So let's get to it. Starting with the <b>glycerine and rose water</b> <div>I got this product from med plus at new Spar mall for about 1,500 naira. It can also be gotten at any local pharmacy around you. I love this product because it's really mild I use it around my eye area and it doesn't give any tingling sensation meaning that it is alcohol free. Glycerine is a really good product for the skin it balances oily skin and reduces the appearance of blemishes and rose water helps the skin remain soft and glowy (idk about you guys but I'm here for the glow💁🏽). I really like this product because it doesn't leave your skin dry it literally just sits into your pores and makes your skin feel refreshed.</div><div><br></div><div><b> Glam's body scrub</b> </div><div>Yo! You guys this body scrub is the truth no jokes. It made my skin feel like baby skin after I used it I got it for 1,800 at the same pharmacy and I also got a free tub too soo it was a good deal. On the tub it says that it's a micro peeling body scrub and that it has vitamin B5 and removes dead skin cells. In my honest opinion I think they really did a good job with the formula. </div><div> That's it for this post guys I'd love to know what you guys think about the above mentioned products and any other skin care product suggestion you might have for me.</div><div>Let's connect IG <b>@c_oo_kie</b></div><div>Snapchat <b>chi.bogu</b></div>Thewestafricanvoicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12602638598382505853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671083770096682921.post-44797024216694861722017-08-26T13:04:00.001-07:002017-08-26T13:04:14.755-07:00Things in my bag➰<p dir="ltr">Hey loves,</p>
<p dir="ltr">   Today I decided to post something a little personal and the tag I chose Was The "things in my bag" tag. If you follow me on instagram then by now you know about my love for bags. If you don't then what are you waiting for? Let's connect. IG: @c_oo_kie. <br>
   Let's get to it. So the first item in my bag is my charger because my phone is like my shadow I carry it every where I go (no jokes..everywhere).<br>
   <br>
2- The second most important item is my earpiece because I love listening to music plus It's a great way to avoid unnecessary talk with people (lol don't judge me). By the way I'm currently loving "questions" by Chris Brown. </p>
<p dir="ltr">3- Number three has to be tissues because you never know when you need to blot excess oil from your face; people who have oily skin know the struggle. Plus you never know when you need to clean stuff.</p>
<p dir="ltr">4- The fourth one has to be lip gloss and lip balm because I always have chapped lips and that's not pretty. </p>
<p dir="ltr">5- the fifth important thing has to be compact powder and a fluffy brush for all the makeup touch ups during the day.</p>
<p dir="ltr">6- sanitary pads. OK believe it or not I never go anywhere without one of those because I know how it feels to need one and there's non in sight so I decided to start being the sanitary pad saint 😁.</p>
<p dir="ltr">7- perfume, I love it when I smell nice like It's literally the first thing I notice when I meet new people so I make it my duty to always carry tester size bottles for random touch ups during the day.</p>
<p dir="ltr">8- sanitizer, the need for this can never be overemphasised It's a great way to avoid getting sick. If there's no water and soap available I easily reach out and grab my bottle of sanitizer.</p>
<p dir="ltr">9- hand and nail lotion, I always get ashy on my feet before It's noon so a tiny tube of lotion always helps me.<br></p>
<p dir="ltr"> Well I hope you guys enjoyed this post I had fun writing it. I'd love to know what and what are your everyday staples.</p>

So today I decided to style an Ankara piece for you lovely people and although the weather didn't want me to be great today I still overcame 😁 thank God.<br>
</p>
</div><p dir="ltr"><br>
</p>
<div align="left"><p dir="ltr"> So I today I styled a flared ankara blouse with bootcut trousers, heels, a turban and a belt. The blouse was made by my very talented seamstress @mizenyi on instagram. I really wanted to try out the flare style myself because It's a trend that definitely returned and it seemed really nice. I love the fact that it seems playful yet serious and can be worn to any sort of occasion depending on how you pair it ie either with trousers or a skirt.<br>
</p>
</div><p dir="ltr"><br>
</p>
<div align="left"><p dir="ltr"> I was going for a fun but serious look so I paired it with trousers and a turban. The blouse came with a belt but being me I improvised using the belt as a turban accessory and putting a random black belt in place of its original belt.<br>
</p>
</div><p dir="ltr"><br>
</p>
<div align="left"><p dir="ltr"> I used about 2yards of material in making the blouse just incase anyone is wondering and it was really affordable too. I hope you like what I've created. Ciao❤❤<br>

