Unwinding Tips

Hello Lovelies, I hope you all are having a great weekend! Here are some of my pictures wearing my favourite purple dress. I took this picture about four years ago in Amsterdam, The Netherland. I recently made a new video to inspire you on how to unwind. Life can get so stressful sometime with work, studying etc, so it is important to have me time sometime. I usually, pray,meditate, eat healthy and dress up no matter how i feel. Even though am feeling down, I do try my possible best to dress up and look my best , doing so helps to boost my mood! I love drinking warm cup of thee and listening to awesome music from Madonna, Coldplay, Rihanna, Beyonce and sting. Most of the time, people tend to judge you by your look, without tking the time and pain to get to know one better.

Going for a walk at the beach is a great way to unwind! Vlissingen in The Netherlands has a great sea called the boulevard! Spending sometime at the beach helps you to clear your mind and receiving fresh sea breeze air is important. Lthough the Dutch weather is deteriorating, winter is around the corner and its getting quite cold.

Have a great weekend! I hope my beauty tips inspires you!

I enjoy making Youtube videos and making pictures as a hobby. If you have some tips on what you like to see next on my blog, Please let me know.

Ik hou van jou!

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

Change your Look Change Your Life!

Hellooo my beautiful friends! Today I decided to share with you the reason why looking your best is essential. By making your Hair Style, Makeup and Outfit styling, makes you feel better, your mood is better and your confidence level would be increased. It is so important for men and women to take good care of themselves. Personal grooming includes wearing neat cloths, stylish clean hair cut, Manicure and Pedicure.

I am a beauty consultant in The Netherlands and I can assure you looking good is good business. If I was looking unkept, you would not like to watch this movie or my photos, you would click it way. People judge you based on your appearance. Whether we like it or not.

If you change your look, you will change your life. Image or your appearance can make a huge impact in your life.

It is very important to pay attention to your appearance.

You have to make more time to look nice. We all do not have time, but we create time.

Understanding why you should dress up every day is essential and makes you stand out from the crowd.

Even if you have kids, and do not have sufficient time, you can make time. Use more time for yourself instead of spending more time on Instagram, Facebook admiring other people’s photos. Putting a little makeup using little concealer, lip-gloss is so important. When people look at you, they look at your hair, nails, and outfit.

It is fine to accept yourself the way you are, but it is important to add extra effort in dressing up.For your hair, you can just blow dry it, add a little serum and make it look nicer.

You do not have to wear expensive clothes or makeup to look great, you can wear affordable makeup from drugstore such as Kruidvat, Iciparis, and Douglas. Cloths from V&D, De Bijenkorf, We, Nelly, Asos are great shops to shop.

Let’s not forget food. Good healthy balance is great. Working hard is also a must!
