Rebecca had been home for about a week, since the ASUU strike began, she was bored out of her mind and had no one to talk to, practically all day. The day’s routines were usually the same, stay home alone, as soon as everyone in the compound and her immediate family members left for their businesses. The only other person in the huge compound, was Suliat, her neighbour’s maid, even then, she couldn’t count her as one for good company, because she was always busy with chores. Since her forced return home from school, she had noticed an oddity and she didn’t know exactly what to make of it. As soon as everyone in the compound, both children and adults alike were gone for the day, She would hear Suliat’s wailing from the apartment below, and she wondered at what crimes the poor maid may have committed, that she got punished daily, if her whimpering was any indication. As if prompted by her thoughts, Suliat’s wails ruptures the cloying stillness o...

Natural hair is rumoured to be very high maintenance and this misconception comes about because of all the natural hair bloggers who parade expensive makeup products on their platforms. Your natural hair can not only be taken care of with things from your kitchen, but also with inexpensive hair products that are underestimated because of their price. Below are a list of natural hair products that are very very affordable and still do good work on the hair. 911 Emergency hair treatment leave-in conditioner This used to be a hair staple in some time back, but new products overshadowed it, I hear it’s still very good as it moisturises and strengthens the hair, keeping it shiny and it’s only about 800 naira Dudu osun soap as shampoo Anyone worth her kinks knows that this soap is super helpful for natural hair.

Image via Wikipedia Drink lots and lots and lots of water. Water is, usually, free. And it does this whole detoxifying and rehydrating thing that just makes your skin glow from inside out, something all those $437 creams can’t. Black eyeliner and clear lip-gloss are so in! Don’t ask me how or why but I think they give you a timeless exotic-ness. So go easy on the rest of the makeup, keep it simple. Exfoliate your face once or twice a week. Any good scrub will do,  just make sure you read the label to confirm you don’t react to any of the ingredients (I react to alcohol, for instance). If you aren’t sure, why not go natural? Mix a little oatmeal (a tablespoon) with hot water to form a paste, add a dollop of honey, spread on your face and massage in for  about a minute. Voila! Clear skin. Lose the expensive facial washes. Mild soap works best for your face. I recommend baby soap, or Dove or Ose Dudu (black, native soap).Avoid using your body towel on your face. I don’t underst...
