My Haircare Routine during the Dry Season

Eyin temi,

It's the harmattan (dry season) here in Nigeria and this weather isn't playing. I think it's drier this season than it was in 2016. I find myself consuming more water and still feeling thirsty. The fog and dust that comes with dry season is also here, super annoying!

Now this is the time our natural hair would suffer from dryness and breakage if we don't take good care of it. I have seen images of huge balls of hair on Twitter and Instagram, that I think I should share with you my haircare routine in this dry season

10 Reasons why you should Exfoliate regularly

Eyin temi,

Exfoliating your skin is really important as it is the removing of dead surface skin cells. Dead skin cells makes the skin look dull and rough. Have you ever touched your face and it felt like sandpaper? Then you need to exfoliate regularly.

Beauty Review: SAGE & SKIN SPA

Eyin temi,

Hope you guys had a wonderful Easter celebration because I sure did.

I live in Ibadan but travelled to Lagos for the Easter holiday so Good Friday was a good day to be good to myself (so much good in one sentence, lol). I pampered myself to a beauty session at a spa. It was my third time in a spa (the 1st time was for a massage, 2nd time was 'follow follow' but I got a pedicure while waiting for my friend). In this post, I'll share my beauty experience with you and tell you about the spa I went to.

I visited the SAGE & SKIN SPA located at Yaba, Lagos. I called to book an appointment by phone a week in advance because of the holiday (I didn't want to hear 'Sorry ma, we're fully booked for the holiday'). I booked for a facial treatment and waxing and also discussed about writing a review of their service on my blog. They were very glad I wanted to write about them.

DIY: Whipped Shea Butter

DIY Whipped Shea Butter

Eyin temi,

Today I’m sharing an easy to do DIY. It’s the DIY Whipped Shea Butter for hair and skin. Last year, I big chopped my relaxed hair and currently I’m a natural hair girl. It’s been a rewarding and challenging experience which I talk about here.

Shea butter is wonderful. It’s a good moisturizer and sealant for hair and skin. I find that whenever I use it for my hair, my hair is soft and manageable and we all know how ‘unmanageable’ natural hair can be if not properly taken care of.  Plus during harmattan, it saved me from dry and flaking skin especially on my elbows, knees and feet.

So after finding this wonderful DIY online, I decided to do it myself, 😀

Today I’m here to share an easy and inexpensive DIY way to smooth and beautiful face. Is your face rough with lots of white 'egusi' like things on it? You should try this mask. All you need are items you’ll find in your kitchen.

I tried this beauty DIY (do it yourself) with my friend, Damilola, and it’s amazing and all we spent was 40naira and the results blew our mind.

Okay enough hype…lol
