REVIEW: BRAZZERIE RESTAURANT BUFFET | FOUR POINTS BY SHERATON

I remember I promised a ROBUST review of the Buffet I had (been having) at the Brazzerie Restaurant, Four Points by Sheration, that was way back in November 2013. Be prepared for the food overload you'll get in this post, if you never chop today, please stop reading right now. Or else....you go chop your screen. I've been here about four times now, the first time while I was trying to take photos with my olejugbuma camera, one man asked why I was doing it, I explained to him that I was a blogger, so he told me his wife was a food blogger too, that's how I got introduced to KitchenButterfly. Check out her blog. Her husband was so nice, he kept suggesting the best angles to capture the food well, the kind of gymnastics I did that day ehn... Thank you Sir! LOL.

WARNING SIGNS YOU’RE IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP!!!

When we think of abuse we just mostly assume physical abuse but abuse comes in different forms, 6 are major: emotional, physical, verbal, mental, economic and sexual abuse. This week on Instagram a beautiful model shared pictures (below) and stories of how she was physically abused, her injuries were horrifying but that is not the worst we've seen.

Do you remember the recent case of Mr. Arowolo that stabbed his wife more than 20 times, killing her and claiming she fell on the knife or something ridiculous like that? I bet that was not the first time he tried to hurt her. We need to learn to study the warning signs, everything isn't covered below but they are definitely alarm bells that need to ring. If you have any more tips, please leave them in the comment section.

NATURAL HAIR BRIDES... GET SOME INSPIRATION!

Source: The Lingerie Addict

I have been asked so many times, will you wear your hair natural on your wedding day? and honestly... I don't know! I love my natural hair and if properly styled I would love to! 

There various things to put into consideration if you want to wear your hair natural for your big day:

• What look you're going for
• The length of your hair.
• Your groom.

I love long flowing hair but my hair is nowhere near that, which is why I am not sure what I will be doing, but if you're thinking of wearing your hair natural for your wedding you should take a look at the pictures for inspiration! 

Which is your favourite?

7 THINGS YOU MUST NOT DO ON VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Valentine's day is only what... tomorrow! Yikes, it's so close! I know the tension people are facing, did you buy a gift yet? was it expensive? do you even have a val? don't go crazy over this one day event which we should ideally celebrate everyday, whatever you do, you mustn't do these things listed below!

DON'T GO BROKE: It's silly! You cannot spend all your money expressing love on Valentine's day.  You go soak garri oh! Valentine's day is not about how expensive it is but how expressive it is! Just your actions can be enough as compared to spending all your money, little acts of service and consideration would go a long way. Love is not equivalent to spending money.

DON'T BE TOO EXPECTANT: I know so many people that have been praying for this day since last year, majorly because of what they anticipate on this day, their expectation level is so high that if they receive anything short of it, it would be a complete disaster! Stop second guessing what the other person is going to get you, stop with hinting, let them express their love how it comes naturally to them! You may be setting yourself up for disappointment if you don't. Keep calm na just Valentine's Day!

"I GOT RAPED DURING NYSC": READ OLUWASEUN' S ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED TO HER & HOW SHE OVERCAME!

Hello guys, today I'm introducing to you this awesome lady who shared the story of how she got raped, how she has overcome her past and how she is actively doing something positive to prevent more issues like this. So many victims of rape do not tell anyone and live with it for the rest of their lives...please go trough the story and share it with your friends. Thank you Oluwaseun for sharing your story with us.

Please tell me about yourself: 

My names are Oluwaseun Ayodeji Osowobi. I am from a family of five (parents inclusive). I was born and bred in Lagos State but originally from Ogun State. I had my primary, secondary and tertiary school education in Nigeria before I went for my Master's Degree in the United Kingdom.

What did you major in?
I gained a Master's Degree in International Relations; specialization in Gender Studies.

What do you do?

I am a gender specialist, an advocate against rape and the coordinator of the initiative Stand to #EndRape -- @StandtoEndRape.

Can you share with us what happened to you?

It was during my NYSC days in Rivers State, Port Harcourt, when the election period was on. A prospective senatorial candidate had approached me to register underage children, in order for them to be eligible to vote. I totally disagreed and the community members were not really happy about this incident. The end result was that I got raped by a community member.

Do you know the person that assaulted you, was he arrested?

Yes, I know him because I had met him one of the registration days. I think he even came to register (to be eligible to vote). No, he wasn't arrested because when I decided to report to the police, the requirement for evidence they requested for was bizarre.
