Foodspiration - From Nigeria with Love

Image
Hello Loviesssss, Today i'll be doing my first food post - Yipeeeeeee.  I was thinking since the holiday is almost here, i should give us a little foodspiration.  Today's meal is called Moin-Moin , steamed bean cake or steamed bean pudding; don't mind me, i kept searching for a proper english name :-)  Its made from brown beans or black eyed peas. Its very high in protein and can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Please follow me as i take you into my moin moin making journey. I hope you find this post helpful.  By the way, i decided to use the leaves and not cups because i wanted to get the taste of the leaves in the moin moin. Lets remember that this is my own style of making it and when making yours, you may choose to twick it here and there to suit your taste. Enjoy. xoxo. Ingridients -Black Eyed Pea -Red Pepper (Ata Rodo) -2 Meduim Onions -Palm Oil or Olive Oil -5 Eggs -2 large smoked fish -Moin Moin Leaves -Knorr Cubes (or preferred seasoning) -Salt to ...

Figure Flattering Fashion - Swimsuits for all body types.

Image
Hello Loviessss, I trust the week has been good so far? I was watching one of my favorite TV shows, Steve Harvey's talk show; the author of "Act like a Lady Think Like a Man". Its an amazing book and i recommend it for all ladies. That guy understands women so much its scary :-) Anyhoo to the gist of today. During the show, they talked about different body types and how hard it is to find swimsuits to suit our different shapes. I decided to a post on our usual figure flattering fashion which teaches us how to flatter areas we are most conscious about. Hope you find this post helpful. Enjoy. xoxo. Quote of the Day: Be ready to go against the wind to rise or succeed; those who are scared never try. Boyish Shape: The cut out sides gives an illusion of a slightly shapely body. Halter top provides push up for burst. Flatter your burst: The deep plunge in the picture below enhances burst and the ruffles in the other picture makes the burst appear bigger.  Hide Love Handles: The...

Hello Loviessss, I had these pictures taken when my friend visited from Abuja. After two nights of gisting and catching up, she decided to go swimming; unfortunately I couldn't stay with her because i had loads of things to do that saturday so i dropped her off and came back for her.   Seeing that my day would be busy, i made sure my look was basically comfortable, easy and stylish. Thanks for always reading. xoxo. Quote of the day: Love, Laugh, Listen.   Sheer Blouse - Zara, Sunglasses - Gucci   Leggings - Forever21  Neck Piece - Macy's  Bag - Micheal Kors

LBD to the Rescue

Hello Loviesssss, How have you all been? So good to be back to blog world. I am sure some people thought i had gone awol again :-)  Been really ill; was battling a bad flu that left me in bed for four days. I kept wondering where the flu came from seeing the weather has been extremely hot. Someone said "Our Oga at the top" (trending joke in Nigeria) has sold Nigeria's ozone layer for only God knows what.  I haven't had flu this bad in a while. Interestingly my body had been giving me warning signs but as usual i just ignored.  I finally resumed work today and i just thought to take it easy. Was not sure of what to wear cos i didn't want to be uncomfortable at all. Thankfully my LBD came to the rescue.  BTW, thank you all so much for the feedback on my personal style post. I am working on posts on what i wear weekends, to church, weddings etc. Baby steps...*wink*  Thanks for always reading. xoxo. Quote of the Day: Its not always about the price tag, its real...
