Naturals in the City 9 x M & F Designs

Hey y'all

So I split my weekend post into 2 because  it makes categorisation and organisation easier & there are a lot of pictures too. I put up a post on Instagram about Naturals in the City 9. I went for the 8th edition and blogged about it here. If you read my recount of the 8th edition, you would realise I was still new to blogging then and I was kinda shy too. Now, I've been for more blogger related events so I'm not as shy when people recognise me and I'm a bit more comfortable with the socialising.

I went there with a number of my friends, some of my closest friends from Secondary School and one of my blogger friends, who won one of my old giveaway's and was my plus 1 for the Savvy and Chic floral party. Her name is Dami, she blogs here and you'll see a picture of her soon.

So, we got there pretty late, at about 4, the event was billed to start at 1:30, but I had other commitments first, like the Family Fun Day. There were stalls in the gallery of the social place, didn't even take any pictures there, sorry. Alice did though, check out her blog, you might just spot me there *wink*, Sisi Yemmie took some pictures too. African Naturalistas, Olori, Midas Naturals and many other hair vendors were there. Shout out to Olori for gifting me a sample of their deep conditioning treatment. I can't wait to try it out, I've heard so many good things about it. Expect a review once my weave is off.

The talks were happening in another room. I got in at the end of the last talk by Adura and people were asking loads of questions. The giveaway was held too, the prizes weren't as plentiful as the ones from the NITC 8. I think I preferred NITC 8 as an event, probably because it was the first Natural Hair event I went to so I learnt a lot and I missed most of the talks at this one.

Plus I had other things I had to get done at this event. Do you remember my friend Bunmi, from this review, Well she blogs here, is a twin and I've known them since 2002, 14 years. They launched their business yesterday and I took pictures of the designs. Mosope took the pictures that I am not in.

Lamide and Zainab Balogun of the Spot were at NITC9 too but I didn't feel the need to famz with them/say hi. If I bumped into them last year, I would have been such a groupie, but that's life I guess, you grow and little things don't faze you anymore.

    1. Thank you. It depends on your price range. I use a Nikon D3100 with a 50mm prime lens, got it 2 years ago, there are newer models in the market. I know Jumia is having Black Friday Sales in a few days so maybe you can order one then.
