☆.Song of the week: Airis Olowo Ori Mi.☆

Now I'm pretty sure most of you know how much I looooveee my music, so I decided to post my song/music videos of the week just letting you guys know what songs i'm really feeling. They may not necessarily be new songs but just songs I can't get out of my head or I'm really feeling. Btw I have weird taste at times but anyways enjoy.

Starting this off is a song by Airis titled Olowo Ori Mi (My Lover), it is a Nigerian love song with a blend of different instruments! The meaning of the song is 'the owner of the money on my head' in simplest terms which is used by a wife to respectably reference her husband or a prospective husband.
To me this song is just too cute, or maybe I just love yoruba love songs too much who knows! Anyways enjoy!

Peace & God bless

☆.OOTN: Casual Show.☆

Yesterday I went out with one of my girls to a show that another University was putting on and here are our outfits of the night.

☆.OOTN: Ankara Styles.☆

Like I told you I would be uploading more ankara styles, so here are some pics from my mums 50th birthday which was held last year. The pictures are some of the styles my friends decided to make with the tailor, hope you like it :)

This is a simple dress with a pink band sewn onto the dress.

☆.OOTN: White Party!.☆

The other night I went to an all white party with my girls and here is what I wore. I went for a simple up-do hairstyle (always doing up-dos i know) to add to the classiness of the outfit.

☆.OOTN: Yellowing it up!.☆

I'm always one to go for the easy simple styles when it comes to dressing up, I recently found a shop on ebay that has some really nice simple styles at affordable prices. What is also good about the store is that there are so many different colours to choose from ( I love my colours!).
So I went out with my girls last week and this is what I wore:

☆.OOTN: Ankara top & dress.☆

I realised that I never show you guys what I wear when I go out, and trust me I go out quite a bit (especially to Nigerian parties) Sooooo here is my first post of my Ankara outfits. Hopefully this helps some people out there when they need to find styles to sew ankara, I know its so difficult for me! So I will be posting different pictures when I go to parties and different styles that I liked. Firstly starting with my aunty and myself.

Firstly make-up from the night, and I am also rocking some FloGlo Stylez. Stud earrings...(if you didn't know this is my accessory line soon to be launched!!)

So I got this top sewn when i was in Nigeria, it has a nice flared bottom with puffy arms. The belt pictured did not come attached I just added it.

☆.Recipe: Follyfo's BanNut Smoothie.☆

So guys, you may or may not know but i looooveeee to cook and experiment with different things I just haven't had time to show you guys what i get up to. Well I have been on a recent smoothie craze making smoothies here and there and came up with my own version of a Banana and peanut butter smoothie which I call 'Follyfo's BanNut Smoothie' (Yeah im cool i know ;) lol).
Its a quick simple recipe and for those of you that like smoothies you should definitely try it out!

Ingredients: (Makes approx. 2 cups.)
 ☆ Bannanas
 ☆ Honey
 ☆ Natural  Greek Yoghurt
 ☆ Juice of your choice ( I used Tropical)
☆ Peanut Butter

1. Add half a cup of Tropical Juice into your smoothie maker (or a blender if you don't have a smoothie maker).

 

☆.Protective Style of the month.☆

I got my hair did Y'all...whenever i'm in Nigeria, if you dont know by now i ALWAYS get my hair put in twists..its much cheaper and quicker. it cost me 4,000 Naira which is the equivalent of £16, Can you say BOOYAH! (not even a pack of weave is that cheap). That's why i love doing my hair there and one thing i can say is they do it WELL!..I used the popular hair brand called Xpressions in colour #33 and highlights of colour #30. This will be Number the 3rd hairstyle for the protective style challenge I joined on YouTube.  Peep the pics below!

 I lurvvvvv my twists, i think next time though ill get them done slightly bigger as i already had to take out some from the front so it wouldn't break the hair there. Watch out for some style tutorials!

Anyways until next time...Peace & God bless

☆.Ovation Allstar Christmas Song.☆

I don't know about you, but i always anticipate the next Ovation Christmas Carol theme song. Each year Ovation (the popular Nigerian International magazine) gathers artists from all over to feature on their Christmas theme song. As far as I remember, this has been happening for at least two years and this year was no different. With artists such as Wizkid, Iceprince (zamani), Jaywon and Sir Shina Peters Ovation delivered an incredible collaboration to mark this years Christmas.
I love the idea behind Ovation International's videos, it promotes Nigerian Artists, the popular and not so popular ones.
Check the video out below and ones from previous years.
