Tuke's Trips: Food in Orlando

I like food I really do, I had 7 pieces of Chicken for dinner tonight, it was my Dad's birthday yesterday so it's allowed. I tried skipping at some point today as my producer said it'll help with breath control.The most I could do without stopping was 13, poor right? That number will be different at the end of next month, I promise.

So Leeznijis commented on the previous post and said she wanted the food in Orlando post next. Sogie said she wanted the Disney one so that will go up on Thursday :)    

 I have soooo many food pictures on my laptop it's ridiculous, it's nice to see how my photography game has improved over the years. These pictures were taken in 2012, Thank God for Technology. The Bulk of them were taken at a Japanese restaurant called Kobe. Read about my experience at a Japanese restaurant in Lagos on the Fayrouz blog.

Tuke's Trips: Orlando

Hey Guys!

I'm glad that some of you expressed interest in the "Tuke'sTrips" segment. It will be located in the Travel Section which can be found under the Categories Tab in the Side Bar. I'm trying to make the blog more organised and user friendly, hope you appreciate my efforts :)

So, what actually sparked the desire to start this was a conversation with my little brother last week. He turned 7 on the 22nd and we were going through old pictures on my laptop. We went into the Disney World File and I was so shocked that he remembered particular things we did on that day at Disney, he was only 4. 

I'm starting with a general post on Orlando and then I'll move on to the Disney one...Enjoy the Ride!

We arrived in Orlando and I was very tired as I had literally just gotten back from China. We stepped out of the airport and saw a Taxi with our Surname on it which was a very nice welcome to the States.

Introducing Tuke's Trips

Hey Guys

I don't know if you know this but I enjoy travelling. I am privileged to have visited a few countries in my short lifetime and I hope you enjoy reading about my experiences. I actually bought my Nikon D3100 in June 2012 because I was travelling to China that Summer and I wanted to document my time there with good quality images. I didn't know much about photography at that time so I shot in auto for the most part. 

The summer of 2012 was a very interesting one as I went to 4 continents in a span of about 6 weeks. I was in school in England, I got a scholarship to visit my University's campus in China for a 2 week Summer School, I went to America with my family on holiday and then I came back to my country Nigeria for Summer job.

I took A LOT of pictures on these trips and I'm finally ready to share them on this platform.

Hope you enjoy this segment :)

P.S. One thing I've learnt in life is that if you show people what you are capable of doing, the kind of work you can produce, you would eventually be paid by someone who appreciates the service you willingly provided for free. Just keep doing you because you never know who is watching.

Like Bankole Williams says, God's greatest desire is for you to charge a fee doing that which you would usually do for free.

Happy Monday :)

Oh yeah, check out Abuja Chronicles I, II and III to get an idea of what these travel posts will be like.

Protective Style: Crotchet Braids

Hey Guys!

Happy Sunday!

What do you think of the new  layout? Have you explored the tabs at the top? I'm glad that I can now cross number 10 off my 2015 goals list :) I'm not sure that I need a Logo to be honest, let me know if you think otherwise.

I did something different to my hair last week, I put it in a protective style, Crotchet Braids. I got it done at home and the price wasn't too bad. Holla if you want details.

The Monochrome Way: Twinning with Jemma

Hey Guys

Happy Weekend!

Are y'all excited that it's Friday? I'm super stoked :)

My friend, Jemma, came in from Abuja earlier in the week. She was my coursemate in Uni and the first friend I ever made that is based in Abuja. Remember the Abuja Chronicles series 1, 2 and 3? All the pictures of me were taken by her and the pictures in the Adventures in Abuja post too. I had a swell time at her house when I went to Abuja to register for NYSC. 2015 Batch A corpers, your time is coming o!

When Jemma got to my house, she was wearing a nice white tee, a bodycon skirt and some cool white sandals so I decided to jack her style. The last time I did a post like this was in July last year when my cousin, Evita, came over. Check out the post here, funny thing is it was a Monochrome way post too :)

S Cubed: Suya Sausage Sandwich

Hey Guys

How are you? Did you vote today or did you just rest? What was the situation like in your area? Mine was super peaceful. I find it interesting that not as many people came out for the gubernatorial elections, any idea why?

Remember how I said in this post that I've been making Sandwiches lately, well, the one I make the most has got to be the S cubed. In England, my favourite kind of Sausages were the Classic and Chicken frankfurters by Herta.

Now that I'm back to Lagos, I buy Chicken Franks produced by Companhia minuano de Alimentos (product of Brasil). They taste a bit different from the ones in England but they are more accessible as I can get a pack of 10 from my local supermarket for N350. (less than $2)
I get my buns from Audreys Cakes and Bakes, Best Bread Fullstop and it only costs N250 for 9 buns. Anyone who has had breakfast at my house can testify of the goodness of this bread.
