Orange Twirl

Hey Guys,

How are you doing? My play, Band Aid is tomorrow at Muson, I must see some of you there o!

I  wore this outfit on Sunday to the Christmas Beauty A'fair, haul post coming soon, I got a lot of much needed makeup goodies :)

I went with Teni (from this post)  and Mosope (from this one). Wore my hair in a puff but I thought it looked slightly boring/plain so Mosope kindly gave me 2 of the Bobby pins in her hair. I put one on each side to create that frohawk effect. I think it came out nicely/added a little spunk to the outfit, what do you think?

This dress used to be one of my favourites, I bought it from Dorothy Perkins sometime in 2012, you might catch a glimpse of it in my birthday timeline post. Heels are from Zara via Kampke as seen in this post.

Oh, yeah, this lip colour isn't one I own but  it is LA Girl Glazed Lip Paint in Coy. Shop Sisi matched my foundation at the Beauty Fair and tried it out on me, it's very lilacy and different from any lip colour I've ever tried.

Printastic :)

Hey Guys!

Remember the skirt from this post, well it has to be one of my favourite fabrics, I made many items of clothing from it and this top is one of them. My Riding Pants are from American Apparel and my flats are from Kampke.com (really affordable and comfy). I wore this outfit to the Block Party on Saturday. Pictures were taken by Mosope (from this post & this post) and Teni (from this post).

Oh yeah, the top was made by Eniola (from this post), send me an email tuke_morgan@hotmail.com if you would like to make something similar. Check out Kampke too, they've got some really nice printastic items.

Wash Day!

Hey Guys

I took my weave (from this post) off about 2 weeks ago, had it in for 3 weeks. I got tired of straightening the leave out. Even though the ORS Straightening and Strengthening Treatment leaves my hair in a stretched form for 3 weeks, it isn't bone straight so my hair wasn't blending in with the weave the way I wanted as seen here and here. If you check out this post, you'll see the transition in texture over the 3 week period when I had the ORS treatment in.

Back in Uni and A levels, I used to keep my braids in for 3 months, I would keep them in for the whole term, how things have changed. I was really excited for my first wash day after the weave as I was extremely eager to try out the Olori Deep Conditioning Treatment.

My Coconut Oil has almost run out which is why I got some at the block party

Block Party with some Cool Kids

Hey Y'all

I had a really busy/fun weekend. Started off with The Experience on Friday and then loads of activities on Saturday. Mosope (purple lips) and Teni (headscarf) slept over and Harira lives in my estate so we hit the streets together.

Our First stop was a make up store in Lekki as they were  doing 50% off and it was ending on Saturday. Sadly, they didn't have many of the items on my list and there were no foundation samples either so I ended up going for the Christmas Beauty Affair the next day (i.e. Sunday).

Our next stop was a Garden Party organised by Harira's church, The Waterbrook and it was held at Bistro 7. It was a really cool initiative, we got there towards the end of the event, they had already eaten. It was a strictly female party, free pedicures and manicures. Ladies were split into groups based on their age and were having discussions. My group spoke about purpose, relationships and other life issues, We left as the cooking competition was about to begin.

The whitespace creative agency in Ikoyi had a block party and the Kinky apothecary had a stall there. I restocked on my coconut oil and whipped shea butter. One of my friends DJ-ed too, his name is Obinna and he is a cool kid (Follow him on instagram @pretty_coool). I bumped into a lot of old and new friends and took loads of pictures.

Enjoy!

Mosope and Harira

The Experience 2014

Hey Guys :)

Hope you had a great weekend!

I had a pretty busy one and it involved a sleepover too. In my previous post, I mentioned that I had a couple of spare tickets for the Experience and a number of my readers emailed me saying they were interested.

I just want to say a big Thank you to all of you who read my blog, I wasn't really sure if anyone would email saying they wanted one. It was a nice feeling knowing that some people I haven't seen or spoken to in years, my senior's and junior's in Secondary school and even a mother read my blog.

There's a difference when someone says "I read your article" and "I read your article and the phrase about fishes climbing trees really resonated with me". I'm glad my words have some sort of impact, no matter how little, the person was referring to this NYSC post on Bella Naija by the way.

I wasn't actually planning to write about The Experience but my dad asked when it was coming out and I found it sweet that he had actually read the previous one.

My experience at the Experience 2013

Hey Guys!

So I attended The Experience for the first time last year and it was an amazing event. I actually wrote about it so that my friend's who couldn't make it would know how it went. This year's own is happening at TBS today and it's free. I have some extra VIP tickets so leave a comment or send an email if you're interested. (tuke_morgan@hotmail.com)

I recently read my recount of last year's event. It was interesting to read and I noticed my writing style has changed slightly, I don't think I am as descriptive as I used to be.

As we drove into TBS, I was pretty impressed at how organised everything was. I went with my Uncle, Pastor Sola Fola-Alade, his PA and my cousin, Teni. We walked towards the VIP entrance, and the protocol people welcomed us eagerly, then informed the Protocol people at the stage that Pastor Sola was being escorted over with 3 guests. 

We went through a security turnpike then proceeded to the main arena and I was overwhelmed by the size of the crowd. I have been to TBS a number of times, particularly for RCCG programs but I have never seen it sooo full. There was literally no space in the bleachers, the stage was wonderfully lit, everything was On Point!

My HSF Spa Experience

Hello Readers :)

How are you?

I had a really amazing experience at HSF Wellness Centre in Ikoyi last week. Remember Feyi Adesanya, she took the pictures in this post and blogs at The Modish Method. Well, she messaged me one day in November and asked if I would be interested in a free spa day. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity. I haven't gotten a professional massage since I went to China in 2012. Read on to get the lowdown :)

It's December, Baby!!

Hey Guys
