Hey my loves! 2017 is just a few sleeps away and I know so many of you are gearing up for New Year's Eve parties. I put together a silver glitter makeup look for you to rock on that day. You know I just had to pair it with bold red lips. Make sure you watch the video in HD for best quality and share with your friends. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already and I will definitely be seeing you all in 2017.😘

Hey guys! How're y'all doing? This is actually one of my favourite maxi dresses. I LOVE the colour too much. You all know mint green is one of my faves. I also like the fact that the inner lining is quite short so its a bit risque! I wore my denim shirt over the dress and tied it just like a crop top. The entire outfit had a bit of the 90's vibe and I loved it.

Whoop! New video alert. Hey guys, you all know how December is in Naija. So many weddings to attend and you have to look good to each of them. It's a Nigerian thing. Lol! Scroll all the way down and watch my video on this makeup look perfect for a wedding guest. My quick turban tutorial and entire outfit is also part of the video. Enjoy and please please please leave your comments, subscribe to my YouTube channel, like and share! Remember to watch in HD for maximum quality! 

Much love ❤️

I didn't put up a post the whole of last week and I apologize. I was super busy with bouquet orders and planning my sister's Call to Bar party. No vex! I'm back now and I wish you all a Happy New Month. December is here!!!

Still obsessing over gold this season. Maybe its because the harmattan air is a constant reminder that the holidays are drawing nearer and nearer. I created this make-up look in the spirit of the holiday season coming up soon. Perfect for all the owambe Christmas parties. Scroll down for the video and all products used to achieve this gorgeous look 😍

Hey darlings! I'm still all about promoting Nigerian brands because this recession doesn't seem to be coming to an end in the nearest future. And as if that's not enough, even with the crazy exchange rate, many banks have restricted the use of debit cards to shop on international sites. Well, I'm pretty sure of my bank and its so frustrating.

Hey darlings! I bet your week started off great. The year is almost over and now is the time to meet up with those goals before the year runs out. Its never too late, trust in God and be expectant.

Every girl needs a sequin dress in her wardrobe. This was the pretty dress I wore to my bridal shower back in May and I got a lot of compliments as well as questions on where I got it. I realised I didn't even post a full photo of the dress. That's unlike me so I decided to do a full blog post on it. 

Yea! What do you call yours? I've been calling them 'dungarees' since I was a kid.  I realised I haven't had a pair of this in my closet for the longest time so I was super excited when SheIn sent this one to me. What makes me love this piece even more is that the denim is distressed. Too cute. I requested for this in an 'XL' size and it is still fitted on me. With Asian sites, you must order in one or two sizes above your normal size because their sizes run so small.

Hey guys and welcome to the month of November. I feel Christmas already, my favourite time of the year. What are your plans? As for me I would really love to get away for a bit. Naija don tire person. Lol. Anyway, I'm super happy to share today's post and you will soon know why.

Hey honeys! Welcome back to my blog and today I have another makeup tutorial. Now I know we typically don't have fall season in Nigeria but I can't help being inspired by the plum, burgundy and brown shades all over Youtube for fall season right now. So, I decided to recreate mine and I hope you like it. This has been my go-to look in the last couple of weeks.

Hey my lovelies. Hope your week is going great. As always I love starting new things on the blog so I decided to start a series focusing on Nigerian brands. Now its no news that the country is in recession and shopping on international sites has become a burden with the exchange rates skyrocketing everyday. Its only wise to start buying Nigerian o! Our upcoming brands have been amazing me recently. They really have.

When you open my closet, you will see a wide range of colourful stuff. I'm not a sucker for dark and dull clothing so you can imagine why this dress appealed to me, While strolling through the Arts and Crafts Market with ChiomaJenni in this post here , I came across this dress and I had to have it.

I wore this jumpsuit to a wedding recently but I wanted to dress it up some more for the blog, so I decided to do a post showing how to rock it two ways.

Hey guys! Incase you are new to this series, at the end of every quarter I round up all my favourites and do a blog post talking about them. I also give options on where you can buy these items. This quarter my favourites consist of beauty products and FOOD! Lol.

