Happy sunday!

 Today was a memorable and exciting day for me. First I was at church earlier. And i kept getting a lot of compliments on my Ankara dress. I had some left over fabrics so I decided to make this simple off-shoulder short dress yesterday.

  I wasn't sure it would turn out too fine but I wore it to church service. Later on, I met with a friend I haven't seen in a long time at Lekki Conservation Center for a hangout with Rotaract club, Lekki.

  It's my first time there at the centre. I have heard a lot about it. It's a wild life and forestry centre managed by the state government and Chevron. They had a big old looking tortoise, walking around and some peacocks. My first time to see a peacock. They were colourful and beautiful. I was told the tortoise was 97 years old!  Woow! That sounds crazy! Unbelievable. When i was a kid in primary school, my mum cooked tortoise meat. And it tasted nice. Now I was thinking this will look good in a pot of soup! Lool.

 First, we went through the foot bridge entrance into the thick and dense forest. We saw some Mona monkeys. Funny little creature. The walk into the grassland was so strenuous. I almost gave up but I can't go back because I'd have to walk back alone. And that's a scary prospect.



  Saw the tree house, the huts, the games area; drafts, chess, volley ball,etc. My favourite part of the whole experience is the grassland. Very picturesque and ideal for picnic and a hidden afternoon getaway from all the hectic routine. I love the quietude and serenity. The freshness and greenery was invigorating. I'd definitely be going there another time.

Using The Bio Oil Silky Soft Lotion With Hyaluronic Acid

 I've been a long time user of the bio-oil product range. If there's one brand in an testify about their efficacy, then bio-oil tops my list. I've been using the oil for more than 15 years and even recommending it to friends and family who are also impressed about how well it worked. I wanted to see how good the bio-oil lotion is. The lotion contains Hyaluronic acid, shea oil, rosehip oil and vitamin E. These ingredients are very good for the skin. The lotion feels very smooth, silky and soft when applied to the skin. It gives this feathery lightness and smoothness that feels so suave and it keeps your skin both moisturised and glowing.  This lotion is very suitable for dry skin. So if you have issues with dryness, then this lotion is the ideal skincare for hydration.

 Happy New Year!  New Year, new moves! I'm sure most of us have goals and visions we would like to accomplish for this new year. At the start of every new year, I list my goals on a paper. But this time, I'm not going to just put them on paper, but also i will also create a vision board in order to attach pictures to each and every goals that I will achieve.  What is a vision board? A vision board is a visual representation of all those things that you would like to see materialise within a specific period of time. Vision boards are very powerful.

Vision boards work with the law of attraction; as you attract into your life what you see, visualise, think about and speak regularly.
