So it’s the last day of 2016, not just to add my voice to
the noise but i must say that this year has been a significant one for me in
more ways than i planned or hoped for at the beginning.
I’m not one for regrets or dragged-out intro/retrospection.
I find it exhausting and unproductive. I believe in analyzing, learning the relevant
lessons and moving forward.
It’s very important to keep moving.
I mentioned some post ago that i achieved a great deal of my
goals for this year, which is more than i can say for the past few years before
this one and i feel really thankful and blessed for how it went down, and determined
to do better going forward.
One key blessing for me this year is clarity about my life
path and purpose that God revealed to me. A lit path and a clear sense of
direction make even the longest journey easier to walk, so i’m more optimistic
about the future than i’ve been in a long while.
I also gained new skills and wisdom, for this i’m very grateful.
I also gained new skills and wisdom, for this i’m very grateful.
Another major blessing for me is my family being alive and
well. I’m ending the year with all of them complete and even gained a new
brother-in-law as my younger sister got married days ago 🙌
We traveled to the village days ago to visit extended family
and for my sister’s traditional marriage. There i was able to visit my grandma
after like over a year and it made us both incredibly happy. I showed a few photos of this on my Instagram @skynotfancy.
She happened to not have any photos of herself at home,
so i got around to photographing her some.
Let me tell you, during the session, i wept inside. I cried
because i love her and aspire to be as good a Christian as she is. I tell
everyone i know that she’s the best Christian i know. Her life is all about
peace with her fellow man, truth, prayer and worship of God.
Also, she’s 90 years old, so i’m more aware of her limited
time with us, so i was also crying in gratefulness for still being able to see
her.
Being able to take photos of her with my camera also made me
emotional. When i unknowingly casually picked up photography earlier this year,
i didn’t know that it will lead me to that point of importance in my family. I
look like her a lot, so it was like i was seeing how i will most likely look when
i’m her age lol. My mother asked me to frame one of the photos i took, in case
we don’t have another chance to take other photos of her.
I told myself at that moment that i will do greater work
with the camera in my hands and the brain in my head.
On lessons, we had read Habakkuk 2:2-4 a few times last year
in church, and i happened to re-read the verses around this time that last year
and decided to do as the verses say.
I literally wrote down my goals for this year with pen and paper. It was the first time i had seriously written down my goals like that.
I literally wrote down my goals for this year with pen and paper. It was the first time i had seriously written down my goals like that.
I followed it up with intentional prayers and guided work
and it worked in my life!
So, here's to giving thanks to God for my life this year and
the belief that 2017, even as it is already looking tight and burdened with big
goals and responsibilities, will be a year that will result in fulfilled
purposes and unprecedented success.
Happy New Year guys. Cheers!
Hi!
Hope y’all are doing great and prepping for the holidays. I
am officially done with the year and CANNOT wait to relax and enjoy the
holidays.
The past few weeks up till now have been really stressful for me
hence the lack of posts here.
Here’s to hoping that the remainder of the year be more
restful and productive for you and me, Amen!
To the outfit, I mentioned in my last post (Taking Stock 10) that I won a N4k voucher in the KacheeTee x Twentysix giveaway, to shop from TwentySix’s website, for
any item of my choice.
I chose this off-white linen kimono wrap-dress that caught
my fancy. It’s minimal and easy-to-wear, which I love. The white color and wrap
style makes it versatile and flattering on the body too.
One key note about this dress that i noticed when i got it, is that the type of linen used is thick and firmer than those common soft ones. The up side to this is that the top wrap part will not fly up with the littlest breeze. The dress stays put against movement and blowing breeze, so no fear of wardrobe malfunctions.☺

On my Instagram and Facebook (follow and like me please!!), I had asked
whether I should style the dress with sneakers (as I am wont to do with every outfit
these days), or with heels to dress it up a little, as per holiday season and
all that.
Most people said sneakers, my spirit said both.
I did what any self-respective style blogger would do, I wore both.