Hey lovelies! I have a new makeup tutorial today. I didn't know I would be thoroughly enjoying making videos. Its fun! So you can expect so much more very soon. If you haven't subscribed to my Youtube channel, please, biko, ejo, support a sister and hit that subscribe button. You can also give the video a thumbs up if you enjoy it. I know you will.

Believe it or not, the two items I wore in this post are quite old. The chiffon blouse I've had for about four years and the skirt was tailor-made which I've had for well over a year. I styled it once here . Never thought of pairing them together but I did and it was perfection. Who knew blue and green could look so good together. I really want to make more of these lace skirts in different colours. They go with anything.

Its all about BangGood today. A lot of you have been waiting for this post to hear my reviews since I did a wishlist a while back. The team sent me some items from their makeup section. The White 10-piece brush set and five pairs of lashes in a pack! I checked out reviews on these brushes before deciding on them (they were good) and of course you can never have too many false lashes.

Super excited for today's post. I was so happy to finally meet Portia of JustPorsh and we did a blogger collaboration. Whoop! She also came along with Oluchi of Dleona Life and together we styled smart casual outfits. Three is definately better than two.

I'm all for tags now and I saw this one on a few beauty blogs. Its basically just doing a full face of makeup and letting your readers know the total cost of all the products used. Some are usually outrageous prices but for cheapies like me who deal mostly in drugstore products, the difference is clear, a bit.

Hey guys! Oh, how I would love to buy the crazy expensive primers the makeup world boasts about from top brands like Becca, Smashbox etc. But please, we need to cut our coat according to our cloth abeg! So, I remember getting a request on Instagram to do a review on the Zaron Face Primer. Today is the day but instead of just a review, I decided to add it to my save or splurge series by comparing it to the Nivea Men's After-shave Balm. Yes you read that correctly. if you haven't heard that the latter is used as a primer, where have you been? Anyway, let's compare both products and I'll let you know which one I think is totally worth it.

Hey guys! Today's post is a very different one. I was super excited when my fellow blogger, ChiomaJenni invited me to collaborate with her on a restaurant review and I was glad to meet her. I'm one of those people who say Abuja is boring and we have very limited places to explore but this is a place I was simply impressed with. Ever heard of Madiba Restaurant? I bet not. Read on for all the details.

Denim skirts are back! Whoop! I remember when I was a teenager, I had one or two denim skirts that I could wear 4-5 times a week. Yes, they were trending that much back then. And now, they are back in the fashion limelight. The beauty of fashion sha!

Hey lovelies! I'm tired of seeing this tag everywhere on the internet. On blogs, YouTube etc and decided to join in. I don't carry the whole world in my bag on a regular basis but here are the things I cannot leave home without. Curious? Read on!

Hello my people! Hope your week is going on great. Did anyone notice anything different with the blog? No I didn't change the interface yet but I finally got my own domain name! After blogging for two years I decided it was time to protect all the hard work I have been putting into my brand. There are plenty monitoring spirits out there and I needed to be jolted back to reality with the thought that someone somewhere can buy off my brand name and probably contact me much later to sell it at a freaking ridiculous price. Yes, it happens. (The same way I had to sprint to the Corporate Affairs Commission to register my business name 'The Wedding Cheapskate' recently in order not to hear stories that touch).

Hey pretty folks! I made it to YouTube!!! Finally!! A whole lot of you have been waiting for this. It took me so long to do another makeup post because I wanted to make sure it was a video this time. I think I did pretty well for a first video and I hope to do more soon. Let me know what you will like to be seeing on my channel and please please please do not forget to subscribe, like and share!

I rarely post African prints on the blog so I'm very happy to do so today. If you recall I attended the opening of the new Woodin store in Abuja here and the team gifted me a unique fabric. I promised to have it up on the blog once I'm able to sew something, so here I am.

I discovered an e-commerce website that sells all kinds of things from clothing to gadgets, phones, beauty products, household items and so on all for ridiculously affordable prices. That website is Bang Good and here is my current wishlist. You can never have too much makeup.

Hi guys! Its been raining everyday for the last couple of days in Abuja. Its getting a bit annoying. I'm guessing its the season of turtle necks and high-collar outfits so this turtle neck sweater dress comes in handy.

