No New Year's Resolutions!!!

Hello dolls,

I'm sure a lot of you will be wondering what the rationale behind the title of my post today is, I'm sorry to disappoint you but it's exactly as it sounds.

NO RESOLUTIONS!!!

And no I'm not crazy. I arrived at that decision based on my experience with new year resolutions over the past couple of years. In my experience, resolutions put you under some sort of pressure and you feel like you have to achieve so much in so little time and most times because its just you placing the pressure on yourself, without a concrete plan to achieve the "resolutions", you can't sustain it beyond the first couple of months and you end up not achieving anything all year long
 .

And so i thought to myself does that mean I'm gonna go through the year without achieving anything? and then it occurred to me

YOU DON'T  HAVE TO MAKE RESOLUTIONS BEFORE YOU ACHIEVE ANYTHING!

yes you read that right. You just have to have a plan

And for that plan to succeed you have to break it down into goals and also  break each goal into steps. Breaking everything down like this makes achieving your "resolutions" relatively easier and you're better motivated to achieve them all

 

You could also invest in some planners and schedulers that would better help you to  achieve all your goals, a very good one I know of and I also use is Power Planner by POPs concepts. Its available in lagos and also ships nation wide

There you have it dolls. I hope I've been able to convince you to spend more time writing your goals and breaking it down rather than writing some resolutions you'd abandon within the first month of the year.

Till my next post,
'Dolapo

Look Of The Day | Pretty in Pink

Holla Bellas,

Hope you had an awesome weekend? I did and I am excited to start a new week

So  I decided to do a look using only shades of pink. Initially I thought it was gonna be too matchy matchy, but it still came out beautifully. I totally love how it turned out. And I definitely love how the photos came out too.{though some are kindly blurry, oh well...}

Product Review | Maybelline Fit Me Matte +Flawless foundation

Holla!!!

How are y'all doing? So I am back again today You're surprised right? you can say I'm on fire and i'ts probably cos at some corner in my brain I'm being prompted to make up for lost time. I'm shocked I got so caught up with life that I literally forgot about the blog, but that's all in the past now.

So today I have a product review.Its the Maybelline Fit Me Matte +Flawless foundation. It was the Rave product a while and I am just getting around to doing my own review for reasons you know already. It was created for oily skin types and its meant to keep your face matte +flawless. Hence the name, you get?

Nail of The Day | Intense Fuschia

 Hi dolls,

 How are y'all doing today?

I realized I haven't done a nail post in eons {as with every other subject, but please pardon.} Anyway I decided to paint my nails with this pretty nail polish.

But the unfortunate thing is that Its brandless, maybe not brandless, maybe the name tag was removed. either ways, I got it in a goodie bag from Makeup Maven NG at a bloggers' event a couple of months ago. I decided to not allow its "brandlessness" stop me from enjoying a beautiful manicure,lol.

The nail polish is an intense fuschia colour, and honestly just a coat is okay but i'm used to doing 2 coats, hence why i used 2 coats. It also has sparkles that even makes it all the more beautiful, I'm still gonna try to find out the name although that's almost impossible, wish me well :-}

I applied a base coat as usual and then 2 coats of the nail polish followed by my favorite top coat, Seche Vite and then I took the liberty of taking lots and lots of beautiful pictures

Oh and by the way, those are all mine

I hope you love the post, i enjoyed putting it together and I definitely enjoyed painting my nails. So cheers to the beginning to more awesome nail posts, yaay!!!

Till my next post
xoxo.

Event| Lagos makeup and Beauty connect

Hi dolls,

How's the new week treating you. Yesterday sunday 13th september was and I attended.Its an event for makeup artists and beauty lovers to connect and mingle. The turnout wasn't as I expected but it was still fun and informative.

  

 

 

  We discussed how to maximize social media to grow your beauty business.This was like the major topic I must say I really learnt so much. Lollipops also shared some general tips on growing your business. I even got carried away at some point I forgot to take pictures lol

    

So here I’d let the few pictures I took do the rest of the talking

Altogether it was a great learning experience. I also got to meet a couple more makeup artists in the industry. I'd be sure to keep you informed on subsequent Industry events

Have a lovely week, xx
