Weekend Bits And Things…

If you’re subscribed to my blog’s newsletter (subscribe here yo!), then you would have received one of my lovely new post update emails where i also mentioned that I had quite a bit of activities planned for the long break but with no one to go with. Well, all that changed eventually and here’s what I got up to this holiday break.

– On thursday, I had planned to go for a shoe store viewing event on thursday but with the rain and all, I just ended up heading to my uncle’s house and chilling with my small cousins.

– I had my catwalk classes back to back from friday to sunday and I’m real happy to say that I finally finished the first edition of my catwalk workshop.
I can’t wait to share all the details with you in a blog post, but for now please follow our official page @cassiedavescatwalkclasses on instagram for updates and to watch some of the videos.

– On friday, I went for an art exhibition at freedom park after my catwalk class but not before stopping at KFC to grab a quick lunch and ice cream.
One of the artists exhibiting is a partner in a group I’m in but I had never met her in person so I wasn’t sure who she was. When I eventually realized she was the one I had been exchanging eye contacts with, it was too awkward to go say hi. Lol! She probably thinks I’m a snub now *sigh*
But why can’t other people come say hi though? (Fear of being snubbed?)
I loved Eloghosa Osunde’s little bits of poetry in addition to her exhibition and I plan to still do a poetry feature on her soon. The quote in the picture was the one I used as my opening quote in this post on staying true to yourself.

– On Saturday, I hooked up with a new friend I met on twitter, she’s Cameroonian and was in Nigeria for a short holiday. I wasn’t sure what to expect though, my sister said she’ll probably have a funny african accent. Lool but nah, she sounded quite Nigerian and is a really cool person. Not only is she pretty but her vibe is also pretty ( Yes to new friends?! Yes!)
We went to the Dolce and Gabanna velvet collection launch (perfume) at the palms. I was a bit dissapointed sha because I wore heels (and y’all know I’m not exactly a huge fan of wearing heels), only to get there to find that it was a sort of casual event sef and wasn’t even held in the store proper. Thankfully I met some of my fellow bloggers there (Mide, Tuke, Tosin and Deola), took some blog pictures, had the nicest cupcake and left with a goodie bag.
Their brand manager is like the nicest person ever, she was so warm and welcoming!

– Also stopped by at the diesel store in lekki for the art exhibition they were having in collaboration with Re.Le on saturday after the Dolce and Gabanna event. That place felt so unwelcoming! My God! We just took mirror selfies and left

– I spent my sunday teaching my catwalk class and then just going home to rest afterwards.

– Monday isn’t technically ‘Weekend’ but I hooked up with my friend again and we planned to go to hans and rene for ice cream but ended up going to Maison Fahrenheit for lunch and then hans and rene afterwards.
I plan to still do a review of hans and rene and that’s why I didn’t share lots of pictures from there, but not quite interested in doing a full review on maison fahrenheit but I liked the view, the service was a bit slow plus the waiters weren’t paying much attention to us, the burger cost 3000Naira, came with the fries as a side and the strawberry smoothie (which was really nice) was 2000Naira.

I know its a bit too late to be asking how your weekend went but I’ll like to read what you got up to nonetheless and also what you plan to get up to with this coming holiday.
Also, congrats on getting through half of the week and I hope its been good so far?