Hey loves! Today I'll be taking you through how to make one of my favorite mocktails. Now I have recently added cocktails and mocktails to my growing brand, The Wedding Cheapskate (view our pages here and here and I remember my dad telling me not to give out any of my business secrets. Well one recipe won't hurt, right? Besides, this is pretty easy to make so I'll let it slide. Hehehehe!

I was going through my old blog posts a few days ago and I realized how far I have grown as a blogger. Things have changed, my style has evolved, photos are better and my content has improved. I love it when people tell me they can relate to my blog and my 'girl next door' style of writing. That has always been my aim.

Hey guys! I don't believe it, we hit 100,000 views on the blog last week. Whoop! That's a pretty good feat to achieve in just almost two years. You all have been amazing, I tell you. Making a girl all emotional and wowed. Thanks for making this possible. Let's make this 1 million, shall we?

Very short and quick post, darlings! Sure you're wondering why I have makeup on only half of my face in the photo above. Well, I just thought to show you how makeup makes all the difference.

Its no surprise I had to join in on the off-shoulder/cold shoulder trend. There's just something soo pretty and feminine about it. This floral set was sent to me by an online website known as Zaful

I loved this set at first sight though I would have loved the top to be a bit longer but I think it works since I wore the trouser in a high waist style. The floral details also make it fun.

Hey my loves, I'm talking about my journey to entrepreneurship so far. Its been a couple of months I ditched my job for personal reasons and I got around focusing on blogging. Along the way, I started my own wedding planning company with additional services like bouquet designing and very soon, tasty cocktails and mocktails. All for very affordable prices. This blog has also been more recognised recently with more brand collaborations and sponsored content and I couldn't be more thankful.

Hello my darlings, how are you all doing? Today's post is about an event I was recently honoured to attend. Woodin just opened their very first store in Abuja!! Yea, you heard me! The date was Monday, 18th July 2016 and I have loads of photos from the event. but first a little info about the brand.

Yayy guys, this is my 100th post. Can you believe it? I have been hoping for a good occasion to do another giveaway and I am glad I have the chance now. You guys deserve it because you have stuck with me ever since I took on this blogging challenge. I have been having the time of my life so far thanks to you. This giveaway is going to be the biggest I have done. I'm going to be selecting two winners and the prizes to be won are even more exciting.

Hey darlings! Today's post is featuring an outfit from a website called FashionMia. I was contacted by their PR to review some of their clothing items and this pretty girly co-ord set is one of them.

It is such a smart outfit. If you work in a strict professional enviroment, the skirt may be too short. For me, its great for meeting up with my clients and happy hour at the close of business. The flourescent green colour is super beautiful and I also love the colourful detailing on the edges. The quality of the outfit is 100% top notch!

Trust me, this is not something I thought I would ever wear. I usually don't follow trends so the fringe craze did not appeal to me. However when I was gifted this casual fringe black and white dress, I became hooked and I felt like a rock star.

God save the queen!

That's part of the English anthem, right? Right! Hey my loves, long time no post yea? Been so busy with you know what. Our wedding is less than three weeks away, this is getting exciting!! Our awesome pre wedding photos are out just incase you missed it plus if you're itching to know our love story you can check all these out on our wedding website www.almajesse.com . Jesse worked on it all by himself with little imput from me. Techy hubby!

Pastel shades are my thing. Mint, blush pink, lavender and the likes. SheIn sent this to me recently and I picked this dress because its versatile. Its perfect if you work in a corporate enviroment or it can pass for a normal Sunday outfit. I decided to pair it with white accessories to bring out the pastel shades more.

Hey darlings, another quarter is over and you know what time it is. I can't stop having favourite things because I try out new stuff everyday. Today's post is a mixture of beauty products and wellness living! Enjoy.

Hey my loves. I cannot believe how fast the days are flying by, wasn’t it January a few days ago? Lol. Preparations for one of the most important days of my life are in top gear, I need to catch my breath, SERIOUSLY!  Anyway here is wishing you all an amazing Easter celebration in advance and never forget the reason for the season.
