The Perfect Wedges..........

The Perfect Wedges..........

I fell in love with them for the first time when my sister came in from the UK wearing what i call the cutest ones ever. They were red patent open-toed from Zara. Dnt get me wrong though, im not talking about the boring low Kate Middleton type, im talking about the Jessica Simpson type, high cork soled sexy Wedges that hugs even the ugliest feet and turns them to edible cute feet.

Check these ones out.......


So i put together my selection from Jumia.com.ng that are just a click and order away. I also made sure this selection wont hurt your bank account for those of us who are crazy spend-conscious hahaha.........All prices between 2k+ to 8k

You'll be shocked to know how old these women are........

We've all heard the saying "the older the wine/berry, the sweeter it is". I just coined mine as " the older the woman,the trendier and sexier she is"

Women in their late thirties and into their forties are really stealing the spotlight now, especially black women. Did you ever know that Tamar Braxton is 38? Ok ok, maybe she looks like shes got some work done on her face, what about Nia Long, that girl is 44 good years old. Gabrielle Union nko? Can you guess? 42years, wow...... The one that beats me is Angela Bassett, that woman is 57years old! All these women look amazing and i just cant see them getting old, i can only see them aging beautifully and gracefully.

Im sure if you asked them what their secrets are, it would definitely be eating healthy, exercising and living life to the fullest.

How many of us Nigerian women do this? We complain that we never have the time because we work, we have children, the Nigerian life style is not conducive................. But guess what? All of the women i have mentioned have children, work more than most of us and probably live more fast paced lifestyle than we all do.

Having and acheiving any good goal has never been an easy task, it wont just happen if we dont set our minds to it. Everything has to be planned. Healthy eating has to be planned. An exercise regime or diet to lose weight or be fit has to be planned. And most importantly, we have to commit to our goals. Believe me, its not easy, so dont beat your self up when you renege on your plan, you just dust your self up and start over or continue...

Join a dance class, look for an aerobic group on Instagram or bbm to join or follow, go for swimming lessons (hook me up for a great decent place to learn to swim), follow women who will inspire you on social media, and lastly, its never too late to have a healthy life. Always remember that you are beautiful in the eyes of God so live life to the fullest..............

Back to the Basics and going "Au Naturel"

Right now, im growing out my natural hair, im letting the permed and relaxed part go. 

My plan is to wear my hair without having it relaxed with chemicals. 

I have always had very soft and light hair and never been one of those girls that had to use the "super relaxer" or carry the relaxer process for long when doing a perm. 

When the relaxer is applied to my hair, i rinse and shampoo almost immediately after so my hair does not "over-relax" and become scanty.

So i believe leaving my natural hair the way Baba God created it would be easy, but will it fit me???

Thats always our fear. 

Some friends would never let their hair breath just because they feel their own hair is too scanty, makes them look ugly, or too young, or cheap, or local etc. So they keep covering it and killing it with weaves and artificial hair. If we sit and calculate how much we have spent on our hair alone, im sure some of us would have a heart attack.

Lets look at these natural hair styles first:

I think the key is being adventurous and daring when it comes to carrying your natural hair. If you leave it packed in a bun to the back always or just combed straight back it would be plain and boring.

So try these easy exciting steps and styles when you want to go au naturel with your hair:

-Treat your hair like you treat your expensive weaves, dont wash it always, cos water makes it kinkier unless thats what you are aiming for, condition, curl it, you can even set it with rollers and setting lotions.

-Dont be scared to cut it, it will always grow back, and make sure you cut at a good barber who can give the cut that fits your head and face shape

-Color color color your natural hair. It makes you look more stylish and coloring natural hair would be safer as its just one chemical process, coloring relaxed hair would be like killing your hair twice.

-Take more time with your make up when you go natural so you dont look too plain.

-Accessorize more. Dont over do it as usual, but be bold with your accessories.

-You can also use natural looking hair attachments to make your hair fuller if thats what you want.

The most exciting thing for me about going natural is that i save lots of money and i dont go through all the aches and pains of sitting for hours making fake artificial hair, at least for a while sha hahaha..............
