Hello There!!!!

Hello Lovelies,

It has been a really long time since I had written something on this blog...what can I say or what excuses can I give except that the issues of life got me and zapped me to a busy place where life almost passed me like a whirlwind....Heck, it still feels like that but I felt a sense of nostalgia when going through my old posts and I had to do another one.

It is the festive period once again and Christmas was just last week. Thus, I hope it is not too late to send you best wishes for the holidays!!!

Waiting for the Right Bustop

Hello Lovelies,

I recently came across a write-up by the Naked Convos. (click here). Yes, their blog is BAE!!! The article talks about creating value value for yourself by waiting for the right one to come along instead of 'trying' and settling for countless others before they come.

Drey and just another OOTD

Hey Guys

How is your week going? Hope going on well. I thank God for mine so far. I received some good news about a friend of mine passing his final exams at CFA. It is one of the exams I hope to write in the future as  regards pursing my career in finance and from the feedback, I hear it is a pretty difficult set of exams so I always respect any CFA holder I meet.

Anyway, I digress *sideeye*. I have been meaning to do a post on my OOTD for a while now. This does not make me a fashion blogger in anyway.

The Dress

Hello Guys,

It has been a minute. How is Lagos and hustling? We thank God for his mercies.

Let me gist you about a dress I recently made.

Heat-free Stretching on Nigerian Hair

Hey Lovelies,

How is your week coming up? Hope it is going on well. The hustle in Lagos is very real but we pray that the good Lord continue to bless our efforts always. Currently, I am on a break from work to concentrate on studying for my exams coming up this weekend.

Over time, I have been reading about heat-free methods to stretch natural hair. Although I would definitely want to try the silk-press method on my hair in the future, I am all about heat-free methods currently.

Drey takes on Badagry Part 2 - Stint with Naijatreks

This is a continuation of my previous post .

After Seriki Abass Museum, we headed to a place called 'The Point of no return'. This is route in which the slaves were transported through to the Atlantic Ocean where the ship awaits them. They were taken across a lake and made to walk several miles to a well which is acclaimed to have memory loss functions once the water inside it was drank. The water in the well was given to the slaves to make them forget their homes and the people they left behind. Also, they were to forget the route they took in getting to the ship to forestall any kind of escape.

Drey takes on Badagry Part 1 - Stint with Naijatreks

Yo! Yo!! Yo!!!

This is a late post considering that I had a very tight schedule this week concerning work... However, I am glad that it is the weekend. How is your weekend going fam? How body? My excitement level usually shoots above the roof on friday only to come to its lowest ebb on sunday night...its like I have been living on a kind of euphoria that I can't explain. 

What would you get up to this weekend? Hope it is going to be fun for you. Last weekend, I went to Badagry with the girls courtesy Naijatreks. I first heard of Naijatreks from Berry Dakara on her trip to Ibadan. One of my new year resolutions was visiting more of our Nigerian / African tourist attractions (see my visit to Olumo Rock). I was able to convince the girls to come with me on this trip.

Drey and the weekend Bants

Hey People,

How was your weekend? Mine was pretty cool and went by in a flash. Sometimes I think that two days is not enough for a weekend and one extra day should be added. My mood always changes on Sunday evening (who is with me on this?)

I attended the Lagos color splash run 2015. It was meant to have happened in May but was postponed due to the elections. This past Saturday was a sanitation weekend so I had to be out early to beat the movement restriction. It was a fun event featuring a run / stroll / walk / crawl from Bar Beach through Akin Adesola to Adeola Odeku back to Bar Beach. I did both running and walking. At a point, I was not sure I could make it to the finish line but I did. There were also giveaways and dance aerobics.

Drey and the Access Women Network

Hello Guys,

How are you? In the words of Sisi Yemmie "How Body?". I know I probably sound like a broken record by now but who agrees with me that Lagos is stressful...say AYE!!

So Access Bank does a women event annually as part of the 'W' initiative which is a product that the bank is currently selling for women. It involves mentoring young women professionals, access to good medical treatments (inclusive of fertility treatments) funding at a very low interest rate. Women in Access Bank are also encouraged to join the women network and enjoy  these benefits too.

Weekend Bants

Hello Guys,

As usual, a weekend has ended (why does it feel that it goes by before you say Jack Robinson), It was a myriad of events.

I have been preparing for my assignment, thus it was a hectic one but in the midst of it, I had to attend a bridal shower of my good friend Bukky and yours sincerely was the photographer of the day.

Below are just a bit of the pictures taken, though you would not find me in the group ones as I was busy taking the pictures, I still managed to sneak in a good selfie at the end of the day..hehehehe

Stint with Nigerian Designs: Eve & Tribe

Hello Guys,

Been a minute. I know I have always said that I would change and be more in touch but guess life had another plan for me. In the yoruba language 'Emabinu', I have been trying to learn the language after spending about 3 years in Lagos but my friends tell me I suck at it, guess time would make a difference.

Back to the topic, I have always heard of the new trend which is wearing clothes made by Nigerian designers but I have always been skeptical considering the fact that the clothes might not be quality enough or be very expensive.

Buns and Nappy Living

Dear lovelies,

I know...It has been a while that I have been on here though I was with you in spirit.

It has been a couple of very busy months which involved changing jobs, elections burahaha etc. Speaking of elections,  the nation was agog with happiness this week over the success of General Muhammed Buhari aka GMB at the presidential elections.  It was a tense one which made a number of businesses lock up shop early. In all I must say that Nigerians really appreciated the efforts of Prof Jega in ensuring that the vote of the electorate counted and President Goodluck Jonathan for conceding to defeat. We all look forward to May 29th which is the swearing in ceremony.
