THE TRUTH ABOUT LIP BALMS

Hello guys, welcome to today's blog post which is talking about lip balms. Lip balms are very essential for a moisturized lip, especially in the cold and dry weather. Tip: Its also very important to use a lip balm before putting on a matte lipstick to avoid a cracked dry lip (totally unattractive).

I remember when I was younger, all I used to moisturize my lips was vaseline. Then as I grew older, I started using lipgloss lol, those ones that would make your lip shineeeee. Then I gradually evolved to lipsticks etc.

                                                                                                                                 

                                 

 Fast forward to recent times, I have tried all manner of lip balms. The ones that are claimed to be the best and the ones I try for experimental purposes but I find out that I still tend to peel my lips. I hate when my lips are dry and cracked, so you will always find me peeling and peeling to get rid of the dead skin. To save me the hassle of always peeling, I needed a good lip balm that would genuinely moisturize my lips and last for a long time leaving my lips soft and smooth. Still yet to find the best lip balm? then this post is for you.

 

I recently found out why some of those lip balms moisturized my lips for some hours and ended up drying up my lips. Most of the lip balms I used contained fragrances or dyes which tend to be drying. To find out products to watch out for included in lip balms that could cause potential harm to your lips, check out this very informative review: lip balm review. A team of researchers decided to put this review together and they also included their top picks which I will be purchasing to try out (they are very affordable).  At the moment, all the lip balms have failed me so far but here are a few things I recommend to be doing alongside using your lip balm:

• Every morning, whilst brushing my teeth, I try to always brush my lips aswell to get rid of any dead skin. I always feel great after this process. Leaves your lips feeling fresh and soft.
• The popular lip scrub: I must confess, I'm lazy when it comes to mixing products for skin care, but I do it whenever I remember and have the energy. Brown sugar, Honey, and olive oil. This mixture is also good for the face as well. It leaves the lips moisturized and very soft.

If you will like to see reviews of any products, please don't hesitate to send a message and I will try to get to it.

Thank you for taking out time to read this post. Keep living your dreams.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE STARTING A BUSINESS

Hello guys, welcome to yet another blog post. Its been so long since I sat down to write and tbh I'm not sure to say I was busy because I could actually create time for this. I was just caught up with so many other things like growing Deluxe Hues, having fun and spending time with family. I am back in school now for the last most stressful lap of medical school, God help me lol.

Today I will be talking about a few things you need to know before starting a business/being an entrepreneur. I started my business almost a year ago and I have learned sooo much. I haven't even been too long in the game but I certainly can feel the weight lol. Here are a few points:

• You have to have PASSION for whatever it is you want to do. This is the first and most important thing about starting a business or being an entrepreneur. Passion is the only thing that will sustain you in the business world and the only drive to do more regardless of whatever goes wrong. As we go on, you will get to understand why this is really important.
• Being an entrepreneur is never as rosy as it looks on the outside. When you start a business, you have taken a big step. It means a few people would know about you and what you do. Obviously, business is meant to bring income (money) so no matter the stage you are, be it the early or late stage of your business, you are already considered to be making lots of money which is not necessarily always the case. So if you see someone start a business and it looks like he or she is making money and that's why you would want to start yours, then you are on the wrong path.
• You will LOOSE a lot of money. It might not be the same for everyone but from my experience, you have to lose money. The business itself is a risk, it may be fruitful and may not. It is a 50:50 thing. In starting a business, you will have to learn somethings on your own that no one else can teach you. You will have to find different tactics in making your business succeed and in the process is where you loose money because everything is trial an error. What works for the other person may not work for you. No one likes to loose money especially when you are not likely to recover it soon enough, that is why you need your Passion to be top notch if you really want to succeed at what you do.
• You need PATIENCE. You will get annoying customers/clients for sure. Some clients can be very understanding while some can be very rude. This is where self-control and patience come into play. No matter how annoying clients are, you need to give a good customer service. Sometimes, it is not always all about the money, you definitely won't make money all the time. You have to see every client as an opportunity for more clients aka more money :). Just by giving good customer service, you will be surprised at how much your services would be recommended regardless of how expensive or cheap your services are. Establish good working relationships, network and get connected.
• You will get frustrated. Im speaking from experience o lool. See, there are so many logistics behind setting up a business and just when you think you have gotten a hang of it, something else has to go wrong😤. Trust me frustration at this point is an understatement because you are not just getting the logistics wrong, you are also loosing money in the process🙆 and this is where you sit back and question yourself lol, is this business really for me?😓 DO NOT GIVE UP! Just keep pushing, it only means you are almost at your breakthrough point, you just need to give it more time and energy. Ask questions from people that have been through your stage, get feedbacks from your clients and most importantly PRAY!🙏🙇 There is nothing to trivial for him to handle. The moment you feel the heat, just take a step back and breathe, relax and take it one step at a time. 
• Dont be in a hurry to 'blow' lol in Nigerian terms (to blow more or less means to be extremely successful in fame and financially), success is not a days journey. It takes a lot of time, and you need to put in the work for as long as it takes. Tthat's the only way you can appreciate your success. Try to enjoy the process, it would be worth it at the end.