Hey guys!How are y'all doing? preparing for the holidays, right? Me too!
As we progress further into the season, the weather is gradually getting colder and dryer. For those of us here in Nigeria, it will be harmattan season soon and much as I LOVE the harmattan, the cold dry air can do some serious damage to the skin, lips and even hair.
Along with the pleasant sides to it, the season is also commonly rife with drier, ashier skin, brittle, dusty hair, cracked lips and for some people, sore dry throat.
If there was ever a time to pay special attention to your skin (and body, more than normal), it is now.
From my personal experience and years of professional sales and marketing of skincare products, i have learnt that the major key to keeping the skin healthy, youthful and beautiful, is moisture.
Eat it, drink it, rub it on, get that moisture in and watch your skin thrive, no matter how cold and dry it gets.

I am breaking down the things i'm using now, but let me disclaim and say that these are what i do for myself, on my skin, so please proceed with caution if your skin is sensitive or just negatively reactive to any of these items.
1. Vaseline Intensive Care lotion in Cocoa Radiant.
I love this product. A little heavy at first but it dissolves into the skin nicely, without any greasiness left on the skin and palms. The yummy cocoa butter fragrance is a nice plus. I use it all over my body, except my face, after bath.
2. Palm kernel oil.
I don't have coconut oil at the moment, so i am using this. If you are a Nigerian who grew up in Nigeria, then your mother might have used this for your skin (and a little more than required on your face for that extra oily shine that shows that your parents take good care of you 😄)and small coughs when you were little. It's a cheaper alternative to coconut oil and i like the smell too. I use this mostly in areas like my elbows, feet and bum, especially when i don't want to use Bio-Oil, and on my hair too.
3. Shea butter.
The holy grail of African skin care. No need to preach about it. I use it on my bum stretch marks, for massaging any sore muscles, for deep conditioning and moisturizing my hair and on my brows at night (i've heard it promotes hair growth and i am growing my eyebrows back out, so..).
4. Honey.
Oh honey. I use this with some lemon juice as a face mask, with olive oil to condition my hair for strength and shine, with sugar for a body and lip scrub to get rid of dried, dead flakes and for enhancing my tea to sooth sore throat.
5. Ebony & Indigo Lip Balm.
I had been using the good 'ole Chapet lip balm or Vaseline jelly on my lips for ages, but i recently got this nice lip balm from Ebony & Indigo during the GT Bank Fashion Weekend, (as i mentioned on my Instagram). It contains Shea butter and some other nice moisturizing ingredients and mint, so it keeps my lips soft, smooth and moisturized. I use it before applying lip colors, at night before bed and alone on makeup-free days. Guys, in this season, a lip balm is a must, don't skip it.
6. Bio-Oil.
I might be biased, but this product is hands-down one of the best remedies for skin dryness. It is for multiple uses but for this season, i apply it on the skin around my eyes, my elbows and feet, or all over my body if i want. I sometimes mix it with my Vaseline lotion on my palms and rub it over my skin for deep moisturizing. A good tip is to apply this alone or with your moisturizer while your skin is still wet/damp after shower, if your skin is very dry or you just need the extra moisturizing.
*you can get it from any Kuddy Cosmetics store or Shop Rite*
7. Oriflame Love Nature face toner.
So i'm not a big face toner user. Most of the affordable ones are harsh and my face HATES cotton-wool, but i got this from my neighbor who
8. Silk scarf.
For your hair, tying a silk scarf to sleep is key to protecting your edges, keeping your lengths smooth and moisturized, as well as maintaining your hairstyles. Get you one if you haven't already.
Above all these, take water seriously. As dry as our skin, nails and hair look on the outside when they lack moisture, our insides are worse. So drink and eat water and water-filled foods constantly, now more than ever. Foods like cucumbers, salads with cabbage, watermelon, those green smoothies, etc are your friends, embrace them.
Also worth mentioning is that intake of alcohol should be reduced as much as possible. Alcohol dries up the skin and body organs, so don't stress out your body even more by guzzling those wines.
That's it for me. What are you doing for skin maintenance this season? Please share any other tips or personal experience in skin care down in the comments.

