New Year, New Opportunities, New Thinking!

Some happy moments from 2015 - Looking forward to happier and more fulfilling ones in 2016!

Happy New Year!!!!!!  Oh my, I've missed missed blogging but I needed to rest so badly as I had fallen ill during and after the festivities. Hope everyone had an amazing holiday and is pumped for the new year. I'd said in my New Year post on FB that I am deeply excited about this year.

Even with all the predictions of gloom and doom I firmly believe that this can work in our favour - we really really need to begin to look inward and think outside the box.

Just yesterday I came across this video and it made me even more hopeful about the positive changes that could come.

Got Me Some Goodies From Nubian Roots And Brazen Curls.

I love what I do!! Apart from the fact that I get to create lovely hairstyles for equally lovely ladies, I also sometimes get free stuff to try out on myself and my wonderful clients. My latest haul is two fold; the first from Nubian Roots and the other from Brazen Curls : with the respective brains behind each brand being Nigerian Female - can I get a whoop whoop!!

I am absolutely thrilled with the stuff ladies here are doing. Quite apart from the bold enterprenuerial spirit; is the creativity and innovation that you find. I mean there's Lolade Cameron Cole of Namaste Organics ( I looooooooove her black soaps and body butters!!!!) Toyin Oniru of Inner Beautee,  NN of Natural Nigerian, Atilola of African Naturalistas, Toyin Odulate of Olori Cosmetics and more that I probably haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet.

Nubian Roots is the baby of Ibilola Sowemimo while the Founder/ CEO of Brazen Curls (same Company as Midas Naturals) is Dr. Somi Dokpesi - Igbene.

When you speak to them and/or read their stories, the common thread you find running through their respective reasons for producing the products they do, is a desire to bring to African women, products more suited to and healthier for our skin and hair.

Come Watch Me Work At The Savvy And Chic Salon Day Out This Sunday The 7th of June!

While I have managed to tame the product junkie beast that was very much alive in me; I'm nervously chewing my lower lip now looking at this list because I have a feeling I will see several things that will begin to whisper seductively to that PJ beast in me lollllll!

Come hang with us at Naturals In The City 8!

Yay! The 8th edition of Naturals In The City is finally here! This Saturday the 28th of June 2014, The Omenka Gallery will come alive with ladies and their hair in all textures, hues and styles.

Yes you heard me - FREE!!! Now don't expect to get a full head of braids or whatever - manage your expectations oh!

There will be a product swap which was successfully done at NITC 7 and  so is being repeated this year - if you have any product (s) which you tried and decided wasn't for  you, bring it along with you and you may just find something you like that someone else didn't want.

The piece de resistance this year is the give away session!