Telling you who to love and who not to and even if they don't tell you who to love they direct you on how to love who you love. Like WTF is that. And the funny thing is you actually start re addressing your ways. Its just pathetic how much peoples opinions mean to us sometimes. The truth is, friends or foes at the end of the day its only you you've got because life is too short to not be yourself. You're only you in the universe and you can't be 2 period and if you decide to love with all your heart then do it but if not then just do you. Don't let people push you to make very stupid impulsive decisions just to prove a point. Don't let people decide who you are. Don't let people who have little integrity with matters of life drive you to doing crazy stuff. Surprise them.</p>

In time all things meant to be will be but until then we live.<br>
   By the title of this post I'm sure you already know what its about. I've decided to start a rant series talking about random things that annoy me or make me happy and I also hope it helps some other person realize that its completely normal to feel the way they do.<br>
PS; I don't know how many rants that'll be in this series yet. </p>

And then there's the struggle to always deliver via appearance; well fear no more because you're not alone.                                                                   Over time I've discovered ways to not look like  my failing account balance soo I gat you😁.           Top 6 ways to look expensive :1) <b>flawless</b> <b>skin :- </b>this has to be the most important step because  if you have nice skin all other things would fall into place so darling drink lots of water, eat fruits,exfoliate, avoid unhealthy stuff because you are what you eat. I know that sounds corny but it's true.                                 2) <b>Personal hygiene & grooming 💆💇💅👄:- </b>okay so seriously cut your nails, brush your teeth  nobody likes talking to anyone with uncomfortable stench coming from their mouth 😰😷. Make it easier for everyone and yourself. Smell nice 🌺 it adds to your allure . Keep your hair neat and tidy wash regularly and style.                                                                                                                           3) <b>Stick to basics:- </b>plain white tees are literally your best friends, light colored jeans, patterned materials once in a while and minimal jewelry. Generally though find out what works best for your body type and wear them. Know your angles.                                                                                                                             4) <b>Invest in one or two expensive stuff 🎁:- </b>treat yourself to nice expensive stuff. I like to refer to them as timeless pieces, it could be a wrist watch, an expensive bag, a piece of jewelry, a gadget  or anything really. They automatically boost your appearance no matter how casual or laid back you look.                                           5) <b>Always wear makeup:- </b>Nothing over the top; mascara, well groomed brows and nude lips will do. Makeup helps you look put together not to mention, pretty too.                                                             6) <b>Confidence:- </b>the importance of being self confident can never be over emphasized because even when you put on millions of dollars and you aren't confident it's useless.                                               I hope someone finds these tips helpful.💛💙💜💚</p>

And this is also my first post this month. I wanted to just take this time to remind us of how mindful God is of us,  to remind us how faithful He has been to us regardless of our short comings. The truth is we don't deserve His mercy but He loves us still. <br>
      For this week I just want to encourage us to spend each day with the consciousness of the Holy Spirit with us and see how much difference it makes being aware of His presence all the time. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'll leave a link below to my favorite song of the week. Title : what can I do<br>

Running round in circles and never getting to a real destination. Well it hurts. It hurts especially when you know you're making effort when you know that you are trying your best. Why do some </b><b>ppl</b><b> have it easy and others not so much. Why does everything have to be </b><b>Soo</b><b> damn hard. The whole charade of having your life together might not be a lie because very few people get very lucky. On that note however I'd say that things get hard sometimes but don't stress over them because you'll go crazy (literally ). Let's go bit by bit a single step each day because you know; finally success is a sum of tiny seemingly insignificant decisions that add up so don't stop pushing your break will come. </b></p>

