Inspired by stylevitae five things this week and an insane urge to put up a post, I’ve decided to do a “five things i’m loving lately” post (i might even make it a regular every sunday).
1. Harem Pants : I pulled out my abandoned black harem pants recently after I saw yagazie emezi in hers and I was immediately reminded of the comfort of the harem pants. Safe to say I’ve been wearing it a lot these past few weeks and can’t wait to share some of the looks with you, in fact I’m wearing it right now as I type this. Lol
Yagazie Emezi
2. DIY Love Notes Card : Ignore the name it can
be used for any type of informal note. I made that during my convalescing period as i couldnt get out to buy cards for the bae who was travelling for 2weeks and i wanted to give him two weeks worth of hand written notes to open for each day he was away. I’ve used it to leave notes for my sister too and its just fun for me. Lol . Let me know if you’ll like a full tutorial of this.
3. Order To Lagos : I hardly shop online with stores not based in Nigeria because i’ve heard too many bad stories about misplaced orders and what not that i don’t even want to risk it at all and it sucks because asos has so many nice and affordable shoes that i wouldn’t mind having in my closet so when i heard about order to lagos recently, i was like aha! Maybe this would be my saving grace. They help you buy anything you’d like from any online store in the US and deliver to your doorstep. You can find out more info on “www.ordertolagos.com”
4. Neutrogena oil free facial wash & St. Ives daily hydrating body lotion : You remember how i was going on about how my face has been taken over by acne in this post?! Well, i finally decided to take some of yall’s advice and build a skin care regime. All my life, i haven’t used anything special on my face, not even body lotion so i was really sceptical about using anything on my face now. I waited for a while for the acne to go on its own but mba! My friend dami advised me to get the neutogena oil free cleanser and i’ve been using it for like a week now and i can already see improvements!! Haa! My face feels smoother and softer. I made my mum and sister touch my face (with clean hands of course) to feel the softness and i just couldnt stop going on about it.lol. I bought the body lotion after i read a review on Ibukun’s blog apparently its essential to moisturize after cleansing to replenish the moisture or something -_-. Slowly, i”ll work up the courage to get a facial scrub, mask and toner to build a complete skin care regime
5. Chocolate Royale’s Chocolate cake : I’m not exactly sure if this cake has a special name but
i’m sure of what it does to my taste bud. The first time i got it from a friend on my birthday in december and i’ve had it two times again recently. It tastes soooo good but its increasing my waist line or is that just due to lack of exercise? *sigh* Chocolate royal makes real good chocolate cakes!

Ikr! Its so "laid back" cool!
Yes please share the tutorial for the cards! 😀
I will in my next post. Thank you for not making me feel like its a silly idea! :*
I love the idea, think I might as well join you and do these maybe once every 2 weeks or so 🙂 Love the harem pants btw.x
Aww the Love notes :')
I love writing letters a lot. I've made a couple of handwritten cards myself in the past.
The little things matter a lot and that's what most people don't get. Cards especially hand made ones are so thoughtful.
^_^ I think the little things matter a lot and people haven't realized that yet. Hand written notes/cards get me everytime. Never stop doing written notes
Cassie has gone soft!!!!!*squeals* My friend is doing something to you!! Hehe. And I saw those pants on you, remember? Right now I'm really loving long ankara dresses, my brown lipstick by some designer and just dressing up generally!!
Abike. Lool, leave me oh, I've always been soft. -_-
Brown lipstick? That I want to see! And yes I've noticed the dressing up part ;D
the harem pants looks good on you…I want the cake…I hate shopping online in non-Nigerian stores, guess I will check out this store.
You should get the cake, its amazing!
Thank you lara
Cassandra, when do we see the bae?
LOL. Neverrrrrrrr
Unlike me, u can never catch me wearing a harem pant, it makes my but pop out. Your spontaneous super real posts is just refreshing and did I read bae?
As for things am loving lately,1. fez hat and its look alike after your fezzed up post. Av been rocking it lately yet to put up a post though. 2. There is garri my friend bought from port novo Benin Republic, babe that garri is something else, I can't drink it enough. Its so cripsy and has coconut milk. Lastly one brown satchel bag gifted to me by a friend, I literally carry it everywhere.

I love harem pants and DIYs!!!!!!!!! yaaaay.. waiting patiently for the next post.. I'm happy you found something that works for you.. I think my skin and Neutrogena products have entered a 'see finish' relationship 🙁 it no longer works for me.. now trying natural alternatives (Tumeric powder and milk mask, mousturizing afterwards with shea butter at night only) considering investing in Clinique products I have seen amazing reviews about them…. Top five things for me this week? 1. Watermelon!!!!!!! 2. Ripped Jeans (DIY ofcousre 😉 ) 3. Graphic T-shirts 4. Long walks and 5. Music (New found love for Kari Jobe)
Tweeny Tee
I love all things that has to do with DIY – from cooking..lol..to sewing to crafting…any and everything. So bring on the card tut.
Thanks for stopping by at mine earlier, loving your site.