These are just a few of many others. I will also be throwing them in even as im on my journey to success but these are the most important things everyone should know.
Thank you for your time and dont forget nothing is impossible. Keep living your dreams.

MY FAVORITE HIGH END MAKEUP PRODUCTS

Hello everyone, hope all has been going well so far. Exams have really taken the best of me and I honestly can't wait to be done. Today I will be talking about my favorite high end makeup products. I am one person that loves to try new products but won't let go of the previous ones that have been working well for me if that makes sense lol. These are high end products so expect that their prices are going to be higher than the regular ones we are used to.

The first product I will begin with would have to be the Lancome Teint idole Ultra 24hr foundation. I dont know the best word to describe this product other than it is awesome. It lasts all day and its extremely flawless. Its medium-full coverage and semi matte for all my oily skin ladies. I have an oily to combination skin and I still get a tad bit oily at my t-zones which is my problem area. It has to be my best foundation.

Buy here

Buy here

The next product would be my favourite mattifying primer. Urban Decay De-slick complexion primer. If you ever want that matte finish? this is the best primer for you. It just gets the job done and a little definitely goes a long way.

Buy here

Macs eyebrow pencil in stud. My relationship with this brow pencil is phenomenal. Its almost like if I run out, theres no other option than to go without makeup. Even if I try other brands which I really haven't, I still run back to my mac pencil. To be honest, the downside is that it runs out quickly, I dunno but maybe its because of the way I use it because quite frankly that's all I use.

Buy here

MAC-in-extreme dimension 3D black lash mascara. Ever since I tried this mascara, I always try not to run out and if I do I must restock asap. Lashes are a huge deal in your makeup. Try putting on makeup and don't put on mascara or lash extensions, the look can never be complete. I am still trying to get used to fixing fake lashes because that alone can take me an hour 😩. Until I get used to it, I will stick with a mascara that elongates my natural lashes. This mascara is so efficient in making your lashes look like they are fixed honestly. Of cus there are other options but the best high end I have used has to be this one.

Buy here

My favorite concealer still remains the mac pro longwear concealer. It has the perfect consistency for the under eye and last a long time.

Buy here

These are pretty much my favorite high end products. For other makeup products, I use any brand be it high end or low end doesnt really matter to me. I try to invest in quality products because my skin is quite sensitive so I dont mind spending a few extra pennies to get a good product. I dont wear make up everyday so I allow my skin to breathe.
Like I said earlier, these are high end products, so there are definitely dupes for cheaper that does almost same job as these ones only that I just haven't tried them all yet lol. Feel free to use products according to your budget and whatever works for you. If you have any questions, please don't fail to contact me on any of my social media platforms. Until then, keep living your dreams :)buy here

......22.......23!!

