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 ...

YAY!!! ITS MY FIRST BLOG POST!!!!!!!

 Hello Everyone, Hmmm writing this blog post (my very first blog post) today no be beans oh… it actually took me a minimum of one month! I mean one whole month! Cheiii No be say I no sabi wetin to write lol but because I just wanted to be sure that taking the blogging route is my thing.  You wont believe that I looked at my Journal (yeah I had to buy a special journal for this) every day and night without knowing where to start from, how to start, or what to say. My friend Tosin kept asking me how far with the post and I kept replying “Ohh am on it” but then I remembered that before I go into anything, I like to do my own research and get 70 – 80% details before taking a dive. I started researching on the cons and pros of Personal blogging, it took me a long while to conclude on doing this because then I stumbled on Joshua Becker’s “15 Reasons I think you should start a blog” you can actually check it out on his blog  www.becomingminimalist.com/15-reasons-i-t...
