MY TRIP TO OPOBO KINGDOM

Hey Guys!!!

Happy New Month!

Happy Everything jare!! It have teh!

Hope you all are having a wonderful time, because mine has been stressful but fun. i have been up to a lot of good things and am grateful to God for his grace. Yes i know i haven't been consistent with my blog but am believing God to do better.
This Post has been in my archive for a while now, it is about my trip for the first time to the great ancient town of Opobo Nkoro.
I haven't been to the riverine area of Rivers State that requires crossing over to the another island with a ferry since we relocated from Bonny Island to Port Harcourt town at the age of seven (7).
So it was mad fun traveling for my Bestie's traditional marriage. It was truly an adventure for me!!!! Congratulation to Queenth and David!

From all our plenty teeth shining am sure you will see that we were really having fun using the ferry to cross over. For some, it was their first time being on a ferry, for others, it wasn't but in all, we had massive fun!!!!!.

The serene was also so cool and natural that i couldn't help but take a few snap shoots

Good luck Bell

I was told by my friend that they have this ancient belief that on the 31st of every December, people gather around this bell, hold it and say a wish for the new year before they all join hands together and push the bell, causing it to ring. Once that is done, they believe that come the new year, their wishes will definitely come to reality..... lol.
I really don't know how true this story is but i doubt if such belief still exist.

Because she is my Bestie, i had to assist in the cooking so getting too dressed for the occasion was just a formality and i wasn't ready to come and kill myself with that biko!!! I quietly went for my Ankara shift dress and my Next flat sandles, leaving my hair out.


everyone of us that did the cooking for her goofing around.

Asked if i had fun? yes i did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . I can comfortably say my major highlights were the boat ride and the fact that my friend is married!!!!!!!!!! Whoop!!!!.

Have you ever been to Opobo before as a visitor? what was your experience and what was your major highlight.

PRODUCT REVIEW: FIGHEALTH BRIGHTENING TURMERIC BLACK SOAP.

Hey guys! Its another new week! And i believe you all had a wonderful weekend! OK lets talk about the Fighealth Store Turmeric black soap that i have been longing to try out for so long! Yessssssssss!!! I was skeptical about buying this brand of black soap because i have had my own share of the black soap Experience irrespective of the good stories that comes with each of these soap! I have a very sensitive skin so i always find it very difficult to try out new beauty products because when i do, it is either they start an acne war zone on my face or they dry out my skin unnecessarily. But with all the good reviews i have seen from users on Fighealth Instagram page, i went straight to ordering the soap before i change my mind oh. The soap is of two types, the regular type that contains coconut oil and egg but also needs to be refrigerated at all time and goes for 4,500. The second type is for sensitive skin and does not contain either co

PROTECTIVE STYLE: CORKSCREW THREADING!!!

Hey Guy! So sorry i havent been regular lately but girl am so excited!! whoop! whoop!! whoop!!! So i went to the market the other day and bumped into this beautiful lady, guess what caught my attention! her hairrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! Omg!!! Her hairstyle was something we see mostly among school children. But for a young pretty girl at that to make this type of hair, Mehnnn i just knew i was definitely going to give it a trial. Lets say i have been natural for the past 2year and i know most people in the natural hair community uses the African threading as a means of stretching their hair to avoid the use of heat which can cause hair damage. But when i saw this lady's hair i knew that will be my next hair style. My only challenge was that i didnt know the name of the hair 😆 but trust me and goggle (my best friend) i searched via African threading pictures until i found sample of what i was looking for! Yes!!!!! "Oya dab" 💃💃 i used 5 packs of Brazilian wool