Hello guys,

Its been a very long while since I made a blogpost. A lot has been going on from school work, to organizing events and even emotional conflicts. Its all not been easy but im so happy I
took the bold step in writing this today even though I have an exam in two days lol.

Did I mention, its my birthday today? hence the title of this post. I clocked 23 today, Glory be to God! and yh I know I am pretty young but trust me the mind isnt ;)

So lets get right into the topic for today. Like I said earlier, I am 23 and I just want to share a few deep thoughts. I will be sharing some of my experiences. Lets call it a reflection on the past to polish the future. I will start with some of the good things. May 24th 2016, I turned 22. That alone is worth thankful for and I recall I was really excited. I had my 4th year medical school exams and passed them all. In November 2016, I launched my small makeup brush line/beauty and fashion company- Deluxe Hues which was a very big achievement I must say and since then we have been growing gradually. The highlight of my life at 22 was the death of my beloved mother. If you have read my post from some months back 'My first christmas without mummy' you would know this. My mum fell ill in May and was sick till her death on the 6th of September 2016. This was definitely the most difficult time of my life and I am so surprised I have been able to stand strong. It is still very difficult for me because she was a major part of my life, my world, my everything and even on this day being my birthday, I can only imagine all that she would have done or said to me. I dont even know if I have come to terms with the fact that shes gone or I have just plain accepted the theoretical knowledge of the fact that she is dead.

I tell you today, this has been the hardest time of my life. Having to deal with similar cases in school as a medical student and how her life could have been saved, if only our Nigerian doctors knew what they were doing or had the right equipment or diagnosis. This doesn't make it any easier for me.

She died in September 2016 and fast forward to May 2017, nothing's changed, I still feel every pain like it was the first time I heard the news. This is something you will never understand until you have lost someone so close to your heart. Its like the pain never goes away, its like its lifelong. I am here to encourage myself and anyone out there that might be having a hard time dealing with pain as deep as losing a loved one or whatever the cause of the pain may be. Its ok to be sad, It's ok to cry for as long and hard as you want. It is not ok to suck up your feelings because you feel it's been long enough, no time is long enough. Dont beat yourself up for crying so hard and embarrassing yourself in the presence of your friends. Dealing with pain can drive you to depression and other forms of mental/emotional instability. Just take it one day at a time and never forget that God is with you and he will never leave you at a time like this. You cannot go through this pain alone, if you go about it the wrong way you'd end up on the wrong side of life. This is the most crucial time of your life where you will be hypersensitive to anything. Just keep your eyes focused on God and all will be well at the end I can assure you so do not fret :)

For those who have not experienced this form of pain caused by grief, try not to condemn what the other person is going through. However form they choose to show their emotion or express their feelings should be accepted, as long as it isn't dangerous to you or the person in question. Please bear with them and allow them to express themselves as this is the only way they could heal. No one is better off than the person that is grieving. Death isn't for specific people, its for everyone and anyone can lose a loved one at anytime.

I am so grateful for how far I have come and all I have been able to achieve in a short while despite the circumstances. I am very positive that God's got my back this new year and greater things are yet to unravel in my life. Join me to celebrate this big 23 and much more years to come and happy birthday to anyone who has their birthdays today and in the month of May.

Thank you so much for your time and remember Nothing is Impossible!

FEMINISM

Hello everyone, welcome to todays blog post. Hope the weeks have been going good. Today's post is all about Feminism and its concept just to give a little insight to those who may not understand the movement. 

According to google, the definition of Feminism states 'the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes'. For a long time, i couldn't call myself a feminist but its not because of the misconceptions of feminism, like feminists are always angry, feminists dont get married, feminists don't like to perform wifely duties and a lot more. My reason was because i just thought there was a deeper meaning to feminism which i wasnt aware of and it would really be unfair to call myself a feminist when i am not well informed. Overtime, we find out that a lot of women are also afraid of calling themselves feminists due to the various misconceptions and how society has termed feminism to be.
Due to this misconceptions, a lot of people have gotten the movement all mixed up and have given it different meanings. 

