Yayy!! Friday is here already. Ready for another fashion dish on what to wear to the office tomorrow? Why not try Western fashion simplicity with touches of African fashion accessories? If your office permits smart casual Fridays; why not try dark blue jeans, a white t-shirt or short-sleeved tee and a navy blue blazer, top this off with an African beaded necklace or a Peter-Pan collar necklace to complete the look?
Marie Noelle Spa & Salon, one of Accra's finest and luxurious day spa has kicked off a pampered by Marie Noelle “Selfie” contest where they are giving their beautiful clients the chance to win beauty, health and wellness prizes for doing what they love to do – getting dolled up and pampered and showing it off on social media. This is a fantastic idea and I would even suggest that before you go for a special treatment, take a before and after #selfie to see how wonderful and relaxed you look.
Kurt Carr has always been a favourite of mine when it comes to gospel artistes. His style, the inspiration of his song lyrics has always gotten me raising my hands in worship. So when I heard he was coming to perform at this year’s Harvest Praise, I gladly accepted to attend the show to promote the event on Twitter on behalf of CitiFm.
Twist braids have always been a personal favorite of mine. It was faster to braid which meant less time at the salon and it was easier to take off but not when its alot on the head.
Then came along box braids. It's like being transported back to the 90's and the days of Patra. Thicker and longer than their twists colleagues; box braids hit every social network from Pinterest to Instagram.
I went on a 3km run this morning after slacking for 2 weeks and gorging on bacon, cheese and all kinds of sausages insanely within that period. I am ashamed. But i have repented.

A fruit smoothie is an excellent health option for the individual looking to reduce soda or as we call it here ‘soft drinks’ intake. When you decide to kick drinking Coke, its sadly also the time that you are bound to be bombarded with brilliant Coke ads and often the only choice of drink offered at a lunch party. Have you ever stopped to wonder what benefits you gain from drinking a smoothie or do you drink it because everyone is drinking it and you just want to look cool? Whatever your reasons are, its important to note what you consume and how beneficial it can be for your health.
I find the above opening lines for the famous book by Charles Dickens very fitting for this post on one of the many and unforgettable experiences I had during my time in a girls boarding school. Maybe mine spoof version would be..
Feeding wedding guests can be more expensive than most items on your wedding list. Especially for a Ghanaian wedding & engagement. Why wouldn't it when a wedding can start from breakfast time all through to dinner time? People get hungry and trust me you don't want to have hungry guests on the most important day of your life.
The worst part about having braids is when it's time to take it out. After weeks of showing off with all kinds of styles with my twist braids then came the dreaded moment of taking them out. :(
Women are breaking the glass ceiling in every country in previously male-dominated jobs and industries.
