The Journey From Lagos to Ibadan By Train. On a Saturday morning, while the rest of my household still slept, I quietly slid into a cab with my travel backpack and mumbled some greeting to the driver. He responded cheerfully, before adding “It says you’re going to The Mobolaji Johnson train station”?. That’s correct, I replied. The Lagos to Ibadan train station, just at the Alagomeji bus stop in yaba”. I had carefully packed my clothes just hours earlier, ticking off things on a list I titled “Ibadan weekend trip”.

Today I turned twenty-seven. I do not feel different or changed in any way. I also do not quite have the words to say, but I felt the need to put something up here. Earlier today, I realized that I stopped documenting my birthdays here – the obligatory birthday post, as I like to call it – on my twenty fourth birthday. I’m not sure how this happened, my memory fails me these days, but I felt sad when I found out. Check Out More Of This Post Here ..read more

A few weeks ago, in what I now refer to as an amazing twist of fate, I got to spend a night at and explore the beautiful grounds of the Nike guesthouse in Osogbo, and also visit the Osun osogbo grove. I call this a twist of fate because I had no idea any of these things would happen. I was headed to Ede in Osun state on a work trip, and the thought of being a tourist never crossed my mind.

This year has been a really really long year. I would never have imagined a lot of the things that have happened happening, and in so many ways I am still dazed about it all. It started with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, and spiraled out of control from there. Almost as if whoever held the reins for the world dropped it whilst running around trying to fix the pandemic issue, unleashing even more horror into the world.

Making a Detour To Communications.   2nd May 2019. 2:34 PM Tomorrow marks the start of a new phase for me. I am both as excited as I am nervous, and have my outfits planned out for a month. I don’t know who this person that plans outfits ahead of time is, but I like her, and I’ll try to keep her. It’s been two years since I completed my medical internship, and this is my first stint in the corporate world – although I’ll be working in a creative role as part of the content marketing team.  Check Out More Of This Post Here ..read more

A Weekend Staycation At IITA Ibadan. When I spontaneously decided to spend a weekend at IITA Ibadan, there was a heaviness in my heart that I figured travel might remedy. I was right. IITA calmed my spirit and gave me joy. It’s hard to stay down when surrounded by that much beauty and nature.  I know you’re probably here to read my review of IITA Ibadan. But this post is also a recap of my trip and some of the places I visited in Ibadan. Check Out More Of This Post Here ..read more

Cosrx Calming Foam Cleanser Review I’ve used very few cleansers in my lifetime. I tend to stick with what works for me, and keep repurchasing till there’s an actual need for something else. Last year, I switched over from Neutrogena’s oil free acne cleanser to the Cosrx calming foam cleanser when I was actively breaking out, and it became my go-to cleanser. I’ve repurchased this multiple times now, and I can finally come on here and give my Cosrx calming foam cleanser review. Check Out More Of This Post Here ..read more

If I could wear only one lip color forever, it will definitely be red. This is no news. However, with the exception of a few shades of pink and orange, I’m always open to slapping on and trying other fun lipstick colors. Lately, I’ve taken to wearing bright colored (often called weird) and fun lipsticks colors for an extra oomph and cool factor. There’s a sort of joy that comes from going against the norm, especially when it comes to things like fashion and beauty. Check Out More Of This Post Here ..read more

Styling Co-ords. By principle, I rarely ever say no to a co-ord two piece set that suits my style and budget. It’s one of the style rules I hold close to heart. I’m all for clothing items that can be restyled in multiple ways,  and the versatility of styling co-ord two piece sets makes them a wardrobe treasure. I got a co-ord set from Nigerian brand Rekana, and was immediately drawn to the top. Check Out More Of This Post Here ..read more

A Mini Skincare Haul – Klairs, Cosrx, Cerave And The Simple Brand. I’ve been having the hardest time putting pen to paper and cooking up a post, but I’m excited to share some of my recent skincare haul/purchases with you guys. I have a hate love relationship with skincare. Love because good skin is such a confidence booster, and hate because there are just way too many amazing products out there and skincare can be quite expensive.
