As a lover of beauty products, sourcing for cost effective brands and easy to reach products are priorities I’ve come to incorporate into my beauty adventure.
It is no news that zaron beauty brand is making waves in the Nigerian beauty market (except you leave under a rock in Nigeria you’d probably not know this sha) and they’ve slowly carved out numerous products from lips, eyes, face and tools.
Go check out their page on Instagram and purchase cost effective and easy reach products on the go!
So on a Monday evening, doing my normal story watch on the gram (that’s the joy on Instagram to me btw) I stumbled into this makeup artist @beautybyteji and she gave a detailed illustration of how to do a complete makeup using zaron products.
You know how all those you tubers would say “Today I’d be doing my full makeup using all Mac products “ but they go ahead to start out using L’oreal Face primer, Fenty beauty foundation and all of that. This particular artist legit used all zaron products.
So, here are pictures with descriptions. Enjoy 😊
I’m all about being comfortable and confident when it comes to my personal style. That, also, is what this blog revolves around.
So pairing a white short, a black cropped turtleneck top and a pair of comfortable slides is an ideal style sense for stepping out on a day-time casual date.
Life Lately | Serving In Delta State | First Clearance Of 2020 | Do’s and Do Not’s For Corp Members On Clearance Day
January 09, 2020
It is yet another month which always comes with Nysc clearance (You need to be cleared monthly in order for the Federal Government’s 19800 to be paid). The clearance is usually conducted by the Local Government Inspector (LGI) who maps out dates for clearance and Corp members need to show up at the stipulated dates.
Well, January’s clearance was no ordinary clearance as it’s the first in the year 2020 and yours truly was already counting down to POP (Passing Out Parade).
Most Corp members dreaded going back to their respective PPAs’ and I was not far from the queue if not the first in line. The clearance was scheduled for 6th of January and the Sunday before then, I had packed my bags to vacate my house. It took all the courage I could muster not to stay back and leave the next morning being Monday. My mom was already giving me reasons why I shouldn’t leave that Sunday. Also, my younger brother became all moody.
I didn’t want to be caught up with the whole early morning travel because if I was to leave on Monday, I needed to leave as early as 6am in order for me to meet up with clearance. So I stood my ground and refused all tempting ideas coming from my family.
Thankfully, I managed to arrive at the park on time for me to board a vehicle down to Agbor, Delta State. Unfortunately for the passengers in the vehicle, we didn’t arrive at our destination in the vehicle we boarded from the park https://www.linkedin.com/in/rtc-nigeria-43253367 as it broke down just after the Onitsha-Asaba bridge. The driver of the vehicle literally waisted our time. After much waiting the passengers decided to board another vehicle.
Arriving at my destination by 6pm I was so exhausted from the trip meanwhile, my stomach was singing the worst melody. Mustering up strength, I cleaned up my space.
The next day being Monday, some of us who didn’t plunge in to the desire of spending one night at the comfort of family got dressed, goofed around with dozens of pictures and headed to our PPA for our clearance forms.
DO’s and DO NOT’s FOR CORP MEMBERS ON CLEARANCE DAY
Like every other person in authority, your Local government inspector might decide to exhibit superiority on the day of clearance. So here are tips to follow not to fall into the trap of being called a “scapegoat.”
Don’t ever forget your clearance form. My LGI is quite strict or bias because I sense that in him and wouldn’t allow a Corp member to thumb print without possessing a clearance letter stamped and signed from their PPA.
Dress properly. By properly I mean in your full Nysc regalia (Khaki trouser, white canvas or jungle boots and a White-round necked top).
No hair accessory like scarf or cap. Instead opt for the Nysc cap.
Be ready to exercise patience because some of the Local government offices barely have steady light and sometimes it’s on the day of clearance that the generator would be serviced. Most days you’d have to wait for your LGI to make an appearance-mine usually shows up by 11am or later. One time, I think clearance started by 1pm.
So if you’re going for clearance, go with enough patience stuffed into khaki pockets.