Based on the definition above, it is what it is, there's no other meaning or personal meaning. It is equality of sexes, male and females are able to coexist "anywhere" without any of the gender being oppressive or dominating. Feminism is feminism everywhere, in the home, place of work, school, anywhere. Men are also to fight for the rights of women too. Imagine if it were to be your mum or sister or daughter being pushed around by a man because he feels he is the man he has to be superior. This means men are also to be Feminists, it's not just for women. Women have worked so hard over the years to get to where we are right now, it would be totally unfair to undermine their efforts because of fear and societal believes. As a girl, your parents worked so hard to give you quality training, will you be doing them good to just go and be dominated by a man just because you think you are inferior? where did all the education go? 

Please ladies, dont be afraid to fight for your right, you are worth more than you think. Being a Feminist doesn't mean be disrespectful, or don't perform your role as a wife which is to love your husband the same way your husband is supposed to love you. Marriage and Feminism are mutually exclusive. Do some more research on the concept of feminism. I will start by leaving a link to a well informed podcast that will guide you on what feminism truly is. Go out and shine and be confident in yourself. Shout out to the guys that advocate for womens' rights.

Feel free to leave your comments and if you have any questions. Until next time, dream big and remember NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL

Hello guys, hope you all are doing fine. Today i wont take much of your time. For those that know me would know how much im in love with fashion and all things beautiful, well who isnt? lol.

Due to my passion for fashion, I decided to launch my youtube channel. I would gladly say i'm more on the thick side in terms of body size and sometimes judging by trends and social media standard of fashion, I have always felt that I wont be able to express myself the way I would want to or wear somethings because I felt I was too fat and it wouldn't look the way it does on other people. There is some form of freedom I get when I dress up however I want to my taste and not to the taste of others; originality. Over time, people encouraged me to do lookbooks to show different styling. It wasnt an easy step to take especially for people like me that love to be lowkey, but I still took the bold step regardless.

In my videos, I try to appeal to everyone, no matter the body type. If you are thick like me, then you can get inspired by my own idea of fashion and twist it to suit your body type. If you are slimmer than I am, you can still draw your inspiration from the way I mix match and also tweak to suit your body type and shape. Just a little disclaimer: I am not a pro like those that took it up as a course, but i try still lol. Fashion is not for specific people, so don't think less of yourself. All that matters is how you rock your outfits and to rock an outfit fearlessly, you need CONFIDENCE! Confidence makes everything look attractive and it is definitely the best outfit anyone could wear. No matter how you look, rock your clothes to your taste and slay all day😉. I will also be featuring some male fashionistas from time to time, so guys you aren't left out.

I will put links to my recent lookbooks and I hope you like them and get inspired. Dont forget to like, share and subscribe. Also the details of outfits are in the description box. Thanks for your time. :)

DRUGSTORE MAKEUP PRODUCTS (BEGINNER FRIENDLY)

Hello guys, welcome to deluxe creativity blogpost :). Todays post is all about beauty and make up products. I have been getting a lot of questions on the right products to use in order to achieve a flawless look without breaking the banks and so i decided to do a little more research and some test runs. Unfortunately for me, due to my geographical zone, i have not been opportuned to lay my hands on the most talked about drugstore products out there. Nevertheless, here are a few i recommend. I have used most of these products and they worked for me. They may or may not work for you but give it a try. Do not also forget that the major key to a good looking healthy skin is drinking loads of water and of cause healthy eating. Lets start from the base and then we will move ourselves gradually to the top.