It's my much-talked-about birthday today and i feel a lot of things but i am not in the best place, so i'm just going to say a few things:
I am very lucky.I have my family all alive and well, friends that can stand me, a job, a roof over my head, the ability to still hope and dream.
My sanity.
The ability to still see beauty and find pleasure in things around me.
I've not been buried, literally and figuratively.
I am still able to see reasons to be thankful to God.
These past few years have been super tough. So tough.
I am here now, ready to live the rest of my life in the best possible way.
I feel a strengthening in heart and i know that God is with me.
The strength and courage to fly, to pursue my happiness, the purpose for which i exist and to succeed.
This strength is what i pray for the most.
---
For this shoot, i wanted to be myself as possible, so of course i went with a plain white button-down shirt, jeans and minimal black sandals that i wore here . As if Rachel knows my heart, she lent me this black leather jacket that i would totally wear everyday if i lived in colder climes.
I felt like myself; a minimalist with a fuss-free style and kick-ass heart.





I am truly thankful for 30 years of life and counting.
Now 'imma go eat myself to stupor. Peace out!

Warning: Long post. Please bear with me.
It’s two days to my birthday and I am having the craziest mix of feelings about it all.
On my birthday wishlist post, I had mentioned how i usually feel excited at the beginning of November, what follows is that i plateau somewhere mid-month and finally plunge into the sub-zones by the birthday itself till month-end. This is generally the pattern.
But in the spirit of hope and counting blessings, let me take stock and see where I’m at.
Making: plans for December. I have weddings to attend in the
east so i’m stressing over the trip (and expenses).
Eating: ripe-but-still-strong pawpaw a lot these days. Been
eating this every other day for a little over a month now, which is weird
because I don’t remember ever being crazy-in-love with pawpaw before. Hmn.
Drinking: Bournvita right now. My current office is close to a
Cadbury factory so every morning i perceive the glorious smell of chocolate as I
come into work and so I decided to have Bournvita sometime last week. Now it’s
every other day. I hadn’t had it since my childhood days and boy is it
delicious! The Bournvita brand was quite strong here in Nigeria back in the day,
but they slept on their marketing and Milo took over.
Lesson: Don’t take your brand building/marketing for granted. Also, don’t arrogantly assume that you have arrived so you don’t have to keep working hard to keep what you have. Success is a continuous process.

Reading: nothing right now but I am looking for a good crime
novel to get into. New titles are so scarce in Lagos these days. Ugh. If anyone
knows how to help me get Lee Child’s The
Wanted and Second Son, please
holla. I promise to give you my Christmas chicken…
Wanting: a rose-gold watch. I went nuts when I saw this Fossil one. It’s even on my wishlist. Somebody, anybody…
Looking: forward to my birthday on Saturday!
Enjoying: the This is
It web series on YouTube! I am a huge TV person and somehow this show
slipped by me. I remember seeing the ads on Bella Naija a few times but for
some reason I never paid attention. In fact, I am now looking at other web
series to follow. Apparently lots of good dramas and short films are on YouTube
and it makes me a little sad to see so much talent being under-exposed due to
lack of opportunities and support. Many content on the web are way more interesting
than what we have on the television and the big screen right now. Shame.
Playing: Travis Green’s Made
a Way. First song through my earphones on my way to work, through my day breaks and on my way
back. On repeat.
Smelling: some chemical from a paint industry close by. Which
reminds me that I need to buy some fragrances for myself and my apartment. One
more thing to spend money on. Shoot me.
Noticing: some light fog in the mornings, signaling that harmattan might be here soon, yay! It’s my favorite
season and I look forward to it every year. 🙌
Thinking: about money, also about things I want to accomplish
for the next year/age. If I’m taking away one lesson from this year, it is that
with some courage, intentional work and a dash of God’s favor, I can actually achieve
a great deal, even if it seems impossible along the way. I might as well shoot
for the stars next year.
Feeling: grateful for life. For my family, my parents are
alive and healthy, my sister is doing great and is even about to marry. For my
friends, they are very few but I appreciate them to no ends. For my health
because I was sick something serious at the beginning and mid part of the year
but I am here and I am strong.
For Ebony Olajide on Facebook. A total stranger who saw my wish-list and gifted me with a brand new 32GB memory card for my camera, which I am using now. May he find help and favor from any and everywhere all the days of his life. I won’t forget his kindness.
Also, I won a N4000 gift voucher from KacheeTee's giveaway to shop from TwentySix.co! I was super-duper happy about this because i can now buy my 'Christmas cloth' without worries, and normally, i NEVER win anything. God is good!

