene is a friend I met in London through  my *cough cough future in laws and she's such a sweet and helpful somebody. She's the embodiment of black beauty. She glows! I never had the opportunity to meet Femi but if he passes by I will easily spot him because I've been staring at their photos all through the week! With these two you can spot the chemistry...can't you spot it? Hey, look!

Here's wishing Femi and Helene A house full of sunshine, Hearts full of cheer, Love that grows deeper each day of the year... Thanks to the couple for sharing moments of their lovely day with us!

WATCH SKELEWU VIDEO : SHOULD DAVIDO DO A RE-MAKE?

I've definitely been sleeping on this video: when I heard Skelewu the first time I sad "Raaabish!"...after listening a few times the song grew on me and now If I hear skelewu outside, I just put my hand to the front, and my yansh to the back, and I skelewu! LOL. Does it have that kind of effect on you?

Now on to the video, it apparently "leaked" and I heard Davido is not impressed with the quality of the video and wants to scrap this to do another! What do I think? I feel this video could be better and if he does decide to do a re-make it better be 100 % better than this! The video was directed by Sesan who is not pleased that Davido is making negative comments about the video; he is quoted saying "Davido is irresponsible and immature". I love Skelewu regardless. Ske le le le le le...

Watch and enjoy!              

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SISIYEMMIE'S MOMMY: 50!

She's been dancing this morning, 50 is not easy, considering all the challenges of the past; only last year she was kidnapped for 7 days, no food, no water, no shit, no piss. She's still here. It is only by God's grace and this is our testimony! She's humble, playful, gist master of life, my friends who have met her know this!

Saturday: Early mo-mo I arranged for a hair dresser to make make my hair, she came over bright and early at about 6:00am, I was still snoring when she woke me up.  It was a tough decision choosing what hairstyle to do but I stuck with my tried and trusted Fishbone. Here's a video showing you what it looks like - CLICK HERE. It's was painful ehn, maybe because my hair is natural. I've been taking Panadol since Saturday.  Saturday evening mommy came to Lagos! You know what that means right? She will make pots of soups before she leaves...maybe that's why the weekend was so relaxing for me.

[OPINION] IS INDECENT DRESSING THE MAIN CAUSE OF RAPE?


34% of Nigerians think so. 
There has been an increase in reports of rape: I don’t know if there is an increase because there actually is or it is that we are aware lately due to the world becoming a global village i.e technology and social media. 

Regardless, rape is horrible, traumatising and dehumanising! I don’t know why a sane mind would actually do such a terrible thing! I pray no one goes through it!

There are different causes of rape, many factors come into play. Man rape women and in some rare, bizarre cases, women rape men. You didn’t know? Sometimes people are raped by people they trust… other times it is a random attack. It is important that we all educate and find a way to protect ourselves from these situations. There are some situations beyond control and there are some that could have been avoided.

5 SIGNS YOU'RE READY FOR MARRIAGE!

5 signs you're ready to get married
My Friend Simi & hubby
Okay, so I've been thinking; how would someone know they are ready for marriage? Marriage is the biggest decision in the world and nobody wants to make mistakes!!! I think I figured 5 reasons why I think I AM READAAAAY for marriage and this might apply to you too sha. You can list your own reasons/signs below.

1. Maturity: I'm talking about all kinds of maturity here, not just age. You're physically mature, he he he, you know what I mean. You're emotionally mature, able to deal with pressure and challenges. You're spiritually mature. You're financially mature, it is HARD to get married if pepper nor rest. As a couple you need to be able to survive, feed, provide shelter and if you get pregnant, take care of your kids! Maturity on all levels is the koko!

2. Tension: All sorts of tension! Everything na tension! Sexual tension! When I see married couples all I can think of is how much sex they're having! LOL. I envy them! When I hear some ladies complain that "my husband won't let me rest, morning, night...every time"... I just roll my eyes and sink into depression. Abeg, body nor be firewood, am I the only one thinking this? 

REVIEW ~ WHAT DO YOU THINK OF COLD STONE ICE CREAM?

WHERE I WENT
I went to The Palms at Lekki to meet up with my Ada Ada (Ify) aka The Kick... please don't ask the reason for the nick name. LOL. While waiting for her I noticed the Cold Stone Creamery stand, there were lots of people waiting to be served. I've heard about the rave of this place so I decided, why not? All I need to do is jog 10 times around the block to lose the calories! 

Cold Stone Creamery® offers super-premium ice cream and sorbet, made fresh in every store, every day, and served up with your choice of mix-ins. Just how many different ways can you customize your ice cream treat? Over 11.5 million, to be exact!

Within the past 2 years we have had about 9 plane crashes killing people with the most recent one involving Associated Arline's carrying Agagu's corpse. Some people have said it is the work of winches and wizards, for now I shall not comment.

NEW MUSIC - IYANYA "LE KWA UKWU"


Iyanya is out with the official premiere of his new single “Le Kwa Ukwu”. It was produced by DJ Coublon.

I like the song, it  reminds me of these makossa abi soukous type of music, I can imagine it being a hit. The tempo, the beat...as for lyrics, most 9ja songs are the same. "lose control, wind your waist, to the left, to the right, ma lo nogede" e. t. c

If you're wondering what Le kwa ukwu means, it is "look at that bum". We have definitely moved on from "your waist..."

Have a listen and tell me what you think!

STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS!

sisiyemmie videos
Stop Comparing: Live Happy
Why I didn't share this video on my blog, I dunno *shrugs. However, it is better late than never! Some of us always compare our relationships, careers, finances, beauty to others and it's not healthy if it does not inspire you to do better but causes you to be depressed, angry and envious!

Sadly, that is the case most times. The grass always looks greener on the other side, abi? There's always going to be someone wealthier, "beautifuller", "successfuller" than you! Let's get that point. I compare sometimes and  I don't like the feeling I get, it makes me feel "one kind". When you stop comparing, you can live happy! 

[VIDEO] RIHANNA TWERKING IN "POUR IT UP"!


rihanna twerking gif
Rihanna's twerking make's Miley look like a learner! Someone said, "Rihanna is going to lead a lot of us to hell" and someone replied, " are you really going to let her?" You see, Rihanna is sexy, no lie.

It's quite amazing the number of young girls that consider her a perfect role model; they want to dress like her, they want to speak like her, they want to be her! It makes me worry. In her new video, Pour It Up, Rihanna is sitting on a p.i.m.p throne; opening and closing her legs, upside down, twerking on water, laying down with dollar bills covering her body. Watch the video below and let me know if you think it pushes the limits?

My fellow Nigerians, *clears throat*...happy 53rd Independence Celebration!!! Whoop whoop! Oh, you think there's nothing to be happy about? There is. We are still alive, it's not because we're beautiful or intelligent or nice that we've not been killed by either Assasins, Armed Robbers, Stray Bullet, Plane Crash, Boko Haram, Poisoned Kpomo e. t. c

We all have to thank God regardless. It is a shame what is happening in our dear country, I love Nigeria so much, I wish everything would just be okay...if wishes were horses...