1.  PRIMER- Primers are made to even out your pores and prep your face for the other products you are yet to apply, increasing the longevity of the products on your skin. For a normal skin, i recommend the Nivea men aftershave balm, you can get it at any drugstore like tesco for my people in Debrecen. I wont say it leaves your face matte, but it does help your makeup adhere to your skin and stay on all day due to its tacky feel. I also recommend the maybelline baby skin primer instant pore eraser.  Sure does erases the pores, you can see a clear difference after you apply this product. Once again i do not think it leaves the face matte if you have extremely oily skin. This product can be found in any maybelline outlet in tesco, dm or rossman (debrecen). For Oily skin, try Milani prime shield Mattifying + Pore Minimizing face primer shop here 
   
2. FOUNDATION: I'm assuming we all know the purpose of a foundation lol. It covers up blemishes and hyperpigmentations. There are different types; light weight foundations, full coverage, mattifying foundations etc. Anyways, straight to the point, i was going through h&m cosmetics recently and i saw they had started making h&m foundations too and luckily for me they had my shade (i was extremely surprised because its not even like im really light skinned). Unfortunately i was the darkest shade if i remember properly but i hope they bring out more shades tho. So i tried it out and it is absolutely amazing. Its not so heavy and it doesn't feel like i have foundation on, its just perfect for my skin and not expensive as well. I am in the shade 'ebony', check it out. Honestly i havent tried out a lot of drugstore foundation because of accessibility. Nevertheless, i will drop some links to which you can order from. L'oreal true match Milani conceal and perfect L.A girl Pro foundation 
   
   
   
3. POWDER: I personally use a translucent powder mostly for my under eye and also for my whole face because i noticed the normal face powder ends up leaving me oily and most times adds much more products to my face leaving me cakey and oily in the long run (this is just for me tho). e.l.f translucent powder , maXfactor translucent powder- i got mine from dm for those in Debrecen. Basically any translucent powder and not white powder so you don't end up looking white.
   
4. CONCEALER: L.A girl Pro concealer The best so far in my opinion.
   
5. EYE SHADOW PRIMER: I use this one and it works for me, very affordable too. e.l.f eyeshadow primer bh cosmetics primer
   
6. EYE SHADOW PALETTE: I will definitely suggest the sleek brand. Their shadows are pigmented which i love and they are affordable. There are also other affordable brands out there, just pick a palette that has colors that suits your preference. The colourpop shadows are also really pigmented but considering where we are, shipping is a huge problem as well as customs. (We are really suffering o 😓) Sleek shadow palette
   
7. EYE LINER: Maybelline gel liner. You can find them in dm, tesco or rossman.
   
8. MASCARA: Maybelline brands are good as well as L'oreal. Check tesco, dm or rossman.
   
    
9. CONTOUR AND HIGHLIGHT: Sleek contour kit is very good for beginners because it comes with the contour shade as well as highlight shade.Sleek contour kit very affordable.
   
10. BLUSH: Sleek here again :) I just really love how pigmented their products are and a little goes a long way. Sleek blush in sahara
    
11. LIPSTICK: There are so many affordable ones in any makeup outlet, just pick your favorite color. I usually advice beginners to go with 3 basic shades for a start: Red, nude and pink/burgundy/coral. Also make sure you always have a lip gloss incase you want a glossy finish. It can be used alone or on top of the lipstick.
    
    
12. BROWS: bh brow pencil
    
13. SETTING SPRAY: This is the last step that brings the whole look in one piece. It takes away any form of ashiness. Sets your make up and makes it last all day.elf setting spray bh cosmetics setting spray 
    
    

Hopefully, i have been able to help with basic and affordable good products for beginners. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me on here as a comment or any of my social media platforms which would be linked below. Remember, with make up, do what suits your skin type and your face. Do not buy into the hype of products except you have a passion for it and you are willing to go commercial with it. You are beautiful with or without make up. Thank you so much for your time.

GIFT IDEAS FOR VALENTINES

Hi guys, welcome back 😊. Today's blogpost would be one of the bonus writeups i will be posting. its all about gift ideas for valentine. The essence of valentine is to show love, not necessarily romantic love but love to family, friends and loved ones. I personally can not remember the last time i celebrated valentine and no its not the cliche reason of not believing love is to be shown on one particular day. I dont even think i have a reason, the day just comes and goes. Anyways i have decided to help out with possible gift ideas i think anyone would appreciate. Just a disclaimer: i am a LOVER of perfumes and anything that smells good so dont be surprised or offended when you see a lot of perfumes 😊😉.

