twenty twelve
It has been a longtime coming. [sigh]. About three years ago, i introduced my blog...this is a continuation of where i paused.
A whole lot has happened! I got married, and i am constantly evolving. :) I have a strong feeling that this year is going to be a great one! There's a "newness" about it. Of course, this year, i will bring more to the blog, including my makeup journey and quest to improve my photog skills.
So...stay tuned!

Introduction & Engagement
In the Yoruba culture of Nigeria, West Africa, there is a ceremony and celebration we call an "Engagement". 
This takes place after the couple's relatives have already met, introduced one another, and the lady's family has agreed to the gentleman's marriage proposal (This process is called an Introduction). The engagement is also known as the traditional marriage ceremony...
Most women of the Yoruba culture look forward to their engagement ceremony...the beautiful beads, laces, and their GELE, lol, and make-up of course!
Below is a picture of a beautiful bride during her engaement..gele & make-up done by, yours truly :)

Quick Bridal Skin Care Dos & Don'ts...
Since it's bridal season, I've been working with a lot of brides.
I find that a lot of brides don't know that a skin care regimen is pertinent to looking flawless on their special day...there's a limit to what make-up can accomplish with skin that's "texture-challenged".
Here are a few tips that I got from BeautyTipsHub, http://www.beautytipshub.com/bridal-tips/skin-care.html ...check it out!
Do's:
Maintain a healthy food habit at regular intervals
Follow a diet full of vitamins and nutrients.
Take ample rest and get proper sleep
Cleanse and massage your skin regularly
Seek professional help before applying makeup
Include yoga, exercise, and other physical activities as part of your health regimen
Dont's:
Avoid junk food, processed foods, caffeine consumption and foods high in calories
Avoid trying new cosmetics and makeup
Avoid stress and anxiety
Stay happy and smile a lot!