Style Tips: Perfect Style Tip For An Evening Stroll With Friends
January 03, 2020
Taking a walk in the evenings when I’m home at my parents has always been a stress relief for me. Incorporating such routine to my lifestyle came too easy because in as much it’s a stress relief process, I get to enjoy natural benefits that boosts my mood. The fresh air I get is insatiable and incomparable to any artificial air, seeing buildings lined up and just making little gestures towards strangers helps with my mood. Also, I get to take amazing pictures captured in a moment of self awareness.
Without further ado, here are tips to enjoying a stroll out.
Style Tips
Without further ado, here are tips to enjoying a stroll out.
Style Tips
Wear something comfortable - A pair of jeans might be a perfect fit for a walk out but I love to go for something loose and that is the reason why I opted for a crop loose top and a pinafore short.
Slides or flats: You’re going for a walk which would involve you walking for a long while. Therefore comfortable foot wear should be mandatory.
An eyeglass: As stated in one of my blog post, read it here. An eyeglass is a very important fashion item in a lady’s wardrobe.
As seen in my post, I substituted the eyeglass for a face cap. So if you are in the mood to dish the eyeglass and opt for a face cap, then by all means go ahead.
Items Needed
1. Go with your phone or whatever device you’d need to capture the moment.
1. Go with your phone or whatever device you’d need to capture the moment.
2. Take a friend, or, a/more family member(s) along.
3. It won’t hurt to step out with your purse and little cash just Incase you need to snack on something.
4. Go with water.
What to do while out
Make kind gestures to strangers- if you see someone looking good, compliment them. Automatically you put a smile on that persons face and your mood is also highlighted.
Take pictures of your environment or any good view you see. When I went for a walk of recent, I realized how much my neighborhood has changed - the roads were worn out, new buildings has spurned up, I also got to relive the moments my brothers played football with the neighbors on the streets as some group of boys were having a good time exhibiting such act.
Take pictures of yourself also. This helps to boost your confidence to a 100. Also, what’s an evening stroll out without dozens of pictures of oneself to admire huh?😉
Have a nice chat with whom ever is tagging along with you on the walk. If no one is experiencing such a tremendous time with you, then get your earphones out, plug it to your phone and listen to amazing musics.
I’m currently loving Nigerian singer, Davido’s jams titled; Risky, Disturbance, Blow my mind. Also a couple of Peruzzi’s tracks and Fire boy’s Vibration. This songs are virtually on repeat whenever the urge to feel good craves in.
I’d like to advice that everyone should incorporate such a stress free activity to their lifestyle as this doesn’t just do one good mentally, but also physically (a form of exercise). Nevertheless, some persons must have a much simpler approach to relieving stress and I’m curious to new opinions.

Two days to vacate for the Christmas holidays from my place of primary assignment in Agbor, Delta State, I went over the general hospital to hang out with some friends I had come to enjoy their company. While I was at ones’office, I developed a slight headache and quickly excused myself as I thought that the ceiling fan must have caused the sudden change of temperature.
So I left there, returned home, and thereafter, I was really sick. I was burning with fever - my head was on the verge of falling off due to the killer headache with literally no appetite of any sort. I got drugs for myself, but with no much relief as my body doesn’t respond to drugs except an Injection is administered followed up by drugs. So while others were in a jubilee mood, I was busy downing the drugs and hoping to get better.
It didn’t do any much work. So on Thursday I packed up my bags and headed for home. Grateful to God I was able to make it home in one piece. Later on in the evening, I and my mom went to the clinic, some tests were carried out which included a malaria, typhoid and Full blood count test; which came out as a Malaria ++ and an indication I had Typhoid. Immediately treatment commenced and I was given injections for three consecutive days. Later, some drugs were given to me with strict prescription to follow. That was the moment I started to regain most of my sanity. So while others were spending money on fun stuff, I was spending mine on consultation fee and drugs.

| Recovery process |
Still, the illness didn’t deter me from witnessing a family fun and contented Christmas. So 2 days till Christmas I was fully recovered, visited a friend and had an amazing time. There was no cash to throw around as other important matters came first. So I spent the rest of my holiday chilling with family, surfing the net, and perfecting my sewing skills.
In all it was not the way I planned to spend my Christmas. I had a bunch of ideas; go to the cinema, hang out with friends at a new spot in town, create amazing memories with family and spoil myself a little. But they say “things do not always go the way it’s planned.” Therefore, I can’t come and kill my self. Better days ahead that is what I solemnly believe.
It was not a detty December for me instead it was littered with other matters. Hope you had a fun Christmas at least a more fun time than I did.
