Happy Easter! It's still easter right? Today should be Easter Tuesday :D.

How were your holidays? I Personally. Just ate alot and visited family.

This year i was particularly fascinated by easter eggs.  .  .  Do they hold any particular significance? Is there a story behind them? If you know please do tell in the comments. 

Enough of my rambling,  today I'll be talking about 3 things I'm currently loving.

Wafer Sticks

This is my yummy secret addiction. If i don't get my fix in a day i become restless.

They are basically long wafer sticks with cream inside the sticks.  They  are very yummy and could be used for desert with a scoop of ice cream by the side.

There are two types i eat. The are both by Hansbro one in a peachy pink pack and the other (Noreds) in a blue and pink pack.

They are affordable too. The one in a peachy pink coloured wrap has 4 sticks inside and goes for 30 naira per pack while the one in a blue and pink pack has 8 sticks and goes for 50 naira per pack.

Just check your local provision shop or even the aboki on your street or in your area to find it.

Wattpad

If you've checked my meet Onyinye page HERE you would know i love to read novels. Like i even have a scar under my chin from when i was about 8years old. I was sent on an errand but hid a novel in my clothes, i eventually found myself face down in a gutter by the side of the road obviously because my head was inside the book while walking.

But i digress .  . Wattpad is basically a writing community in which users are able to post articles, stories, fan fiction and poems. And it also allows you read gazillion books(that's a bit exxagerated) a lot of books either through the website or the mobile app The awesome thing? Its totally free! And you can read books even while offline once they're in your library.

Wattpad gets it's wonderful stories from undiscovered writers, published writers, new writers, with all users being given an equal chance to write. Since there are about 35 million visitors to the site per month, it's a great place to publish your story if you're a writer and want people to read your work.

There are alot of sections to choose from Science Fiction, Chicklit, Mystery/Thriller, Humour, Action, Romance, Adventure, Horror and much more.

This app helps me get through boredom alot. You can download the app in your appstore.

Mnet Family and BET on Dstv

Prior to discovering these stations, I mostly watched just Spice (Channel 192) and E! (Channel 124). But ever since i discovered them my love for that rectangular or sometimes square box that produces picture and sound has increased.

Mnet Family(Channel 162) is a very wholesome channel to watch with the whole family. Before a programme starts it is given a rating so you know what type of scenes the programme has. I particularly appreciate this as my Dad has on more than one occasion has given me the dreaded side eye when he saw a flash of a nearly naked woman while i was watching E! (probably one of the kardashians).

Some of my favourite shows on Mnet Family include America's Got Talent, Family Feud,  The talk and Two Broke girls.

I discovered BET(Channel 129) when BET 2 stopped showing.

BET has a myriad of black american shows and films. If you're a fan of Will Smith or Martin Lawrence you'll be pleased to know that they are currently showing reruns 90's sitcoms; The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Martin.

But my favourite show on the channel hands down would have to be The Wendy Williams Show(How you doing?).

That's it folks.

How were your holidays? If you know the story behind easter eggs do tell? What are your favourite Channels/Shows?

Leave a comment below,  i would love to know.

Hi there, it's been a while innit? Forgive me, I'll try to post more regularly.

I've been feeling a bit uninspired lately to write, take pictures and post on the blog.

I wanted some certain things to be in place for the blog.

But people sometimes disappoint.

As i write this I'm not in the best of moods, but i know things will definitely look up. And this has taught me key lessons.

- You should never depend solely on one person. Have other options.

- Don't compare myself to others as God has planned different destinies and paths in life for everyone.

- Keep striving to reach your goals no matter the challenges.

Tired but smiling

On a much lighter note if you follow me on instagram(follow me Here) you'll know i convocated last week. Remember i talked about it in This Post ?

The day before the actual convocation was very strenuous, from the administrative block, to the bank, then to my faculty,  to a business centre .  .  . ,  i almost went beserk. But thank God i didnt.

I convocated on the Thursday the 17th. It was a very sunny and clear day.

All the graduants processioned into the convocation ground according to faculties.

It was a very beautiful ceremony.  Me and my cousemates however killed boredom during the necessary but long speeches by taking loads of selfies 😉. 

My parents came all the way from Lagos and i was estatic. Some of my relatives who stay around also came. But the real Mvp's that day were my School roomates and friends and my Rcf Unizik family.

They came out en masse to celebrate with me.

My Convocation marked the end of my first degree but the beginning of new things in my life. I'm grateful to God for this.

Even though I'll miss my friends and school life,  I'm looking forward to meeting new people,  going to new places and having new experiences.

Have you ever felt like giving up? Did you attend your convocation? If so how was the experience? Leave a comment below, I would love to know.

So an Astringent is basically a water based solution that, when applied to the skin, is meant to shrink the skin. It also makes the skin less oily.

Neutrogena Clear Pore claims to be specifically formulated to instantly remove surface oil, to control shine and  to treat and help prevent break outs. 

This astringent also contains 2% salicylic acid as it's active ingredient.

This is great as salicylic acid helps in treating acne as it exfoliates and prevents clogging of pores.

The picture above was taken after a few weeks hiatus from the use of the astringent. So it's basically a day one picture. Continued use however gradually gives more visible results.
The Neutrogena Clear Pore has a lovely smell. When applied on the skin it's very cooling. I cleanse my face, then apply  using cotton wool.
After application it doesn't dry as fast as cleansers do. However once it's dry I notice that my pores become smaller and less visible. It also gave my face a very smooth feel.
I also noticed that on the days I use this my makeup lasts longer.  
This product definitely does what it's supposed to. It shrinks my pores, also helps in cleansing and removes oil.
I'll definitely recommend this. Especially for those with oily skin or acne.