You can do anything you set your mind to don't let them tell you otherwise. You're made of gold and you sprinkle ice crystals every where you go because your heart is made of precious diamond💎. You are hurt yet you smile, you face adversity and still walk dauntless. There's no pretty face without a story no success without a struggle and so darling today I urge you to stand tall, chase your dreams because you can. Let your scars propel you and let the past inspire you. Dearest brown girl you're simply magical ✨✨✨. </b>Now that that's done I also wanted to tell you guys how excited I am for 2017 and all the amazing ideas I have for my blog.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">This out fit was originally put together by me around Christmas last year but I was going through my archives and saw it again and I was like "this actually looks really nice" so I decided to just leave it here 😋 .details of the out fit would be mentioned below. There's something about hounds tooth prints that drive me crazy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> These are not the clearest pictures but please bear with me. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">About the outfit: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Dress: Select </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Shoes: New look</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Jacket: unknown source</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> So I paired a hounds tooth print dress with simple black ankle boots and threw a jacket on top and with a littlebit of jewellery the look came alive. This look was really effortless and I think it'll <u>be</u> great for nights out with friends or a date. Tell me what you guys think about my look. Bye loves...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Ok guys so I've been using a couple of products (mainly herbal) for my skin and the results have been awesome.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<ol><ol>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">ACV(apple cider vinegar) :- is a really good skin toner, it can be a bit harsh tho so i dilute mine with water and a little honey. I apply it only at night because i feel like thats when it works the most plus i put on make up in the morning and I'm not sure how my skin would react with much chemicals all at once.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Shea butter:- shea butter has a really wide range of uses, it can be used to: </span></li>
</ol>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">repair dry skin</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">clear eczema</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">heal skin allergies, clear sunburns, wrinkles and blemishes to mention a few. So, with that said i guess its quite evident why i use shea butter on my skin 😁. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">EXTRACT:- This soap is made from papaya and calamansi. I discovered this product in 2014 from my friend; i tried it for a while but i was too scared to continue because i thought it'd make me lighter in complexion. But this year i saw a lot of reviews on it online and i decided to try it and it works perfectly for fading dark spots I've used it for a short while now and the results are nice. Yes it is a lightening soap but so far i don't think it lightens dark skin or at least it didn't lighten mine or my friends' and other dark skin people who put out their reviews online. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Bio oil:- While using this product you must learn to be patient because it works gradually it can take a month before you see a result depending on your skin type but one thing is certain, it works 💯. It fades spots, scars and stretch marks.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Cucumber:- this is not something i don't regularly make use of, but when i have the chance to i do. It revives the eyes, supplies lots of minerals that are good for the skin + its delicious and healthy too.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Well thats all about my skincare routine, Its really not difficult to follow and it works. I hope this post is the answer to someones skin problems. lots of love guys 💕... bye.</span>Thewestafricanvoicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12602638598382505853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671083770096682921.post-16517511047401283192016-04-20T11:38:00.000-07:002017-03-07T05:45:59.429-08:00Work In Progress II<span style="font-size: x-large;"> COMPLACENCY and INDOLENCE</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv1HtOdfE42I8HKn-DJP7UM1JqhuLi6NETEdORwCuLq5zbql5NRpbz_o0ynIP7fFnEoZaVqdgNTzDVT7t2I2oisM_E7UCQqCIGATAz4OhkaHUHJnrydhVIhSLBxDffMQb2Ov7Dyqd7E6nk/s1600/complacency.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv1HtOdfE42I8HKn-DJP7UM1JqhuLi6NETEdORwCuLq5zbql5NRpbz_o0ynIP7fFnEoZaVqdgNTzDVT7t2I2oisM_E7UCQqCIGATAz4OhkaHUHJnrydhVIhSLBxDffMQb2Ov7Dyqd7E6nk/s1600/complacency.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> To be complacent simply means to be self satisfied. Being self satisfied is not a bad thing i mean if you achieve all the goals you set out to achieve for the day you have the right to be satisfied with yourself but the aspect I'm referring to is when you become too complacent and then become stagnant because you feel like you have arrived. the truth is nobody really arrives there is no point in life when one feels 'oo i am ok i don't want anything again' the reason being is that the human wants are insatiable. In as much as being paranoid is not always the best but in this case some level of paranoia is allowed NB: i am not saying that it is good to be paranoid I'm just saying that a little paranoia won't hurt.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Okay so i decided to write about this because i got inspired by someone. Anyway Let me start by listing out a few things i would be talking about.