Right here’s the factor – This put up was meant to start out otherwise. I had my strong intro pat down, full with the jokes and a fast story to go. It was sensible. However halfway into scripting this, I spotted that I used to be jumbling manner too many posts into this one put up, and determined to interrupt it into two as a substitute.
This meant having to determine between a weekend bits put up and sharing all of the dope footage I took on the New Afrika Shrine. Weekend bits gained.
I haven’t accomplished a weekend bits put up shortly, and it isn’t for lack of content material. It simply by some means obtained pushed to the again bench of my “content material file”. However one of many issues I deliberate to do extra this 12 months “blog-wise” was positively to reintroduce a few of my outdated classes – reader highlight, type conversations, weekend bits, candid discuss
Right this moment’s put up actually is extra a mixture of weekend bits and Lagos residing. It’s a little bit of an extended learn too however I hope you guys take pleasure in it and hold forth within the feedback after studying.
The Youtopia Magnificence Brunch.
On Saturday, I obtained to attend a Magnificence Brunch put collectively by Youtopia (a web-based magnificence retail retailer) to launch their new/first product – The YouSkin Vit C face serum. I virtually didn’t make it however I’m glad I did as I discovered a number of skincare classes.
The brunch was held on the dainty restaurant in V.I – La brioche, in an excellent intimate setup with a number of different influencers and entrepreneurs.
La brioche actually is such a good looking place and the occasion was fairly refreshing. The meals was good, the dialog flowed (though if I’m being sincere – I used to be extra of an observer than a partaker) and skincare routines/ideas had been shared. Founding father of Youtopia Magnificence, Nnenna Okoye additionally spoke about launching her personal product line – the face serum and an Pimples package dropping subsequent week, and the advantages of getting a skincare routine.
On the occasion, I discovered that:
- Black cleaning soap isn’t good for the face. Truly, soaps (bar kind) typically as they comprise a excessive stage of sulfur used to assist them lather nicely. Cleansers are the most effective for the face.
- Lemon juice isn’t good for the pores and skin both as a result of if it’s excessive acidic nature.
- Vit C serums and sunscreen ought to positively be a key a part of your skincare routine.
Do you know any of this and what do you assume?
I left with my very own YouSkin Vitamin C serum and will certainly share my ideas on it after I’ve used it for some time.
Are Vit C face serums part of your skincare routine? If sure, which one do you utilize and do you assume it has made any distinction to your pores and skin?
On Sunday, I made my solution to the legendary New Afrika Shrine – house to Felabration and the Kalakuta Museum with blogger boo, Alex. Though, I’ve determined to depart this for one more put up completely so look out for my full put up on this expertise.
Afterwards, we determined to take a look at the Home restaurant as a result of the “FOMO” spirit was lively in us and we simply had to take a look at what all of the hype round The Home Lagos was about.
The Home Restaurant V.I – A Dwelling Away From Dwelling. 
Our final cease for the day was the Home restaurant in V.I, Lagos – a brand new spot I’ve been seeing throughout my Instagram. It’s another/tremendous artistic restaurant and chill spot. It seems to be like a correct home, full with a front room, research – the entire works.
We obtained a fast tour after we obtained in and I used to be tremendous impressed! It truly is such an important thought and whoever owns that place must lend me his mind as a result of dope stuff! And even doper execution.
The one draw back is that the service is a bit sluggish and the menu a bit dear (though that is relative as a result of all of us have completely different pocket sizes and budgets for consuming out).
We settled for what appeared like essentially the most filling possibility on the menu – The ofada rice bowl and I LOVED it! The meals was so good. I had zero complaints. The Home restaurant in V.I is really a house away from house. Good meals, good vibes, and aesthetics, It’s positively price a go to.
