The Eve Experience : A female Inspired Resaturant in Lagos (Review)

Image
o I finally put up my first restaurant review after months of contemplation ( this thought was first initiated after the bloggers cookout hosted by Samantha's Bistro HERE  )  on starting a restaurant review / hotel exploration  section of the blog. I came across the eve restuarant (a female inspired restaurant) through a friend who wanted us to hangout there for dinner and karoke saying it's the hub for female entrepreneurs, and a lifestyle platform created to enhance  networking, business development via the female centric events and workshops at the resturant.  The eve resturant is located at 234B Areola Odeku street, Victoria Island, Lagos (Same compound as Escape night club). Walking into the Eve resturant, for the first time was like  walking into a sensuous haven . The ambience was cozy and warm with good aesthetics, the red and black decor gave it a romantic setting . I also like the fact that the resturant is female insp...

Reasons to love valentine without a bae or boo

Image
Happy valentine! It's a day meant for love and everywhere you go today you would see lover's trying to show love one way or the other , but what happens to those without "Boo" or "Bae" like me. How do we get to spend our valentine?  Most people have misconception about valentine being meant for lover's only. Valentine had always been a special treat for me but I am going through a phase (single and searching) right now and I don't have a date for valentine, so am going to spoil myself silly with gifts (self-love)  and also have a nice valentine weekend with friends at a beach house party ( talking about treats).  If you are thinking about self - pity medication as an option for valentine's day, here's an advice -  what's to love, if you can't love yourself ?   So pamper yourself, do something that makes you happy, put yourself first, go out with family and friends, get yourself a gift or better still curl up in bed...

Wandering on the longest canopy walk in Africa || Things to do at the lekki conservation center

Image
One of the favourite  things I love apart from being a book - hungry reader is travelling,  I would love to travel and visit tourist places around the world , but as they always say   you wanna see the world, start from your backyard  .  So I  decided to start  first with my home  Country Nigeria and on a sunny  saturday I decided to see more of lagos city by  going  on  a group tour of lekki conservation center  with friends via   Tvp   adventures . The lekki Conservation Center  is Located after chevron Estate Gate,  just before the 6th roundabout (coming from V.I),  it's a bio-diversity conservation center that protects the wildlife and mangrove forests from the threat of urban development. We started the tour with our tour guide by walking through a wooden bridge that leads us to the nature trail which consists of the Swamp/Marshland and the Savannah grassland, animal...

My Lagos waka || A tour of Nike Art Gallery

Image
 A  picture of the gallery (inside) Happy new week everyone, It's the last week in January (I thought we just said happy new year like minutes ago!!!? .. I guess January just voomed past us like a car on a race) and I have decided to start a series on the blog called "my lagos waka  "  ( this series would showcase my  waka / tour of  the city called  LAGOS ). The first adventure of mine that I would be sharing would be my tour experience at Nike Art Gallery  with my blogger friend catchee  of  catcheeinspired.com  (she's an art Curator, writer / blogger and also an aspiring photographer) The Nike art gallery is actually popular because it's the biggest art gallery in West Africa ( I mean an art gallery with four floors of inspiring art works and unspoken words).  It is located at 2, Elegushi Rd, Lekki, Lagos.  It's a four - storey building that houses beautiful cultural and traditional pieces and from the entranc...

Lifestyle || Let's talk about the ultimate list (new year's resolutions)

Image
So it's the last weekend in 2017 (Yay)  and the new year is just few days round the corner, many people are already reflecting on some of their decisions and life choice's, reflecting on the changes that they said they would make in 2017 and did not achieve while some are making resolutions for 2018 that they might not even remember 6 months down the line. The new year is a moment of reflection (recount the good and bad of past year), it is the time to ensure that we  balance  our life with positive influences, a time to inteospect on your personal growth and learn from the experience . Making new year resolutions sounds easy but a lot of  these resolutions fail because they are not the right resolutions for you as an individual.  The main reasons why a resolution may be wrong : It's a resolution created based on what someone or the society is telling you to change . You don't have a realistic plan for achieving your resolutions. ...

Event: ART X exhibition 2017

Image
Hello friends..........how have you been and I hope your week is going great?! I am so glad I finally get to post about my experience at ART X exhibition 2017 which took place at the civic center, Victoria island lagos between 3rd - 5th November. I attended the last exhibition that took place on the 5th and my first stop was the colouring bus which was placed out, I left my mark on the bus by signing my signature.  My next stop was the ground floor (indoor) where I took pictures at the ART X backdrop, from there I proceeded to the first level where artworks were displayed.  Lemi Ghariokwu's iconic record sleeves designed for flea kuti and the Ghana pesewa coins artwork by Yaw Owusu were both intriguing and breathtaking respectively.      Fela record sleeves by lemi Ghariokwu's  Pesewa coins artwork by Yaw Owusu This photographic artwork is so enthralling  At lakin ogunbawo ...

Hello darlings, how have you been and how's the month of November treating you?!   I'm having a good month with so much events to attend and guess what?!?   I would be sharing all the buzz at the just concluded GTBank fashion weekend. I know this is a break from the norm as I only blog about books review  and books recommendation but that's all going to change as I have decided to re- structure the blog and I am changing its niche from just a books blog to a books and lifestyle blog; I would  be sharing tiny bits of activities am into as a bookaholic.......okay enough said already, now back to the fashion weekend, I attended day 1 of it with biba of royalbiba.com and it was an alluring experience for me as I was able to network and make new friends, and I attended a master class by creative and celebrity photographer TY Bello which was interesting. The setup was nice and there was so many props to take pictures with and so many colourful backdrops to...
