August Favourites

Hello beauties, I just posted a video on my YouTube channel. August month has been an awesome fabulous month, so I decided to share with you few of my August Favourite items. I love Mac products, I shared a Mac studio Fix powder in the video, the powder has been my favourite. I have been using Mac products for more than 8 years now, very cool product indeed. I usually buy Mac products from Partum Star, Douglas In The Netherlands, Sephora. I’m also loving the Gucci Rush perfume! It’s just fab.

Last month, I did a lot of styling, after a hard day at work, wearing sweaty jeans and shirt, I like to get home, take my bath with some Nivea or Dove shower gel, dress up in my favourite dress and create an awesome video to entertain you.

I also enjoy spending time with my lovely boys. My sons love playing with toys such as Lego, Playmobile, tennis,voetball water pistol , and reading books. My very good friend introduced me to some cool YouTube videos for kids such as Nintjes, teletubbies (which I already know) and some cool Dutch kids programmes. I got my older son an Adidas shoes and Nike school bag last week, and some cool dinosaur book.

I do love braiding my hair. I style my hair and do my makeup myself. It is essential to wash your hair with shampoo at least every week.

I usually shop my furniture from Ikea and Leen bakker in The Netherlands. Some of the furniture at my home, I alreay have them for many years. I have been living in The Netherlands for more than 6 years, all these years, I used to live alone few years ago, then I bought some items for myself.

Another August favourites are my study books , I recently graduated as International Business and management studies, during my study years, it was compulsory to buy some cool books such as Marketing research, Business ethics, Accountancy. I do enjoy reading my digital marketing book a lot. I recently got a Dutch novel called the Vligeraar, I do love it because it also has a movie too.

I enjoy cooking too, my favourite food is Rice with Chicken, I ensure to add salad to my meal every day, I ate some fruits also on daily basis during the month of August such as Kiwi,banana,Apple etc.

I hope my August Favourites inspres you. I do love to hear from you what your August favourites are. Please do not forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel. I promise you will love it.

Working In The Netherlands

Hello Lovelies! Working In the Netherlands has been an awesome experience for me. I have had ample opportunities to work for prestigious companies such as Kuidvat, De Tuinen, Parfum Star, Allevo, Dorcas, Candelabra and Jacaranda Trading B.V. In The Netherlands. All these years in Holland, I have been happy living here, there are sometimes downsides and upsides aswell. I have also been able to build up my own business as a co founder of Fabulous beauties and watchstar.nl

The dutch people are very friendly and kind. Its als a great country to bring u your children expecially in Zeeland. You can easily find a job in recruitment agencies such as werk.nl, Randstad, Tempo team. Alot of tourist easily get a job in Horeca (hotels, catering and restaurants) . In case you do not speak dutch, it might be a problem finding a job, although there are alot of dutch persons whom speak english language

In Amsterdam, Rotterdam there are alot of dark people compared to Zeeland area. Almost everyone in The Netherlands speak englsh. Although it is very important to speak the dutch language in order to find a good job. The upside of living in The Netherlands is that other european countries such as Belgium, Germany are quite closeby.

It is very important to learn the culture of the Netherlands because the cultue of the Netherlands is very different as that of nigerian culture ( see hofstede cultural dimension).

All in All, my working experience in this country is awesome and I highly recommend The Netherlands to build up your career.

Keep in mind, there are alot of cheese here and you have to know how to ride a bike lol.

I love you

xoxo

How To Deal With Burnout

I love my job, but I do try as much as possible to avoid burn out. Burnout, which is brought on by chronic stress, can cause problems with physical and mental health, relationships, work and more. Burnout doesn’t just happen from working (or studying) long hours, but constant stress can spiral out of control if not handled properly. If you feel you might be on the cusp of burnout, making sure to rest and re-evaluate can prevent a meltdown before it’s too late to manage and keep a normal lifestyle.
Being cautious of the damage that the burnout could cause can help you realise you need to slow down ansd take it easy. But we often get pushed aside for external fctors, like career success and study goals. If you know how burnout can affect your work, you make prevention a prioprity.

My advice for you is to take a break, ensure proper good night rest, and eat properly. Taking a break makes you more productive. You can take a break from your work by going for a vacation.

I hope these tips inspires you!

Stay fabulous

More Tips/summary

Eat three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner); it is important to remember that dinner does not have to be the largest meal.
The bulk of food consumption should consist of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk products.
Choose lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts (with emphasis on beans and nuts).
Choose foods that are low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars; look at the labels because the first listed items on the labels comprise the highest concentrations of ingredients.

My Favourite Fruits

Hello my beautiful friends! I just wanted to share with you my favourite fruits. Orange, strawberries and kiwi. I know so many people does not like fruits, but fruits is very good for the skin and full with vitamin c. In case you do not like fruits, you can try to make some milk shake combining fruits to it or slice some kiwi in an icecream. I very good friend of mine gave me a very delicious Italian drink. It was a mixture of blended chocolate, gin and lemon. I think its something we all can make at home. I know some ladies who uses cucumber on their face as beauty routine.

My little advice for those of you facing some challenges, always remember time heals every wound. Just keep your heads up and stay positive! In stressful and stormy life moments like past weeks I always remind myself that “this too shall pass”. Everything comes and goes…nothing is forever, therefore we must learn to embrace the stormy weather of our lives and perhaps even dance under the rain. I do love to hear from you what your favourite fruits is.

I Love you,
