DIY: How to make coconut oil

Coconut oil

Eyin temi,

When I cut my hair April, 2016, I began to read hair blogs and watch YouTube videos on how to care for natural hair. I found an article on the benefit of coconut oil and I knew I had to have it. Here in Western Nigeria, coconut oil is sold in the local market as 'Idi agbon'. I used it at one point as a child but didn't think much about its useful for my hair or skin. Guys, I think coconut oil and shea butter are the unappreciated skincare heros in Nigeria. 

Words of encouragement for the new week

Eyin temi,

Welcome to a new week. Sorry I didn’t post yesterday. Power surge fried my laptop charger and phone charger over the weekend so I had to deal with that yesterday. It’s still not sorted but hopefully by the end of this week, I should get replacements.

This week’s words of encouragement are from a song. I remember the first time I listened to it on my brother’s phone, I must have been 16 or 17 years old and I fell in love with it.

Words of encouragement for the new week

Eyin temi,

Welcome to a new week. I hope you had a wonderful weekend with family and friends or alone.

I was praying yesterday and after trying to form the words of my request, I broke down and told God how afraid I was; afraid that he won't give it to me, afraid that I would end up making past mistakes and getting hurt, afraid of my choice. My fear was real. I thought it would choke me.