weekend. And that I get another thing off my wishlist!
Lastly, shout-out to Rachel who is a lovely photographer babe I met recently. She took these photos of me and I love them! Guys, she is also a yoga and fitness aficionado with the sickest body to prove it. Check her out @rachelola and @rachelolaphotography on IG.

Hel-lo!
How was your weekend, good? Mine was mostly good as i was able to go to the market and also attend the last day of the GT Bank Fashion Weekend that held in Victoria Island, Lagos.
I was not able to go on Saturday but i made it yesterday and it was great!
The event was put together by GT Bank to promote local enterprises, so it was a great opportunity for Nigerian based businesses to showcase their products, sell, network with other brands, customers, celebrities and the media.
Well organised, fully-packed and totally fun are what the event was yesterday and on Saturday too from what i hear.
I also saw a good number of celebrities, bloggers and fashion folks like Cassie Daves, Akin Faminu, Zainab Balogun, Chi Gurl, Sisi Yemmie and many more. So it was good people watching.
AND THE FASHION! See, Lagos people have to be one of the most fashionable people in the world, i tell you. They may be over-the-top some times, but there's nothing more buzzing than seeing Lagos people out in full social setting, in their fashion best. We are extra and i love it!
Unfortunately, for some reason, i didn't do a lot of street style photographing, but i got decent photos of the happenings inside. Take a look-
In front of the food court was a large picnic/family area for chilling and eating. Cool stuff.

These are just some of the brands that participated.
Outside the main hall, there was a crafts village where they sold cool Adire fabrics, on-the-spot tailoring, straw hats, etc. and a food court that had ColdStone Creamery, small-chops vendors and other food people.In front of the food court was a large picnic/family area for chilling and eating. Cool stuff.
I was at the event for like less than two hours, but it was time well spent. I enjoyed it.
Have a great week guys, may all out efforts meet success. x.
Hey guys!
I'm back with another Trend Watch and today, it's all about the metallic pleaded skirts and raw, uneven hemmed jeans.These are mega hot right now and one good part is that a little D-I-Y on any jeans you currently own will have you on your way to rocking the denim style shown here.
I'll be showing you my own creation in my next post, so look out.
As usual, i played around with some styling ideas over at Polyvore , so let's see them:
Metallic Skirt:
Nothing like being dressed in shiny clothes to put you in a festive mood, so this metallic skirt trend is right on time and on the money. Not only are these skirts decent and feminine, the metallic finish gives it some edge and a cool retro feel. Love it.
In case you are not crazy about the popular pleated version, you can try another silhouette like Jessica Alba's or this Mango mini, if that's your thing-


Still fabulous.
Raw, Step Hemmed Jeans:
This is my favorite of the two trends. I think it's a subtly-edgy and creative way to wear jeans, even better if you refurbish your old jeans into this.. Say no to throwing away clothes until we exhaust all style options with them.
These are my faves right now. What trends are you loving at the moment?
Hey guys!
I am back with another beauty-makeup post and this look is inspired by a few things:
The fall season, marked by all things darker, richer and heavier, for people in climates that have it. We don’t have it here in Nigeria. Meh.
Halloween, for people who celebrate(d) it. I don’t. We don’t do that here in Nigeria.
November, my birthday month, through-out which I will be doing the very most. In everything. * throws fur stole*
and the purple lip is one of my favorite punch-packing makeup looks that i love to rock when I’m in the mood to be an ass-kicking, happy, confident creative.

