 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. With it, you get to reflect about what exactly you want in your life. It helps to remind you and impose these thoughts constantly in your mind. Vision boards work with the law of attraction; as you attract into your life what you see, visualise, think about and speak regularly. A vision board helps you to visualise the life you really want, as you can attach visuals that are similar to what your goals are. Before starting  ...

 I have been reading about these food for a while on the internet and didn't know what it tastes like. Yesterday a friend invited me to hang out and he wanted me to see this little cozy colourful place called Projecto Acai, in Marina.  It's an acai based food outlet where they mostly served healthy meals. You must have read about acai. Acai is a superfood that originated from South America. It is purported to be a superfood rich in nutrients especially for people trying to eat healthy.      Me and my friend ordered off the menu. I picked lemon and mint juice and super salmon bowl with is aosta like a poke bowl. My friend ordered potato and chicken salad with Brownie Amor bowl with coconuts, brownie and walnuts and a blueberry smoothie. The menu items were tagged with interesting names that would peak your attention to try them out. The food were very picturesque and colourful, especially insta worthy for pictures. I liked my super salmon bowl which h...

   It's been a while I wrote about food on my blog. I am going to start blogging about all the nice dishes I have been trying. If there is one thing you may not know about me is my love for food. I absolutely loooovvvee eating. Like I really can't explain the immense joy and satisfaction I get from eating.     The lasagna I ate at restaurant, Café Society , in Dubai Marina, is absolutely one of my best yet. It was my first time trying lasagna made with mushroom. At first in was skeptical about mushroom being added to lasagna unlike the classic beef lasagna, which isn't my favorite though; because I don't eat beef. I prefer seafood lasagna.    I got seated at my table. The waitress welcomed me and was quite polite with a charming smile. She took my orders; mushroom lasagna and sparkling water. I requested for extra cheese. I like to have my lasagna dripping with lots of mozzarella  cheese. My food came in after 15 minutes which wasn't ...

Photo: @tgfromdubai (IG) Many of us moved into the year 2020 with lots of enthusiasm and excitement. Along the way, corona virus came visiting. With plans shattered, life turned up side down, routines disrupted and the normal way of life as we know abruptly altered; all we can pray for is for this pandemic to get resolved. The first call to action in curbing the spread of the infection is isolation or quarantine. A new term- social distancing is now the main deal. Countries the world over went into partial or total lockdown. The UAE, where I live in went into partial lockdown. At first, the severity of the situation didn't hit home for me until Dubai went into full lockdown. With movement restricted except shopping for grocery and medicine only for limited time with Police permit. Staying indoors hasn't been a palatable experience. I'm an ambivert so I do well staying indoors or outdoor which ever way I find myself. But the extended stay indoors with no where...

    Mall of the Emirates  Mall of the Emirates    This post came a little late. I wanted to post it on Christmas day. My laziness and procrastination won't let me live. Anyway, if you live in Dubai, you would know that celebrating the holidays here is so lit! Like seriously! It's the reason why Dubai is one of the top destinations for visitors who like to go abroad to spend the holidays. Everywhere is glittery and sparkly and you would wish Christmas holidays doesn't go away.    Entrance to Marina Mall   One of the pecs of being here during the holidays is the fact that you get to snap tons of beautiful pictures with the countless and numerous beautiful decorations all around the city. From the Dubai Mall area to Marina and JBR, there isn't a shortage of colourful background for photos. Sometimes, I wish I was rich already, lol. I would employ an assistant to follow me about to take me a hundred photos. mirror selfie...

  Dubai is such a beautiful and accommodating city for everyone. Getting to experience the wonderful culture is always something to look forward to. When one visits a new city its always advisable to learn the dos and donts of the people so as not to get in trouble with the law. Here are five things you should avoid while in Dubai. PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION As accommodating as Dubai with all its glamour and openness, you should not go kissing or smooching in public even if you are a married couple.  A brief none- sexualise hug here and there is harmless but don't get carried away. Save all that for your privacy. ALCHOHOL CONSUMPTION  Drinking alchohol in public and non designated locations like park, malls, beaches, etc is highly prohibited. You can get into trouble with the law. If you must then it has to be in hotels where it is allowed. FYI, you actually need a licence to comsume alcohol especially within the privacy of your apartment. EATING, DRINKING ...

Myself and the new Rotaract crews.     My pretty off-shoulder Ankara dress   . 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, ...

Hi,  Happy independence Nigeria, not like i'm totally proud to be Nigerian at this point in time. Naija hasn't given me anything to be proud of anyway. That aside, yeah! It's another week coming to an end and it's always exciting bbecause it's the weekend. LOCATION   I was at this restaurant a few days ago, Casper and Gambini's In Victoria Island. It's close to Spice Route and Mitsubishi show room, at Agoro Odiyan street, off Adeola Odeku. I checked it out with my friend. It was relatively late like 11pm/12am.  AMBIENCE / HOSPITALITY   It's a nice place with an earthy and homely kitchen-inspired interior and beautiful ambience. The waiters were polite and really courteous. They have an extensive and impressive menu, from starters to house special main course. Took me a while to pick my choice. The bush girl in me was looking for something familiar, lol. That's why most times, i'd rather stick to my seafood specialty. It's quick and popu...

   There are countless brands of makeup brushes out there. Picking the best that guarantees your makeup application goes smoothly is of utmost importance. Some of us get carried away by the brand name because of its longstanding reputation. Like I tell people, don't always concentrate on the brand names. What more important is the materials the product is made of. Even a less known or inexpensive brand may have turn out better to suit your needs.  So the question is, how do I know which makeup brush is best for me? Which of these should I purchase? Generally, there are two types of makeup brushes. Natural and synthetic makeup brushes. One may have a preference for the natural or synthetic type. I like to use both alternatively because they work differently depending on which makeup products I am applying on my skin. NATURAL BRUSHES Natural brushes are made from animal hair like sheep, goats,etc. They are very soft and silky on the skin. These brushes are fluff...

   Feels so wonderful to be back in Warri after being away for months. You know, Lagos have a way of getting under your skin and you could almost get sucked into the frenzy. Been living in Lagos for about a year now and I am almost turning into an Eko babe o, lol. But as usual Warri no dey carry last, so am still much of a Warri babe front and centre.    Been a long while I had a road trip. I took a vehicle from the island to Warri. The idea of taking a cab to the airport, the distance from the island and these Nigerian airlines and their unreliability. Your flight getting postponed or cancelled for one reason or the other without any compensation or explanations. We all know how incompetent our local airlines are. You know the routine, so I quietly packed my baggage and all to one transport company. The journey was smooth and bump-less because the vehicle wa fresh and new. It rained on the way and I tried not to sleep but the air'conditioner will not let m...

   Ruby Woo by MAC cosmetics is one of the few lipstick in a shade of red that looks good on all skin tone. And it suits just anyone which is totally great and this should be a must-have for every lady except you don't use lipsticks at all. If not, you have to get one. This is my favourite lipstick. The first day it tried it on, about two years ago I instantly fell in love with that colour. It made my lips pop. Prior to that I never liked red lipsticks. I have really full lips and I felt using red would make it look too big and funny. So I always shied away from any shade of red.  Ruby Woo has a drying effect . For a perfect look, you will have to top it on your lip like 4 times, since it's a matte lipstick. For some ladies, it may feel a bit too dry . But for me, it's ok. I love matte lipstick more than glossy lipstick. The wonderful thing about Ruby woo is that it can stay on your lip all day long without even a touch up and it doesn't smear easily. A few comp...
