Hello lovelies,

It’s only a few hours left before the year draws it’s curtains closed, all dreams and plans for 2017 is shut down as well hence, brought into the next year. Did i wish you a merry christmas? well here, merry christmas and a prospeous new year ahead.

This year especially for us in Nigeria, economically and security wise wasn’t as amazing as we needed it to be, but as a people, we should not lose hope but rather anticipate a better year ahead.

"A goal without a plan is just a wish".

As the title suggests, here’s a Wrap Up -2017 and 2018 in view:

My Life: The first lap started quite slow, especially as there was nothing to do for a fresh graduate, and then the NYSC came up, this was and is still the biggest deal for me in 2017. And even though this was my ultimate goal for the year, I had planned to undertake some tasks during my NYSC

2018 to-do list

On The Blog: Not much adjustments were made on the blog neither did I have much inspirations considering the one year scheme i'm into. Like, hey! I teach (place of primary assignment) prepare lesson notes for eleven classes, all thanks to NYSC. Nevertheless, more aspirations, targets and expectations in 2018.

Lately, I’ve been thinking and scribbling down some things I want to get done next year and also some habits to leave behind in 2017. So if you are like me and haven’t accomplished some things you planned for 2017, don’t lose hope, you could include them in your 2018 to-do list and work towards achieving them. It’s better late than never.

2018 not to-do

SKINSATIONAL REVIEW || ST.IVES ROUTINE

BEAUTY 10:57:00

Hey guys!

I trust you all are having a great week. I’m super excited that I’m still here in the northern part of Nigeria (Abuja). For my Nigerian readers, ya’ll already know of the ups and downs in the country (the Biafra thing). Before now, I had thought the NYSC (Blogged here) will automatically be dissolved come October. But God’s love and grace has kept us. No matter the pains,troubles and difficulties in life, we have to be hopeful still right?

I’ve been MIA, but am back full time, I promise.

Let’s dig-in into today’s post…

I’m not the type to use a particular skin care product, except my make-up which consists only of Classic brand-blogged here, but I tried this anyway. I have a natural problem free skin so I never had to worry about anything or using chemicals on my skin. Although one time I started breaking out with nuts on my face (I refer to pimples/boil as nuts) and of all things, really gets me worried and uncomfortable. Yuck!

I did the ‘just give it time’ thing but it was taking too long to clear. At first, I thought it was a sign for the natural ladies phenomenon but it wasn’t, which got me even more worried. I developed a shea-butter routine but didn’t help either. So I decided to ask people and get suggestions, some people said use ‘so and so’ products, others cleanser and develop a skin care routine. I was a bit hesitant especially using cleanser; it’s definitely a thumbs down for me. On the other hand, developing a skin care routine could become a habit and I honestly didn’t want to depend on products/chemicals.

I finally caved in anyway, I did my assignment, did some googling on the basic skin care routine and got to this. Behold! The nuts disappeared and there were slight enhancements on my skin as well.

Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle

I love to explore and try something new especially when the latter starts failing me. (it doesn’t have to be complicated). I also have plans of changing my soap after-all I’m in the spirit of trying something new *smiles*. I plan to give body liquid wash a try, I’ll definitely review here.

Beauty is, being comfortable in your own skin

For skin renewing, I use this St.Ives (collagen & elastin body lotion) but there are lots of options according to your skin type (N2800) which is both affordable and amazing.

St.Ives however, have other products like; visibly clear oil-free facial wash, scrub, cleanser etc. You may want to give it a try for a beginners skin care routine.