Mary Kay Foundation| LA Girl Pro Concealer| Black Opal Finishing Powder | Kudi Cosmetics HD Powder
Eyes:

Yeah, with this color on, you definitely come across as
creative, bold and confident.
Also. ALSO guys, I am absolutely giddy over/proud of how
these pictures came out. See, my photography-learning journey is teaching me a
great life lesson. A lesson about starting what you what to do, starting now,
with whatever you have, wherever you are, not waiting for anybody, just learn,
practice and you can do practically anything.
I live!
I live!
It’s that time of the year again! My favorite time of the year; The Time Before My Birthday! whooo!

It is two days less than a month to my birthday (Nov. 26th) and this is when I go haywire with dreaming of my coming birthday, wish for tonnes of stuff, disturbing God, my family and friends with what I want to do on that day, what I want to get from them, etc. Just making a huge fuss and going nuts.
So… I know, I should go get an official LASTMA badge, because
I must be the last person on earth to start wearing the oh-so-wonderful off-the-shoulders style style.
In my defense, I have really broad shoulders, so wide
necklines are not usually my friend, as they generally make my upper chest area
seem extra wide, Like a 10-lane express way. So I’ve just loved these off-the-shoulders items from a distance.
Then the strangest thing happened. I bought this fabric at
Balogun market because I wanted some small stripped shift blouse and thought
the fabric will do. I go to the tailor’s place and start to scroll through my phone’s
massive screen shot folder to show her the style I want (Guys, who else has
like one billion screen shot photos on their phone?! Mine is ridiculous!), and
I happened upon a photo by the lovely Geneva of A Pair & A Spare. She’s one of my
faves and she has some amazing off-the-shoulder pieces that she’s either bought
or sewn featured on her blog, so I just knew I was going to go for it,
mile-wide shoulders notwithstanding.
Hey guys!
Long time no beauty post. So, here’s one about another one of my favorite day-time glam look.
As per my style, the look is minimal but subtly glowy and really pretty.
It’s basically a neutral eye jazzed-up with some gold eye-shadow near the lashes, paired with a light plum/berry lip that i achieved mostly with my beloved Zaron Cosmetics 'Stallion' lip liner .
This look is soft, super easy and suits practically everyone, you can try it.
I went sans lashes because the look is for day time, plus I don’t particularly love those things, so if I don’t have to, I don’t wear them.

Guys, i am proud to report that i am indeed getting better with my photography and editing skills, bit by bit!
I shot these photos in my room, with natural from my windows and one energy-saving bulb.
I also edited them using the Frequency Separation technique that i am learning right now.
It's far from perfect, but i see some improvement, which makes me very very happy.
so, you like? What's your favorite makeup look?

Making: headway with my budgeting and saving as i hoped i would in my last Taking Stock.
Reading: some news on ThisDay and posts on Man Repeller.
Wanting: to eat the jollof rice and goat meat i spoke about in my last TS post.

Hay-loww!
You know how i love minimalism, i also now love monochromatic style too.
Monochrome might seem like an un-cool/matchy-matchy thing, but if done right, it's not.
Monochrome might seem like an un-cool/matchy-matchy thing, but if done right, it's not.
Wearing a single color from head to toe is neat and known to be slimming too, as it visually keeps the body in a single compact line, like a straight, lean stick of Supreme chocolate-coated ice-cream. Maybe not ice-cream, in case that is not your thing (but why won't chocolatey ice-cream be your thing?! are you not human?!), but you get the point..
Also, if you are like me and have dreams of developing a personal style 'uniform', this is definitely one way to go; streamlining your wardrobe pieces to some particular hues only.
(segue, stick with me please)
(segue, stick with me please)
'Uniform' in personal style has nothing to do with your haunting Secondary School memories and everything to do with having a signature look.
This is not my real face..
First of all, i have a red dress, my very first, i think, which is kind of a big deal for me, being President of the Black Outfit Forever Council, Lagos chapter.
Secondly, i was slightly faux-insulted when my friends saw me in this outfit and went oohing and ah-ahn-ing over how decent i looked.
Guys, it's 'see finish' that has caused this, because i know that i look 'decent' most of the time. Anyway they say that a prophet is not valued in his hometown, so, wha-evurr.
