MY HOLIDAY WISHLIST 2017




Hey guys!

December is fast approaching and so is christmas.. yay.. I'm always happy around this period not just because of the love but the gifts, presents and new things but sometimes we get so caught up thinking about what others would get us that we forget to appreciate ourselves. It's really not easy going through 365days especially when the year and life hasn't been 100percent rosey or nice to you but we managed to make it past the turbulence and with hope look forward to better years ahead. 
So this year I've decided to make a wish list of things I would love to get for me. I might end up not buying all or most of it but at least one.


I appreciate and love African craft and businesses so I try to purchase and incorporate more African/Nigerian brands to my wardrobe and space.
Fun fact : You can steal them as gift ideas for people you love.

Here are the 5 brands I'd love to patronise this christmas, you can check them out by clicking on the pictures (there's a direct link).

 Oyin Lagos : The unique thing about this brand is how they make such amazing footwear for cheap. Tbh, its amazing craft and it's so inexpensive. I have a discount code : JBAM2017 its for everyone to get a 15% discount. Happy shopping guys

Ankara Bags : I have legit been eyeing their bags for a while now, its soo cool how they construct their bags .. yes, construct.. and make it look soo classy. I can't wait to get my hands on one and style it so you guys would understand what I mean by classy African fashion.

The Lekki gift company : This is a brand or company that I need in my life because I'm the worst person at giving gifts, if I have to buy a gift for anyone I would overspend because I feel like whatever I'm getting won't be enough .. If you can relate say yeehh. They will definitely come in handy at this time because of the holiday. They package the best gifts. 




Bee lashes : What is makeup really without lashes, they frame the eyes and just make your entire makeup pop.  I actually have a couple of bee lashes but I would love to get more, so this christmas I'm rocking bee lashes to all the events and parties. 





Nicole and Giovanni : I didn't know about this company until I went for the Gtbank fashion weekend in november, they had a cute stand that had beautiful socks. Unfortunately, I couldn't buy from them because I didn't have enough cash on me and I was working but this christmas I am definitely going to buy a pair of comfy cute socks just for the holiday and gift a couple of people.

 Well, that's my short list.. *I have that evil smile on as I rub my palms together ... Can't wait to have these. Merry christmas in advance.

Gifts - what to think of when getting the perfect gift.

Image
Hello everyone, as the year is just kicking off holiday seasons are all coming back from Valentine's Day which is the closest one till New Year's Eve. There is Easter, birthdays, anniversaries, and so many other special occasions and the one thing on most people's mind during these holidays or occasions are GIFTS. This post is mainly for those buying the gifts. Some people would say it is the thought that counts, I doubt that works these days. people are expecting actual gifts not thoughts.  Here are some pointers for getting gifts. 1. The occasion : The first think anyone should think of before going ahead to get gift is the occasion. When you know what the program is you can easily pick out what kind of present you want to get.   2. Your budget : you cannot give what you do not have. Think about how much money, energy or time you have to get a gift before getting anything. If you do not have enough money for what they want, you can make it or search for where to get it a

Workout Outfits - it's not a big deal

Image
 It  does not have to be a big deal dressing up to the gym, come on it's the gym. No matter what you decide to wear the point is that you'll sweat all over that outfit so do not take your time preparing for the gym like you're going to the club or to a ball. The rule is - no make up, no heels, no jewelries etc. you wear whatever basic gym clothes you have and jump on that thread mill like no one's watching. Really though, no one cares.  If you're going for a morning jog, personally I sometimes sleep in my sport bra so that I can wake up and just wear a sweat pant and a jacket and run out asap.  If you get confused on what to wear all the time, you can do what I do- that is ; 1. You can google celebrities to checkout what they are wearing (that is not too serious) and buy that. 2. Checkout fitness blogs, they usually have links to where you can purchase good gym wears. 3. Download a bunch of pictures on your phone from google images and change workout outfits accordi
