glycerine and rose water ft glam's body scrub

Hey guys, it's been too long but today I have something good to share with you and it's a skin care product review as indicated by the title. So let's get to it. Starting with the glycerine and rose water 
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.

 Glam's body scrub 
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. 
 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.

Things in my bag➰

Hey loves,

   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.
   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).
  
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.

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.

4- The fourth one has to be lip gloss and lip balm because I always have chapped lips and that's not pretty.

5- the fifth important thing has to be compact powder and a fluffy brush for all the makeup touch ups during the day.

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 😁.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ankara flared blouse 💜🖤💜

Hey loves, it has been a hot minute and I'm excited to be posting again. 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.


   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.


   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.


  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❤❤

Rant series 🗣 (1)

People come into your life trying to change who you are. 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.

The rant series 🗣

Sometimes I try as much as possible to not say hey or hi or any other form of greeting when starting my posts because I'm very certain that I'm the only person who reads my posts but oh well; it doesn't really matter. In time all things meant to be will be but until then we live.
   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.
PS; I don't know how many rants that'll be in this series yet.