       1.Deluxe Valentine Package

DVP from Deluxe hues is a perfect Vals gift because it has goodies a girl would want all in one. It contains Deluxe make up brushes, chocolates, a lovely hand made card, tasty cupcakes and based on preference you can have roses, wine, perfumes etc. Did i also say the box is one to be recycled for different purposes. You can place your order on facebook by sending a dm @deluxe_hues  

    

   2. Perfumes for Her

 There is some form of confidence that comes with smelling good infact who doesnt love to smell good? So here are some fragrances i am in love with: 

- Marc Jacobs Decadence: I absolutely love this scent. How pretty is the bottle packaging, 😍 It is a sensual, luxurious, and woody fragrance, Decadence embodies the spirit of irreverent glamour. An elegant bottle featuring a deep green python print and a gold chain adorned with a black tassel that can be used to carry the bottle.

- Good girl Carolina Herrera: This is my most recent buy and i must confess i am in love with this scent. Trust me when i say a little pump goes a long way.

a fragrance as powerful as it is sensual. An audacious blend of dark and light elements. For the woman who loves her good side and celebrates her bad side. 

- YSL Opium: This is one fragrance i will purchase over and over and over oh Lord😓😅. i dont even know how to emphasize on how nice this fragrance smells.. well im sure she will love it.

3.Perfumes for him

- Christian Dior  Homme intense: This is a very strong masculine fragrance, i will want to smell this on my man everyday and any day.

- Hugo boss: Just perfect, not so strong and not so mild. I am very sure he would love it.

- Christian Dior Sauvage : I wont say much, get it!!! thank me later 😋

4. Wrist watch

 I think a wrist watch is also a perfect Valentine's gift for him or her. There are so many affordable ones out there that are good and durable.

4. A Dress

 It doesnt have to be red, i will suggest you get a dress that has a color that suits her complexion, then she can always wear it asides your valentine dinner date :)

5. Shoes/sneakers

 whichever is your lovers preference, he or she will be very pleased to add them to their collection.

6.A Card with personal message

 This for me i think its the most important. I would appreciate a hand made card that has a handwritten note in it, its much more personal than the normal cards sold at stores and its so much more believable. Invest in this and its so inexpensive too. Its the little things that count 😉

  

Last but not the least, Asides all these listed above, i will say the key to making your valentine happy is to key into that thing they have always wanted and get it for them. This is the time to pay attention to every little detail of the convos they will be having :)

I hope i have been able to help with some gift ideas. Happy Valentine!

BE FEARLESS.

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Its been a splendid 1 month in 2017 and we are already in the 2nd month. Anyways i'm not even going to take much of your time, lets just get straight to the point. I have had so much i had wanted to talk about, but the hassle in collating my thoughts and bringing it all in one piece 😓!

Todays blogpost is all about BEING FEARLESS. We tend to have fears in different aspects of our lives be it in academics, businesses, or even socially in our day to day interaction with different people. Fear of failing an exam, fear of letting your peers know you failed an exam because you think you would be looked down upon, fear of starting up a business you are passionate about because you dont think it would grow or be profitable, fear of networking or meeting new people because you feel you are not like "the rich ones" or "the big babes or guys around" termed by society or social media standard, fear of being what you want to be because you think you are not good enough and so many others. Trust me when i say i have been there and i know how it feels. I may not have been through it all but i do have a number of fears, not to say i don't encounter them anymore, i still do but i think i know how to wave it off a bit.

One thing you have to realise is that this life is an individual race, no one is going to live your life for you neither will you live your life for anyone else. Once you can assimilate that then i think you got most part covered and taken care of. The greatest killer of this day and age is SOCIAL MEDIA. Social media tends to create a facade, making everything look rich and juicy. Not saying social media is bad, but have it at the back of your mind that not all you see on there is actually what it is and so don't put yourself under the pressure of looking like what you see or doing what you see so as to feel belonged because in the process, i'm pretty sure you will be leading someone else astray too. Nobody can be you so try to stay original and true to yourself, you will be marvelled how much you will be loved for that, in fact there is some form of peace that comes with being who you really are.

