2013 - YEAR OF NO PROSCRASTINATION


Its a new year, a fresh start, a new adventure and an opportunity to put things right.

I am particularly excited about this new year because so many opportunities availed itself to EMBELLISH ME but due to "Procrastination" they were not achieved.

In past years, I had many new year resolutions - work out more, eat healthy, read 2 books a month and the list goes on but this year, I have just one resolution - DO NOT PROCRASTINATE.  Anything that needs to be done, do it NOW.  Do not delay, do not wait, no more excuses.

Ok enough about me already. 

Now in the world of Fashion, no procrasticnation is also the order of the day.  Some people have called it upon themselves and have made it point of duty to take Nigerian Fashion and Fashion designers to the world.  With the likes of Jewel by Lisa having a concession in Selfridges, and i tell you thats where it begins. Before you know it, Nigerian designer would be mainstream and on the highsteets in the Fashion captitals of the world.  The West emerged centuries ago, China, decades ago and still prevailent.  All thats left is AFRICA.  This continent is the "New world" and we young budding enterpreneurs need to raise up to the occasion and let our voices be heard, our trade be seen and our gift and talents showcased.

Embellish me, you need to rise up and be effectual in this world and thats what 2013 is all about for me.  Enough of the dreaming, planning and strategising, it this for taking the bull by the horn, its time for ACTION.

2012 was definitely an eventful year for EMBELLISH ME, new creative designs and clients from all over Europe the Americas and Africa.

Here are some pictures of the our work in the latter part of 2012.

































We have so many more designs to upload and that would be done as soon as we get the pictures.

We would also like to use this opprotunity to thank all our clients and customers that hekped to make 2012 a great success for Embellish Me.

By the special grace of God, 2013 would be a year of greater success, growth and excellence.

Thank you for your support and patronge and may the God Lord continue to order our steps and see us through this new exciting year.

God Bless you all...

From me and the Embellish Me crew...

Stay Blessed and Fabulous.

Embellish Me - Last quarter Update

It's almost November 2012 and I am amazed as to how Quickly this year has flown by.

Made new friends, lost some precious old ones too.  Wedding after wedding, occasion after occasion,  fashion shows and a host of fancy events and Embellish me has been there to beautify and embellish our clients.  All glory to God.

My other life as a professional dancer and performer took the better part of July, August and September  and its looking like its going to continue till February next year.

I have been Involved as a lead role in dance drama stage productions about child trafficking, heart disease and  youth empowerment. Currently working with a dance company to train unemployed youths to become dancers.  It's been exciting.  I would share pictures and links to the videos of these shows once I receive them.

Amidst the dancing, Embellish me is still very busy and ready to serve.

Look out for a review on Lagos Fashion week and pictures of Embellish me's clients all Embellished in new designs and creations.

So till the next time take care of you and 

Stay Fabulous

Hair Glory - Great Hair trends for 2012

There will be no more bad Hair days from now on as great hair trends have taken the hair and beauty scene by storm.  As women, our hair is our crowning glory and it would be great for it to look fabulous every chance we get.  

Here as some gorgeous hair trends to keep you looking absolutely fantastic for a while...

High Buns
High buns are quite popular at the moment and can be worn from a regular day out to the red carpet. Very effortless and chic.  Kim kardashian, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Lopez love this trend.  It can be achieved with box braids too.





Asymmetric Bob
Keri and Riri made this quite popular last year but its has evolved this year and just keeps getting better.




Braids and Twists
Under the new term protective hair styling, braids and twists are so trendy at the moment, the problem really is what colour to go with.





Red, Copper and Honey Blonde
Autumn colours I guess but absolutely fabulous all the same   I am copper and honey blonde at the moment and loving it. Make sure you have your hair coloured professionally and deep condition regularly.








Medium hair cut
These tend to be more elegant and sophisticated. Some highlights in your hair or colour would make your hair cut even more interesting.




Quirky but Fab
Mohawk, Shaved on one side, whatever tickles your fancy... be creative, its in.



Curly Sue
whether loose or tight, curly hair suites most face shapes if not all so go for it.




All Natural
