Workflow: Textures

Hey Guys!

Hope you are having a restful weekend. Anyone else feel like the month of January has gone by too quickly. The month of February begins tomorrow and it's going to be interesting, my blog is going to be 1 on the 8th of February, I'm accepting presents o :) It's election season too, I pray everything goes smoothly and peacefully.

So, I wore this to work on Thursday as I was attending a Uni alumni shindig in the evening, I know it can be worn to church too. I have my moods in terms of office dressing, some days I'm all corporate like in this post, other days I wear a dress like this one. Friday is Smart Casual so my jeans come out. But, this past thursday, I launched my Twenty Six Skirt, this is my second one, the first one was polka, remember this post?

Pandora Meets Ankara

So I was gisting with my friend, Tolu, sometime last week and she asked if I had plans for Sunday the 18th. I had none and she said she'll send my name to the people at Pandora so I could be added to the guestlist. She's a blogger at Cocophemie so you can check out her recap of the event here.

A pandora representative brought the IV to my house  a couple of days to event and I was really impressed with the packaging.

The Monochrome Way: The Black Bag

Hello

Watsup people? How are you guys?

I started my new job last week, we are going through an academy (training school) at the moment so a lot of lectures going on.

I realised last week that I didn't have a big black bag so I checked Kampke.com and found the perfect one which can carry A4 Folders. It's such a necessity so the good folks at Kampke are giving my readers 25% off any Zara Bag. You just need to enter the code TUKE25 at checkout and it runs till the 31st of January 2015. (I get points if you buy through the link on my blog so do the needful). They've got a few of the Zara heels I've been rocking left so grab yours now before they get sold out, they've got them in ivory too.

2015 Goals and Resolutions

Hey Guys

Happy Weekend!

I'm having such a relaxing day, haven't stepped one foot out of my house and I love it :)

How's your weekend going? Hope you've nominated me for Best New Blog, Best Lifestyle Blog and any other category you deem fit in the Nigerian Blog Awards, It won't take up to 5 minutes so please fill in the nomination form, Thank you :)

Someone commented on my previous post that she thinks I need more audience and I agree with her. It's actually one of my goals for the year!

You can contribute to expanding my audience by sharing any posts you like on your social media pages. I'll definitely appreciate it and it encourages me to keep creating great content. I won't stop blogging if you don't do it but it'll make happy if you do.

I did a Goal Audit post in May Last year and people really seemed to enjoy it and the end of year Audit too. I'm hoping this year is bigger and better than 2014, it gats to be mehn!

So, my goals for the year are as follows:

Something Different: Natures Gentle Touch

Hey Guys!

Hope you're having a good week, it's gone by pretty fast, don't you think?  

Two weeks ago, my family friend, Ibiyemi, tagged me in a competition on Instagram organised by @naturesgentletouch and @oluchi1. The question was simple, name 5 natures gentle touch products and the first 10 people to answer correctly would win a free hair makeover. 

I was pretty pleased that I won, I was the 10th person to answer the question, Yayy me. I wasn't sure what to expect as I had never been to the Natures Gentle Touch Hair Institute before. Plus, I wasn't really sure if they would be able to deal with Natural Hair. Boy, was I in for a Surprise.

I got there, spoke to the receptionist, she asked for ID to verify that I was one of the winners and then I was led to the treatment room. I filled in a form, was asked some questions about my hair regimen, the consultant inspected my scalp and then suggested a treatment. It was a real hair consultation, they even had a microscopic camera that showed them the roots of my hair.

She suggested an Aromatherapy Treatment which involved massaging a mixture of essential oils into my scalp to help with the dry scalp issue she noticed. The mixture was brushed into my hair then I went under a steamer. I didn't even ask questions because the stylist, Tosin, was so professional, she definitely knew what she was doing. My hair was shampooed, conditioned, I went under a steamer at some point and it was blowdried too.