The other main aspect i will want to touch is; don't put yourself on some high pedestal you cannot sustain. In life, you will experience failure, be it business or academics. DONT BE SCARED TO SHOW YOUR WEAKNESS, FEAR OR FAILURE. All these are just stepping stones for greater things to come. You dont have to lie to cover up your failure because of ego, you dont have to live a lie because you want to show people that you doing well in business and finances, to be honest, nobody really cares. Those that care will be ready to give a helping hand whenever they can. Live your life to please yourself and God and no one else. Be grateful for what you have and where you are and work hard to grow higher and be more successful. Forget people's opinions on what you do, whether you failed or not, it's your life not theirs, people will always talk regardless so you really will be stressing yourself if you are trying to make them happy with the way you live your life because at the end of the day, you would realise that you haven't really lived at all 😏.

Dare to dream, Think big, go for things you are passionate about. Yes you are scared of failing, yes there will be rigmarole thoughts of it being unsuccessful, go for it regardless because it would only hurt if you didnt try at all. Get yourself out of your comfort zone because truly and really that's the only way to develop self confidence. Do what you wouldnt do on a normal day, make friends, talk to people, read books, feed your mind and soul with anything positive that will always make you smile. Start living your dreams no matter how small, start by living for yourself. There are only two people you can't deceive, yourself and God. So stop trying to deceive others because you are only killing yourself, accept how you truly feel and try to change it for the better. Challenge yourself everyday to do better but don't be too hard on yourself, it's a gradual process. Pray always!!!

I could go on and on but i will stop here. Please live for yourself, dont be afraid to show your weakness, it only makes you stronger for tomorrow. I hope i have been able to inspire someone out there with this little piece because i have inspired myself. God bless you and dont forget NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

GOOD SUPPORT SYSTEM.

GOOD SUPPORT SYSTEM.

Hello everyone, let me start by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR. This is actually the first post of 2017 and i hope everyone is as excited as i am for the new year because i cant wait to see what God has in store for me. It is exam period over here in my school and so all i do is sleep, eat and sleep again lol oh of cus eat as well but i had to create time to inspire someone out there as it's the new year :).

Anyways so for todays post, i incorporated something new; Audio blog. I dont even know if there is something like that but if everyone were to be like me, then i figured i had to make life easy for them. I find it really difficult to read from screens i.e computer or tv screen and so its a bit stressful to read long write ups or posts online. I still read them nevertheless because what can i do, you never know what you might gain right? So in order to give people the ease of reading or getting inspired, i recorded an audio with my guest for today. I actually found it easier because i could ask all my questions without stress of getting straight to the point or trying to minimize texts so they don't seem too long. 

My guest for today is beautiful girl called Beauty :). Shes a physiotherapy student at the University of Debrecen here in Hungary and shes also an Entrepreneur. Beauty was one of my makeup artist at the Glamour makeup party hosted by Deluxe Hues last month. Here are some photos of her work and if you are willing to get glammed for your event, be sure sure to hit her up on facebook (Tamuno Miebaka). Today we get to find out a lot about her which most people do not know and also use her story to inspire someone out there.

I personally learnt that having a good support system is a major key in being an entrepreneur and a student. As a student, you already have a lot of work on your plate as it is, then think of adding the business hustle to it, trust me, its a whole lot of work. If you dont believe me, feel free to try it :). From the little chat i had with Beauty, being around people that support your dreams no matter how impossible they may seem is very important because we are all humans and so there would be times you would feel like giving up, this is where your support system comes in. Your support system could be your parents, siblings, friends or spouse but be sure that they respect your dreams and vision even if it seems ridiculous.

Do not to give up on your dreams, nothing good comes easy. Once you can accept that it will never be a smooth ride, then you are ready to succeed. There is no short cut to success. Make sure you do what you will be proud of tomorrow and never stop speaking positive things to yourself. Until next time, remember NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!