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">PACKAGING </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">COMPLACENCY and INDOLENCE</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">FAKEITUDE ie fake +attitude (i learnt it from a youtuber @Tobe Nneji). </span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I was soo eager to write this post that i almost forgot to brush my teeth and yes i am aware that its 2:38pm but there are days like this when you just stay in bed all day. Anyway enough of the digression so it is time (in Rafiki's voice from lion king).</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Starting with the term packaging;<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgctD-DqD88lnnOro28_ai1pcBbI40xqw75nYGBEejwatFuUe2Ew1Y0-CpEU81R3qxgRAidBL0Yg4B6h5xVTH91160qNE8X6uiilFj52eM-sYwk_Q99zUKqw2qLL2JetDE026x5sn_NG94n/s1600/packaging.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgctD-DqD88lnnOro28_ai1pcBbI40xqw75nYGBEejwatFuUe2Ew1Y0-CpEU81R3qxgRAidBL0Yg4B6h5xVTH91160qNE8X6uiilFj52eM-sYwk_Q99zUKqw2qLL2JetDE026x5sn_NG94n/s1600/packaging.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> we all know that the way things are packaged make them more attractive and hence get more attention than the less attractive ones so also humans . Consciously or unconsciously we all tend to admire people that probably look good from afar and sometimes secretly long to be their friends but the question is this what happens when you get close to that person and discover that he/she is empty that it was really only the package, well naturally disappointment sets in and we now see through all the glitz and glam that once blinded us. LESSON: do not judge a book by its cover or rather do not judge people by the way they look period. But this doesn't mean that we should not look good and try to improve ourselves in various ways of course we must look good i mean (slaying is a necessity 😉) but then again you can't just look good and have nothing to offer you have to improve your self in all aspects so that everything is in equilibrium and people would have a good reason to stick around.which brings me to my next sub heading...</span>Thewestafricanvoicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12602638598382505853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671083770096682921.post-31077140014668579492016-04-20T03:44:00.000-07:002017-03-07T05:47:09.824-08:00Project Loving You❤ <span style="font-size: x-large;"><span id="goog_1024294785"></span><span id="goog_1024294786"></span><span id="goog_1024294787"></span><span id="goog_1024294788"></span><span id="goog_1024294789"></span><span id="goog_1024294790"></span><span id="goog_1024294791"></span><span id="goog_1024294792"></span><span id="goog_1024294793"></span><span id="goog_1024294794"></span><span id="goog_1024294795"></span><span id="goog_1024294796"></span><span id="goog_1024294797"></span><span id="goog_1024294798"></span>Have you ever thought about what the World would be without you how your family would've been;well I have and I discovered that I really want to be a part of this whole experience,whether or not the world is crappy or full of it I wouldn't choose non existence and I'm sure that's the same for every body or at least majority. So my point is; less complaints and more appreciation less hatred and more love ❤.Talking about love I saw an ad or a post rather, it was some sort of invitation for a program titled"project loving you" the program is based mainly for young girls but I think it should be for everyone because alot of people don't love themselves enough and if you don't love your self you cant love others you cant give or even share what you don't have so today I propose that you should start your own personal project of loving your self .Good morning cuties' have a great day and don't forget to love your self today.</span>Thewestafricanvoicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12602638598382505853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671083770096682921.post-19494904275994431672016-04-16T03:54:00.000-07:002017-03-07T05:47:43.144-08:00DO MORE<span style="font-size: x-large;">I got this from a book by John L Mason and it inspired me so here it goes.</span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
<i> Do more than exist.Live.<br /> Do more than hear.Listen.<br /> Do more than work.Excel.<br /> Do more than share.Give.<br /> Do more than coexist.Reconcile.<br /> Do more than think.Plan.<br /> Do more than help.Serve.<br /> Do more than read.Apply.<br /> Do more than see. Perceive.<br /> Do more than choose.Focus.<br /> Do more than sing.Worship.<br /> Do more than ponder.Pray.<br /> Do more than just live.Live for Jesus.</i><i> </i><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Ultimately doing a little bit more can go a very long way. Yours truly❤︎</span></span></h4>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">This morning I woke up with a lot of things on my mind
like what to do next with my blog, what I would want to focus more on,
how I want my life to be and so on. Amidst all these thoughts I got confused
because as I was thinking I was also surfing the web looking for other bloggers
and trying to get inspired. well I did see a lot of people (beautiful people )
but there was a problem; they all had their focus on things they enjoyed and I
tried to think of what exactly it was that I wanted to be writing or blogging
rather about but guess what? I couldn’t think of anything. Yes I was blank.
That moment when you are trying to think about what it is that you love to do
best. Well I didn’t come up with anything. Well as you all know by now I am
proudly African (Nigerian to be precise) and I like to think of my self as
multi-talented, kind of like a Jack of all trades and that(I would say) is a
bit of a problem now because I feel like i'm too confused to focus on a
particular thing but after a long time of thinking it hit me; it
really doesn't matter if you are mono- talented or multi talented.
You can achieve great heights either ways.</span></b></h3>
